AT BRANFORD POINT,
The Season Very Late and Business

The lateness of the season this year has
done great damage to shore hotel keepers.
All along the sound the, reports agree that
summer visitors are very scarce article.
Many of the hotels are losing money by
keeping open.
Among the people at Branford Point are
the following: Mr.. and Mrs. Wiswold, Miss
Wiswold and Thomas Wiswold of New
York, Mrs. Thomas Chatterton of New
York, Mr.. and Mrs. Dodge of Meriden, MI.
and Mrs. Ditritch, Mr.. Kerr of Boston,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Tuttle of Providence,
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcclure of Brooklyn, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Munson, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mention, Miss Mention of Meriden, Miss
Bleaker Of Washington, Mr.. and Mrs. Da-
vid E. Taintor of New York, Mr.. Il. II.
Ensign of New Haven, Mr.. R. G. Bouci-
cault, son of the late celebrated playwright
and actor Dion Boucicault, of New York.
Mr.. Boucicault is a general favorite among
the guests of the hotel on account of his
pleasant and courteous manner. He is en-
tirely unassuming and retiring and when
known is gentleman whose acquaintance
anyone should be proud to own.

Prosecuting Agents.

County Commissioner Jacobs said yes
terday that it was somewhat doubtful if a
special prosecuting agent would be ap-
pointed for West Haven. This county has,
he said, more than the usual number of
such agents. If we should grant an agent
for West Haven it would form a precedent
for the appointment of an agent for every
town in the county, which is unnecessary.
AS the matter stands to-day, the West Ha-
ven people, if they do not think their in
terests are being well taken care of, have
the privilege of turning evidence of liquor
violations over to any other prosecuting
agent in the county, of which there are
eight, or any grand juror of the town can
proceed. 1t is not, therefore, absolutely
essential for West Haven to have resi-
dent prosecuting agent.

stockholders Dine.

The annual dinner of the stockholders
of the Island company was held last

tendance.

were directly interested in the affairs of
the company sat down to the table. Their

THE DRummEn,s CONVENTION.

A Great Time at Branford Pofnt-A
Three Hours, Wait-Result OF the
Base Ball Game, Fat Mems Race,
Sack Race, etc. .e
The Connecticut Commercial travellers
association held its thirteenth annual re-
union at Branford Point yesterday after
noon and had splendid time of it. The
steamer Jessie B., which had been charter
ed for the occasion, was quite late and the
New Haven commercial travellers had to
wait some two hours before they
could start. Mr.. Frank G. Bushnell, the
president of the association, welcomed
each member as he arrived with hearty
grip and good word.
The excursion was accompanied by
Mayo's Banjo club, which furnished fine
music throughout the entire day.
AS soon as the party reached the Bran
ford Point house lunch was served and
immediately afterwards the athletic sports
took place. First came the ball game,
which lasted three innings and proved q
source Of great amusement to all the spec
tators. The score at the end of the third in
ming was IS to 1 in favor of the NewHaven-
Bridgeport team. The teams were made
up as follows: New Haven Bridgeport,
Osterweis, catch; WILDER, pitch; Sperry,
ton, third base; Hopkins, shortstop; G.
Darlington, left field; Booth, center field;
Kicker, right field. The Hartford team
was as follows: Blanchard, catch; Tobin,
pitch; Richardson, second base; Chamber
lain, first base; Goffe, third base; Clark,
shortstop; Perry, center field; Barnes,
right field; Smith, left field.
A record of the errors up to the end of
the first inning was kept, but at that time
the paper supplied to the official scorer
gave out and no further record was kept.
Next in order came the sack race. Five
men were entered in it, and it proved very
exciting. At the end of the fifty yards
course H. D. Kelsey showed up first and
Mr.. John Parker second. In the 100 yards
dash there was much excitement, but after
the agony was over Mr.. Miller of Bridge
port was awarded first place and
Mr.. Edward Perry second. The last
contest of the day was the
fat mems race. in which there were seven
entries. The distance was fifty yards and
at the end of it Mr.. A. S. Chamberlain,
out of breath and minus some seven
pounds of fat, more or less, staggered
ed, but was game to the end. Mr.. Edward
Tobin came in close second, fighting
every inch to the finish.
During the ball game Mr.. Triple of6ciat
ed or rather ''made bluff" as officiating
at umpiring. He was not seen after the
game and some say that he was disposed
Of by the losing team.
The shore dinner, which was served at
3:15 by Sheriff Swift of the Branford
Point house, was great success and was
fully appreciated by all. The way that
the edibles disappeared proved this. The
menu was as follows:
Roasted CLANS.
Fried Oysters.
Fried Eels.

republican American eagle, adds that the
rooster is ssalways found pretty close to the

near to the democratic affections. In Con-

fancy for roosters, but, what is strange, they

The encampment of the Connecticut

notwithstanding Controller Nicholas Staub,
who has decided that an encampment is
not really imperative, because the law
merely provides that encampments shall be
held at least once in two years.. But the
hold-over commander-in-chief maintains
that he is the judge as to the need of an
encampment in accordance with the discre-
ton apparently allowed some one in au-
thority by the statute; and the hold-over
commander-in-chief declares, by gum! that
the encampment shall be held. If neces-
sary, it is said, the hold-over treasurer will
borrow money to pay the troops and the
bills of the quartermaster-g eneral. 1t all
makes a pretty little snarl. Before No
