The Land League Picnic.

A General Good Time at the ParE-E0rse
 Trot-The Creased Pig Runs-NIr. Red
 mond Speaks-An Interesting Address
 by the Celebrated Irish Agttator on
 the Land League.
 The union picnic of the Land League oT- ganizations of this city took place yesterday at Hamilton Park and in all it's numerous features it was an entire success. By two o'clock all outgoing cars of the Fair Haven road were crowded to their utmost capacity and vehicles of all sorts were pressed into
 service by the picknickers, that by six
 o'clock not less than 1000 persons were on
 the grounds. The first feature on the pro-
 gramme was the base ball match between the
 we'll known Atlantics and Echoes of this
 city.
 The game was exceedingly well played
 throughout and up to the last half of the ninth inning was tie, the score standing 4 to 1.
 In this inning one of the Atlantics man aged to reach the home plate, thus winning the game for his club, and at this point fur ther play was stopped.
 After the game concluded the pie nickers gathered on the stand facing the rac- ing track to witness the one mile trot5ing race in two heats, for which there were two en tries "Just Such'' by Jas. H. Lewis and l 'sElectioneer'' by George Faulkner. The 1 first heat was won by ''Electioneer' in 3:O1. After this heat MT. J. J. Flynn introduced l MT. Thomas J. Kennedy as chairman of the l meeting. MT. Kennedy, after few appro- priate remarks, presented to the meeting MT. William Redmond, ia gentleman whose connection with Land League interests { is known to you all, and who will now say 8 few words regarding the results and purposes of the League"
 Mr. Redmond, who appears young man of about twenty eight years, slender in build, but with clear cut and intelligent features, was received with loud applause. ] In his address he said that he came to this | country at the urgent request of Messrs Davitt, Parnell and other prominent gentle men, and was desired by them to remain | here and deliver a few addresses on the sub 1 iect of the Land League and it's objects. l Lowe soon clutched the animals slippery limbs and piggy was prisoner. ! This ended the formal part of the amuse ment programme. Throughout the day the ! dancing music furnished by Landrigan' E
 band of six pieces was enjoyed by numerous 1 dancers.

A New Sound Steamer.
The Monster Pilgrim to be Put on tn
 Fall River Line.

The Monster Pilgrim to be Put on the
 Fall River Line.
 The mammoth hull of the Pilgrim, the largest iron sidewheel steamer ever built and which was recently launched, after two at- tempts, from the shipyard of John Roach & Son, Chester, Pa., arrived safely in New York harbor on Tuesday night and anchored off Bedloes Island. Wednesday morning she was lowed to the wharf of the Morgan Iron works, Ninth street, East River, where the finishing work will be done. The large crowd attracted by her arrival saw 8 white iron hull with white woodwork above the guards, what appeared to be two large iron houses and an unfinished gallows frame. On the pier were her massive boilers, cranks and
 other parts of her ponderous machinery.
 The Hera1d thus describes the Pilgrim :
 The Pilgrim was built for the Fall River line, and in her construction every attention was centsred upon developing high rate of speed and affording liberal accommodations l to her passengers. She is 400 feet in length
 over all, and her width of beam over guards | is 8s4 feet. Her hold is 17a feet deep, and ! her tonnage 8,6OO tons. She has two com plete iron hulls, one inside the other, and l there are eighty-four water tight eompart- ! ments.
 There will be three decks and 253 state- rooms, with accommodations for 600 passen- gers, the largest capacity of any steamer on the line. The engine, which is being built at the Morgan Iron works under the supervision l of John Roach & Son, is the largest that has ever been constructed. It is intended to de velop 5000 horse power, with capacity of ! 5000 if necessary, which is more than has | ever been obtained from single cylinder | The shafts will be the largest ever forged. | being 40 feet in length and weighing AZ tons ! each. The material of which they were \ made consists of horseshoss, washers and boiler plate cut small
 Her cylinder is gigantic, being no inches ! in diameter and having a stroke of IA feet. l The piston rod is a foot in diameter. Four ! immense boilers, of new and valuable pat
 tern, will furnish the motive power. They will be capable of consuming sixty tons of
 coal every ten hours. The paddle wheels ] will be 40 feet in diameter, with a width, at \ teen feet. She will have two smokestacks Her entire cost when finished will approxi,
 mate $1 100000, of which $7OO, 900 is esti mated to be the value of the material in it's crude state. She will be fitted throughout ! with all the latest Improvements. Every precaution has been taken against fire and &C., | cidents.
 l It is expected that her maximum rate oi ! speed will bs twenty miles an hour. Her up
 holstery a1 decorations will be of the most 1 elegant and substantial kind, and in magnif cence of interior work she will excel any steamer that ever sailed the Sound Her kee | was laid in March, 1881. and it is expected
 that she will be in condition for business in April 1883.

Big PIcnics Coming-Lively Times at the
 Shors.
 A correspondent says 'It has been the custom for some people who should know better to undress improperly and bathe in full sight of inhabitants and visitors. This practice will be stopped, and that people may be informed of the consequence, the follow ing has been officially decided upon:
 "All persons bathing without proper clothing on West Haven shore will be liable to arrest and prose- cution."
 Big picnics coming to the shore are Tem- pie of Honor excursion of New Britain, Aug 1st.

 hen belonging to MT. Joseph Andrews laid an egg recently. When he broke it open he found another perfect one inside. He had it on exhibition last Wednesday at Wilmot & Warmers.
 Miss Grace Hyde of Gardiner, Mass, is visiting at Alfred Edmondson's on East ave- nue.
 All unite in saying that the electric light on the shore is great institution, especially to bathers. It has increased the patronage at the shore in the evening nearly double. Among other attractions at Railroad Grove they have added skating rinks, which will be very popular with young and old. Ths Sea View and Beach Houses have 8 large number of guests, and numbers of new ones are arriving daily. One would not believe what difference there is in the air at the shore from that in th1s city. Yesterday morning the heat was stifing in the city and down there there was cool breeze wafted in from the Sound. The telephone is also great institution at the shore. There are a large number of them in the different cottages. Messrs. Wilmot & Warner, the grocerymen, and John M Bald win, the butcher, are kept very busy in the morning answering calls for their edibles to be sent so the late risers in the cottages can have something for their breakfast. Edward P. Brett dove from that fatal West Haven spring board Wednesday and struck his head against the hard sand of the bottom and when he came up would have fallen back into the water from the shock had not two men seized him. Half an hour'e vigorous rubbing restored him to the use of his limbs, but did not wholly dissipate the effects of the injury. The concussion from the violent contact of the head with the bot tom produced 8 shock which it will probably | take him some days to fully recover from The water at this point being only three or four feet deep only skillful divers use it with safety. It will no doubt be removed.
