The 2s members of the Quinnlpiac

 mems tournament on Thursday, al though five hours behind schedule time in returning yesterday, report a splen- did time and say that the detention did not initiate against the success of the excursion. The Fair Haven delegation and its drum corps received much praise for it's appearance in the line which extended for a distance of a mile and half They also brought home a handsome prize in the shape of a $25 clock, which will be placed in the en- zine house and will be constant re- hinder of the trip. It is a handsome metal clock two feet high and was ! awarded to the company coming the 1 greatest distance, 59 miles.
 The Fair Haven delegation sailed away on the steamer I. E. Brown at 2 a. m of Thursday and had fine run to Greenport After breakfast, they participated in the parade and other 1 festivities of the day and started on the return with the hope of reaching the steamers dock in Quinnipiac river at midnight, but a sou'wester was do- ing business out on the Sound and af- ter leaving Gardner's bay, the steamer encountered a young gale and waves running high. It would have turned out all right if the steamer had been load- ed sufficiently to keep the propeller un- [ der water, but as it was, the wheel raced out of the watre much of the time and Capt. Frank Larabee fearing that the engine would break down, de- cided to run for New London, after having reached abreast of cornfeld Point. Accordingly the steamer was put away for New London. This of course meant larger draft on the colnmissary department, but the boat was well grubbed and the provisions 1 held out we'll Of course the firemen were pretty well shook pp and while some of them were qualmish, only one was really very sick. Arrived at New London, there was wait of about three hours for the Owl train, and in consequence of lack of sleep, some of the fire laddies were not at their places of business yesterday morning. Joseph Jacobs and Bert W. Bradley stopped over intending to come back on the steamer, but it was so rough yesterday morning the boat did not venture out and they returned Ivy train. On the run over to New London, the time did hang heavily, for there was story-tell- ing, songs and selections by the drum corps. The committee consisted of Had Icy, Howard and Busbee. A New Lon- don paper in it's description of the trip yesterday, headed it's story: "Seasicls fremen driven to port-Quinnipiacs of New Haven headed home from Green port sought refuge here from storm"
