 It was the second regiment in the state to respond to President Lincoln s call for 3OO,000 troops, July 1, 1862. Its earliest enlistments were made in Mer- iden July 10, and it went into camp on the grounds of the Hallock estate at Oyster Point, At that time but few houses were in that locality. Hon. Dexter R. Wright of Meriden, after wards of New Haven, was its colonel. Of the original field and staff officers but two are living-Adjutant F. C.. Rand of Meriden and Surgeon Edward o. Cowles of New York city. Of it's ten first captains only two survive Captain John D. Wheeler of Company and Captain Frank M. Lovejoy of Company I. From a hundred to hun dred and fifty comrades are wont to gather annually and it is expected this number will be exceeded to-day.
 It can be said in passing that this regimental association is one of the most up-to-date in the state. It has its monument at New Berne, N. C., and it's history was published in 1893. It has also a corps of local officers who know how to make it's reunions Ego" with snap and vigor.

 The lively and artistic sketch Man agerial Troubles" played by Miss Ida lene Cotton and Nick Young, is an es- tablished success, and many are com ing to see Miss Cottons highly clever impersonations. Lafayette, too, is making a big hit on the bill with a novel act full of new things. Nothing of his, however, pleases all auditors so well as the imitation of Sousa directing his band. This unique and striking imitation is the recipient of salvo of encores at every appearance. Others on the bill are Silvern and Emerie, a. superb 1ying-ring act; Adel- man and Lowe, xylophonists of Gill mores band; Stine and Evans, Swain and Bombard, Klein and Clifton, and a new set of war views on the electro scope

I1GHTHOUsE POINT.

The weather topic rises several de- grees in interest, and as the caloric in oreases in the air we are compelled to move around and have our being in. Just now it's incorporate behavior is arousing scientific attention in Europe and this country, but discussions of the thin, superheated structure in which we are living just now finally end in the confession by the weatherwise that the "meteorologists know nothing as to the remote cause of the extreme heat" This is not even "cold comfort" Whether the temperature roast" would be any less burdensome with mastery of knowledge as to the causes of high temperature seems doubtful, but there is no room for doubt as to the wisdom of escaping all of this extreme heat that you can if you would preserve health. The indications are for continued hot weather for several days ahead, long distance prophets extending it into next week.
 But burdensome as yesterday was in the city, large crowds of careful, intel ligent persons kept entirely comforta- ble at Lighthouse Point and Mans fields Grove, where there was fine cooling breeze direct from the water all day long. Those people doubtless slept soundly last night and rose refresh ed to wrestle with another hot day to- day--only they will wisely refuse to wrestle with it, remembering that "he who fights and runs away will live to fight another day"
 To-day they will again journey joy fully to Lighthouse Point and enjoy themselves as before. Besides the re- lief from dangerous heat, there is at the Point most excellent vaudeville entertainment every afternoon and eve ming free, the interesting zoo with the continuous circus performance of it's Simian family, the tropical birds, etc., etc.

The crowd at Elm City park saw
 another ten inning game yesterday,
 this time between New Haven and New
 London. Neither team could hit the ball, but New Haven played a better
 game in the field. Pfenninger was the
 only offender In making errors and
 none of them resulted in runs. Parent played another beautiful game at short. Puhl at third played pretty game but fell down on some easy chances. Lynch also had his troubles in picking up grounders. New Haven could not hit Lynch, two of their three hits being scratch bunts.
 In the second Lynch threw Pfennin- gers grounder wildly to first, he going to third on the misplay. Luchia flied out to center. Dietrich drove another into center which appeared to be safe, but Kineny pulled it down with his right hand making the prettiest catch of the day. Before he could regain his balance and return the ball, Pfennin- ger had scored. Wiley went to third on PuhPs poor throw of his grounder, but was left there. In the third Vol lendorf was safe on Puhl's error, was advanced on Parents sacrifice and O'Brien's safe bunt. Hickory muffed the throw to catch him at the plate
 on Duffy's grounder Duffy was caught in trying to reach second and Prennin- ger went out from third to first.
 In the sixth Volelndorf lost control for a time and New London scored twice. Puhl drew base on balls and scored on Conroy's two bagger. Ken nedy went out from Pfenninger to Wi ley and Conroy was caught trying to steal third. Lamar singled. Hickey got base on balls and Drew knocked out a double, Lamar scoring.
