"LADlES' NIGHT" BANQUET

OF THE MEMS CLUB.-A LARGE AUDI. ENCE PROMIsED.-MINE HOST LEON. ARD WILL STAND WE'LL BY HIS REP UTATION AND ROBERT BURNS SWEET
 LAY WILL BE REVIVED.
 The responses to the committed $ card of invitation for the "Ladies' Night" banquet of the Mems club at the NeWtoWn Inn on July 15 are con- ing in rapidly. Of course, mingled in the flow of brief missives, there is a prominent showing of regrets but enough acceptances have thus far been received to point which way the tide is setting and to indicate large audi ence of culture and eminence in the af- fairs of the town on Wednesday even- ing next. The speaker, J. A. Marr, is a rising young lawyer of Bridgeport, who has already won fair place by his efforts in the lecture line. No poet has sung a sweeter lay than Robert Burns, no lyrics have more appealed to the popular heart; and MT Marr's handling of so delightful a theme, speaking as he does without notes, will no doubt charm his auditors. The re- ceptiOn rendered MT Marr will be held in the parlors of the hotel from 8 to g o'clock, and seats will be taken at the tableslpromptly at g. Those who have not yet made reply to the committee before Monday evening, July 13. On this evening the committee are to meet at the Congregational parsonage, and as far as possible the seats of guests will then be arranged at the ta- bles. Rev Otis w. Barker, Allison P. Smith and Prof Charles s. Platt have this social event in charge.

THE BALL GAME.
NEwTOWNs AGAINST SKELETONS.
Telephone 7zo-4.

The baseball season was opened, in Newtown, on last Saturday, when the strong Shelton team and the regular NewtOwn team crossed bats. In the first inning the Sheltons scored five runs, and in the latter half of the same inning the Newtowns scored three runs. Both pitchers then settled down and for the next eight innings as good a game as one would wish to see re- suited. NewtOwn scored but two runs for the rest of the game, while Shelton scored but one run, which was enough to give them the game by the score of to ,. Newtown's opportunity to win was spoiled in the sixth inning, when with a man on third base and one on second and no one out, Shelton execut- ed quick double play. With such games as that of July served up Manager Terrill's team will, without doubt, receive the well merited support they started in with. Callahan's s catching and Keating's batting were the features of the game. The New town team lined up as follows: Cal lahan, c; Coughlin, p; Haugh, 1st b: Warner, 2d b; John Lynch, Jr., S; Streinfus, 3b; Keating, l f; Schuyler, c f; Brannigan, f; Carlson 1st sub.
 The game, this week Saturday, will be with the strong Merrimac team of Waterbury. Last year the score be- tween the Merrimacs and Newtowns was ! to 6 in favor of Newtown, and this years game will be another hot one. Let us hope that the citizens and summer boarders will turn out in good numbers to cheer the boys along.
