Results of the Gamos in the Big l eague
Yesterday.
At Philadelphia Philadelphia de
feated New York in the most exciting
game played here this season. The
numerous exceptions taken to Umpire
Burnham's decisions by both teams
were more of a feature than were any
of the plays made. The objections on
the part of the visitors culminated in
the fourth inning in the umpire's or
dering Doyle from the grounds. In the
seventh inning Reilly did not come
-within fifteen feet of touching third
and scored, but Burnham's back was
turned and he allowed the run. The
game was a loose exhibition. Smith
pitched well for the home club until
the sixth. Carsey was the substitute,

MISS VAUGHN WANTS A LICENSE.
Health Board Appoints a Committee to
Investigate Her Maternity Hospital.
Miss Gertrude A. Vaughn applied to
the board of health at its meeting yes
terday afternoon for a license to keep a
maternity hospital at 45 Stevens street.
This application was made under an
act passed by the general assembly,
which provides that no person shall
keep a maternity hospital or lying-in
place unless such person has previously
obtained a license issued by the mayor,
board of health of the city, or health
officer of the town.
The act provides that within six hours
after the departure, removal, or with
drawal of any child born at a mater
nity hospital, the keeper shall make a
record of it, and the names and resi
dences of the persons who took the
child, and whatever disposition o such
child or Its body is made, and the place
to which it Is taken and left, such rec
ord to be produced by the keeper of
such hospital for inspection by and up
on the demand of any person authorized
so to do.
The act provides that the person au
thorized to inspect a maternity hospi
tal may remove any article which he
thinks presents evidence of any crime
being committed therein and deliver It
to the coroner. Violation of the act
is punishable by a fine of not less than
$50 nor more than $500, or Imprisonment
for not more than one year, or both.
Miss Vaughn was present and In re
ply to questions by Dr. Flelshner said
she was not a midwiSe. She was only
a nurse. 1
Mayor Hendrlck excused 'her, and
when the matter came up again Dr.
Flelschner said he thought such an In
stitution if conducted legitimately, was
a good thing in a community. If, how
ever, such a place was used for criminal
purposes, it was a criminal business
and should not be licensed. Miss
Vaughn had had a good deal of unen
viable notoriety, and though he had no
doubt that she would get a license, he
thought it well to appoint a committee
to investigate Miss Vaughn's place and
as to whether she was a suitable person
to have a license, and report at the
next meeting.
This action was taken and the mayor
appointed Dr. Flelschner and Health
Officer Wright a committee.
The Empire Laundry company was
notified to abate the nuisance caused
by smoke at its laundry in Edgewood
avenue within six days.
- Regarding the nuisance caused by
smoke from the new round 'house of the
Consolidated road at the Cedars no
action was taken, a communication
having been received from the railroad
company that it would abate the nui
sance as soon as possible.
The board Instructed the city attor
ney to bring prosecution in the case of
the Costello property in the rear of the
Forsyth laundry. There Is a big hole
there and a petition signed by 108 rest
dents of State and Mechanic streets
some time ago was presented to the
board asking that the nuisance be abat
ed. Thirty days' notice was given and
the hole has not been filled, so the
matter was referred to the city attor
ney. 1 he Coming Big Barbecne.

MORE ABOUT PAVEMENTS
HEARING AS TO THE MATERIALS TO
BE USED.
A Good Deal of Talk Before the Committee
on Streets About Sheet and Block Asphalt,
Vitrified Uriok and Belgian Pavements.
The committee on streets moved up
another peg last night In the matter
of street pavements, taking up the re
port of the chamber of commerce. The
chamber's recommendation regarding
the Issuance of bonds to the amount of
$500,000 having been disposed of by a
legislative act, and the bonds being
ready for the market, the committee
had for consideration last evening the
question as to what kind of material
shall be used. The full committee was
present, with Alderman Hamilton In the
chair.
Joel A. Sperry, a member of the com
mittee of the chamber of commerce,
that made the report, said experience
led him to believe that block pavement
was the best pavement. The pave
ment he had seen that gave the best
results was the block pavement of four
inch blocks laid on an asphalt founda
tion. This pavement, he said, could
be taken up and relald, and have the
street In as good condition as original
ly. As for asphalt pavement, he said
It was very good for the people on the
street. It was a quiet pavement.
Asked by Alderman Hamilton if he
had seen any vitrified brick pavement,
he referred to the pavement in York
street, and admitted that it showed
very little wear.
