 After an interval of five minutes play was again resumed by Dalgeish of New Haven kicking off with the wind. Tn, ball went over the line and a dispute arose as to which side had the throw in, The question was decided by tht referee throwing the ball up. At thi' point a little bad feeling crept il amongst the players of both sides which made the game all the swiftel and more interesting to the spectators The referee, however had his men vel under control, and no trouble arose from this fact. Here lMcNeil, who hat been doing somewhat cratic work, anC who had missed the ball three or fou times in succession was jollied by the crowd. And every time the ball cam near him the crowd cheered and laudej him on. However, McNeil evidently had good, steady Scotch disposition and took everything in good part. He a coming man-is McNeil. The pla! all through the second part was clean fast and scientific. Both sides did goot work. But if anything the Ansonia players did better than the locals. Blu for weakness in shooting for goal anC i'll timed judgment in passing the. would undoubtedly have scored.
 The New Haven team had a nev goal keeper, Hadden by name, and h. did some splendid work. The rest 0 the players all did good work, and thei victory of to was well earned.
 The forward work was excellent es pecially the passing between w. Gree and J. Henderson. Dalgleish and Stew ems also did excellent work.
