that he would have kept the hits and cr-

side that he could not more than keep the
runs correctly. and the Scholz men even
charge him with not doing that much
right.
Bruce Hunt will perhaps make "a sue

umpire. The game resulted in "a victory
for Bitterman' : team; the score at the
end OF the ninth stood 81 TO 20 in their
favor

Lee Family Reunion.


The Hartford and other Connecticut
papers give an extended account of a
|reun of the Lee family recently held
at r II nington, nine miles from Hart
ford, in which our townsman, Leonard
Lee, and his son, Rev. F. t. Lee, of
Chicago, took prominent parts. The
former has been diligently at work for
the year past, with headquarters at
Meriden, Conn, in compiling and edit
ing material for an extended genealog-
ical book of the family which is to go
to press in the fall. No one has shown
more interest in gathering together the
historical facts of the family than he,
and no one was more honored at the
reunion.
The family records are traced back
to John Lee, who came to this country
from Essex county, England, in 1854,
and settled finally in Pennington,
which was the family homestead for
several generations. Here he died in
1890. His descendants are now scat
tered all over the United States and
Canada. The reunion was held in the
town hall, which is opposite the old
Congregational church, a structure
which is 125 years old, and which is on
the site of the original church built by
the earliest settlers, and which John
Lee attended. The exercises of the re-
union continued two days and included
visit to the old cemetery where he
was buried. A handsome monument
of Scotch granite was erected over his
last resting place few years since, re-
placing the original rudely chiseled
stone, which is preserved by its side.
Representatives were present from a
number of states west of New England
and few from the south and from
Canada. The principal address was
delivered by Rev. F. T. Lee, who was
also the presiding officer of the occa-
sion. Concerning this address the
MeFiden Record says:
" Rev. Mr.. Lee spoke on Character
istic Traits of the Lee Family In this
address he gave very interesting and
comprehensive resume of active parts
which those bearing the Lee name
have borne in public, professional,
commercial and private life. So COM
pletely did the Chicago clergyman
cover his subject that fully an hour
was consumed in its delivery, yet he
held the closest attention of all to the
last. As a literary production, Mr..
Lees address was almost classic in
elegance of construction, while it's de-
livery was both eloquent and graceful. !"
Among the letters read from those
who were unable to attend was an in
teresting one from Rev. Lucius O. Lee,
of Marash, Turkey, where, it will be
remembered, occurred one of the great
massacres of Armenian christians a few
months since.
