FAIR HAVEN NEWS
Politics Eoiling Over in This
Borough People Off to
May Festival.
It la doubtful If there la territory of j
similar extent anil with t ho samo pop
ulation tin tho borough of Fair Haven
ICast, In tho United .Slates, where there
Is 80 much politico. It, doesn't require
but a small excuse to precipitate not
only political discussions but to tet 1 1m

While thn borough nianagenient $ re

What a citizens' ticket U In tho tb-ld,
, yet the caucus In always Interesting

East Grand avenue, Call to order by
Warden C.eortro k. t'lnrk; .secretary,

evening the caucus wan belnjr iIIucush
ed, ns It has been for several days, but,
for warden and htireses, they foenird
to bo u 11 at s"t, hsi the saying Is, Some
time aso, Mr. Clark nnounced that he
did not care to run again for warden,
hut as candidates are so few, It watt
thought by some thnt lift might bo In
duced to go on tho ticket again. And
concerning burges.-os, pome favored
nominating Lie old ticket and others
favored renominating a part of the
ticket, Seldom has tho situation over
warden and bursessos been so uncer
tain, and so III defined on tho night
before the 'caucus. For tax collector,
It was the general opinion that L. A.
T. Blake, who has been In office a dor,,
en years, would be renominated, al
though It has been reported for some
time that there would he two other
candidates In the field. Orton A. Rose
has been borough treasurer for many
years, nnd he Is not likely ttf have any
opposition. John Parker will doubt-

known whether the board of assessor?
care to go back or not. It. Is usual for
the floor to vote that the moderator
nominate a committor, of three to bring
In a ticket. Sometimes there Is opposi
tion to tills on the part of those who
th nominations made from the
floor. The borough caucus tonight
ought to be well attended nnd Inter
esting. Quite a bunch of people from Fair
Haven went tin to the May festival ut
the Mentonese Paptlst church, yester
day, and there was quite a number
from the city. It wasn't a very good
day for a May outing, but the rain held
off well and the affair was attended by
several hundred and It ought to he a

Another attempt was made to get)
a loaded barse up to the coal dock i
above Crand avenue drawbridge at 4 1
o'eloi k yesterday afternoon, but it !
failed again. The same barge with
some 40i) tons of roal, started up the
river with two tugs, Monday after
noon and grounded in the dr.iw and
was pulled down stream again. Yes
terday two tugs hitched on to the
barge a boat of the Pennant line:
and managed to get through the draw j
tliiti time and to a point about 300 feet
above tho bridge and then grounded.
The tuga did th ir best, but could
not budge the craft and the boat re
mained In till- mud last night. The
tugs took the bout tihuig at high
water, but there wasn't water enough
under the craft to float It to the dork.
Probably the barse will have to he.

The oyster season In the Potomac
river Is over for the season. For
merly many cargoes of Virginia ras
ters came here every spring and they
were planted on the bench beds down
this harbor. Since the price of these
oysters became so high, hut few have
been brought here and only one cargo
caem in this spring. The, following
regarding the Potomac oyster seagull,
taken from the Fishing Gazette, will
bo of interest here: "In the Potomac
river the oyster longing season clos
ed at midnight on April 15. The oys
ter season on the Potomac and other
I tributaries of the bay .formerly ended
May 1 and opened September 1. but
two years ago tho legislatures of
Maryland and Virginia, In order to im
prove the oysters made the season
close a half month earlier and open
a half month later in order to give
the beils additional rest. The wind
ing up of the oyntor season does not
mean that no oysters w ill be on sale,
for there will, unless this season Is
in
exception, be nn abundance of oys
ters brought from private owned beds
to ni"Ot the demand. Twelve esse Is,
practically all the oyster running fleet,

The New Haven high school base

the Washington Glee club nine thl.H
nfternoon at Westvllle, Although the
glen club was beaten badly In Its first
game by the West Haven A. C. lis
chances for making a good showing
this afternoon are assured, for Its
pitcher, Mulligan, will probably be on
the slab. Mulligan was used to
arpielch the hard billing West Haven
nine, which he did, only allowing
three runs In six Innings. The high
school nine on the other hand will
make the best of this game as a prac
tice one, and will try to add It to its

ataln.'t n vcrv sirnne
field, which Included King Edw ard's
Prrrior. the favorite for the Derby.
King Edward and the Prince of
1 Wales were present on the grand

