WATERBURY GOING DOWN
Is Settling Solidly Into the Last
 Position.

Norwich Took Game From Us on the
 Home Lot Yesterday-Waterbury
 Had Five Hits and Five Errors =
 Nun Ced-Meriden was Shut Out by
 Birdgeport-New York Won Its First
 Game in a Week.
 The Waterbury team continues to lose with an ease that is simply aston ishing to the local lovers of baseball. It Is about a week since we read about a victory won by the Waterbury nlne and perhaps it will be another week unless several new men, who can bat, are signed to play in the places Of sew eral of the present aggregation. who m the opinion of many local fans. have played ball of a mediocre nature SUI ficiently long for the local nine. Let us have some men who can bat, Wno can land out a hit when it is needed. Some of the local men appear to nave even lost their ability as 1ielders. IT the men can play ball and they are not doing 1t. the proper course is to place them on the bench for a week or two without pay. If they can't play well release them. This Is rather plain talk but these are the thoughts which are passing through the minds of many fans. Ten errors in two games and twelve hits. Almost as many errors as hits. The blame cannot be laid to the pitchers for losing the games. They are pitching as good if not better than twfrIers on other teams. But they can- not win games by themselves, they must be supported by the team in the field and at the bat.
 The locals were defeated yesterday simply because they could not hit the ball when needed but they did make errors just when they were needed by the Norwich players to help them to score. After the first inning only one hit was made off Gallagher. The lat ter was in fine form. He struck out five men, gave no bases on balls and allowed but five hits. He received fine support. an excusable error by Gallagher and the letting of the ball 20 by him by Sullivan being the only misplays. Norwich made nine hits on Waller. several of which were of the scratchy order. Two errors, one or two costly. were made by the locals The waterburians scored all of their runs in the first inning on a single by Captain Fitzpatrick. a force hit by wefsbecker which were followed by singles by Luskey. Mccormick and Murphy. Weisbecker. Luskey and Me COrmick scored. Norwich scored her first run in the second inning. With one out, Doherty drove one at Waller who put out one hand and instead of stopping the ball only knocked it to one side. Thompson singled and on force hit by Gallagher, DOherty scored. In the fourth they made two more on a single and a stolen base by Sulli- van. sacrifice hit by Doherty, the missing of Thompson's long fly by Courtney. Tn the seventh Dorsey gave a fine exhibition of base running. He made a single and went all the way home on a single by Ward between cen- ter and right field. In the eighth two more were scored on an error by Mur- phy, a base on balls and a three bag ger by Thompson. Just for the spirit of the occasion, the Norwich players made on more in the ninth on fly by Dan Murphy which Setley muffied. Dan reached third before the ball was returned and came home on single by Tighe. The score:
 NORWICH.

ANnREM SINONDS.


Andrew simonds died at his home in West
Cornwall Tuesday morning of last week OF

brief services at the house, at the Baptist
church, the pastor, Rev. g. c. Lamson, offici-
ating. quartet composed OF Mrs. II. Z.
Lamson, Miss Sarah Keller, Howard Atwood
and wilson KeeleI furnished good music.
The G. \. II. post, of which Mr.. Simonds
was member, were present and assisted at
the burial of their former comrade with their
usual ceremony, which was very impressive.
The attendance upon the exercises was not
large owing largely to very heavy shower
accompanied with sharp lightning and
heavy thunder at the time of starting from the
house. Mr.. Simonds leaves a wife, who has
always been devoted to him and his interests
daughter, Mrs. Mary Matthews of Feeding
Hills, Mass, who was present with her two
children; Edward o, whose home is in
Franklin, Mass, and Elmer, who with his
family resides now with his mother. Mr..
Simonds was Il years old last March, and was
a son of Barlow Simonds, for many years a
resident of West Cornwall, but later OF Whit
ing, where he died. lie was OF retiring
nature, taking but little part in affairs of the
town and very little apparent interest, yet in
his quiet way he was always help to friend
and true to his word and the person whose
case he had espoused.
lie was n soldier in our civil war and has
received a generous pension. The bearers at
Mt the funeral were A. II. Taylor, James
Tracy, Frank Mayhue and II. c. Currier, com
rades and neighbors. The family extend
many AMI heartfelt thanks to the post, to
neighbors and all who were so kind and
thoughtful in the time of bereavement.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesday's Boston Journal.

From Wednesdays Boston Journal
The butter situation holds all the strong
features of last wees, but no further rise has
taken place. Sellers in the producing dis.
uicts seem to be satisfied with present prices
ana buyers are not anxious to make higher
bids as they are getting about all the supplies
they want and will soon be well stocked. The
indications are that the June make will hold
steady on the present bases of values, or
until the cold storage buyers begin to let up
ON their operations, when perhaps there will
be a little easier tendency. the ca sier ten.
dency, however, is subject to certain condl-
tons that cannot now be counted on with
certainty, and the safest way for small buyers
Is to secure reasonable amount of stock now

not sell for less, but admitted that the Quality
was little above the average. Under these
conditions, we suppose the market should be
quoted at 20 to 20l9 cents, with the under
standing that most of the business was al 20

The advanced prices paid in the country
have impaired a firmer tone to the cheese
market here, and the indications are that a
little higher rate viii be established here be-
fore the week is out. But buyers were not
prepared to pay any advance yesterday, and
sales OF fine Northern twins ran along on the
bases OF 80 cents. For some of the finest
new arrivals 4 to 4 cent more was asked,
and on the bases OF the ruling price in the
country 10 cents would not be more than a
fair price. Common to GOOD quality sold at
