THE DERBY-MERIDEN SERIES.
Derby, Sept 22.--The cold weather
prevailing this afternoon was the only
preventive for Derby's enthusiasm
bubbling over at the outcome of their
game on the home grounds in the Nut
meg cup series. The attendance was
about equal to that in Meriden yester-
day, and those who attended found
the game warm enough. 1t was ball
playing from the start to the close. and
in agreeable con- rast to many games
played here in the league series, there
was not the slightest attempt at wrang-
ling.
Clements was in the box for Meriden
for two innings and after the angels"
had made seven runs he was taken out
and Donovan substituted with good re-
suits. Kileen pitched an excellent game
for Derby and but eight hits were made
off him. He was well supported
throughout the entire game. Lawlor
again distinguished himself to-day by
catching ball almost off the right field
fence, which prevented two-bagger.
The outfield work of both teams was
brilliant. Denny, Thiesen and Court
ney each made home run. The score:
Derby ........4 8 0 0 2 0 *-10-11-0
Meriden ......0 3 0 0 0 0 1 o. e. S-6 !

WASHINGTON. March 5.-The capital

parade as that which escorted Prcsi-

men that stepped along or bestrode the
splendid steeds that danced and reared
their way in the parade.
There was no long-drawn-out mass
