ECI PLAY A TIE.

The Eclectics played tie game with
 the Madisons Saturday, the score at
 the end of the eighth inning being 4
 to 4. The Madisons had to leave to catch a train so the game could not be played out Despite the fact that the Eclectics had number of old college players they were unable to come out ahead, though the Madisons presented the weakest team that they have ever placed in the field against the New Haven team. The Eclectics made seven errors, most of which were on easy chances and twelve of their bat ters struck out, Milburn pitched only a fair game for the Madisons, but had the Eclectics completely at his mercy with neck high ball. It is not probable that another game will be played be- tween the two teams. Thompson, the Eclectics' catcher, played the best game for either team He found Mill burn for three hits. The batteries were. for Madison, Milburn and Birely: for the Eclectics, 'Sedgewick and Thomp- son

| Well Known Waterbury School Teach CT Saves Girl From Drowning.
 Miss Nora l.. Mahaney of 1909 Bank street, teacher In the Merriman school, and daughter of Alderman
 Daniel J. Mahaney, was the heroine of
 an exciting incident at Walnut Beach
 vest erday. Miss Mahaney entered the
 Sound View pier to go in bathing when
 her attention was called to a 10-year-
 old girl named Condon, who was all
 ready in the water. The little one was
 quite distance from the shore and
 was separated from the other bathers.
 Suddenly it was noticed that she seemed to be in distress and when she
 was seen to sink for the first time it dawned upon the watchers that the little girl had gone out beyond her depth and was in imnlineut peril. Miss Mahaney, fortunately, had discovered the girls predicament first and she lost no time in thinking what she should do. She is an expert swimmer and without moments hesitation she dived into the water and struck out for the girl. Miss Mahaney's clothing interfered with her swimming considerably, but she soon reached the little one who was going down for the last time, and grasping her in her arms swan back to shore, where the child was revived. Miss Mahaney received the congratu- lations of the crowd which had been attracted. Residents of Walnut Beach are said to have already taken steps to present Miss Mahaney with a medal for her heroism.

HAVE RAISED 1t 2 MONEY.
Herculean Task of the Y. M. c. A. Has
 Been Accomplished.

1 The great herculean task the Y. M. c A. members set out for themselves ir
 collecting the necessary $25,0O0 to save
 the much needed rink property has | been accomplished and there is conse"
 quent rejoicing over the event. This fund was needed to secure the condi-
 tional pledge of F. Bancroft Foote of New York. This pledge was for 25,00O.
 The canvass for the building fund of the association has been a remarka ble one in many ways, and the most re- markable is the fact that practically every dollar of the $250000 subscribed has been given by the citizens of New Haven. Another feature and regret table one is that $550OO more has been lost during the canvass, by failure to win conditional pledges
 The rink will be converted into a gymnasium for the news boys and other poor boys of the city, but the above sum will not furnish the build- ing. The Women's Auxiliary has $1,500 already for this purpose and during the winter an endeavor will be made to ma terially increase this sum.
 The work of securing subscriptions for the erection of the new Y. M. c. A. building was begun by Secretary Lotze in November, 1899. On the 18th day of that month he secured $40,000 condi- tional pledge. The conditions were that the association should secure three s25,0OO pledges before January 20, 1900, also that they should have total of S175,000 before June 1, 1900.
 The association fulfilled the latter condition but failed to receive the three large pledges and thereby lost $40,000. A short time afterward they also lost q $15,000 conditional pledge. After this loss the canvass ceased for a short time during which the plans for the new building were being drawn up.
 Less than one year ago, or to be ex- act on November 20, 1900, ground was broken for the new structure on Temple street and the work has continued with vigor ever since. At that time the canvass was again taken up,
 On March 1, 1901, E. Bancroft Foote gave conditional pledge of $25,000. The condition which the association was required to fulfill was that before Sep tember, 1901, the association should have received a. total of $250,000 and last night saw the fulfillment of this condi- ton.

CONNECTICUT EAGLES.
Two of Them Industriously Robbing
 FIshhawks Down the River.

At the Taylor estate near the Connec- ticut River at Cobalt pair of bald headed eagles nested this summer and reared their young. Any day they may be seen flying about and MT. Taylor has given positive instructions that the birds be not molested in any way. Eagles may be noble appearing birds, but they are simply robbers in gath ering their food. This can be testified to by those who have watched the eagles systematically rob the fishhawks of their rightful prey this summer. The eagles keep their eye peeled as the fishhawk plunges after the fish. Then after 1t has arisen from the water the birds that are supposed to represent freedom and liberty, overhaul the hawk, frightening 1t so that in the ma jority of cases it drops it fish, which is eagerly caught by the eagles.

THE CONCERT IN MADISON.

MT. and Mrs. Ericsson Bushnell Enter tained Large Audience Saturday Evening.
 The concert given by Mir. and Mrs. Ericsson Bushnell in Memorial hall, Madison, Saturday evening was one of the most successful social events of the season at that place. The pretty hall was filled with people and all greatly enjoyed the excellent pro- gramme. MT. and Mrs. Bushnell were frequently encored for their fine work. The concert was given for the benefit of the Madison Golf club, and judging from the large attendance a snug sum must have been raised for that worthy institution. The club has been largely patronized this summer, and never before has the game been so popular in that well known resort. The result of the concert Is very gratify- ing to the directors of the club.

The latter live on Canal street and for some time there had been ill feeling between Driscoll and the Reillys.
 Driscoll turned back to see what the Reillys meant by their conduct and then there was a battle. Timothy pitched into Driscoll, and few min- utes later James joined in and there was a battle royal. The Reillys were placed under arrest, charged with as- sault

POPE SENT MESSAGE IN ENGLISH

Hartford, Aug. 31.-An event of no inconsiderable importance was the fact that a cablegram from the pope to the Catholic Total Abstinence union con- vention, recently held at Hartford, was in English. This is the first time that Rome has consented to use that lan- guage for official or semi official docu- ments, and it is regarded as a remark able tribute to the growing esteem in which the Catholic church in America is held by Leo XIII.

STATE LEAGUE STANDING.
BRISTOL TO-DAY.

The Bristols will be the Labor day at- traction at Savin Rock this afternoon. This morning the Blues will play in Bristol. If the leaders loose both games to-day their chances for the pen- nant will be about even with Bridge port, whereas If they defeat the New Ravens in both contests it is very probable. that they will land the covet- ed flag. The playing of the Bristols has been very cratic within the past two weeks and 1t would not be big surprise to see New Haven take both games.
