 About 800 members of the Telephone Employees Mutual Benefit society of Connecticut from different parts of the state attended the annual outing and field day of that organization at sayin Rock yesterday. From early in the Emorning till late at night any number of members could have been seen strolEng along in different parts of the grove and also in the White City en- toying themselves by singing rag time songs and playing all sorts of pranks.
 About ii o'clock in the morning the Hartford and the New Haven hines
 entered the ball grounds and the long Iawaited game was started, much to the pleasure of the many anxious speota- tors. Both teams played fast ball, con-
 sidering the little practice they have
 had. Many sensational plays called
 forth cheers from the grand stand, The score was close all through the
 game, but Hartford came out With the
 long end of the score by winning 10 to
 g. The pitching of Thompson for the local team was excellent, but he could
 get no one to hold his pitching, and
 this helped the scoring of the Hart
 ford team to a great extent. After the
 game all hands had a shore dinner al lWilcox's, As the association dId no' , pay for the dinners this year on ac- Icount of the trouble which was caus- ed last year, each member pald Iol their own dinner,

 other amusements. Prizes were award
