 of the grand midsummer fete week tions that follow one another through out the entire seven days shows that the programme for this weeks pleas ure marks a distinct era at Connecti- cuts most popular shore resort. Owing to the rain of yesterday the crowds were not large as they would otherwise have been without doubt.
 The baseball fans will be especially interested in the appearance here to- day of the Hartford team of the East ern league who will cross bats with Captain Canavan's braves, and as the New Havens are the only team in the State league to meet the Capitol City aggregation excepting the Bristols, there will be great deal of specula- tion as to how the home team will show up with the visitors, as they claim to be in faster class than the home team
 Tomorrow Orator Jim O'Rourke's aggregation from Barnum's winter quarters will be here and endeavor to win game in New Haven, they play ing two games here that day. The Bridgeports always paly to win and as there is a goodly lot of rooters that accompany the team there is likely to be something doing every minute.
