MERGER NOT A CRIME.
According to Court Decision It Only
 Exceeded the Roads Power.

Officers of the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford Railroad Co are Quot- ed as saying that the form of the de- cree in the case of the decision Of the Massachusetts supreme court against the holding of trolleys in that state is matter of at least equal import ance with the decision of the court it. self The decree will almost neces- sarily, it is believed in railroad cir- cles here, deal with the extremely complicated question of the disposar and destination of the sixteen trolley plants in the state. A decree is not expected in less than two weeks, Should the decree be of such nature as not to allow further appeal to the Massachusetts courts and of such nature as to force the question of immediate or early transfer to out side interests of the trolley compa- nies there appears to be little doubt that an appeal will be taken to the federal courts Instead of prolonged litigation, however, a final compro- mise is looked for.
 An officer of the company ill speak ing of the decision of the Massaeh1- setts courts called attention to the fact yesterday that the company had done nothing criminal ill the matter but had simply according to the deci- sion of the court exceeded its power. It was, he said, as if a corporation authorized to do certain business had acting under the advice of it's at torneys gone into another kind of bus mess into which it believed it had no right to go. The Massachusetts law in consequence provides for no pen
 alty whatever i'll this case and the at torney general of Massachusetts has brought proceedings merely in the aa. ture of an injunction process.

CONNECTICUT SUMMER RESORTS
New York, New Haven and Hartford
 Co Issues Neat Booklet.


 Opening with the just statement that Ito the seeker for rest and recreation the beautiful hillFcountry and the delightful shore resorts of southern New England present va riety of charm and attraction uneX- celled in any other part of the coun- try" the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad has issued, under the title of Manual of Summer Re- sorts," a pretty little booklet of the summer places to be reached on its lines, west of New London and Wll- limantic. The places along the Gen. tral New England road are included.
 Without making pretense of being other than simple list of towns, hotels and rates, the pamphlet, bound in an attractive poster cover, is filled, nevertheless, with sugges- tions of cool vacation days in the hills and on the shore, the charm of which is made doubly appealing by the hot days of this season. The completeness of the information con- tained in the book may be judged by the fact that thirty pages are given over to a list of hotels and stopping places in Connecticut, eastern New York and the Berkshires, with prices and fares. Other pages contain at tractive illustrations of the country, with its lakes and hills, and informa- .tion for travellers.

GAELIC BANQUET
Local Society Held lis Annual
 Reception Last Evening.

The Gaelic Literary society held is annual banquet in it's rooms in C.. A. R. block last night. Covers were set for 34 persons, all members of the society. Timothy F. Luddy act ed as postmaster. He made a short address in Gaelic and conducted the tongue. Most of the numbers on the programme were in Gaelic, but a few having more faith in their abil- ity to speak English used that Ian guage. But the number was small compared with those who demon strated their ability to talk Irish Ill a manner which would surprise one who imagines that it takes an Eng fish speaking person long time to master Irish. The principal ad- dresses were by the Rev Farrel Mar tin, D. D., and the Rev Charles W. Brennan, the former confining him. self to the spread of the ancient language in a few short years and the latter having for his subject Ancient Gaelic Scholars"
 Hugh Moriarty rendered 'Fauny Gal an Lac" the English of which Is "The Dawning of the Day" a very popular old Irish song, and Mrs Hugh Moriarty sang Moore's ever charming Meeting of the Waters. Miss Marguerite White sang the The Dear Little Shamrock, ana Joseph Holohan reeited Margaret and the Minister" Several others contributed to the programme which was by far the most interesting ever carried out by the association. some of the members have not been study ing the Irish language very long and yet all of them have mastered it suf- ficiently well to enable them to car ry on a conversation without any trouble.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Bill Dineen is winning right along for the St Louis Browns and has done his share to put them in the pennant hunt.
 This thing of a pitcher making a quick return to the batter when the latter isn't looking is risky and could be we'll cut out.
 Johnny Kling makes a good point. He wonders why outfielders in the preliminary work don't practice throwing to the plate.
 Grant of the Phillies is a rapid mover when running to first base and has a final long stride that gets him there all the quicker.
 Griffith didn't look like the "phy- sical wreck" he is said to have been when he left the New Yorks. Tn fact. Griff says his health has been pretty good this season.
 Baseball has some curious twists. The Chicago Cubs were weakened for a while by the absence of Sheckard, but soon after he got back in the game they lost first place.
 The mills of Ban grind slowly. Elberfeld's last alleged offence against the umpire was committed on a Saturday and his suspension was not meted out until the follow ing Friday.
 One lone picker of a college "All America" team chose Currier of Harvard. which shows there's no accounting for opinions. Jones of Yale was head and shoulders above any other college baekstop.
 IL is somewhat exasperating to fair minded spectators to hear some bone headed player call down the umpire, especially when the player is one who makes more errOrs in his work than the umpire does.
 Though the New York Americans may be out of-the -pennant chase. which we and they do not concede. they can provide a lot of fun by taking falls out of the teams which think they are going to win.
 The way oommercialism Is creep ing into college sports is awful. The Harvard. Yale. Princeton and Penn syivania teams. not to mention a few dozen others. actually refused 10 close their gates against people who wanted 10 pay their way in.
 Wagner of the Boston Americans hath a dry wit In the sixth inning cf the no hit game which CT Young pitched against the New Works last week he asked: How many hits have they made of ron. CT" 'I don't think they've got any yet. .'' responded Cy. Well" said WaE- Ter. ~Tm as good ss the whole New York team I haven't got any lef. either"

