NATIONAL POLITICS | ELECTIONS. Chicago is to have a municipal elec- tion next week and the campaign is being waged on national issues, the republicans calling attention to the large number of uncmployed and tell- ing the voters that the democratic national administration is responsible for it, while the democrats are asking if in the event of victory by the re- publicans the Chicago common coun- ¢il will revise the tariff and prosperity to the people.

The late William Siering. who at the time kept a on Commercial street, made his p the rendezvous for all the sperts the night Corbett heavyweight championship ting was strongly in favor of and the disappointment of his sup- orters as the news came in that the old waftrior w being beaten, wus plain to be secn. Each one had a different theory as to the cause of Sullivan’s poor showing and it was after midnight before the knots of men left the streets after discussing the battle, the vanquished and the vietor. Sullivan was always an idol with the New Britain sports, and it ured o be said that there were many who disliked Corbutt for years for no other reason than that he neat John 1 who regarded as invincible, bett and Fitzsimmons fought in the day time and it used to be esti- mated that fully 2,000 peopic gathered on Church street that afternocon to listen to the megaphone report given by the Herald as the fight proceeded. There was never as much enthusiasm manifested in a prize fight before or since. The late Thomas H.

There was only a fair amount of interest displayed in the Jefferies- Johnson fight, the news of which the Herald also gave on the megaphone, no paper being issued on that day. The Johnson-Willard contest is in about the same category so far as in- terest is concerned as was the former i hattle, and while a few bets have been made on the outcome the admirers of the men, if they can be truthfully called admirers, are only lukewarm. Martin Julian, who knows as much about fighters as any man in the country, was here ag advance man for singer some months ago, said to the bout Town Man" that Johnson could- beat any of the present day heavyweights in their best days. The only question now is wnat has been 1he effect of hig dissipation during the past few years, The death ford this week recalls a him vears which ably more excitement than in any of James F. O'Donnell 135 in New ago at there was yard handicap given by in about thirty ut's park, over ar contest in Connectrcut, and at that time handicaps were very popu- Frank Kane, who was then a second man, was looked upon as winner of the “cap,” the first ze being $150, but Herbert Rigney of Waterbury, and who Is now em- ployed at the capltol in Hartford, had entered the race and those on the in- side were of the opinion that he and Kane would make a new record that day. No one seemed to pay any at- tention to a young fellow named Wagner, whose name appeared on the score card and who had come into the rark alone and carrying a carpet bag. He announced himself as Wagner: he had no trainer and solicited assistance from any one who would be kind erough to help. John Mickman agreed to assist and when the sprinter sppeared on the track the spectators remarked that he was In fine con- dition for an unknown runner. He won his first heat and it was remarked by those who held the watch on him ihat he ceuld go fast, so fast in fact that Rigney, Harry kEngland, George Meade and “Ted” Fenton, all good sprinters, sat down on the track and r1efused to run on the ground that they didn’t have a chance and Mr. O'Don- nell, who was the referee, decided all Lets off on the heat. The ex- citement was intense the hour came for the final because Wagner and Kane to meet d it seemed as it every one at the park who had a dollar bet it on the race. Wagner had =a start on iane, when in reality he could have niven him one, but as they neared the tape Wagner decreased his speed pur- posely but Kane, who ran his best, the raxt . perhaps, he ever ran, was at his heels and came near neating him that. The excitement was at a high piteh, some claiming that had won, but the decision of the referee that the race Wagner's undoubtedly a fair one. The cry was then that he was a “ringer” and a protest was entered against his being paid the money, Tt was held up for a but it was claimed that he was subsequently given the $150, Billy sund the present evangel wis then doing some fast runnfng himself, and within two weeks after the New Pritain handicap he and Wagner weroe matehed to run a hundrea yvards for £100 a side and the latter won. It was then realized what the local sprinters had been up against in the iandicap at Traut's park., This “cap” attracted. much attention that mes Daw of Philadelpnia, then i well known hookmaker, came on here and made a book on the race, #nd so did the late Jack Howson, ¢ focal fame.

Not all of the offenders live here, miny com- ing from other places, but viewed in the aggregate they edited up to this city. It is gen- erally admitted that the Sunday drunk has practically disappeared from the streets of New Britain. He is seen occasionally, but it is usually coming from the railroad station or alighting from a trolley car suggest- ing that the intoxicants were obtained in other places. The closing of sa- loons in New Britain is due in a large measure to those engaged in the bus- iness rather than to the police depart- ment. The dealers have long since rea- for sts woere are all lized that the Sunday traffic would, if continued, injure the business in gen- eral and they put a stop to it. Many can remember that more saloon bus- iness used to be done on Sunday in this city than on any other d that was a long time ago. New Britain leads in an orderly obser- vance of the liquor law nowadays. The primaries will all be held next week, the democrats nominating can- didates on Monday evening for the common council and holding their convention for the selection of the re- mainder of the ticket on Tuesday evening. The republicans will hold their primaries on the latter day. The most interest seems to center on the candidacies of August Bergstrom for alderman in the first ward and that of O. F. Curtis for councilman in the third ward. The latter is a veteran cam- paigner and there is considerable curi- osity to learn whether during his past few years of inactivity has caused him to go back as the saying goes. He is being opposed by Charles Mueller, a leader of some standing, and other @ nts. These contests are like- Iy lead all others so far as inter- est is concerned. It Mr. Curtis clected he will be in line for office of president pro tem, a position he once filled, provided that a change is made in the s0 as to open that honor to all members of the council, which, by way would not be a bad idea at The president pro tem acts as may: in the absence of the head of the city government, but beyond that there is no power goes with the title. Under the old order of things the senior al- derman acted as mayor when oc casion demanded it, the matter of seniority being determined by the al- derman who received the ' largest number of votes and that weht to one of those who was running at the reg- ular election and not those who wers candidates during an off year, when the vote was lighter, The president pro tem arrangement is much bet- ter and more satisfactory, although eligibility is restricted to the alder- men, when it might as well be left open to the entire council. There have been some exciting contests for the place in years past. The winner can be reasonably predicted this time before the council caucuses the matter provided that a certain gentle- man carries his old bailliwick on Tuesday, and the charter is amended so as to give him a chance at it the on COMMUNICATED.
