city visited Norwalk, to play a match game

storm which occurred about noon, Just as the

les met them at the depot, and received them
oourteously. 1t was soon arranged that the
game should come OF, and soon after they re-
paired to the fair grounds, which were found
though wet, to be in better condition than
was expected. Mr.. Baker, of Norwalk having
been chosen umpire, (and, by the way, he