Regarding asphalt pavement he said
his experience showed that It needed
a good deal of repair. He said that if
the city was going to lay asphalt pave
ment it would be ,a good plan to regu
late the width of wagon tires. The nar
row tires in use here tear the pave
ment. In Paris, where there was as
phalt pavement wide tires were re
quired, and In London and Liverpool
the tires were wider than In use here.
He had seen the Buffalo pavement, and
his Idea was that the asphalt pavement
there had to be repaired In five years.
He did not think it was a desirable
pavement.
William S. Wells favored asphalt
pavement for residential streets.
PoJice Commissioner Doolittle told
the committee he thought for heavy
teaming the dimension blocks, with
concrete foundation and well grouted,
the best. Vitrified brick made a good
pavement for light travel and asphalt
was good for residential streets.
At this point Judge Sheldon brought
up the vitrified brick pavement In
York street, laid of Syracuse, Great
Barrlngton and North j Haven brick,
and City Engineer Kelly said this
pavement had given satisfaction.; He
was favorable to the brick pavement,
which, he said, in reply to Councilman
Ullman, was not in its experimental
stage. He said regarding brick chip
ping, that the chipping the first two
years was greater than the years that
follow. He was not In favor of filling
brick pavement with cement, because
with cement the pavement became solid
and when It is taken up it is difficult
to same the brick. With sand It was
an easy matter to take up the brick
pavement. Asked if he would lay as
phalt at State and Chapel streets he
said no. At any point where there are
a number of street car tracks he would
lay vitrified brick.
Asked by Councilman Chlllingworth
regarding asphalt an brick pavements
Mr. Kelly said It required extra labor
to put down asphalt, while brick could
be laid by labor procurable in this
city.
Mr. Kelly said the pavement In York
street cost from $1.90 to $2, and the
brick pavement in Ashmun street $2.13
a square yard.
Discussing brick and asphalt pave
ment with the committee Mr. Kelly said
from a sanitary point the apphalt was
the better. Further on, he said. It
would cost more to maintain the as
phalt that brick pavement.
Pressed by Councilman Chlllingworth
regarding the comparative cost of the
two pavements, Mr. Kelly said it was
his opinion that asphalt pavement could
be laid for $2.50. The price now was
$3, but he thought the asphalt people
would have to come down on their
price. He believed they made 1$ a
square yard on the work. i
Ex-Counllman Smith, who was for
merly a member of the street commit
tee, said that one pavement might be
good for one city and not good for an
other. He said if New Haven had
put down brick pavement in Chapel
street from State to Orange, an as
phalt pavement from Orange to Church
and a block pavement to Temple, then
there would have been a chance for
comparison.
E. J. Morrison, a representative of the
Hastings company, spoke in favor of
asphalt block pavement. The ingre
dients were 80 per cent of trap brick, 7
per cent, of pulverized carbonate of
lime and 13 per cent. Trinidad asphalt.
Improvements had been made in as
phalt blocks by the substitution of trap
rock for lime stone. He estimated the
cost of his pavement on a sand foun
dation at $2.65. On a six inch con
crete foundation, as in Hartford, the
cost would be $2.90. He did not think
more than a four Inch concrete founda
tion was necessary. Questioned by
Councilman Chilllngworth, he said his
company delivered the blocks to the
city of Holyoke and the city put down
its own pavement. He saw no reason
why New Haven could not secure the
blocks in the same way. The Hastings
company's works are on the Hudson
river and the freight charges would
not be heavy. Mr. Morrison promised
to notify the committee as to the price
for delivering the blocks at the dock in
this city.
Frank C. Bushnell, of the chamber of
commerce, said he was In favor of sheet
asphalt in every street In the city, ex
cept possibly Borne that are too steep
for this kind of pavement. He did not
gree with Mr. Sperry that sheet as
phalt was damaged by heavy truck
ing. He said we did not want to go
to London or Paris or Liverpool for ex
perience. Mr. Bushnell wanted to go
nearer home. He asked Mr. Morrison
how he made out that asphalt block
was not as slippery as sheet asphalt,
and Mr. Morrison said because of the
trap rock In It. Having elicited this
Mr. Bushnell told the committee that
sheet asphalt contained about 75 per
cent of sand, and he held that sand
was not as slippery as trap rock.
Mr. Bushnell said New York was lay
ing sheet asphalt and' had Just award
ed a contract of $305,000 at $3.22 a yard.
