| seavtew Which Filled All Vacancies
 and Was Thoroughly Enjoyable
 Some of Those Present.
 Mines composed of the Meriden police
 and the New Haven police played their
 second ball game at the Savin Rock
 grounds yesterday afternoon. After
 the full number of innings the score
 stood + to il in favor of the visitors.
 Some unkind fellow, who very likely doesn't know a thing about the points
 of the game, said after it was all over
 that the home team lost in the seventh,
 when one of it's most distinguished
 players fumbled balloon and let in 1 three runs.
 However this may be, and probably | it's malicious lie, the simple fact re- l mains that Meriden won. And, then, as l if to do the very proper thing, the New | Haven men "blew off, the conquerors to a fine dinner at the Seaview, and Landlord Cameron didn't do a thing but make it just right. It is safe to say that he never had so many 200
 pounders to feed in group, all at l once, and so it is right to remark that
 he succeeded in doing it.
 The racket started at o'clock. There
 was riot in the grand stand for two hours thereafter, but the police were strangely indifferent Favorites were picked early in the game, and their followers gave them the glad hand whenever they got a chance. This was the lineup:
 New Haven-Doherty ss (captain),
 Carey p, Hayes c, Lautenbach 3b, Con- nolley If, Dunn 2b, Dorman of, Daughan If, Eagan lib.
 Meriden-Cook c, Ives p. Dopahue lib
 (captain) Thayer 2b. Doran ss, Sweet Sb, Demo If, Reno of, Spencer If.
 This Is the score by innings:
 Meriden .. ..2 ? 0 1 3 5 0 3-17 New Haven 9 0 ? 0 0 0-11
 The umpire was Mike" Doherty, a state league dispute arbitrator, and the fact that he was alive late last night seems to indicate that he knows his business He got through the rumpus very creditably,
 When the game ended there was big "hurrah, boys" and then the march to the Hotel Seaview was at once formed In line, for the players were dy- ing of thirst. and the rest of the crowd was starving to death. At the Seaview there seemed to be about one chair for every 400 pounds, which made division of favor more a matter of push than persuasion. But they didn't fool Land lord Cameron after the first rush. He got tables and chairs up IS if by magic, and in jiffy everybody was happy. It was a feast for hungry men, start ing with everything one could wish for and ending in even better shape.
 There was crowd of about 200 at the spread, and it was thoroughly enjoyed. The toastmaster was Police Commis- sioner Corey and he was most efficient and capable. Some of the others pres ent, many of whom responded to toasts, were Superintendent Wrinn Judge Bishop, Chief Van Nostrand of Meriden, Commissioner Booth of Meriden, Judge Dow, City Attorney Fay of Meriden, Attorney Danaher of Meriden, Commits sioner Quinn of Hartford, Commission CTS Lawton, Wheeler and Manning of New Haven, Commissioners Bicknell, King and Machanger of Meriden, Major Blakeslee of New Haven, ex-Commis- sioner Lee, Captain Cowles of the de- tective bureau, Uncle Dan Gilhuly, and whole lot more. It was a jolly party.
 Taken altogether the occa sion was a great success, and in large measure this is due to the efforts of those having the in charge. They were: | Manager Frye for New Haven and Manager Burke for Meriden; in charge 1 of the supper and reception, Detective l Frye, Sergeant McGrath, Sergeant Da- | ley, Sergeant Williams, and Patrolman 1 Ward.
