What is Going on at Connecticut's Cone, Island.
 The first annual excursion of Wes Haven lodge No. 59. A. o. U. w., will b, held on Tuesday. August 14. the part, going to Glen Island.
 | The final baseball game between tht Malley, Nicely & Co. and the Ewen Me 1ntrye & Co. hines in the Dry Good. league series will be contested at tho Rock this afternoon at 3:30. Clifford M. Calverley, the famous higf wire performer. who is engaged to ap pear at Savin Rock afternoons and eve nings all next week, is wonderful mar in more senses than one.
 In the first place, MT. Calverleys per. sonality differs widely from the ordi. nary rope walker. He is most gen. tlemanly young fellow, belongs to a good Canadian family, and possibly would never have taken to his present business but for the, fact that a couple Of years ago he, as a mere matter ol fun, tried to walk rope which hae been suspended in a garden at the back of his residence in Toronto, Canada. H, found right away that he was capable of performing all the feats of the ordi- nary rope walker. and decided to cross Niagara on three-quarter inch cable This he did on October 12, 1892. The press was unanimous in declaring that young Calverley, who was then only twenty-two years old, was the greates. wire walker who had ever lived. In July last year he gave a series of exhibitions over the Niagara rapids and on the night of July 4th he eclipsed anything that had ever been done by crossing the gorge in the dark. Last September while he was prepar. ing for a performance at the interstat: fair in Trenton, N. J., two men rar. against one of his pole guys and he was shaken, falling ninety eight feet and sustaining terrible injuries. Both legs and both arms were broken. He la1 between life and death for ten days and the doctors declared that it would be impossible for him to ever perform again. s'.''
 But Calverley proved of what stuff he was made when on the 24th of May this year he again appeared on his wire and he is a better man than he ever was, his performances being truly won derful. B.
