GRAND CONTEST
For the xupremaey-Fat Mems strug.

For the Suprenaey-Fat Mems Strugs
gle.
A correspondent writes: sThere was such
rousing contest for the victory among some
of New Ravens fat men very recently that
friends and admirers of the aforesaid bulky
fellows declare the affair ought not to go un-
noticed by the New Press. The bulky men
met Ct Ruh's Grove near No Mans Land,
that remarkable tract of land on the border
of East Haven and Branford which tradition
says is owned by nobody. Upon this tract OF
land the contestants stepped and awe fell up
on the birds, the ants. the toads and the
crickets of the vicinity. for as these heavy
| weights stepped upon the tract the earth it
self trembled visibly. The contest was awe
| inspiring. 1t was a footrace and as the pom
derous men smote the yielding turf and gray
81 with their heavy feet there was, it is
gravely asserted, connection out at sea, and
leviathans of the deep drew nearer to shore
to see the cause of the unwonted connection
Mike Hessler, the burlv and handsome State
street baker, won the grst prize, rare and
remarkably musical whistle, while Mr.. Kis~
singer of Nash street, putting and blowing,
came in all smiling, winning the second
prize. The third prize was captured by
Charley Wirtz, the genial cigar manufacturer
of East street, near State. All agree that if
he hsd not stumbled and fell, nearly
wrecking one of his legs, he would certainly
have won the first prize, for even with his
mishap he raised his ayoirdupois with such
celebrity and resumed the race with such
agility as to win the third prize. causing
his friend Buchter, who made valiant
pull for victory, to lose his final chance
for distinction in the struggle. The fun
was greatly enjoyed, and wound up with q
big diuner, to which all the Titans did full

Senenth Annual Meeting of the Gro
Quet ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to be Con.
tested For at Norwich.
NORWICH, Aug. 20-The seventh annua
tournament of the National Croquet assoeis,
ton to be held on the grounds of the Norwich
Croquet club on Cliff street during the pres
emit week promises to be one of the most in
teresting meetings yet held. The players
will be classified according to relative merits
and there will probably be three classes COM
peting for prizes at the present meet. This
is in keeping with resolution adopted by
the National association at its last meeting,
which provided for the establishment of four
classes of players, the status of the players to
be determined by the votes of the clubs in
the association. This classification matches
players of nearly equal skill in the prize
games and makes the contest closer and more
interesting.
Representatives from the State associations
of Michigan and Ohio will take part in the
games. This will be the FIRST time the vest
ern clubs have been represented in the Ma
tional associations tournament. The Ohio
players are from the eight croqueto school,
which differs from the "loose croquet" prae-
tees by requiring plays from fixed points,
tific work may be expected from them.
q. W. johnson of Philadelphia, first prize
winner of 1888, and Prof Charles Jacobus of
New Brunswick, N. J., the winner of 1885,
DR.. Ira B. Reed of New York, the first presi-
dent of the association, and Spaulding of the
Townsend Harbor club have already arrived.
Two hundred copies of the third edition of
the "Rules Governing the Game of Croquet"
will be distributed free among the members
of the association.
A prize known the "Spsulding Social
Prize" is offered to contestants at the tour
nanens under the following rules:
The player, whether prize winner or not,
who won games on regular schedule, as de-
termined by the committee of arrangements,
shall have the shortest time average, will re-
ceive prize of a handsome mallet; pro-
vided,
First, That no player shall be entitled
thereto unless his won games are 80 per cent.
of the entire number of games assigned to
him.
Secondly. That the record of games shall
include no ''ties" or final 'play-offs," but
only those assigned at the first complete reg
ular drawing.
Thirdly. That all games actually played
shall be entitled to record, even If any
player, for any cause, should not finish all
games assigned to him.
Fourthly. That each umpire or the players
themselves, should there be no umpire, shall
make an exact record of the time of each
game, on slips printed for the purpose, and
hand the same to the secretary, by whom the
averages viii be made ont and the prize
awarded by the president in accordance with
the decision of the secretary.
