braged Last Evening-A Valuable
Presentation.
Last evening Chief Hendrick was sur
prised most agreeably by party of

in the city hall to pay their respects to him
and tender their congratulations. The event
was in celebration of the twenty-ffth ami
versary of his efficient service as chief of the

must have been proud one, from all the
justly complimentary things that were said.
The party was introduced by Fire Marshal
Kenndy, who briefly explained their purpose
in coming. There were present of the fire
commissioners O. 81. Farnsm, president, and
Commissioner Redmond.
President Farnam made some remarks in
review of the twenty five years of Chief
Hendricks term of, Office, and was highly
complimentary in his praises of the great
strides in advance that had been taken In the
department since that time. To day, he
said, we have a fire department that
isunequalled by that of any Of the
6uhll0T Cltl6H III Uuo COuutTy, dIu OnAy
equalled by few of the larger ones. As a
FIRE commissioner cannot allow the oppor-
tunity to escape of commencing the high
moral character and efficiency of the men in
the service. At the conclusion of his re.
marks Mr.. Farnam made q presentation to
the chief of a handsome diamond stud valued
at SITS, as testimonial of the affection and
esteem of the department.
Chief Hendriok received the token and re-
piled in words showing considerable emotion.
This is, he said, very pleasant occasion for
me to be congratulated in this manner. The
words that have been uttered by the presi-
dent are very flattering. His concluding
words were given in the expression of graft
tude he felt for the kindness shown him by
the department on this, as we'll as many
other occasions. I thank you, he said, from
the bottom of my heart for this beautiful
little token, and will accept it, not so much
for its intrinsic worth as what it represents.
After the chief finished speaking there
followed general conversation and general
social time. The others present were the
following: Captain Doherty of steamer No.

Scores OF the other Games.
Sharp fielding and timely stick-work by
Newark's ball players won closely contested
ten-inning game at the Howard avenue
grounds yesterday afternoon. New Haven

Schoeneck in the third inning, which gave
Smith an opportunity to score, and through
an inability to find Miller's curves at oppor-
tune points Of the game.
Two phenomenal catches of difficult fly
balls were literally applauded. One was by
Doyle in the first inning. He pulled down a
fly from McDermott's bat which seemed safe
for one base. Lally gathered in short fly
hit by Miller in the seventh inning
after running about to the second bag for It.
A pretty doubly play in the fourth inning by
McDermott, Smith and Fields was
also greeted with applause. Lynch
was on first base. Pettee raped
hot one to McDermott, who
threw to Smith, cutting Lynch off at
Pettee had reached the bag.
The game was sharp one throughout, save
the wild throw of Mckee, which allowed
Smith to score, and another bad throw by
Doyle, which gave Mansell two bases. The
first half of the first inning was finished in
two and one-half minutes. -Four balls were
pitched and the first three Newark men were
retired.
Gilliland did excellent work in the box.
Although he was hit safely seven times with
total of nine bases he induced ten of the
visitors to fan the air.
Newark's first run was made by Smith in
the third inning upon a base on balls and
McKee's wild throw. New Haven tied the
score in the seventh. Pettee hit safely, stole
second, took third on passed ball and
crossed the plate on Schoeneck's hit.
In the tenth inning Newark scored the
winning run, which was earned. Smith led
off with two, dagger and came home upon g
like hit by Gilbert.