"Now that's what New York has
done," said Mr. Bushnell with vehem
ence.
'They had a pull probably to get
that," said Councilman Chlllingworth,
"I don't know about that," said Mr.
Bushnell.
S. A. W. Dodge, general manager of
the New Haven Street railway com
pany objected to the six inch concrete
foundation on the ground of expense.
He said the railroad company had to
pick up its Joints, whlcl necessitated
taking up the tracks. He said the rail
road company wanted a good pave
ment, but it wanted one that could be
easily taken up and put down. The
railroad company could not afford to
get experts to do the work.
Mr. Bushnell said that was Just the
trouble. The railroad company want.
ed to take up the pavement and put
it down as It pleased-
Mr. Bushnell lntirr-tes. In a left-
handed way," replied Mr. Dodge, " that
the New Haven Street Kailway com
pany, when it takes up a pavement
does a slouchy Job. That is not true.
I challenge anybody to show when' and
where the New Haven Street Railway
company had done a slouchy job."
Mr. Bushnell retorted that it had done
so and added:
'I want to make a statement, not left-
handed, but plutn'b In the face. The
New Haven Street Railway company
and the Fair Haven Railroad company,
barring West Chapel street, never left
the street in the condition it found It
when It began repatrs."
T want to say," said Mr. Dodge, "that
when he makes that statement he
makes a statement thajt is not a fact,
and Mr. Bushnell catinot prove It."
Mr. Bushnell said he could, and Mr.
Dodge said he couldn't and the matter
was dropped.
Road Commissioner Johnson depre
cated the fact that the board of public
works was short of money and said that
the present plan of paving street under
the legislative act meant that in five
years the city would 'have to take up
the work again. He held that it would
cost more to maintain the proposed
street with either brick or asphalt pave
ment than it would to do It probably
with crushed stone.
The committe will meet Monday eve
ning to give a hearing regarding West
Chapfl and Ashmun streets:
Belmont Gets Henry of Navarre.
Saratoga, Aug. 13. Henry "of Navarre,
the "best four-year-old thoroughbred in
the' United States, and Dorian, one of
the best handicap horses In training,
were to-day sold at private sale to Au
gust Belmont. Mr. Belmont came from
Newport to accept the bargain and got
ahead of Pierre Lorillard, who wantjd
Dorian. Mr. Belmont said the prise
would never be divulged even to his
friends. Mr. Belmont, Pierre Lorillard
and others have been trying for a long
time to purchase Henry of Navarre. By
the terms McClelland will keep Navarro
till the racing ends In this state. He
will merely act as trainer, however, :dl
the money won by the colt going to Mr.
Belmont. Stories have been afloat that
Mr. Belmont contemplated taking hi3
entire stable to England next year and
that he was making all his purchases
for that purpose. When asked about it
he would neither deny 'nor affirm It. As
Mr. Belmont has entered very liberally
in stakes in England which close
yearlings, color Is lent to this story.

ABOUT THE SOLDIER BOYS
YESTERDAY HAS A SCORCHER IN
CAMP, BUT DRILLS WERE KEPT UP.
A New Order of Food Inspection Sham
Battle Yesterday Captain Glennon
Thrown From His Horse and Hurt
Visitors in Camp The Signal Corps
Tolly Jottings.
Camp Coffin, Niantic, Aug. 13. To
day the soldier boys are fairly settled
In camp, and as the stopper off at Ni
antic leaves the train the first sight
which meets his eyes is the members
of the provost guard who are station
ed about the depot to intercept any
whilom deserters from the stretches of
white canvas which cover the field just
back of the town. After a ten min
utes' ride the visitor is ushered into
Camp Coffin, the present rendezvous of
the warlike Inclined of the Nutmeg
state, and here true martial discipline
is observed. As one sees the streets of
canvas tents and 'hears the strains of
martial music and the shouting of
orders reach one's ears with the boys
in blue talking of the campaign, It
seems almost as if the days if '61 are
back again, but as we reach the inner
most recesses of the camp and hear the
Jolly talk and merry Jibes, and see the
peaceful air that reigns the illusion is
dispelled.
The day opened with a most dense
fog.the densest.so says the historian of
the Grays, that he has seen in his nine
years of camp duty. But the atmospher
ic phenomena play no part in the
routine of camp duty, and after the
regular morning exercises
A SHAM BATTLE
was the feature of the afternoon. Lieu
tenant Colonel Cole, with the Third reg
iment, went about two miles from
camp to prepare an attack upon it.
