 Mrs. Chas. N. Allen and son, Harry, have returned from their summer home at Fishers Island. Upon their arrival here, they found that during their absence attempts had been made to break into their house. The screen door was cut, as though some one had tried to unlock the door, but that falling they tried the window. They evidently had glass cut ter with them, as piece of glass had been neatly cut out and the window was unfastened. However, before leaving, MT. Allen had taken the precaution to nail the windows, and so the burglars were foiled in their attempts to get into the house.

The batteries were: Married men, Hall and Denman; single men, Shaffer and Brackett. Fol | lowing Is the score:
