News sometimes fails to reach the office until it is old and al- though late in doing so, we report a very pleasant affair which re- gently occurred at the home of Uncle Irve Shipman in the way of birthday dinner in honor of his seventy third birthday. Those present were MT. and Mrs. Hiram Buie and children, MT. and Mrs. J. l.. Rhodes and child ren, Mir. and Mrs. A. J. Wheeler and children, Mrs. Jim Morgan, Mrs. Alice Stacy and Mrs. George Wallace. Uncle frye is one of the comparatively few remaining veterans of the civil war and after a few more birthdays at best, he will go to join his comrades who
 have already "passed over the river to rest under the shade ol the trees. :"

Chi1dren's Day at Denver.

Sunday was children's day at Denver and the program render ed by the children was witnessed by a large number of people. The morning opened beautifully and at an early hour the farm wagons, buggies and carriages were loaded with the little tots who were to take part in the ex- ercises of the day, conveying them to the large arbor that had been erected for the occasion. The exercises co m m n e d promptly at 10 o'clock. The opening song, Let It Shine, was furnished by the Denver choir. Rev. Ruble offered the invocation after which some excellent music was rendered by the Coin choir. All the schools represented then joined in the lesson for the day.
 After the lesson splendid ad- dress was delivered by Rev. J. J. Galloway, presiding elder for this district.
 This brought high noon, the busiest hour of the day, for all :, both old and young, were ready to partake of the good things to eat that were spread in the old fashioned way upon the ground.
 The afternoon program con. sisted of songs, recitations and dialogues furnished by the dif- ferent schools.
 The closing exercises were very impressive. A declamation by Miss Jessie Mathis, followed by the song, God Be With You Till We Meet Again, sung by all the schools, were the last feat. ures of the day exercises.
 /, At the business meeting of the organization it was decided to hold the next children's day ex- ercises at Oak Hill.

pr. Poynor has been confined to his room for several days on account of injuries sustained by his horses falling with him Fri day night of last week. The ac- cident occurred in the road near the home of w. D. Lemon, south of town, while the doctor was on his way to the country to make a professional call. He has not been able to tell just how it hap pened as he was stunned by the fall and was hardly conscious of his condition for possibly an hour after the accident. When he was able 10 give the alarm MT. Lemon and others were aroused and he was taken to the home of Bob Thorn where he remained until Saturday morning when conveyance was sent out after him. Some very ugly bruises were left on the doctors faco and arms but the most serious injury was a severe sprain of the left knee. He will likely be on crutches for some time after be- ing able to leave his room.
 Dr. Spuriin will be here June IS, 19 and 20.

It was reported in a recent is- sue of THE TRIBUNE that pr. Worthington would leave about the middle of the present month on his return to the isthmus of Panama, where he has been the past year in the government ser- vice as a physician on the Pana- ma canal works. At the time that this item appeared the doctor had no other intention than re- turning to the isthmus at the end of the time allowed for his vaca- ton but since then he has learned that there are much better things awaiting him, his resignation has been sent to Washington and he will not return to the isthmus. Before leaving Panama he took the examination required to show eligibility to the position of a surgeon in the United States Army. He received notice last week that his examination was satisfactory and was ordered in- to the service at once. He will leave in a few days for Georgia where he will be stationed until the first of October after which time he will be sent to Wash- ington City where he will be as- signed for a year.

THE DIAM o ND WAS VERY
 WELL DONE
Bronkie Pitched the Ball That Wins and New Haven Fell Results
 of Other Games.

Herman Bronkie proved his worth yesterday by letting down New Ha- ven with four little bingoes. Three of those did not amount to anything, while the one that did count against us came in the sixth inning and was assisted by an error and base on balls. The only time that matters really looked bad for us at all was in the fourth inning, when the first two men up started off with clean singles. Bronkie settled down in the saddle at once and was never dis mounted, for the next three men were easy outs. In the seventh a misjudged fly by McEnroe and a bad throw by Bronkie to second came near resulting disastrously, but the twirler was still there with the goods and delivered them. We did not do whole lot of hitting ourselves off Nolte's delivery, but in the third and fifth we managed to hammer the ball just hard enough and with a couple of misplays we made the runs credited to us. The one feature of the game aside from the work of our whole team was the remarkable catch of Nichols in the second in- ming. He ran in back of the short field to take Wade's. fly and caught it as it was about to hit the ground. Nick stood on his head for a few seconds and did pinwheel, but came up with that smile of his and the ball still sticking to his glove. Nick wore several more hairs off his head dofflng his cap to the plaudits of his friends. The score:

CITY AMATEUR LEAGUE.
Differences Between Ground Owners
 and Managers Smoothed Over.

