THE MERIDEN MIDWAY.
It Will Be One of the Features at Old
 Home Week.

l Meriden, June 6.-The big Midway which is to be a feature of the Meri- den centennial celebration from June
 10 to Is, has grown beyond all ex- pectations and instead of occupying only the big tract of land in the cen- | ter of the city as originally intended, i it has been found necessary to estab- 1 fish three midways and to do this two l streets near the center of the city are to be closed and the second and third Midway placed in them. Every inch of space in these Midways have been 1 booked by attractions that have pass ed muster with the committee of citi- zens in charge.
 The great magnitude of the Meri- den centennial is shown in the great number of attractions arranged for to suit every taste. As an instance of this thirty-five concerts are on the program during the week and this number does not include the special musical programs in twenty-three churches both morning and evening on the opening day, Sunday, June 10, nor does it include the musical part of many historical meetings and con- NcutlOus.
 Twelve big parades will be held during the week. any one of whici, will be well worth alone a visit to Meriden to see.
 The above are but examples of the scale on which the entire week has been laid out to interest and keep in- terested every visitor to the city. The old Home week feature is kept invio- late in the great number of reunions and historical exercises prepared.
 To accommodate and direct crowds of visitors the Meriden Board of Trade has taken Winthrop square for a big tent as bureau of information and even if armed with the official program. which the centennial committee has issued under the au- thority of special act of the Con- necticut legislature, visitors will probably need the services of that bureau for there is SO much going on that the person with limited time will have to seek out that only which is of the most importance to that persons particular taste.

THE DIAMOND
TOOK MEASURE
 OF THE LEADERS
Farley Twirled His Old Style of Gilt Edge Ball = Results of
 Other Games.

The Norwich Bulletin writes of the game of yesterday as follows:
 Norwich went down with dull and horrible thud at Sachem park on Tuesday before Waterbury. Score, to 2.
 Waterbury started off by scoring two runs in the first on McAndrews's $ single. followed by McCabes fly to center field, which Ball made great run to get under, but just failed to get there and the sphere rolled past Before he could recover it and relay 1t in with his crippled wing the two runners had made the circuit.
 Norwich got one run in the first, Ball being hit, going to second on a passed ball, and to third when Cole laid a pretty bunt along the third base line, which Doc" beat out. On Golden's fly to left Harry scored.
 Ball was again the chief performer in the third, bringing in the tying run after two were out. He rapped the first ball pitched past second, and made that bag with Cote at the bat by a slick slide. Cote put short safety into left, which Swander let get away from him, and Ball raced over the rubber.
 Weak work with the willow ac- counted for lack of further results in the scoring line, and Lords tumble of Thackara's easy roller was follow ed by Farley's double to right, which went over Golden and was picked up by Ball. Harry threw to Golden. ex- pecting that he would relay it in, but John wasn't looking, and when the ball went past him Thackara scored.
 The ninth was marked by bit of snappy work by Scoffei, who caught O'Hagan at the plate with the bases full, when Thackara gave him a field er's choice. On Farley's single billiard and Baker crossed the plate, but Baker was called out for cutting third.
 Accorsini caught his first game for Norwich, and showed that there will be few backstops in the league to have anything on him. His work in catching billiard off first was top liner. and he stopped two attempts to pilfer second with ridiculous ease.
 Umpire Hickey had strenuous afternoon O'Hagan started the trouble with senseless kick when Tighe changed the batting order at the beginning of the second. Jack had been at bat in the first. having had no strikes called on him, when Scoffel was caught between first and second, and in the second inning Tighe put Lord up to begin. The Waterbury captain let Lord bat, and tiren-ewhen Tigne cameeitp J1rieas to bulldoze Hickey into declaring that Tighe had batted in the previous inning, but it was no go. Again Tn the sixth. Farley kicked so hard over a decision declaring Cote safe on first that Hickey waved him out of the game. O'Hagan dashed his glove on to the ground. and the whole Water. bury infield surrounded the "ump, who finally declared that he had spoken hastily and allowed Farley to proceed, in spite of the protests Of Captain Tighe. The score:

Boston, June 6.-From present in dications it appears as if Boston is to have an invasion of English fighters. The latest to come ashore is Kid Will son of London. He arrived few days ago. but he kept his entry into Uncle Sans domains very quiet. Having shaken of the feeling that existed after the long sea voyage and got his land legs in working order again.

THE PUGlLISTS
WILLIE LEWIS
 KIDDED WOLCOTT
Couldn't Make the Black Man Get Into a Ring With Him
 Nevertheless.

Bellfleld Walcott, brother of the re- doubtable Joe. is back in the ring and trying might and main to get into a fight with some of the Boston l40-pounders. otaa ,sa-o, strra
 Dan McKettrick tells good one in which Bellfield figured when Willie Lewis was matched to box Joe Wal colt in Detroit for the welterweight championship. which Joe forfeited rather than take chance with the East Side boy unless he saw mill lion dollars in sight.
 It appears that Willie was being sent out to get Joe's nerve. McKet- trick figured that Joe was never the nerviest man on earth and little proper joshing would get him into a fright. So he fixed Willie accordingly. trading on the fact that Willie was the only man who had ever been able | to knock out Bellheld. Willie was joshing Joe about the latter not wanting to fight. The pair had been offered $500 to meet in pri- vate. and McKettrick snapped up the offer, agreeing that Joe could take the whole $500, win. lose or draw.
 Oome Ou, Joc,. HsHt' tduutcu Lewis. laughing in the colored mans face. Think of all the chicken $500 will buy"
 Go buy chicken fer yourself. shot back Joe.
 No. Joe: I'm harp and I eat fish," returned Willie. I'm after that title. Whats the matter? Are you afraid? Remember. Joe. here's the chance to get even. You know I'm the only man who ever knocked out that ugly brother of yours, Bellfield. Here's where you square up ac- counts'
 "Mistah Willie" returned Joe. de- 1iberately. "Ah don't want no chick en If An have to fight you for 1t. An wants some money and big money at dat. Youse kin knock out Bellfield all youse wanter. but you suttinly gotter show me a million befo' An fight you"

WILL FIGHT FOR CROOK.
Holyoke Wants the Big Hartford
 Right Fielder.

Tom Crook, the newest recruit to the Hartford outfield. agreed to play with Holyoke after Springfield re- leased him. He played with the team last Friday and on Saturday he wore a Hartford uniform. It was not known whom he would line up with Monday, but when the game began he was with the Hartford team and will probably remain. He is one of the best hitters in the league. The Holyoke people say that Crook ran away from them before he signed a contract and they think that Hart ford offered him more money. Man ager Dowd had to play in the right field for Holyoke Monday and he was weak with the stick. Holyoke is to make a fight for Crook as they think he is too valuable a player to get away.