General Haven prepared the line of de
fence, which was represented by signal
corps men with flags, each flag marking
the location of a company, if there be
any in evidence. The manoeuvers con
cluded in the afternoon by Colonel
Cole projecting a clever flank movement
on General Haven's left near the shore.
The men generally declare it a victory
for Colonel Cole, but the decision is
left with Major Babcock and Captain
Thompson of the United States army,
detailed by the war department to be
present at the Connecticut camp.
OTHER MILITIA WORK, ETC. x
At 11 o'clock there was the regular
battalion drill. Here the military pride
of Connecticut was desplayed In all Its
fine feathers, and no native of this old
state could view the scene without a
feeling of pride. Arranged lri-their va
rious positions were the several regi
ments, all going through the manual of
arms and togged out In spick and
span military costume. ' '
At 12 o'clock came the dinner call,
which was responded to with alacrity,
the Second regiment going to the mess
house at the extreme end of the ground
where Hicks Brothers of Waterbury
cater to their gastronomical, wants.
After dinner was guard mount, and
then on the parade ground a striking
scene was presented with those off duty
lying on the grass around the edge of
the field looking at their less favored
brethren. Among the onlookers were
also many ladies, who added a pictur
esque effect to the scene. Toward the
east end was the detail from the Sec
ond regiment, and hardly any of their
New Haven friends would have recog
nized the detail from the Grays con
sisting of Corporal Hill and Privates
Farnsworth, Baldwin, McNeal and Fox,
with their soldierly tread and seeming
complete knowledge of soldiers' duties.
After the guard mount was the ar
tillery drill, in which the various gun
manoeuvers and handling was gone
through with. There were also several
rounds of powder fired to lend a truly
warlike semblance to the scene, at
lease this is the reason which pre
sented Itself to the "Courier" man who
was watching proceedings.
Soon after the artillery drill there
was a dress parade, at which nearly
all those in camp, except those on
guard duty, took part. At this time,
about 4 o'clock, the full complement of
visitors had arrived, coming from Hart
ford, Waterbury, Milford, New Haven
and other townB Interested in the do
ings of their "sojers." A most brilliant
scene was presented with the troops in
full array and the various officers rid
ing about the field on spirited chargers,
issuing orders which were In turn re
peated to the companies by the proper
respective officers.
The battalion drill and regimental
drill are longer by one-half hour-than
previous drills of this sort have been.
FOOD INSPECTION.
Commissary General Peck has inau
gurated an entirely different system of
food inspection from what has ever been
in working before, and at his request
General Havens has issued the follow
ing general order:
The commissary sergeant of each reg
iment will superintend the Inspection tf
each meal furnished by caterers, and
company commissary sergeants will re
port to him on- blanks furnished for the
purpose by the commissary general af
ter each meal, these reports to be for
warded to Brigade Commissary General
Henry L. Peck through the regular
channels.
A blank has been prepared by General
Peck for this purpose, and an- these are
named all the provisions used, with
spaces at the bottom for the regular
rating of every article of food, and these
are rated as excellent, good, fair and
poor. By this system much of the poor
food furnishing is done away with, and.
as one caterer remarked, "They inspect
every hour." The Inspection includes a
careful lookout at the cooking tent, the
mess house and waiters' sen-ice. The
Second regiment boys are, however,
kicking against the rations, and one re
marked that a fork failed to make apy
impression in the potatoes which were
served up yesterday, while Colonel Bur
pee had to wait about a half hour be
fore a waltei oame around to serve him.
The Third regiment, however, unites In
saying that they have good commissary
looking after, and this is not to be wan
dered at, as C. A. Bradley, the well
known -New Haven caterer, has charge
of their food supply, assisting Samuel
L. Terhune of New York, to whom,
through the . recommendation of Mr.
Bradley, was awarded the feeding of
the Third regiment. At this mess house
about 675 hungry soldiers are fed each
day, and to-day seventy-five watermel
ons were cut to supply the hungry
brown-hatted boys. The bill of fare to
day oomlsted of all good meats, pota
toes, tooth common and sweet, cabbage,
fresh bread baked on the ground, cof
fee, tea, pickles and desert, consisting
of pudding, cake, huckleberries and
melons So It is seen that the boys-will
not starve on hard tack. The boys of
the Second are anticipa ting better cook
ed stuff after the valiant "kick" put up
to-day.
Colonel Burpee was so busy all day
thbt he hardly had time to perspire, and
