the sole object i'll view of hitting the
ball from the shoulder as hard as
could, without any idea as to what part
of tho field it would go or on the
ground or i'll the air. All 1 thought of
was to knock it out of the lot, us the
boys say. But L soon found that there
was something more in batting than
that. L think 1 got my first idea of
what batting should be from defending
my wicket i'll cricket when we went tc
England on that baseball tour in 1874
AT any rate, l got into the habit of try

at random, and from that time real
lied that to try to tap the ball to right
field over the heads of the infielders
and short of the catching reach of the
outfelders was about the right caper.
The new method of handling the
bat, remember, came to mo all of a
sudden l had been for some months
batting very poorly while hitting from
tho shoulder, base hit being the result

bat, because 1 hit SO as to bat them
round toward home. Then it was that

Good-Sized Audience at Harmonic Hall
Mr.. Max Treumann, the Soloist
The young orchestral society, yclept
'Loxias,' of which Mr. William e.
Haesche is the organizer and conduc-
tor, gave their second concert at Har-
monte hall last evening. The audience
was very fair considering how inclem-
emit the weather was. The program was
nicely chosen and none but standard
works were performed. This fact de-
notes creditable intention for serious
study, and although it is too early in
the history of the society to expect a
perfect performance, commendation is
due for considerable progress since the
first concert. There is no little ability
at present displayed on the part of
some of the members, and careful re-
hearsing and conscientious individual
practice should make the "Loxias" a
highly profitable and pleasurable insti-
tuition. Mr. Haesche is a, man of talent
and his labors in this direction will I'M
doubtedly rebound to his credit
Mr.. Max Treumann was the soloist
of the evening. Mr.. Treumann has an
enviable reputation as a vocal teacher
of merit, but is too seldom heard n
public. His numbers last evening were
sung with very lovely quality of voice
and great assurance and style. The
Rubenstein songs were particularly
artistic. Mr.. Treunann was more or
less hampered by his accomplishments
and by the shifting atmosphere of the
hall. 1t is to be hoped that Mr. Treu-
mann will be heard here again very
soon.
The order of the program was slight
ly altered to permit Mr.. |aumann to
catch the $40 train for New York.
The program last evening was as fol-
lows:

More Connecticut Trolley Parallels,

A bill which has just passed the Mas

the Enfield and Longmeadow company
to extend its tracks to Springfield,
Mass, is likely to supply another long
contest between steam and the trolley
in this state. The road is undoubtedly
planned with the idea of an extension
to meet it to be built by the Springfield

would be a clase parallel of the New
