CARTER WEARS THE BADGE
And Is Highly Complimented by Lieu
Bowen of the U. S. A.


Bowen of the U. S. A.
Sixteen privates of Co A took part in
the competitive drill held last night to
determine who should wear the solid
gold badge presented by the officers of
the company in 1887, to be competed for
annually by the members and to
be worn by the member show
ing the greatest proficiency in
drill and discipline. ID. L. Daniels,
who won the badge a year ago,
did not compete last night. The judges
were Lieut. Bowen of the U. s. A,
Major L. F. Burpee, and Captain
commenced with company movements
under Lieut. Moses, followed by Skin
mish drill under Captain Stocking.
The men then went through a rigid
ordeal in guard duty and ut the close of
this part of the competition seven were
dropped. The men then executed the
manual of arms under Lieut. G. w. Bur-
pee in what the initiated thought
faultless style, but three more were
dropped by the judges. The six left
again went through the manual and as
a result Privates Barton, Carter, Mcneil
and Miller were left to face the music.
The four contestants were sent to the
company room and one brought out at a
time and again put on guard duty. AS
| result of this trial two more of the
soldiers were retired, narrowing the
contest down to Privates Carter and
Mcneil. They were put through the
manual of arms once more after which
the company was called into line, when
it was announced that Private Carter
had won the badge. In presenting the
badge Lieut. Bowen said that Privates
Carter and Mcneil had executed the
best individual drill he had ever wit
messed

Manager Bright of the Cuban Giants
Wants the Earth.
An all afternoon session of the di-
rectors of the State base ball league was
held in Hartford, yesterday, most of
the time being spent IN trying to ar
range a schedule for the season. They
finally agreed to play under the old
schedule until July l.
The secretary was ordered to appoint
official umplres at once and as sign them
to games. He was also instructed to
apply for protection under the national
agreement.
A letter was received from Manager
Bright of the Cuban Giants stating that
the Giants would only play in Ansonia
on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays;
that they would not play under the
present schedule, and finally that they
will play no more games in Waterbury
unless they receive n guarantee of $40,
with privilege of forty per cent of the
receipts. President Lang was in
structed to notify Manager Bright that
adopted by the league he was at liberty
to withdraw. In the event of the
Cubans dropping out'the Gorhams stand
ready to fill the vacancy, making their
headquarters in Winsted.
Under the adopted schedule the Wa
terburys will play games as follows:
AT home-May 10. Bristol; May %,
Norwich; May &c, Bristol; May 80, am,
Meriden: May 30, a. m. West Haven;
June ?, Hartford: June 10, Southington;
June ID, New Britain; June II, Bristol;
June 23, Norwich; June "a, Portland;
June 81, West Haven; June 80, Ansonia.
Abroad-May 20, Bristol; May 81,
Norwich; May %. Hartford; May 81,
Portland; May %, Ansonia: May 80,
Hartford; June B, Meriden; June 4,
Hartford; June 6, Hartford; June 8,
Ansonia; June IL, Bristol; June IS,
Norwich; June 10, Ansonia; June 90,
Norwich; June %, Bristol.
There is loud call in Chicago for
Tommy Burns to resume his place at
third base. Dahlen is a good fielder and
more than an average batter, but he
lacks the head work and brainy playing
so characteristic of Burns.
"Fatty" Childs and Davis of the Cleve-
lands are two of the league sensations
of the season, and Walter Brodie is not
Ear behind. The association has Tommy
Dowd, Jimmy Canavan, Cahill, young
Gilbert and Egan as bright stars well
worth seeing.
A Cleveland writer says of Alvord's
playing on Thursday: Since Capt
Tebeau was hurt Alvord has been play
ing third base for Cleveland. He will
play no more at this time. To morrow
morning, bright and early, he will go
on the bench, or else out into the wide,
wide world, with an unconditional re-
lease. His two errors to-day gave the
Philadelphias all of their 10 large and
beautiful runs. All by himself. Alvord
cut a tremendous figure.
The New Britains have released Kidd,
the Wesleyan pitcher, to reduce ex-
penses.

An Advertisement In the Democrat Is
Answered.
Another instance that goes to prove
the value of advertising in general and
the DEMOCRAT in particular came to our
notice, yesterday. w. j. Snow, the
florist, received an order from a resident
of Milwaukee, Wis, for cut flowers to be
delivered to a Waterbury lady. His
correspondent informed Mr. Snow that
he had seen his advertisement in the
DEMOCRAT. The money to pay for the
flowers was enclosed. The moral is
obvious.
