THE SANDY HOOKS DEFEATED THE sU' PERBA TEAM OF BRIDGEPORT BY THE SCORE OF 16-13.
 Those who were present at the Fair grounds. last Saturday, saw the most exciting game of baseball played here this season. Burns proved to be an easy mark for the visitors. He was taken out in the fifth inning and Warner finished pitching the game and did nice work. Wright covered first for five innings iD first class shape. He was then put be- hind the bat, owing to Gallagher's sore hand, where he also acquitted himself with credit. McMahon covered lots of ground at short and did it in professional style. The feature of the game was the home run made by Warner. He drove the ball to the race track in left field and before Hugh could return the ball he had made the circuit of the bases. For the visitors J. Cuddy caught about as nice game of ball as anybody would wish to zee. He captured two very high feul flies after hard runs. E. Mullins at second and Coughlin at short played snappy game. Lillis at first played a neat game; also Corey and McMahon. The score:

A FINE TIME IN PROSPECT AT SARATOGAs
 Few people are aware that Saratoga spends from $75,O0O to $100,000 each year on it's Grand Floral Fete and that private individuals pay out as high as $500 each for their carriage decorations in the parade at that time. Such, how ever, is fact, and the last tour of the Recreation Tourist Company will leave September 3, so that all can visit this most interesting scene. With grand Floral balls, brilliant illuminations, spectacular fireworks and fantastic pa. rades, Saratoga gives itself up for
 week of pleasure rivalling the Madri Gras days of New Orleans. Tickets and full information at the office of c. B. Taylor, local ticket agent, N. Y. N. H. & H. R.

sTILLMAN BUSINESS COLLEGE.
SUCCESSFUL INSTITUTION IS NOW ENTER
 ING ON ITS EIGHTH YEAR.

The Stillman Business College Is just entering into the eighth year of it's ex- istence. Successful from the start, 1t has had prosperous career and has de- veloped into highly successful insti- tuition which is credit to the city as we'll as to it's preceptor, MT Stillman.
 Last year was the best, in point of at- tendance and results, that the college has ever had. Although the school year will not commence until September l, the school is open for the preliminary term, which lasts through August. Judging from the number of pupils who are taking this preliminary course, the coming year will:b more successful than last the present attendance is nearly three times that of August of last year.
 If the number of pupils increases as much during the coming term as it did during the last, 1t will be necessary to increase the seating capacity az was done last winter. Over one hundred pup ils were in attendance at the school Ia St win ter.
 When 1t Is stated that over half the bookkeepers now filling lucrative po- sitions in this city are graduates of this institution, some idea of the value of the business course may be gathered. An other course which has met with much success is the civil service course. Since it was inaugurated, large number of young people have been prepared for civil service examinations of various kinds and each one of them has been successful in passing. Several of them secured appointments.
 One desirable feature of the school work is the absence of entrance exami' nations and the fact that there are nc classes. The pupil who enters the school Is taken ss he is, having no standard te
