THE NATIONAL GAME.

New Haven F0rfeits a Game to N0r-
 walk-Justified in Doing SO-Umplre
 Corcoran Makes a Mistake-He Calls
 Play After the Thirty Minutes are
 Up-The New Ravens Start In by
 Putting Up Another Poor Game In
 the Field and on the Bases.
 The Norwalks won their first game in the Atlantic association yesterday without having to play for it, as the umpire declared the game forfeited to them by the score of 9 to 0. Two innings and half were played. At the
 beginning of the third inning it began to rain
 and the New Ravens protested against play
 ing, but Umpire Corcoran kept them at it.,
 although it was raining hard and nearly
 everyone had sought shelter in the grand
 stand. Time was called at the end of this
 inning after Umpire Corcoran had given the
 Norwalks the best of it in batting ball that was so wet the pitchers could barely hold 1t. After time had been called play was not called until after the half hour was up and then the New Ravens refused to play. It was raining even then.
 Norwalk started the game by filling the bases on errors by J.Corcorsn and Burdock and hit by Chadwick. For old aequaint. ance sake Galligan rapped the ball between lett ana center ana It rolle0 under 8 DaID- wire fence, which Lally could not get over, and "Gal" made the circuit of the bases. Nobody out and four ruas.
 For New Haven, the first two men to the bat got to first base, but by rank base rum ming were put out at third base. Horner pitched but three balls in the sec ond, retiring the side. Burdock got hit and stole second, but he was left there. It began to rain, but the umpire said play. Norwalk got another run in this inning OF Lally's huff of ball that belonged te Brady.
 Time was called at the end of the first hail l of the third. At the end of the thirty min. | utes it was still raining, but Umpire Cor
 ooran called play. As the time had expired | Manager Burdock refused to play. Int | game will be protested on the ground tha
 the umpire's eyesight was decidedly pool | when he looked at his watch.

 Peck and maier Zunder Will Run
 Again-A Third Ticket Probable.
 Colonel Homer B. Sprague, the champion of the free text book idea, will address the public at Lincoln rink this evening. Every- one is invited. The supporters of free text books have nominated as their candidates for members of the board of education Alderman
 Samuel R. Avis, James A. Howarth and Max Adler. Mayor Peck and Maier Zunder, re- tiring members of the board, will run again on a ticket of their own. Who the third man on this ticket will be is uncertain. An effort is being made to induce ex-Representa- l tive William H. Law to accept place on this ticket. A third ticket may be placed in the field by the public meeting which the Hfoh School Alumni association has called to meet at Loomis' Temple September 6. HIS LICENSE REFUSED. Thomas y.

MOVING THE OFFICERS.

Consolidation Of tho Derby and Rousa.
 tonic Brings About Many Changes.
 One result of the consolidation of the Derby railroad with the Housatonic has be- come manifest already. The offices in this city will be removed to Bridgeport and the repair shops will follow fin few months. Treasurer Atwater received notice on We'd nesday from President William H. Steven son notifying him that his services would not be needed after August 31. Secretary Kellam received similar notice. and 50 did Auditor Hiteman, but the latter was in- formed that he could go to Bridgeport if he wished. Mr. Atwater confirmed the report yester- day and said his services would cease with the present month. The reason for such a l proceeding, he said, is owing to the Consoli-
 dation of the Derby with the Housatonic system. It will not hereafter be necessary
 to have the offices in this city, as the work could be done as well by the secretary and
 treasurer of the Housatonic system. It would also lessen the expense. It is not known whether or not Auditor Hiteman will go to
 Bridgeport.
 MT. Atwater has been with the New Ha-
 ven and Derby road since April, 1867, ever
 since 1t was started and long before the road was completed

Many friends of the late Mrs. Marsden, beloved wife of Mr. s. L. Marsden, viewed with deep interest yesterday very fine DOT trait of the deceased lady in the window of the Yale Art store on Chapel street, few doors below the New Haven House. It is an admirably faithful portrait of the deceas. ed and is reproduced on canvas from fine picture of her taken while she was in Lon- don, England, in 1872 on European trip. The portrait was executed for Mr. Marsden by young and talented Boston, Mass. artist, MT. Charles v. Sharpe, and it recalls to those who had the rare pleasure of &C., quaintance with the deceased, the sunny ma ture, refinement of mind and soul and beau ty of character, which eminently characters ized her and brought sunlight and joy to the home circle and the circle adorned by her presence and brighted and quickened by her cultivated and original conversational pow CTS. The beautiful portrait is well set in a frame of much beauty and taste, reflecting credit upon MT. Dahlmeyer of the Yale
 store. The picture speaks to many friends of one whose memory is dearly cherished ] and whv.o ubsuuce Will loug pc missed, ro calling the beautiful lines:

By good batting on the part of Johnston, Quinn, Ganzel and Kelley Boston tied the game in the ninth and went one ahead in the tenth, but in their half the Washingtons made two runs on two bases on balls, single by Wise and double by Wilmot.
