Rev. MT. Watkins, Departure.

Yesterdays Norwalk Gazette says: Rev. MT. and Mrs. Watkins, child and maid left on the 10:11 express for New York yesterday morning. The party was &C., companied by MT. Watkins close friend, MT. R. Fletcher Rogers. of New York, who, after MT. Watkins illness, in order that he might be near him, came up here, and with his wife succeeded in obtaining board with the Chichesters' at the Judge Butler place on West avenue. MT. Wat kins stood the journey as we'll ss could have been expected in his weakened con- dition. He had one slight sinking turn on the cars, but only of short duration, and he fully recovered before reaching the residence of Mrs. Paige.
 MT. Watkins departure was made none too soon, ss his own desire to see and shake hands with all his parishioners and hosts of friends was more than his ex- hausted nerves could endure with safety. With absolute rest and quiet, his phy- sician, Dr. Gregory, who has been un- remitting in his attentions upon his suffer- ing patient, feels confident that his restor- ation in due time to his former health and strength will be certain.

 ''Is it hot enough for youa'
 That enquiry started fight yesterday, and to those who were forced to do any thing but recline in the shade of an ice box belligerency was a natural feeling. Summer started in vigorously yesterday.
 The weather yesterday was the hottest so far this year. What is coming we do not know. At9 o'clock yesterday morn ing walking was fairly comfortable, but the perfectly cloudless sky and . very good-hearted looking sun gave promise of a very warm day.
 As noon advanced the mercury edged up and by o'clock in the aft moon it had reached as high as 90 degrees in the shade. About o'clock southwest breeze sprang up and was rather strong for about ten minutes A light hot breeze continued to blow the rest of the afternoon.
 Along the docks beautiful breeze was blowing in fir om off the water, but few people walked down to get it. In the evening the clouds began to gather and it looked showsry and was somewhat cooler, but the ice cream restaurants and soda fountains were well surrounded by pa irons. Z 4s-.

LOST IN THE TWELFTH.

New Haven Again Whitewashed by | the Providence Grays-An Exciting Contest-Hoxv the only Run of the
 Game Was made-Both FOurnfer
 and Sullivan Pitch Fine Ball.
 It took twelve innings to decide the game between Providence and New Haven at the Howard avenue grounds yesterday afternoon, and at the close of the contest the score was to in favor of the visit ors. It was the second coat of whitewash administered to the local club by Burn hams "Pets." Only six hundred wit messed the exciting struggle, but those who stayed away missed the game of their life. They probably will never have the opportunity to see such battle again. For eleven innings both clubs fought hard to score, but very sharp playing pre- vented any run-getting. In the last half of the twelfth Farrar, the first man up.got his first on balls. Hornung tried to sscri- flee, but instead the hit developed into 8 single and Farrar was safe on second: :: Leighton also attempted to sacrifice, and as Fournier failed to cover first when Flanagan stopped the hit Leighton was safe on first and Fsrrsr and Hornung on third and second respectively. No one out and the bases fulll A hit meant the loss of the game for New Haven. Smith was the next batter and he hit a sharp one to Cross. The lively shortstop threw to Wells and Farrar was out. Wells threw to Flanagan and Smith died. While this double play was being executed Hor- nung, by great headwork, made a break for the plate and succeeded in reaching it safely before Flanagan could recover himself and return the ball to Wells. Thus the game was won after two men had been re- tired. It was by far the best game of the season. Both Fournier and Sullivan han. dled themselves remarkably well, New Ha. ven's twirler having trife the best of it.
 Shannon was left on second and third, and once he was cut off at the plate. The features of the game were the batting o
 Shannon, Donnelly, Blansfield and Horn
 ung and the brilliant fielding of botl | clubs.

The planters of the Great South bay, Long Island, did large ly increased business, although many of them claim loss of from $500 to 5000.

There were 109, $50 barrels shipped to Europe, this being il, ,00O bar rels in excess of last years output. Among this shipment were 34, 900 barrels of the famous Blue Points.

THE ORGAN WAS FRACTIoUs

Organ Recital Postponed.
 The organ recital at Battell chapel last evening came to 6 sudden and unexpected close. MT. Harry Jepson, the organist, had scarcely commenced to play the open ing number when one of the pedal notes started off on it's own account. Dr.Stoeckel, who was present, attempted to shut off the diacordant element, but all to no pur- pose. It was finally announced that the recital would be postponed until some evening next week, probably Monday, of which due notice will be given. The au- dienoe, which was an unusually select and appreciative one, retired very reluctantly and much disappointment was expressed. The reason assigned for the organ's thus failing to perform it's duty is that the change from damp to hot weather for the past few days warped the keyboard.
