A JOLLY DAY

For the Connecticut Commercial
Travellers, AssociatIon-Their Four
tenth Annual Outing at Pleasure
Beach Near Bridgeport.
Yesterday was hot, but Connectiout's |
travellers are not to be discour- |
aged by little heat, but quite unmindful
Of it, as over $50 of them gathered at
Pleasure Beach, near Bridgeport, from the
different parts of the state for their four
tenth annual midsummer outing and din
nsr.
They left the depot dock at Bridgeport at
about 1915 on the steamer Lenoir and af-
ter . short ride arrived at the beach. Here
there was q strong breeze blowing in from
the sound, which in measure mitigated
the intense heat of the day. As each man
stepped from the boat he was presented
with a neat little paper grip" the emblem
of the commercial man. They each bore
the following legend:
A day of rest, day Of pleasure;
Trade is forgot, it's our day Of leisure;
Well join hands, drive care away and make it a
dead sure winner.
On their arrival at the beach the crowd
broke up into little groups and strolled
around the island, and 1t was not until
Jerome & Mays Banjo club broke the
silence that the amusement began. They
RECALLED the ears Of the happy ''drummers"
with "Clementine, ""Little Annie Rooney"
"Comrades," and several other of the lat
est improved airs with variations, until the
travellers began to look about them for
escape.
Presently Frank Bushnell's burly form
was seen towering above his associates,
and the mandate escaped from the presi-
dents lips that the ball game would not
occur until later in the day, and he further
recommended that those who intended to
enter the boat race In the afternoon should
go out in the sun and practice. This was
hailed with q shout of approval, and all
hands rejoieed like Ajaxes and other ath-
letes of old, only the sun was little too
hot for great exertion in record breaking.
The greater part of them, therefore, re-
manned stationary, immensely enjoying the
bright rays of sunshine in which the island
was bathed.
The three-legged race was very amusing,
some of the contestants falling headlong
in the sand. The prize was won by F. E..
Beecher and N. P. Lynch. The referee
was George Comstock.
There were seven entries for the sack
race and much excitement prevailed. At
ter surmountinR numerous obstacles Ed
ward Tobin was pronounced the winner.
w. S. Meyers refereed and he was not
killed.
Thus it was nearly o'clock before the
ball game came off between Bridgeport and
''The World" and quite a crowd of their
friends and visitors to the beach gathered
about to waech the sport. The two mines
were composed of the following men:
Bridgeport team-Beeeher @, Mansfield p,
Cochrane SO, Stage 1b, Whipple 2b. Chat
man 3b, Hurlburt If, Rogers CT, Trubee IF.
1.-THE World"-Adler p, Keller G, Miller
Id, Trott 2b, Hopkins 3b. Trip ss, lob
bin IF, Lynch CT, Myers If. Four innings
were played, resulting in score of 5 and
in favor of Bridgeport, thus finally deoid-
ing her undoubted superiority to "The
World" 1.-THE World" happened in this
| instance to be represented almost entirely
by New Haven men. Bridgeport made
three runs in the first inning and two in
| the second. 1.-THE World" made one run
| in the third inning and one in the fourth
At $3.50 o'clock the travellers sat down tc
| an excellent ehore dinner served in the pa.
vilion "Algazsr." Here the time was
| whiled away by toasts to each others
health and the telling of funny stories
Jerome & Nays banjo orchestra here also
furnished music which the jubilsnt com
mercial men accompanied by solos, duets
and quartettes executed on their plates
| and glasses with fork.
