She was a young lady of about twenty-one yeats and carried herself in admirable fashion. “The dactor” is a comic play, lying clearly within the domain of farce, inasmuch as it does not attack any foible or folly of mankind and its mirth does not always follow the lines of strict probability. The lJocal cast sustained its reputation for being one of the liveliest, brightest and most laughable plays ever written.

Murphy of this holder of the Cameron proxy in the Eastern baseball assoclation, was | again absent from the meeting of the board of directors held today in New Haven. Despite the adverse decision o0 the national commission, Clarkin of Hartford, Carey of Springfield and Murphy, acting for the New Haven club, have refused to take a part in the affairs of the association as they don’t want to have any games this season. The national ¢commission has approved of the action of the other directors in declaring the three fran- chises forfeited on account the action of the owner: Mr. Murphy does not believe the victory will have any special meaning, as he feels it will be next to impos- sible to get grounds in Hartford, New Haven and Springfield for league sames this summer unless Cameron, Clarkin and Carey are in the league, | as they have control of practically all the available parks The local man is of that there will be but little, if any, professional baseball in- Connecticut this summer, and next year he expects to find Hartford, New Haven dand Springfield in the New England league Carter Opposed town, of the opinion to Suffrage.

The Equal Franchise league is now preparing to “show up” the legis- lators who claimed sympathy with the suffrage cat before they were elected and who voted with the antis yesterday May Organize Company, Among the advocates of a sewer there are a few who are seriously considering the plan of organizing a stock company for the purpose of huilding a sewer system for the town and operating the same as a financial venture. They claim that while such a scheme might be novel in tais local- ity it hag heen vroven practicable in other parts of the country and there is\no reas why the investment Carter on wouldn't show a profit in Plainville.