1 Norman 111., who wa.i considered
' a rank outsider, proved a very easy

The Great Western Circuit will this
year be a formidable rival of the Grand
Circuit, for rcpresenlatlves of that se
ries of meetings hive arranged for a
chain of meetings that will cover 12
weeks of time and provide an aggre
gate of $$00,0i)0 for horsemen .to race
their horses for. In order to retain Us
usual hold 011 the men who campaign
their hori-es for tho big purses, tho
Grand Circuit will have to Increase
rather than lessen, tha value of the
purses offered and otherwise to make
the chain of meetings In tho east more
attractive to honienien, The owners
and trainers of the crack trotters and
pacers will go where they can win tho
most money, and tho men back of the
lira nd Circuit meetings will have to
see to It that no other series of meet
ings will bo ablo to outdo them In this
respect If they would not see many of
the prominent stable raring on the
western tracks next summer.
The harness, horae world in won
dering what Goers is going to do
for Fcmallonal trottera and pacers
this year, cays the Cleveland Plain
dealer. In other winters the premier
driver has been able, to show In his
collection of about 60 nags nt the
Mi niphla track a few of each gait
that have been tried high enough to
demonstrate that in the matter of
'ipced at least they worn entitled to go
to the big races. But this year there
la nothing of the sort In sight.
The public la so accustomed to see
ing Geors go dow n the lino every sum
mer with a band of sensational fast
horses there will lie a genuine regret
In case this winter sifter docs not fan
out a few real cra"k. If he falls to
have stars for the ordinary races, the
chances nre all In favor of his string
furnishing the fastest trottera of the
year In Highball.
Peter Manee, one of tho men who
began driving trotters when th breed
ing of the trotter waa In Its infancy,
died a few days ago in New York at
the "age of J2 years. He spent his
entire life, after reaching manhood,
with the trotters, and up to a few
weeks ago was seen almost daily driv
ing a good trotter on the spe 'dway.
He was one of the prominent trainers
al the period when William H. Doble,
father of Hudd Doble; Hiram Wood
ruff, James D. Mann, Horace Jones, F.
J. Nodlng, Dan Mace ami Darius Tall
man wore tho noted men In the sulky,
and In lf drove American Girl to a
record of 2:19, making her the world's
.trotting ninre; Dexter, 2:liU, then
holding the record. He was ;n inmn
lar terms with all the old guard of
trotting horse fanciers, Im hiding Hub
ert Bonner, Commodore Vanderbllt,
Frank Work, nnd others and outlived
them nil. except Mr. Work, wno still
lives in Now York nnd la as devoted
to the trotter as ever.
A friend of the editor of this paper,
who has spent Foine weeks In Califor
nia during the spring, sends us a pri
vate letter containing some observa
tions upon the much touted green
horses. The Pig, pacer, end Pgnli,
t roller, which may be of Interest to
horsemen who will hnve to meet this
pair en the grand circuit this season,
says Trotter and Tncer. Wo may safely
state that the writer Is entirely unpre
judiced, and usually forms a pretty
close eHtlmato concerning a horse: "If
you want me to tell you my honest
opinion. I will say that the two touted
horses here, the Tig sml the Itegili,
will be falso alarms. They are afrall
to work the Pig In company and he lr,
now S or ! years old. Where has he
been for the rest three or four years?
In toy Judgment, be won't quite do.
Regain Is a little rat and nets to me
like n dub. I would not maJte this
prediction positively, but on the pneer
I would be willing to bet that I am
right."

when the Democratic delegates met In

had figured tho state delegation after
Its election as 12 for Johnson and 3 foy
Bryan. When they met Saturday Mr.
Troup asked that the members be poll
ed as to their presidential preferences,
and thev stood fi for Bryan, 2 for John
son and fi unwilling to commit them
selves. This does not seem to satisfy
Mr. Mrynn'B beat friend In Connecticut,
for he refers to those not committed as
dodgers but he comes out of the affair
with bis forces multiplied by three,
while Johnson has only one-sixth ot
what had been allotted to him.
