of the time. Captain Daly of the citizens dress, called Rority down for his work and incidentally called Rority red head. Rority's hair is as bright as the breast of Virginia scarlet, one of the prettiest of south ern birds, but he objected to a ball player making remarks about his hair and ruddy complexion, although a New Haven paper called him Roar ing Red Rority.
 Rority told Daly to cut1it out, but the Hartford manager kept on and Rority fined him $5 In the seventh inning the umpire ordered Daly of the field. Then Martin Walsh made a few remarks on the subject and he was fined $5 and ordered of the field. After Fallon had struck out in the ninth he walked up to Rority and said he would see him after the game outside. That cost the Hartford fielder five and he was also ordered off the field. It was fortunate that the game was so nearly over or there would not have been Hartford player left.
 The Hartford management will make protest to Chief Kennedy about Rority on the ground that he is incompetent. This is the hrsI time this season that a player has been fined by an umpire. McKenney succeeded Walsh iH the third and pitched good game up to the eighth, when Norwich made three runs and won out. The score:

ADELAIDE. June 9.-The mystery of the
disappearance of Captain Charles 8. Pear
son. q London pilot has been cleared up
by his unexpected arrival at Adelaide in the
Italian ship Genista
Captain Pearson had remarkable ex-
perience. He left the English Downs on
Christmas day, intending to pilot the Gen.
ista as far as the Lizard. On the following
day terrific gale sprang up. compelling
the vessel to keep away from the coast.
For nearly three weeks he beat about at
sea, ana never sighted land until well down
the French coast Then another great gale
occurred forcing the Genista to continue
her voyage round the cape without touch
ing any convenient port for Captain Pear
son to land.
No opportunity occurred either for the
captain to board homeward- bound ship,
SO he was carried. an unwilling passenger,
a journey OF 10000 miles to Adelaide.
Captain Pearson Ii returning home at
the expense OF the owners OF the Genista.
Ho had similar experience eleven years
ago, when he was involuntarily carried
nearly to the equator On that occasion,
however. he was transferred to q home
ward-bound vessel. and reached London
safely. after his friends had given him up
as lost.
