 night men will put in their bids. Members of Woolsey lodge, Knights of Honor, have until October 1 to de- eide whether they will remain in what is known as the level assessment rate or the step rate. New and higher rates
 were adopted at the recent meeting of the supreme lodge. The assessments for the older members are quite high and some will drop out of the order. The reassessment, it is claimed, will put the order on a firm and enduring basis. It has been claimed that the in- surance in this order has been carried too cheaply, and that now it has been necessary to make radical advance in assessments. Woolsey lodge was for merly very strong lodge, but in recent years has decreased materially in mem- bership.
 There was an attendance of about 900 at the Savin Rock grounds Saturday to witness a sharp game of baseball be- tween the Fair Haven East Sides and the St. Johns. The play was broken off in the thirteenth inning much to the disappointment of the spectators, as the teams were forced to give up the diamond to the Milfords and the pro- fessionals at 4 o'clock. It is believed that the rivals would have fought for twenty innings. The score was to 3. ! There was much regret that the game , could not have been played to finish.
