The game of football that took place yester-
day afternoon at Capitol Park between the
Swarthmore College, of Pennsylvania, and the
Georgetown University team did not attract
the large audience that was expected, but what
was lacking in number was made up in fervor,
as both sides were excited during the entire
game. The few lusty Swarthmores were re-
enforced by a large delegation of Columbia
Athletic boys, and they made themselves nu-
merous during the contest. The game which it
was thought at the outset would be productive
of good feeling developed into fierce on
slaught at times, which came near ending in
row, but luckily it was averted. The two big
centres, Daily, of Georgetown, and McTlvain,
of Swarthmore, seemed to have a good deal of
feeling in the matter, as they were continually
broiling. The two teams lined up as follows:

Should the weather prove favorable, Gas it certainly ought, after the drench- ing,ia year), there will undoubtedly be a large attendance at the Fourth of July picnic and athletic entertainment to be given in St. Patrick's hall and the grove back of the hall and church. The pro- ceeds will be for the reduction of the church debt, which is now but S2OOO and 1t is hoped that a large sum may be req lized. The program of the athletic ex- ercises has not yet been fully arranged. but 1t will consist of running and leap- ing, climbing greased pole, catching greased pig, ec. A ball game will also be arranged, if possible, between the N. !. B. < F. club and d good team from out of town. There will be dancing in the hall, music for which will be furnish ed by Bliss of East Village. The re- Treatments. which will be for sale at reasonable rates, will form a most im- portant feature of the occasion and all tbe good cooks of the parish are busily planning to contribute each her quota. The picnic will open in the morning, about 10 or Il o'clock, and will continue until late at night. A pleasant time is a foregone conclusion.

Rev John D. Kennedy has entertained his father from New Haven.

Although somewhat hindered by the rain, Saturday night, the festival given by the Sodality of St. Rose at St. Pat rick's hall was gratifying success. A goodly number were in attendance each night and dancing to music by Bliss band was the principal feature, although the strawberries, ice cream and other attract ions were patronized literally by all. The receipts were large. The universal interest manifested in the affair induced the young ladies in charge to continue the festival another evening and the hall and grounds were filled to overfiowing, Monday night, nearly 300 being present. Music was again in attendance and another goodly sum was realized, mak- ing the total between S150 and s2o0. The young ladies are to be congratulated upon the success of this, their first enter tainment, the proceeds of which will be devoted to the Identification of the sanct- ary.

NEwT0WN WINS AGAIN.
Danbury's Crack Team Defeated Once
 More-The Score.

The fourth game of the base ball sea son resulted in another victory for the N. Y. B. X F. club against the crack T.. X l.. club of Danbury. The game was played on the Glen grounds, last Friday afternoon and it will long be remember ed, especially by the Danbury people. It is said that they came here with pockets full of money, but the Hook boys were loyal and bets were quickly taken.
 Before playing was commenced, it was stipulated that the game should consist of seven innings, as the visitors wished to return :home on the early train. It was, however, one of the best games ev- CT seen in town, both sides putting up good ball.
 The visitors were first at the bat and scored the first run, the home team being blanked; but in the second inning the score was tied From the second to the sixth, both sides drew goose eggs and then our boys set the crowd crazy by sending two men across the home plate and obtaining the lead, , to l. It was then that Keane, our pitcher, was knock ed senseless while at the bat by one of McDonnell's drops and in the same in- ming Collins got hurt with foul tip. It made our battery little lame for few minutes aud the Danburys took advan- tage of it, sending two men across the plate and taking the lead, 5 to 3. As the home club went to the bat for the last inning, they determined to win and did so neatly, scoring three runs with only one man out, while the spectators car ried the winners from the field. This mrkes three straight victories from Bean town.
 Our team plays in Woodbury, this af- ternoon at and crowd will go over, hoping for another victory.
 Score of Fridays game:

