 It was altogether too hot to play tennis Sat
 urday, but nevertheless the players went out
 to the grounds where the sun came scorch-
 ingly down. Quite number of admirers of
 tennis, despite the fact that the thermome-
 ter was over hundred, assembled at the
 grounds, but it was too hot to thoroughly enjoy all the fine plays that were made. The
 contests of the day were to decide who
 would take seeend prize in the singles. Lud- dington was to play Pavey and Thatcher was
 to meet Campbell, who contested with Mac- Mullen for first place and was defeated. The first match was between Luddington and Pavey. The latter won the first set. 6-3, and the former won the second, 6-1 Then Pavey forfeited the match, as the heat over came him.
 Campbell and Thatcher played fine match, but Yales crack player, although it seemed several times as> if he would win, could not overmatch Campbell's brilliant playing. Before time was called, one set
 had been played. with ColeEhis'S favorite as the winner, 7-5.
 
 Campbell, but the lattef refused to take it that way, and after s0me discussion Thatcher agreed to play pIoTided recess was taken until four o'el1Gk, which was done. There wsa little interest taken in the after noon, as<the heat was so intense. Thatcher failed to appear so the match for second place was played between Campbell and Lud- Arlington. Campbell won the first set and Luddington the second, but Campbell took l the third and won.
 F.. The prizes were then awarded. The first prize for singles was awarded to B. F. MacMullen. It is solid silver pitcher of I Greeian design. O.. s. Campbell took the I prize for doubles, pair of decanters, was | awarded to Campbell and Hall.
 | The tournament has been success in every way. There has been some fine play l ing and the spectators have had rare treat. I The tournament will not close until to-mor- | row morning, when Slocum and MacMullen at eleven o'clock will finish the match for the championship of New England. ! He Was Ungrateful ana Proved a thief
 I A farmer of Morris, Conn.,, needing farm { hand few weeks since employed an able bodied Hungarian fellow in want of work | that came along one day. After working faithfully for a time, he last week left sud denly between two days, taking with him 6 suit of his employers clothes and $150 in money. He was soon missed and pursued so closely that in less than twenty-four hours he was caught, the clothes and money reeoY- cred and the prisoner safely lodged in Litch- field jail. He could not speak g word of English, 30 that he was the more readily
 overtaken. This shows the need of caution
 in employing strangers.
 TresPassinG on the Hammonassett. A party of gentlemen, committee from the Middletown County Game and Fishing association, who question the rights of the Hammonassett Fishing association of New Haven, decided to visit and fish in the Ham, monassett river on Saturday last, notifying the Hammonassett association in the mean time that they would do so. They made the trespass Saturday morning and were put off by one of the watchmen. It was the in- tention of the officers of the New Haven as- sociation to meet them and they went out for that purpose, but were delayed and did not arrive until after the gentlemen from Middle town had retired. The Middlesown associa- tion now has an opportunity to bring suit if they so desire.
