Hartford Baseball League.

The officers OF the Bel Air base ball club
chartered a special train last Saturday after
noon to convey the club and as many rooters
a could 90 to Delta to witness the contest
with the club OF that place. The trip to this
little Pennsylvania town was indeed all that
could have been desired. as the Railroad Com.
pany placed every convenience at the disposal
of those who made the journey. This treat
ment was far from that which was accorded
the club and its guests by the alleged
residents OF Delta who happened to be present
on the ball field to witness the game. From
the beginning Of the first inning until the
ninth the Bel Airians were subjected to all
sorts of treatment that would 60 to make
life miserable, and at one point Of the game,
when defeat was apparently staring the home
| team in the face, thsis supporters rushed pell-
nell on the ball field over q decision made by
the umpire which they thought was wrong
and for time small riot was imminent. 1t
was as much as tbs small band of Bel Air
| loyalists could do to maintain their rights and
ground, but they made a bold stand and pre-
| sentsd strond front, which alone prevented
| any serious trouble and possible injuries be-
falling anyone. The Delta contingent kept
| up perpetual bowling from the start and
made the game far from being interesting. 1t
was by far the worse crowd the Bel Air boys
have struck during the season.
Not to be daQnted by such treatment, the
Bel Air team put up good game of ball at
| times, while at other times they seemed to
lOse heart and IN Uira nm thu no n, q he
| costly errors and failing to bat the ball for
| keeps. The first inning opened very auspici-
ously for our boys as they piled up six runs
on good safe drives, but after this, attempts 10
land on the ball for keeps seemed to fail, CON
| sequently but one run was made afterwards,
while Delta kept banging away at the ball
| inning after inning and aided by errors,
managed to pull the game from the fire.
Richardson and Weber, the battery for Bel
| Air, did good work and with proper support
| would have probably won the game, notuith-
standing the constant TRADE of words that
| we're directed towards the pitcher with the
vain hope Of rafting him. Rouse at short
and Carroll in right field played good ball for
Bel Air, their good fielding cutting OFF many
runs. Good batting WAS also INDUCED in but
| the ball seemed to fall just where a felder
was stationed and it was taken in easily.
The Delta team put up good article OF
ball, batting and fielding with a vim, while
their running bases was also a noticeable feat
ure. After the first inning Morris pitched
good ball and kept the hits of his opponent,
well scattered.

for $11, 600 was rendered in the Hartford coun-

bond and the defendant asked for an iDjunc-

The ground upon which the injunction was
prayed was all alleged secret agreement be-

evidence that an endeavor was made to induce
O'Boy to tell anything but the truth, or that

Reports from different parts of the county
tell of an almost blighting drouth. Rain is
badly needed, and the light fall of rain during
the past few weeks have done little or no
good. The pastures are falling, and all crops
appear to be completely at stand. The to-
mato crop, upon which so much depends, can
not but suffer, and even corn, which usually
is better able than anything else TO stand dry
weather, begins to show its effects. The nor
NAL rainfall for twenty years past has been
l.s5 inches for the first IL days of July. This
year It has been .OS inches. The average for
June for twenty years has been 402 inches,
but the record for 1898 shows only / Of inches.
The roads are becoming SO dusty that travel
ling becomes irksome, springs are decreasing
and streams are getting to their lowest level.

Washington Letter.

From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, July lit must have been
noticoi by all obserVant readers of war news
that the victories scheduled in advance have
invariably failed to be pulled of on schedule
time, and that our greatest victories, such as
the destruction of the Spanish fleets at Santiago
and at Manila, have not been handicapped by
advance n tees. This was especially true of
the Santiago affair. That the postponements
in taking that town were caused by orders re-
sulting from Spanish trickery is more than
probable, although it is constantly-too con-
stantly in fact-reiterated by those attached
to the administration, that Mr.. Mckinley has
issued no orders about the movement on Santi-
ago, since it was begun, except that Instructing
Gen. ShalIeG nat to accept the surrender of the
Spaniards except Internationally. The Span
iards across the Atlantic are trying TO create
the impression that they are on the eve of sue-'
ing for peace. and they are succeeding, too,
with some persons high in authority, and there
by hangs some of the delays which have so ag-
gravated those who believed that the quickest
way to secure peace was to lick the Spaniards
as fast as we could get at them.
Although that bluff about sending feet to
Spain has accomplished its purpose and turned
Camara's fleet back towards home, 1t is still be-
ing kept up, ana tue departure Oh the Meet

To give Thanks.

Cardinal Gibbons has prepared circular to
be read in the Catholic churches on Sunday
morning which is intended to carry out Fresi-
dent McKinley's suggestion that the people
of the land unite in giving thanks for the
victory of the American fleet of Santiago.
The Cardinals letter calls upon the people
to return thanks to Almighty God for His
blessing upon the arms Of this land in the
conflict with the Spanish fleet, for the victory
achieved and for the escape of the Americans
with comparatively no loss.
The circular further asks that prayers be
said for an early and bloodless end to the
war.
The Cardinal also directs in his letter that
certain prayers be said BY the clergy at this
service for the blessings OF God.
