NAUGATUCK NUGGETS.

NaugaIuck acre, NO otV, ila'Sii
Order of Eagles, was held yesterday
in Osborn's glen. 1t was the Dlgges'
kind of a success. About 100 Eagles
We're present. Besides the members
of the press it was exclusively an
Eagle affair. The bake was prepared
by Michael Ford and this fact alone
should be sufficient to satisfy one that
the bake was all it should be. There
was everything that makes a hrst-
class clambake in plenty and every
thing was of the best that could be OBJ
tanned, put up and served in q clean
and tempting manner. The weather,
too. although it looked threatening,
was ideal, and when the merry Eagles
broke up a more well filled, contented
and jolly crowd never returned from
a clambake. The best of order pre-
vailed at the glen and no children were
allowed near the premises. 1t was
grand success in every particular. In
the sports that took place at the al
fair the married men, contrary to ali
expectations, carried off nearly all the
honors. The base ball game between
the benedicts and single men should
go down in history, for it is doubtfu
if more umpires were used in any
game since the good purely American
game was first played. The battery
for the single men were Callahan and
| Carey, and for the married men Foley
and Jones. 1t would require too much
| space to name the umpires. The three
! legged race was also won by the mar
ried men, the single mems team being
: left far behind. In the tug-of-war be
it said for the honor and glory of the
single men that with the assistance of
| Dick Altman, who had sort of patent
pulley block around tree capable OF
about forty horse power, that the mar
ried men We're worsted. Tim DAILY, the
| we'll known lunch man of Union City,
captured the fat mems race for the
married men. Tom Dalton, on whom
all the hopes of the single men were
fastened in this event, was disqualified
at the last moment. One of the most
exciting q races of the day was the
100 yards dash between John Carroll
and W. Ashmore. Carroll won with
ease. The rivalry between the mar
ried and single men was very intense.
but the best of good feeling prevailed
and all the events passed off without
a hitch, owing to the remarkable dis
play of diplomatic powers on the part
of John P. Hogan for the married men
and Dick Altman for the single men.
Altogether the first annual bake Of the
Naugatuck aerie, f. o. E., was most
enjoyable affair and will be long re-
membered by those who partoOk of
the excellent spread and enjoyed the
days pleasures.