ed shade lent soft light to the stage that gave it quite a home like effect.
 News of the novel contest had spread abroad and, when the hour came for commencing, the room was we'll filled. Dr Snow, Lawyer Dexter and Rev MT Carter we're chosen as the awarding coni- mittee and the exercises began. The competitors for the prize came forward, one by one, Fanny Brayton, Harry DeN- ter, Tom DePeyster and others, until only Trixy remained.
 Miss Beatrice Winslow,- called Miss platform, arrayed in manner that caus-. ed an irresistible smile in the audience. A faded pink dress, patched with goods of another color, her hair standing out like Circassian girls from the braiding she had given it over night, white apron, like her dress, scrupulously clean, but long enough for one twice her years, a bunch of wild violets pinned on the bosom of her shabby gown, were some of the most startling features of Trixy's toilet. She did not notice the smile that ran around the room. Unmindful of self, but deeply anxious for success for her niother's sake, she knit her small forehead into q decided frown as she un- folded the coarse bit of paper and with a funny little bow began:
 "Who knows the curse of drnnkard's lite? The drunkards children, the drunkards wife; i; hp irfls ,xr b<x, 41,xx f.. But the drunkard's child has no place to flee l; Pity not the animals wild
 But pity, oh, pity the drunkard's chiidn
 Her forlorn appearance, the touching sincerity of her tones, her artless appeal to the crowd before her, touched every heart. A round of applause followed and Mir Carter leaned over to whisper to his neighbor:
 ssShe's bright little creature for q nine year old, eh, doctor?''
 There was a whispered conference among the committee and then the min- ister arose.
 ''The prize has been awarded to Beat rice Winslow,' he said, and then more applause followed, louder than ever.
 Some one rose and came out into the open space in front of the rostrum and at the first sound of his voice, those who knew him recognized it as the voice of Trixy's father.
 ''Friends,' he began and the applause ceased as by magic. 'sI'm not man of many words, as you know, but want to say that l am ready to take the pledge tonight for the sake of my little Trixy there, God bles, her, and do it praying that may live to become pride instead of disgrace to her and that may have Gods help to keep the solemn promise enter into here and now.''
 All pressed around him with congratu- lations and when Trixy, her arms round his neck, sobbed out with smiles that were half tears, "Oh, papa! how glad dear mamma will be!'' there was not a dry eye in the house.
 Trixy is q woman now, but she has never seen her father drunk since that day and, though she is we'll known writer for leading magazines and papers, she treasures as her choicest composition her prize poem.-[ Julia Mills Dunn.

That's the BEE Mans motto,-especi- ally the "work hard.'
 He has done some aiming. too, since he bought the BEE.
 Likewise n great deal of hard work. And the results are apparent. They have been manifesting themselves all along, In various changes and inn provements and forward steps. A little while ago the BEE got out q small supplement or annex and thought thatsit was doing very we'll indeed. Then 1t put forth, at intervals, six. page paper.
 Soon the six pages became necessity and the BEE was published in that form and rated in newspaper directories as q slx-page paper.
 This was doing still better.
 Last Spring, we got out an eight-page BEE and felt real proud of it;
 So proud, in fact, that we got out sev- eral more just like 1t, only, perhaps, a triae better.
 We haven't issued more than six pages for two or three weeks and so, this week, when we had great rush of news and advertising, we decided to give you Ten-page BEE.
 We're not ashamed of it, either, by any manner of means.
 You eau see for yourself that it's ter large pages are filled with bright, newsy entertaining reading.
 It's all set right here In our own office too;
 The BEE doesn't believe in and neve thinks of using the lazy plate matter o the still lazier ''patent sheets" whicl some of its esteemed contemporaries cal to their aid.
 Just glance over the columns of adver tislag matter.
 You'll find some extra good firms rep resented tl,cre.
 And all of 1t is good cash advertising too; the iiKk doesn't care for any othe kind, thank you,

If Newtown has one thing of which she has cause to be especially proud. it is her excellent hotels. Either Dicks or the Grand Central or Taylor's can hold it's place in the front rank of the process sion of first class hotels, against all com CTS from similar or even much larger towns. Bridgeport has but one really first class hotel, the Atlantic hotel. whose fame is widespread; Danbury has none that really deserve the title. Travelling men or drummers are excellent judges of hotel accommodations and their pref erence is shown by the fact that they of ten arrange their routes to bring them to Newtown instead of Danbury and some times insteadof Bridgeport, ,when short halt is to be made. Drummers have only words of praise for Newtown hotels.
