him to his grave he begged to be al

they tied him down in chair ant
blindfolded him. Then ID of th'
CoIdstream Guards stood 10 pace

it was sickening sight. He INNS
have been brave man; he did no
finch or turn pale. They burie'
him, as be was and broke up tn
chair upon which he had sat, throw

When it is further added that til

-a,1NEY ISLAND

The traveller from abroad is as anxious to see Coney Island as he is to gaze upon Niagara. The westerner from the prairie plains, the southerner from the cotton fields, the down-easter from the forests, all when they visit New York go to Coney Island first. and then ask to be shown some of the other sights. And they are right for nowhere in the wide world is there more to see in a given territory than at Coney Island, the peoples favorite festival of fun and frolic Without doubt one of the greatest amusement enterprises is the Gravity Steeple- chase Race Course, one of the biggest winners ever known in popularity. It combines the fun of the merry-go- round, the excitement of the chutes and added to the charms of both, the zest of a genuine race appealing to the sporting blood that flows i'll greater or less quantities in the blood of every man, woman and child A ride on the horses is n healthful stlmulant that stirs the heart and clears the brain. It straightens out wrinkles and irons out puckers, cares and worries are for gotten, the dashing pleasures of the moment is all in all. The above is only one of the many attractions of the isl- and that the people of Waterbury will have an opportunity of seeing if they go on the annual excursion of St Jo- seph's T. A. society, Saturday, August 9. The fare being within the reach of all; round trip. $1.50, children under F years, $1.00. This trip is by rail to Bridgeport and then beautiful sail on the iron steamboat Sirius to Coney Island, stopping both going and cong ing at 31st street, New York. Tickets will be limited to the seating capacity of train, therefore it will be we'll to se- cure yours early from any member of the society or at the club house on East M8in street.

WITH THE AMATEURS.
The City League Will Have No Field
 Day on August 2.

There was a meeting of the City league held last night at the rooms of the St Joseph's society and little busi- ness was transacted. In the first place 1t was decided that inasmuch as the Washington Hills had made arrange ments to hold field day on August 7 at the Driving park, the league would give up their date and allow the Hills to have an open field.
 There was considerable conversation regarding several postponed games and It was decided to get them out of the way as quickly us possible. Some of them will be played tomorrow and the schedule is as follows: At Riverside park, Brooklyn A. c. ys St Thomas Cadets; at Waterville, St Josephs vs Jetfersons; at the Driving park, Pas times vs the Washington Hills.
 Saturday, August 16, will be the next field day of the league, and 1t is pro- posed to have two corking good games on that date. The managers of the J Hersons and the Pastimes have yir- tually agreed to get together and play ofr that postponed game on which there was so much money. Efforts are being made to get the Brooklyn A. 0. and the St Josephs together on the same day. Manager Madden says he cannot get his full team out, but if he could he would not be afraid to face any team on that date. Manager Me- Kennerney wants to wager a big purse that the St Josephs can defeat the Brooklyns on that day, and there the matter rests
 There was some talk of having the Saturday games be exhibition ones, but It was the general opinion that the best plan would be to have them count in the standing.
 The buttons are selling rapidly and those who have not purchased them can find them with any of the man. agers. The people who witness the Sunday games should take this method of helping out the boys in the City league. Each team goes to considera- ble expense and this is the means they have of paying up. The buttons only cost p cents and you will never miss one quarter while many of them will be wonderful help to the league.
 At a meeting of the Glover base ball club last night T. Kenney was signed for left field and T. Hayes for right field. They will succeed Nolan and Lahey who have been released.
 The schedule of games in the Great CT Waterbury base ball league for to- morrow will be as follows: Sunshine !. A. c. vs Big Seven, Waterville, 12 s o'clock; Acmes vs Lafayettes, River side park, 10.3O; Moonlight A. c. ys Fifth Wards, Riverside park, 10:30; Merrimac A. c. vs Oakville, two games seven innings each, Driving park, 10:30

Every fighter res ceived the money coming to him and there was not hitch. The club lost $15 GOO on the deal. There is no doubt if the coronation ceremonies had been held the affair would have been big financial success as well. The cluly wanted to postpone the carnival untik the king got well, but advised theml to go ahead. Most of the Americau pugilists who went abroad, with the exception of Walcott, Armstrong; Ruhlin and Denver Ed Martin, have res turned.

 The Springfield Union gives this ac- count of the game yesterday:
 For the first five innings the game between Springfield and Waterbury at Hampden park yesterday was as pret- ty contest as any fan would care to see. Thomas was right on his mettle and was pitching great ball. In these five innings he had struck out six men and had let only one walk. One good single into right field was the sum to- tai of Waterbury's batting.
 But Thomas was not the only one who was pitching good ball, for Gilli- gan was pushing him hard for first honors. This is only the second game Gilligan had pitched for Waterbury. and he was anxious to make a good showing. He, too, had only been touched up for one hit, and he was making the .batsmen fan the air to some extent. having four strikeouts to his credit
 The Waterburys were playing like a first division team and the fans were interested. The visitors had made the only run up to this time, and that was made on combination of errors by the Ponies. This one run began to look big as the game progressed.
 The Brassies, however, could not hold the pace and in the sixth, dou- ble bagger and close decision in fal vor of Springfield started them on the run. Not much damage was done. however. until the following inning. and then the visitors went to pieces for fair.
 Slater had all kinds of trouble at first base picking up the ball, and con- tributed a couple of errors which proved costly. Four hits were punched right here and they came at she right time, for punched with stolen base. four errors, wild pitch and a passed ball they netted five runs.
 The Brassies played like another team and not like the aggregation which had set so fast a pace previous iy. The team went to pieces at a single bound and lost the game.
 The loose playing of the visitors ap- parently affected the Ponies some. what for they began to get careless and made several errors. one of which proved costly. Thomas was also touched up for several hits, and as two of them were punched in the seventh and three in the eighth, three runs were scored.
 Henry was in center field for the Ponies. and he is certainly an improve ment over Kennedy. He has good throwing arm and is a fast man on bases. He hit the ball hard and gained his base twice through errors. althoughIone5of the balls from his bat was close to being hit. The score:
