NEW ORDINANCE REQUIRES ALL REGISTERS TO SHOW
 OFFICIAL BLUE PLATE

The only huckster or peddler licensed to hawk his wares upon the streets of Brid geport today is one J. Van Deman, who applied yesterday to the chief of police for the issuance of a license. It was not his intention to be the only licensed peddler, but with others he happened to call just as the new badges and plates had arrived from the Board of Contract and Supply.
 According to the ordinance every peddler must display a large blue enamel plate upon each side of his cart besides publicly displaying the brass badge issued by the city at q cost of $5 In addition he must have his measures inspected and properly stamped by the sealer of weights and measures.
 Many have already applied for li- censes. but owing to the delay in re- ceiving the metal plates had been told to continue selling under the old au- thority. Now all will be required to conform to the law or suffer arrest.
 The wagon plates are of blue enamel with white lettering and numbering being about 10x12 inches in size and readable for a considera ble distance. The badge is of brass and plain in design

Baseball Strikes Paris.
Baseball has come TO Paris, and has
taken the city virtually by storm
Negotiations are under way for the
purchase Of a ball park in the BOis
de BOulogne; sporting houses are
stocking baseballs, bats, masks and
gloves to meet an increasing demand
and the American baseball vernacular
is being translated into French.
All this is the direct result of a few
exhibitions of the great American game
witnessed near Paris recently. but
France was ripe for the innovation.
Grated on a newly awakened love for
outdoor sports and living that has
grown up in France recently, baseball
bids fair to become the most popular
and fashionable method of its express
sion.
Several hundred curious spectators
