They have been working hard since their arrival i'll Waterbury yes terday, and last night they gave an interesting six round go at the Brook. lyn Athletic club rooms that made those present open their eyes; This his morning they went down Bank street at a pretty fast clip making for their hotel, and itNis safe to say that when Patsy Sweeney steps into the fringnon Thursday night he will find Twin Sul- livan in prime conditionito meet him
 The amateurs will be in high glee on that night, for some warm contests are to take place, and as it will be a new thing for Waterbury it will be. of interest to see several old grudges paid back in good solid punches. h fact, the whole exhibition will be one one of merit and should attract big at- tendance.

 Pulling Up to Us-Reeords of the
 Players Tell the Tale Better Than
 Anything Else.
 A partial account of the game yester- gram is as follows: Waterbury was not in it for minute. They could not field, they could not run bases. They could hit a little-When Doc" let them-and the game was won. Weis- becker made a horrid mess of every thing in left field, and Murphy was cratic at short, Pete Kiernan was the same at second that he was at third. A one-handed catch by Courtney after he had misjudged ball badly was the marked feature of Waterbury's play. Manager Connor tried new pitcher, a youth named Cassidy, who blamed the umpire every time he got himself into a hole. He has slow, dinkey curves that will be killed around this league. Bridgeport went off in the lead and soon had the game well in hand. A couple came in the first on hits by Yale, Pfeninger and Dougherty. Two hits and an error gave another in the second, and some rank muffs by Weisbecker in the sun one in the third. Then they stopped until the end, when bases on balls and hits with an error or two counted for six runs in the seventh and eighth. Waterbury landed run in the second on hits and some dropped balls by Pfeninger, who had not got on | the catching game. Tn the last two ill., nings Doe" eased up bit and they tapped him for a few. Four hits in the eighth and three nice doubles in the ninth made quite a batting rally, but 1t was not dangerous, for the big pitcher only had to speed up to shut off the fun. The score is worth studying, for 1t shows that Bridgeport had another errorless game. Here it is:

the young fellows that he has not yet lost his batting eye and he went eight points above his record of last week. Luskey comes second in batting, hay ing dropped off twenty-line points last week. Weisbecker, who is third, Niso dropped away from last weeks stand ing, thirteen points being his loss. Clan cy is next, gaining three points during the week. Mccormick dropped thir- teen points from his record. Waller dropped thirty-three points behind the score of last week. Murphy went back ninety-one points. Kiernan dropped twenty-two points. Courtney went back six points. Matthews gained points. From this resume it appears that Manager Connor, Clancy and Mat thews were the only players to gain and none of the others held his own during the week.
 In fielding Manager Connor has also taken the lead, gaining two points on his record of last week. Clancy comes next having dropped nineteen points. Waller is next gaining thirteen points. Luskey is after him with a gain of six
  points. Matthews comes next gaining eleven points. Kiernan is next with a dropping of six points. Courtney fol lows him having gained eleven points. Morris is next with gain of seventy five points. Weisbecker follows with loss of twelve points. McCormick is after him with loss of three points and Murphy brings up in the rear, hay ing lost seven points. Thus 1t will be seen that Connor. Waller, Luskey, Mat thews, Courtney and Morris were the ones to gain during the week, while Clancy, Kiernan, Weisbecker, McCor- mick and Murphy fell off in fielding.
 In pitching Waller has the lead by a good margin, with Clancy next and Morris in the rear. The records are as follows:

McKINLEY's FIRST COMMISSION.
His Body to Lie in State on the Annf-
yersary of Antietam.

His Body to Lie in State on the Annf-
yersary of Antietam.
Upon the anniversary of the battle of
Antietam, in which William Mckinley dis
played the charity and peerless heroism
that ever characterized him. the representa-
tives of the nation in whose behalf he per-
formed his blended act Of kindliness and
courage, will gather to sorrow around his
bier.
In the work, Life and Distinguished Ser
vices of VIM. Mckinley" by Mrrat Hal
stead. occurs the following description of
that day:
AT the battle of Antietam on septem-
II. 1862, probably the bloodiest day Of the
war. Mckinley was commissary sergeant
in the 23d Ohio. General Hayes saws of
his services then: That battle began at
daylight. Before daylight men were In the
ranks and preparing for it, Without break
fast, without coffee, they went into the
fight, and 1T continued until after the sun
had set Early in the afternoon, naturally
enough, with the exertion required of the
men, they were famished and thirsty, and
to some extent broken in spirit. The COM
missary department of that brigade was
under Sergeant McKinleys adminstra ration
and personal supervision. From his hands
every man in the regiment was served with
hot coffee and warm meats-a thing that
had never occurred under similar circIIrn-
stances in any other army in the world
He passed under fire and delivered with his
own hands these things so essential to the
men for whom he was laboring. Coming
to Ohio and recovering from wounds
called upon Governor Tod and told him
this incident With the emphasis that dis
tinguished that great war governor he
said: Let Mckinley be promoted from SER
geant to lieutenant" And that / might not
forget. he requested me to put it upon the
roster of the regiment. which | did, and
mckinley was promoted.

Just now while the hearts of the Ameri-
can people are bowed down with grief over
the martyrdom of President Mckinley, and
his body is on its way back to the capital
which he loved so well, and by whose peo-
pie he was so much beloved. it Is not un-
fitting that thought should be given to
the future. That there will be some great
national monument to hiS SnenDry is taken
for granted. 1t is too early as yet to say
or more than suggest what form that
memorial shall take, but The Evening Star
is in receipt of letter fentaning sug-
gestion that may I'm goodJtfmS be brought
