Race Boat Allison, Which Went Ashore
 at Watch Hill
 The thirty foot race boat Allison, Cap tain S. W. Cook, bound from Onset, Mass, to Gravesend, l.. l., near the Narrows, arrived in port last evening. The boat filled with water, being an open boat, and went ashore last Friday at a. m. at Watch Hill during very heavy southeaster. She was sent ashore to save her. On board were Captain Cook of Taunton, Mass, and Charles Ramsdell of Orient, L. I. They consider that it was very fortunate they were not caught in the gale in the night as in that case the results would have been disastrous. As it was they were succored by the crew of the life saving station and they feel very grateful to them. The life savers got the boat off and without damage. The Allison goes to Gravesend to be delivered there to her new owner, Louis Boury. The boat started from Onset last Friday.
 The sloop yacht Ariel, thirty-seven feet long, of New Haven, went ashore in the same gale four miles below where the Allison went ashore. She was haul ed off by a tug. On board were Lincoln Robbins and Alfred Robbins of Nor wood, Mass, and Burke Smith and liar old Bradley of the New York Yacht club. The Ariel arrived here Sunday.

 Bridgeport scored a run in the sixth inning, this being the only one up to the final inning.

Hall, Bannon and Cornell reached first, but Hall was thrown out at third. Ramon scored the first run on Braun's pretty single and Captain Canavan scored Cornell with high fly to Hi Ladd. The big fielder couldn't shut off Cornell at the plate, although the attempt was good one.
