A STATE FLAG. Special Committee of the General Assembly Will Consider Designs. The governor sent to the House yesterday a communication accompanying a memorial from the Anna Warner Bailey Chapter of Groton and Stonington, Daughters of the American Revolution, asking for the adoption of a state flag. memorial recited that when the Chapter desired some months ago to procure state flag for decorative purposes, it was surprised upon inquiry to learn that there was no duly authorized state standard. The Chapter had discovered after thorough investigation that there had never been any one of the distinctive flags borne by colonial troops of Connecticut in the Revolutionary War, or in any other wars in which the troops of this colony The Designs Submitted for a State Flag for Connecticut.

have been engaged, which had been adopted by the General Assembly. The chapter urged the adoption of a state flag and submitted two designs, copies of which are printed herewith. Both the designs have all white fields, and the ground upon which are the grape vines is white in both cases, while the ribbons bearing the state motto are The quartered escutcheon in the firest design contains the United States seal of 1782, the seal of General Washington, and, dominating both, the state seal of Connecticut. In the second design the national colors are on the of the state seal, and the cereals on the right are in light green. The memorial recites that the color red is intended to suggest divine love, valor and war; white symbolizes truth and hope, purity and peace; blue represents loyalty, sincerity, justice and used by the Scotch Covenanters to typify piety.

On motion of Mr. Warner of Putnam the House passed a resolution providing that speaker appoint a committee of eight representatives and the lieutenant-governor one senator, the whole to act as a special committee on this question. Under a suspension of the rules it was voted to transmit the resolution at once to the Senate. As Speaker Fessenden was not present the committee on the part of the House was not appointed. SUPERIOR COURT CLERKSHIP.

Petition in Favor of Francis Chambers for the Position. A petition to the judges of the superior court asking for the appointment of Francis Chambers as clerk of that court for Hartford county has been signed by nearly seventy members of the bar, including ex-Judge Dwight Loomis, Elisha Carpenter, W. E. Simonds, Lewis Sperry, William C. Case.

John Hooker, George Sill, Sherman W. Adams, Lewis E. Stanton, Harrison B. Freeman, Judge Thomas McManus and other well known lawyers. It will be remembered that Mr.

Chambers was superseded in the office of assistant clerk by George A. Conant, who is giving general satisfaction in the office. The present petition is for Mr. Chambers to be appointed to the clerkship, and is not intended to interfere with Mr. Conant.

A prominent member of the bar said to a "Courant" reporter yesterday afternoon: "The is that the clerkship of the Hartford county court is the second in importance in the state, that of New Haven county alone being more important because of the larger amount of business the court of that county. But, nevertheless, the office is the poorest managed of any court clerk's office in the state. Everything is done in a shiftless, haphazard way. What life, and nineteenth century methods there are in the office have been put in by Mr. Conant, who is well liked by everybody, who is doing what he can to make matters more comfortable for those doing business in the office.

The members of the bar who have this petition are interested only in bringing the office to an up-to-date convenient help in the transaction of public business." The meeting of the judges to which this petition will be presented will be held next Monday at the Capitol. MR. BARTHOLOMEW SUED. New York New England Railroad Company the Plaintiff. The suit for $200,000 of the New York New England Railroad Company against the estate of George M.

Bartholomew, insolvent debtor. was begun before Judge Thayer in the superior court yesterday. The action grows out of transactions of Mr. Bartholomew while he was president of the Hartford, Boston Erie Railroad and trustee of the Hartford, Providence Fishkill Railroad. In 1863 he bought a piece of in this city for $4,250 and the plaintiff claims that he took the amount from the treasury of the Hartford, Boston Erie road to pay for the land and that he also took a like amount from the treasury of the Hartford, Providence Fishkill road and that he appropriated one of the sums to his own use.

The plaintiff claims that again in 1878 while he was a trustee of the Hartford, Providence Fishkill road and just before the road was transferred to the New York New England Railroad Company, he took $42,500 from the treasury in payment for services for twenty years, when he had received his pay in other ways for all the services he had rendered. The defense is that the money was taken by Mr. Bartholomew in payment for services. E. D.

Robbins and J. W. Perkins are counsel for the railroad company and Henry C. Robinson and Major Hyde for the estate of Mr. Bartholomew.

"Beautiful Nova Scotia" is the name of a very attractive little book just issued by the Yarmouth Steamship Company of Boston, Mass. It is descriptive of that province and the most desirable route by which it is reached, and is replete with half-tones of the places of particular, and many of historical interest. The ocean trip by one of this company's fine steamships is a special feature of the tour. A copy of this book can be obtained by addressing the company at Pier 1, Lewis wharf, Boston. YESTERDAY'S MATINEE.

A Perfect Afternoon and Good Sport. There ought to have been a larger crowd over at the club track yesterday afternoon. to witness the events on the program. The afternoon was simply perfect, but it was just as perfect out in the country, and a great many forgot the matinee to take a spin on the trolley. The new isn't off that novelty yet any means.

The classes ought to be better filled, too. There are plenty of good horses in the club, and it ought to be the easiest thing possible to ring up a string of half a dozen for each The events don't signify anything as regards the speed of the contestants, as the horses are usually handicapped in one way or another, and it lends interest if the winner of to-day is beaten to-morrow. The Events, The afternoon's scramble opened with the nearest to 3-minute special, Messrs. C. W.

Pratt, D. E. Strong, E. Kenyon and F. W.

Turner competing, the firstnamed winning by an overshoot of seconds. In place of the 2:45 class a special was made up with Messrs. Pratt. Strong, Bowdoin and Turner in the hunt. Rev.

John's trace became unhooked just as the word was given, but he kept on the journey, notwithstanding the handicap. He was first in the stretch and looked like a winner until the last moment, when Ben Jefferson forged ahead and nipped him out half head in As between these two the next heat was a pretty one all through, the pair going a head and head drive, Ben barely heading the Rev. John in clever time for the top-wagon hitch and considering that the winner hasn't had a "workout" nor a brush this spring, which is true of the other white-face SO far as these notes know. Messrs. Pratt and Strong were content to watch the leaders, neither forcing the fight.

The free-for-all did not fill, and owing to a misunderstanding the double teams did not compete. Mr. Allen jogged his pair around the ring a couple of pairs noticed were "George Deming's four-year-olds, Dick Blumenthal's fine pair hooked to his trap, and there were creditable single teams in plenty. Among the visitors from out of town was W. B.

Smith, of New York--the guest of Mr. Thrall. Mr. Bingham sent the horses away, E. C.

St. John as usual jotting down the findings of the judges. Larger fields next week. RECEPTION TO MISS CLARKE. Ruth Wyllys Chapter, D.
