THE sEooND GAME.


 At 4 o'clock the Hsrtfords took their places in the field, and the first contest for the State championship began. It ended a tie, and was called on account of darkness The feature of this game was catch by Gilliland, the like of which has never been seen in New Haven. Henry was at the bat and he bunted @ short fly. Gilliland, who has long legs, ran in for it, and by great effort just got his left hand under the ball before it touched the ground. Gilliland's work in the box was good, but before he ever becomes a pitcher who can be relied upon he must get better command of tho ball. But three hits were made off him in nine innings, but his wildness spoiled some of the effects of this record. In the third inning he pitched but five balls.
 New Haven had the game 4 to o at the end of the third, but in the fourth Gilliland got very wild and also failed to watch the bases, which, followed by bad throw to second by Pitz, let Hartford score three runs. In the next inning Winklemsn led of with . two bagger and took third on a wild pitch by Gilliland. O'Rourke got his base on balls, and Winkleman scored and O'RouIke took third on Pitz's bad throw to second. Henry struck out, but Pitz failed to hold the ball and he threw to Schoensck. The latter was not on his base and threw the ball home to cut of O'Rourke, bat 1t was too late. The next three men went out. This left the score 6 to in favor of Hartford.
 In the eighth after two men were out Pitz raised the hopes of the crowd by making e two. bagger and he scored on Lally's single. This tied the score. Neither side scored in the ninth, and as 1t was too dark for the players to see the ball the game was called. ruu

 The J. P. Pigott association had It's annual outing yesterday. They "sailed the seas over" little and landed at Port Jefferson where their banquet was served, all hands enjoying the feast and the social amenities of the occasion.
 On board were the following: President James P. Pigott, Secretary J. A. Redmond, Treasurer Peter Chute of Hartford, O. T. Driscoll, Michael Dillon, Michael Walker, Registrar J. J. Carr, Daniel Colwell, Tax Collector Theodore Futile, Hon. N. D. Sperry ex-Town Agent James Rey- holds, J. J. Sullivane, Morris T. Lynch, W. H.

Neal, Captain Lawrence O'Brien, O. A. Tomlinson of Milford, Thomas M. Ksenan of tho Selden House.
 Alderman Frank O. Bushnell was toast master and right we'll discharged the difi- cult and delicate duties of the position. About % orators were called out and Port Jefferson rarely, If ever, in it's history heard so much in the way of daclamation, quota tions from Shakespeare, Walt whitman and other poets and citations from the digests.
 The most notable speeches were by Hon. N. D. Sperry, James P. Pigott, Lawyer Hubbard of Wallingford, Mir. Walsh of Dan. bury, City Clerk Downes, Editor Spillane of the Waterbury Democrat, Colonel Wright, the gentleman from New Orleans, Lawyer George P. Ingersoll, Colonel Stevenson and Mir. Tomlinson of Milford. Lawyer Hubbard was called on the rebuttal and surre-rebuttal. City Auditor Lake was vigorously called for, but eluded the universal call by moving the previous question and asserting that he had his physioian's certificate, which absolutely forbid his "speaking in tho open air." As the afr at Port Jefferson was decidedly more open and much less humid than that which oppressed this city yesterday, the auditor was excused. The association got back home at about 2 o'clock. They had a three hours stay at Port Jefferson. The associa- tion always sails under sealed orders and the destination is kept @ secret until the boat is out upon the open sea. A fabulous amount of refreshments were taken along on the boat for the occasion.
