 Outing Appointed.
 The second annual outing and clam bake of the ouinnipiae association was held yesterday at Pawson Park and was n most signal success. over 300 were present and enjoyed themselves from start to finish. or in the words of one of the party "There was not a duii moment from the time the party began to arrive at Belle dock until they reached it on the return trip" It was Indeed an ideal outing and thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
 Promptly at 10:S0 o'clock the steamer Margaret left Belle dock with 4oo politicians on board. among whom were il number of invited guests from Mer1- den. After the boat had started 1t was ascertained that Police Commissioner Gilhuly had been left on the dock and the boat was put back after him. He was received on board to the music ot ''The Girl I Left Behind Me-" whistled by the entire crowd. This was the only unpleasant incident of the day.
 After a pleasant sail of about an hour Pawson Park was reached and all but about fifty of the excursionists went ashore. Those who remained on the boat were treated to an hours sail among the islands. As soon as the park was reached the baseball game between the town and city officials of Meriden and New Haven was begun and finally after two hours hard work resulted in a victory for the New Haven offi- ,ials by a score of 10 to 5. The local players helded well and batted like demons. Their Meriden antagonists also put up an excellent game. but were clearly outclassed. The features of the game were the battery work of Me Hugh and Flynn for the local team and the batting of St. Clair, Doughan and Joseph McHugh, also of the local team.
 The rest of the day was spent in ath- letic contests, pitching quoits, football. and several friendly contests for points in a twenty-foot ring. Among the con- testants were Town Agent Garrity, Flu gene McKenna and James keleher. These contests formed no unimportant feature of the day and were especially interesting in consequence of the lack of science displayed by the contestants. There was also a tug-of-war contest between Meriden and New Haven, re- sulting in @ draw.
 The principal feature of the afternoon was 8 contest for points between two we'll known colored pugilists. The con- testants were Jack Dawson of NewYork and Thomas Blake of Hartford. The contest was to have consisted of six rounds of two minutes each, but after the third round Blake was winded and was unable to come to the scratch. In order not to disappoint the crowd Jake Moore, a local colored lightweight, vol unteered to finish out the contest, but he proved no match for Dawson, who won without any exertion. Billy Doughan, acted as referee at the con test, Thomas 'Khloy as timekeeper, and Thomas Fitzsimmons and Charles Con- boy as seconds. The contest was very tame and decidedly uninteresting.
 Promptly at 5:30 o'clock the bake was served and 1t was a good one. It was intended to have it ready at 8 o'clock, but the plans went awry and the bake was in consequence delayed. In the meantime the appetites of the mem- bers of the association had become con- siderably whetted by the keen and bracing air and they were all in the better condition to do full justice to the repast. The tables were set in the grove and all had as much to eat as they could possibly get away with.
 The outing was decidedly successful and reflected much credit upon the committee who were in charge of the arrangements. The sail home passed without any incident of moment, and the party reached the city safe and sound at 7:45 o'clock, we'll pleased with the Quinnipiac association and the sec ond annual outing.
 The ball teams were made up as fol- lows: New Haven-Flynn c, John Mo- Hugh p, Carey lib, Doughan 2b, Joseph McfIugh ss, Fitzgerald 3b, O'Neil Of, Legrand If, St. Clair If.
