son HHfAA yesterday.
 The members of the British@ Ameri- can societies of New Haven, together with families, enjoyed a very pleasant excursion to Pawson Park yesterday. The steamer John Sylvester of New York. which was expected to carry the party to the park, did not show up and the small steamer Hildegarde was used. She made two trips, one at 9 a. m. and another at in the afternoon, being we'll filled at each trip. About 800 were included in the party. The day was spent in enjoying the amusements of the park and the various athletic games which the committee had ar ranged. At noon those who had come in the morning enjoyed the picnic din- ner, which had been brought in bas- kets and boxes. Two musicians in the pavilion furnished music throughout the day for dancing. The hall was well filled for the greater part of the time. The games were the feature of the day and aroused a large amount of interest Some of them, such as cricket, are novelty and rarely seen in the neigh borhood of New Haven. The players, although not trained as the modern athlete, showed a large amount of skill and ability and enjoyed the games to the utmost. The tug-of-war created the greatest excitement among the on- lockers and the fat mems race the most amusement. Some of the latter were very lively upon their feet for such heavy men.
 The following societies were present upon the excursion: New Haven Cale- donian club, No. 162, Red Cross lodge, Sons of St. George, Clan Mcleod No. 31. o. S. C., and Gladstone lodge No. S74, Sons of St. George.
