CITY GUARDS AT TIE COVE
FIRST REUNION WITH THE YET
 BRAINS YESTERDAY.

Game-Picnios Past and to Como at
 Lighthouse Point Other Shore Notes.
 The New Haven City Gaurd and the City Guards Veteran association held their first annual reunion yesterday af- ternoon and evening at, Lighthouse Point. The showers of the early af- ternoon kept many away but those who came had most enjoyable time after the sun came out. Nearly the full roster of the active company was present, and 8 good representation of the veterans. The actives and the vet erans played O five inning ball game about o'clock, in which the actfves easily beat their predecessors in the company.
 In place of knickerbockers the play CTS rolled their trousers up to the knee The score was 19 to B. That. however, does not give an idea of the great num- Der of errors and crazy quilt plays on both sides. Frequent visits to the open air bar may have had something to do throw wild and see double whenever a ball came their way. The ground, too, was wet and the ball slippery and hard to hold. But Fatty" Stoude was almost a team In himself. If the vet erans had three or four more as good as he the score would doubtless have been reversed. Stoude stopped any thing and everything that came any where near home plate, and he threw we'll. also.
 For the actives Pitcher Ed Dupee
 twirled we'll and fooled the older war rlors repeatedly. But the feature of the game was the advice and coaching and kicking of everybody that played and
 that did not play. In fact they fired the first umpire and called in Whitlock, who gave better satisfaction because he did not want the job.
 When the game was over 1t was time for supper, which was served in the pavilion.
 | Then followed dancing after the tables had been cleared and removed. i It was intended to have games and general athletic sports, but the rain
 had delayed everything so much that that part of the programme was aban- doned. One object of the reunion, how ever, was accomplished, viz, the meet ing of old comrades in a social way and general good time all around. | The lineup of the ball teams was as
