m.1u1INGEoRD EKENTs,

There was a large attendance at the ball game Saturday afternoon between the Wallingfords and Hamdens. On the morning of July the Hamden dated nine, came up here and defeated the local team, nearly shutting them out. The Wallingfords have felt sore over the defeat and have been anxious ly awaiting a reckoning time. Satur- day 1t came, and they had their re- venge by defeating the visitors by the score of 29 to ' They might have made it worse if they had put up the game they are capable of The first inning settled the game and took away the in- terest, as the Wallingfords scored elev- en runs. Nearly every man at the bat made a safe hit and the visitors played ragged ball. After the first inning there was but little interest in the game, the visitors playing like lot of school boys and should have been shut out if the home team had half played. There was some loose playing on both sides and the Wallingfords after getting such a lead played carlessly. D, J. Kava- nagh was umpire and gave good satis- faction.

Fashion Notes From Paris.

Al this time of the year the mondaines are scattered everywhere, and, after working hard on the seaside and chateau gowns, the dressmakers are endeavoring 10 get up something sensational for the autumn. It may safely be said that the fashionable color for the autumn is to be hortensia, in dark blue violet: 1t will also be the flower. The new skirt will also continue to be fashionable; in fact, it has come to stay. This skirt, with its "volant en torme,. is too becoming to all to be cast on, one side, and is extremely elegant
 At the present moment linen, piuue. and charming costumes in white and blue. rose and white. and check linens triumph. Pretty little collars and cuffs in white batiste are invariably worn with them, and the waist is held down by a belt in doeskin, fostened with a buckle. which forms gold serpent with jeweled head. Bands are also seen in silk or taffeta to match the tie, and are tied with a small bow at the back Echarpes are almost entirely over, as they have become so very common.
 White is still the rage for dresses, coats, capes. etc. cape seen on the Rue de la aPix lately was in thick white serge. lined with pleated taffeta, and ruchs in silk muslin. The Things of some of these capes are far more elegent than the outsides The great "chic" ornamented with piuue baguettes, or cut out lounces, lined in the most vaporous manner, so as to make the whole stand out we'll, with pleated silk muslin, for instance, or small ruches placed one against the other.
 French blue is the shade favored for the hnon and tole dresses now so much in vogue, trimmed with white pique or strip ed linon.
 Belts are becoming very narrow and 1t must be admitted that the average wo- man looks better when belted by a narrow belt than by a broad one The new leather ones are no more than an inch wide, and have the Quaintest of fastenings-giant hooks and eyes being among the leading favorites for the purpose The narrow belts also aid the general scheme of slimness,
