ANOTHER VICTORY.

VIEWPOINTS BEAT THE "CREsCENTS. "
 But for the heavy shower that just preceded the game, preventing what would otherwise have been different score, and larger attendance, the game, as scheduled, between the "Crescents" of Waterbury and the NewtOwn ball team was called at o'clock. The result was another vic- tory for the Newtown team, and not withStanding the wet grounds and ball very close and exciting game fol- lowed. Warner and Wright were the battery for Newtown during the first six innings, owing to the unavoidable delay of c. Bishop in reaching the grounds, and for the last three innings, Warner and c. Bishop and Fitzma u- rice and Lyons for the Crescents. Tn e score at the beginning of the seventh NewtOwn, but in the seventh inning the Newtowns steadily forged ahead, until the final score stood 10 to in favor of Newtown. Warner pitched only II balls in the ninth inning, and struck out three men, a remarkably brilliant piece of work. and rarely equalled. except in professional ball playing. He struck out 10 men during the game, and his opponent four. | Wright and Bishop both caught a good game. Timothy McMahon, former Sandy Hook boy, played third base for the Crescents, and worked hard to win but all to no use. This makes the fifth consecutive victory for Newtown.
 Saturday there will be no game or the home grounds, as the Newtowns play the Woodburys, in Woodbury; on that day.
 1 For Saturday, August IT, the man ager is trying to arrange game or the home grounds, with the Sacred Heart ball team of Bridgeport, which next to the Graphophones, are consid cred the strongest amateur team il Bridgeport.
 If game is arranged, the Newtown will have to play the game of theil l lives to Win

A Boys Composition On Water.

Water is found everywhere, ospeci-
ally when it rains, as it did the other
day, when our cellar was half full.
Jane had to wear her fathers boots to
get onions for dinner. Onions make
your eyes water, and so does horse
radish when you eat too much. There
are a good many kinds of water in the
world-rain water, soda water, holy
water and brine. Water is used for a
good many things. Sailors use water
to go to sea on. Water is good
thing to fire at boys with squirt gun
and to catch fish in. My father caught
big one the other day and when be
pulled it out it was an eel. Nobody
could be saved from drowning if there
wasn't any water to pull them out OF
Water is first-rate to put fires out
with. | love to go to the FIRE and see
the men work at the engines. This
is all / can think of about water
except the flood.

1t was only year ago that the
country was shocked by the awful
story Of the destruction of Galveston.
Today the city has not only recovered
what was lost-except in life; that,
alas! can never be recovered, but is
actually more prosperous than it was
before the hurricane. It's total cotton
receipts for the year have been more
than two million two hundred thous-
and bales as compared with one mil
lion eight hundred Thousand during
the preceding year; it's bank clear
ings increased twenty millions, AMI
its coastwise and foreign exports TWEEN
ty-seven millions. This is II wonder
ful resurrection, and no characteristic
of it is mora welcome than the news
that the people are as much alive to
their dangers as to their opportunities
and are determined to make such II
disaster as that Of last year impossible
OF repetition by the construction Ct a
great sea- wall.
