WORLD OF SPORTS.

One of the best games of ball which
the people of Ivoryton ever witnessed
was played Saturday between the local
team and the Acmes of this city. The
game was called at 80 to allow the
AGNES to catch an early train for home.
The batteries of both teams played an
almost perfect game but three hits
being credited to the IvorytOns and four
to the AGNES. KlobedanZ, the pitcher
of the Brass Citys, who SO signally de-
feated Co G a week ago, was in the box
for the AGNES and he again demonstrate
ed his ability as a pitcher. Lachance
ably supported him behind the bat and
desired. Hahn on second base played
phenome nal game. Cassian, of the old
New Britains played third base for Ivory
ton and made a difficult one hand catch
and also a double play unassisted.
Eleven innings were played and neither
sides scored a run. The game was then
called to allow the visitorsIto catch train
for home. The batteries were Johns and
Hughes for the Ivorytons, Kobedanz and
Lachance for the Acmes. A return game
will be played here June IA. The Acmes
| will make a three days, trip this week.
Friday they play at Middletown, Satur-
day at Portland and Sunday at Dexter

About Transportation of the First

A dispatch from Meriden complains
that the transportation of the companies

ford, for the field day, next Tuesday,
will be furnished by the state, and that
the Second regiment companies pay
their own railroad fare for their field
day on the following day. When the
Second regiment order was issued it was
freely reported that. as the expense of
pay of field, staff, band, hospital corps,
etc, would be met by the state, the regi-
ment would furnish the transportation

The Second regiment paid it's own ex-

June, but the state allowed one day of

state paid 81 800, or any sum towards
the trip of the First regiment to Mon

also the statement that such was given
to induce the regiment to allow the use

that there was an understanding to that
effect. The entire expenses of the trip

And Ed Mcdonald Received What
He Richly Deserved.
About 100 men from Waterbury and
New Haven, including twenty-five Yale
students, rode to Arlington yesterday
morning, and in barn owned by Pat
Morris, Ed Mcdonald of this city,
weighing 14O pounds, and Dan Walker
of New Haven, weighing AS pounds,
fought a finish fight for gate receipts,
which amounted to $50. Mcdonald had
understood that the fight was to be a
fake, but Walker undeceived him and
went into him for business. Eight
rounds were fought, Walker decidedly
being the better man. and in the ninth
Mcdonald quit fighting and the fight
was awarded to Walker.
The Journal and Courier says: The
timekeeper called time for the ninth
round and Mcdonald refused to respond.
The referee then awarded the fight to
Walker. This did not satisfy Walker
and he tried to make Mcdonald fight by
calling him everything, but it was no
use. Walker then showed Mcdonald
up by telling the audience that Melon
aid came down, trying to arrange a
flake fight" and wanted to have
Walker get knocked out in the sixth
round, but Walker refused, and McDOn-
aid had to fight the best he could.
Walker was as fresh as daisy at the
finish and did not have a mark upon
him. Mcdonald. however, showed the
effects of Walkers wicked right on his
face. He was cut on the side of the face
and he had lump as large as hens
egg on his forehead. His left eye was 6
little under the weather. also. Taker

throws considerable light upon the in
side workings of the fire board and calls
for an investigation. To reporter Mr.
Kelly expressed himself even more
vigorously than he does in his letter.
He declares that he is tired of being by
innuendo accused of accepting brides
and if the council sees fit to investigate
the doings of the board, he will tell all
he knows.
Chief Snagg, when seen by reporter,
declined to make public denial of the
charges. He said Mr. Kelly was foolish
to cause such a sensation. as there was
no foundation to the charge of bribery.

SHIPPERS HIGHLY PLEASED.
saturdays Excursion to New Yor
BY the New Route

Saturdays Excursion to New York
BY the New Route.
The excursion given by the Meriden,
Waterbury & Connecticut Railroad, in
connection with the New York & New
En- gland, to New York Saturday, was
one which gave the participants some
idea of the terminal facilities and ad-
vantages that both roads have in the
way of handling freight promptly and
satisfactorily, and besides no small
amount of pleasure. Indeed, the day
was all that could be asked for-pleas-
ant, bright and cool.
The excursionists were as fine body
of representative business men as could
ford, New Britain. Plainville, Bristol,
Terryville, Waterbury and of course in
cluded the solid men of Meriden.
The trip to Wilson's point was made
in good time, and there the party board
ed the Cape Charles, a rOomy, fast and
convenient transfer steamer. Shortly
after the start an excellent dinner and
other refreshments were served which
were greatly enjoyed. The steamer ran
down the East river and stopped at the
two new iron piers, As and as, at the
foot of Jefferson street. The party in
spected the two piers, which are without
doubt the finest on the river front, being
iron covered with roll-up fire-proof iron
sides. The new twin-screw transfer
steamer Express was lying by the south
pier. This boat has carrying capacity
of twenty-three loaded freight cars, and
can hustle them along with the speed of
a packet steamer. With the proposed
system the New England road can
handle freight as quickly as all COM
petitors from the metropolis to any
point in New England

Written for the Iron County Register,
CHAPTER III.-cOntiaued.
After the old gentleman got back
home, and the interest on the notes he
had made from time to time began to
fall due, the adopted son refused to
take in payment the kind of money he
had loaned his protector which was
not worth very much-but demanded
principal and interest in good, hard,
yellow gold, good for It's face the world
over; and, strange to relate, the farmer
was SO infatuated with this scapegrace,
and so deluded by bis representations
about the risks be had run, and the
service he had rendered him, that his
demands were allowed; not, however,
without vigorous protests from some
of the other members of the family;
but, as the money for their payment
was coll cted a the ferries, and as their
backs had become used 10 bearing this
burden, after some grumbling they let
tie matter drop-just as tie young
giant had foreseen they would do. One
good result flowed from it, hOweverg
from that time forth Giant Monopoly
conceived great contempt for the in
tellect of the farmer and his sons, and
made no further attempt To conceal his
real size, although he still nesitated to
assume his true name or acknowledge
his lineage; but be assumed q new
name, as across the river titles were as
sumed, and, al Sir Arthur Wellesley
became the Duke of Wellington, so did
Infant Industries become Giant Enter
prise. This contempt for the family
of his adoption ultimately led to his
overthrow; for, although they were
not easily aroused, and did not take
the trouble to think for themselves
when they could avoid it, yet, when
driven to do SO, they could bring to
bear as sound judgment as his own,
and an intellect which only wanted
exercise to become as accute. But he
went on undertaking them till it was
too late to remedy his error.