The City Amateur league will open the season next Sunday out on the Rockville grounds, and the many fol- lowers of this fast little league will be more than pleased to know that everything has been satisfactorily ar ranged. There has been no real misunderstanding between the off, cials and managers of the league and the ground owners, but some of the players took it on themselves to crit icize the contracts made with the owners, and intimated that the league was getting the worst end of lit. It will probably be surprise to a great many people to know that the same terms that were in vogue last season had been accepted this sea son, but that George J. Strobel vol untarily offered better terms to the league, believing that the City anna teurs deserved it. Those terms were at once accepted. When certain re- marks came home to the owners of the grounds, they decided, that if the City Amateur league did not ap- preciate voluntary offer of 10 per cent better than they had last sea- son, they would close the grounds for the season.
 Yesterday the president, who had been i'll for nearly week got into communication with Messrs Strobel and Durant and explained to them that the managers of the league were | in no way responsible for wild cat remarks and they should not be ad- judged guilty for the faults of others. Messrs Strobel and Durant agreed to | let the City Amateur league begin their games next Sunday under the terms as proposed by MT Strobel, 50 per cent to the league and 40 per cent to the owners of the grounds, after all expenses are paid. There are quite number who are still in the dark as to the expenses that are allowed and to show that the owners of the grounds are not asking too much, they pay half the following expenses: Two umpires, four or five policemen, ground help, trolley fares for six teams and the baseballs that are used during the games. Should there be any other legitimate ex- penses each side will also pay half of that. The contract is not a bad one by any means when you stop and
 figure it out without prejudice.
 At meeting of the managers of the league last night in the St Jo- seph's rooms the contract was dis cussed pro and con and was finally adopted after discussion on the ad- visibility of playing on the driving park. In order that no fault may be found later. if the schedule is in- terrupted, the owners of the grounds asked for the same privileges they had last season, that if 1t is possible for them to play two or three games during the season with some big league clubs, they want that privi- lege and this was agreed to. The schedule for next Sunday was then made as follows: At 12:30 the St Josephs and the North Ends; 2:15, Washington Hills and Pastimes. and at 4 o'clock Brooklyns and Merri- macs. James Thompson will umpire the first game and George Waite of Naugatuck will officiate in the last two games.

WRESTLING
JIM PARR
 GOES DOWN
Lundin Put the Englishman to the
 Bad in Hartford - Mike Dwyer's Bluff.

Hartford. April 30.--Hjalmar Lun- din closed his season in this state last night by defeating Jim P;rr making a record of four victories and one draw in this league, or m average of 100 per cent His victims were Carl Pons, French Canadian; Terrible Turk, Turk; Walter White, Yankee. and Jim Parr, English. Lundn's victory over Pons was at cateh-as-catch- can style and they wrestled draw at Graeco-Roman.
 F. When Lundin and Parr appeared on the mat they were liberally cheered. Both men stripped in fine style and looked to be in grand shape. LuIdin outweighed the stocky Briton by about twenty pounds and he had the advantage of him in height.
 The men tugged and pulled at each other for not quite half hour. Parr was frequently applauded for his cleyerness in extricating himself from dangerous holds. Lundin secured the first fall in 26:20 with a scissors and half Nelson. Parr went at his man more savagely when they came to- gether again and 1t appeared several times that he would get fall but Lundin broke the holds and threw Parr again in 10 minutes with an arm hold, to which scissors was attach ed. Parr said he was bridged when ,the first fall was declared but he thought the referee believed 1t was q fall.
 Philip Bonefant of New Britain and Fritz Hanson of Worcester wrestled in the preliminary. They went at each other rather savagely. Hanson showed superior knowledge and strength but Bonefant was slippery and he got out of good many dan gerous places, doing several dasbes across the mat while spinning on his head. Hanson won the first fall in 16:31 with crotch hold and ham, merlock. When they went to the dressing room, Hanson warned Bone fant about hitting him with his elbow. Hanson smOthered Bonefant after ten minutes of work when they met the second time and q fall was secured by half Nelson and face lock. There was more betting on the Hanson Bonefant go than there was on the star bout. as the New Britain delega- ton came to town loaded to the gun wales with greenhacks and yellow backs. There was about S2JO up on this match, good deal of if being placed last night. It would be inter eSffnes fo know where EoDefant arof the idea that he could throw Hanson.

Boxing Bouts at Boston.

BOSTON, April 30.-In the twenty preliminary bouts which opened the boxing championships of the Amateur Athletic union held here at Mechanics hall last night local sparrers made an excellent showing, although H. Mears of Boston, the New England champion in the 115 pound class, was defeated by A. Carroll of New York after three hard rounds. There was only one knockout, w. T. Walters of New York going down before A. Anderson of South Boston. The bout in the heavy weight class was between R. Sears of Hyde Park (220 and E. Paine of New York (196), and the referee stopped the contest in the second round and gave Paine the decision.

THE "CHAMPS" WON.

Holyoke, April 30.-Norwich de- feated Holyoke here yesterday in an uninteresting game by score of 4 to 8. Norwich maintained the lead up to the eighth inning, when a bat ting rally netted Holyoke two runs and the lead. This was lost in the next inning, however. through the failure of the local players to handle properly several bunts, thus allowing the visitors to get two men across the plate and win. Bridges and Thack- era played the game sharply and several runners were cut of at the plate. The score
