IN HOLLAND CoIrNTY.

Reports from Rockville say that there was a heavy frost in all parts of Holland county Wednesday night and 1t Is generally thought by farmers that the fruit crop is ruined, especially the peach crop. At Vernon ice formed on tubs of water in the barns yards, and the same in Ellington. At Ellington ground which was plowed over Wednes- day would hold man up, it being frog en so hard. Ice formed a half inch thick in some places.
 In view of the damage already done there was great apprehension regarding the weather last night. The indications were, as above stated, that another frost would be felt.

DAMAGE ID ER HIT

The exact extent of damage done to fruit trees by Wednesday nights frost cannot yet be told. Reports come from all sections of the state that fruit buds were very generally killed, and the loss will be a heavy one probably, but it is not thought that the fruit crop is en- tirely ruined.
 J. H. Hale of Glastonbury when seen yesterday took a hopeful view of the situation. He said there had been a very heavy frost and that fruit buds were pretty badly killed on low ground and damaged on high ground, He said that peaches and cherries would suffer most. The apples, he did not believe, that it would take two or three warm days to get at the extent of the loss. He added: There has been tremend- ous bloom this year-enough for a dozen crops. Even if so or 90 per cent of the blossoms have been killed, there will still be enough left for q good fruit crop, and I don't believe 1t is as bad as that I don't think over 75 per cent. of the blossoms are ruined. If what are left are at all evenly distributed the crop will be all right yet unless we get another frost tonight. People have been telephonging me all day from diff ferent part of the state saying their fruit buds were all killed and that this years crop would be a total loss, but I have been laughing at them. These re- ports are always worse than the reality, you know"

WATERBURY 19, MERIDEN F.

Waterbury, May 10.-The initial ball game of the season was played here this afternoon under such unfavorable weather conditions that good ball play ing was out of consideration, and the receipts were also considerably curtail. ed, as but scarcely more than 300 people turned out. Both pitchers were hit hard and the fielding at times was ragged, Meriden especially showing lack of practice. Weisbecker and Clay made home runs, which was an suspicious opening, as during the entire season last year there hadn't been home run made on the local grounds.
