THE BASE BALL WORLD.

President Munson of the Amuse-
ment Company Resigns Doran
will Pitch In T0-Day,s Game
Against Troy.
Yesterday rain, for the first time this
season on the local grounds, prevented the
playing of regularly scheduled cham
pionship game. Troy was to have played,
but owing to the heavy rain the game was
postponed until later in the season. This
afternoon, should the weather prove pro-
pitious the last game until July will be
played in this city between the New Ha-
ven and Troy teams. 1t is expected that
the famous "south paw" twirler, Jack
Doran, will oficiate for the local team,
while the popular ''Snap" Lang will hustle
up the infeld from his position at short
stop. John Henry, who played with the
local team the first part Of the season, will
catch flies in the right garden for the WIS.,
itors.
Harvey S. Munson, tho president of the
New Haven Amusement company, has re-
signed his position as president and has
been succeeded by Vice President Curtiss,
who will in connection with Manager Burn
ham, take active charge of the team and
run it throughout the balance of the sea-
son. Mr.. Munson will retain his stock in
the company and only retires from the &C
tive business management. The reason
for Mr.. Munson's resignation is stated to
be duo to desire to be relieved of the
responsibilities which the presidency en-
tailed. 1t had taken a good deal of his
time, and the annoyance and criticism to
which he had been subjected had contrib
uted in no small measure to bring about
his resignation. Between the patrons of
the game and the players themselves the
Office had been made a burden, and he
finally concluded that his time could be
much moro proftably spent in his BUSH
ness.

Adjutant William Campbell,
Fell During the Invasion Of
New Haven, July 5, 1779.
plo~ro1 oro tho Moroif,,I

The portion of land containing the
grave of Campbell will be donated by
Miss Mary E. Alling, and the heirs of the
Prudden estate will give plot about one
hundred feet square adjoining. The mon
ument is to be placed on the Prudden
knoll where it will overlook the city and
harbor, and will be seen from the Milford
road. It will be but few rods from the
place where Campbell fell MORALLY
wounded.
This spot, made historic by the incident
it commentaries, is the first scene of a
revolutionary conflict in New Haven to
receive attention, and this movement is
largely due to the efforts of our citizens Of
English and Scotch birth who feel an affec-
tionate interest for the fame of their hu-
name countryman.
Already a suggestion has been made to
erect a monument at West bridge, where
the NewHaven militia successfully opposed
the invaders and obliged them to enter the
town by way of Westville, and it is expect
ed that the project will be speedily carried
into effect. Such enterprises will be of
great educational value and will do credit
to city that has been open to the charge
hitherto of being sadly lacking in
public spirit of this kind. The Historical
society is taking great interest in these
matters aud is doing everything possible
to arouse public sentiment in their favor.
There should be monument in Westville,
where the New Hayeners threw up earth
works and opposed the British advance,
and another at Broadway, where pitched
battle was fought.
the land, together with the Campbell
monument, is to be presented to the New
Haven Colony Historical society on the
Fourth of July next, and the following lit
erary program has been arranged for the
| occasion:
Prayer-President Dwight of Yale university.

BRIDGEPORT, June 17.-When to-day's
session of the civil superior court began at
10 o'clock every seat in the court room was
filed. The reason for the unusually large
gathering was the announcement that

grant an immediate hearing in the matter,
and this it was understood, was just what
the democrats wanted. At 4:30 o'clock

ney John J. Phelan, who will be associated
with Attorney Wheeler in conducting the
case, entered the court room and after ad-
dressing Judge Thayer for q few minutes

SENIOR Pow-wow.
The Faculty Not In It.

AAAS -
Last night was the time which had been
yet for the a'Senior Pow-wow,n and 81
fairly outdid herself The mud caused by |
the rain of the afternoon had not dried |
and so made the dancing characteristic to |
the occasion impossible. A little after Z |
O'Clock the senior class formed in front of
Durfee, the class flag was brought out and
it was given to Tucker-Tenney, the tallest
man in the class, being absent. Then the
procession, under Bunce as master of cere-
monies and Childs as drum major, and
headed by drum corps, moved down in
front of Alumni hall, Dwight hall and the
libraries, cheering them as they passed,
then down Chapel street to Osborn hall,
still cheering, not forgetting the old fence
which 81 was the last class to receive,
turning inside Lawrence and Farnam back
to tho hall. Here the class reformed and
turned down College street to pay their re-
spects to Prexy Dwight, who was not
at home. Not at all discouraged they
pressed onward down Grove street
andsup Hillhouse avenue to cheer
e1-President Porter who said a few words
in acknowledgement. Then the line of
march was taken back to Trumbun and
down to Professor Wheeler's, where they
were again met with the announcement
mot in" So wheeling right about they
started back up Trumbull, cheering Pro
lessor Dana, ST., on the way. Over the
railroad bridge they went, down Prospect,
up Grove, and into York tocal for Pro-
lessor Richards where they heard the by
this time old, old story. With hope still
living, the line kept on down York to
oLoo, Gov noon WRIGHT and ha not in
the game either. So back to the campus
they went, using George and High as
avenues of escape. Here with a few cheers
and calls for fire the class dispersed.
This is the first of the exercises immedi-
ate1y preceding commencement.