CROSS WHIPS GRIFFIN.

Leach Cross outpunehed, outfought and outgeneraled Charley Griffin. the featheTweight champion of Australia at the Roman A. C., New York, last night in one of the fastest six round bouts seen during the past year. The east side dentist did the greater amount of execution and his punish ing blows fioored the lad from the am tipodes in the fifth and only the clang of the gong saved the Aus tralian from a knockout.
 Twice fin the fifth did the rapid fire punches of the eAsc slder drop the game little featherwetgh- from the other side tO the floor. Both were vicious right swings. The first con- nected with the Australian at time when he was rushing Cross ahout he ring and seemed to have a chance of scoring a knockout. It took the speed out of Griffin. but he came back with a strong rally only to receive anoth- CT wallop and he fell to the floor as the gong ended the round. He was carried to his corner by his seconds.
 Following up his advantage in the last session Cross went after his man with a rush. Griffin for a few min utes managed to eyade the punishing cyclone which relentlesly followed him around and seemed to gain heart. From a stand in the last ditch the plucky little Australian forced Gross to the ropes and crossed over right and left. but his blows lacked steam and Gross. covering, kept out of harms reach and toward the end Of the round had GTifin in a groggy condition.

TERRY PUTS IT OVER HUGHEY.
Two McGoverns Have a Fistic En-
 cnnnter-Crnss Beats Griffin.

Terry McGovern, the prizefighter, is not a dead one, even if his brother, Hughey, who is also a fighter, is so hold as to say so. And now Hughey's statement may be somewhat modified after the trimming he received last night from Brother Terry.
 Terry McGovern paid a call last night at the home of his mother in Brooklyn. While there Hushey Me Govern arrived also to pay his re- spects. The two brothers became in volved in an argument concerning their respective merits, Brother Hugh ey stoutly maintaining that Brother Terry was a dead one, a quince. and could not even qualify as a fighter .ot hies..,sxsss.-sz-- ,-.- -,-.- ,.--.-- ssss-s-
 This statement and few others of a like nature angered brother Terry, and he decided that the only proper thing to do was to give brother Hugh ey an illustrated demonstration of his ability. As soon as the fight began Mrs McGovern, knowing her sons, rushed to the drug store and tele- phoned police headquarters to send an ambulance.
 When Dr Holt of the Seney hospi- tai arrived he found brother Hughey suffering from abrasions of the fore head. two badly damaged eyes and generally beaten up. Brother Terry was nowhere on the landscape.
 When an officer from the Fifth ave- nue station arrived he started a search for Brother Terry. and being unsuccessful in his quest notified the central office. The entire police de- partment is now in search of Brother Terry, who is charged with felonious assault.
 Brother Hughey is lying at home properly bandaged and cherishing in his mind a far better opinion Of Brother Terry's prowess than he held last evening.
