Southford.
BRIEFLY NOTED.

One of the best ball games that was ever played in Southford was played between the Diamond Match Co.'s team and pick team from Sey- mour, Stevenson and Quaker Farms. The Diamond Match Co.'S team won by a score of l to 0. The battery for Seymour, Stevenson and Quaker Farms team were Gorham and Reeves. MT Gorham pitched one of the incest games that was ever wit messed in Southford, striking out seven men. lie also made a good impression on the Diamond Match Co.'S players. To think that he had courage enough to come to South ford and play ball without bringing some of his relations with him which is customary for Seymour players to do when they go out of town. The battery for the Diamond Match Co. was Sheehan and Whitney. Sheehan pitched a perfect game, striking out nine of Seymour's best players. This game was played on Saturday, July 3. Fred Kemp umpire.
 The ball game, whichswas played between the Diamond Match Co. s team and the Quaker Farms, Steven son and Seymour players, Monday, July 5, was won by the Quaker Farms, Stevenson and Seymour con solidated ball nine. Score g to 2.
 The batteries of the consolidated nine were Owens, Hains and Reeves. MT Owen pitched very good game, striking out seven men. Sheehan and Whitney were batteries for the Diamond Match Co.'s nine. Sheehan pitched a very good game but had very poor support, striking out nine men. The consolidated nine brought all their friends with them, which numbered $50. The one great fea- ture of this game was a MT Keeler, one of the Seymour players, explain ing the rules and regulations to the various players. We all appreciate his advice very much owing to the fact that the book of rules is very tscarce in Southford.

THEY WERE "ON."
Telephone Managers Not Easily Left.

A peculiar incident occurred last Thursday. The judiciary committee gave a hearing on a bill introduced by one of the farmer members, MT Johnson of Newtown, which would make the night telephone rate be- come effective at p. m., instead of at 10 p. m., as at present. The hear ing did not apper cn the bulletin and the members as whole did not know that it was to be given until two minutes before the House ad- iourned, which was something less than an hour before the time set for the hearing and yet, when the hear ing was called, the country members found four of high officials of the telephone company awaiting them. Those efficient gentlemen down in New Haven had heard of it in timeto be present when members of the Legislature had not an hours notice. It is little stunts of this sort which are rendering the country members a bit suspicious of their leaders and also of the corporations.-[Shore Line Times.

A. P. Smith, Editor of The New town Bee: We are told by those in attendance at the recent examina- tion for entrance to the High School that teachers, older brothers, sisters and other friends, were permitted in the rooms during the preparation of the children's papers and were al- lowed to communicate with and as- sist them in answering the questions. A member of the School Board in- forms us that the practice has been common, in these examinations, for several years. We wonder if each applicant for High School member ship would be allowed a coach in taking an examination; if not, great i injustice is done to those children who must spend added years, either in private or district school, until they could pass in by their own un- aided exertions. If such is the case, we suggest that in future announce ments of these trials the following be added to the notice of time and place: Those parents or teachers who are especially anxious that their children shall pass the examination creditably will see the necessity of having the children assisted in their papers by some one competent. IA Parent and Taxpayer.
 The above warm protest comes to The Bee by letter and the editors telephone has jingled along the same line. The Editor has called the attention of the chairman of the School Board to the matter, who thinks the charges are untrue. He says two public school teachers were present, but does not know why they were there. The members of the Board are con- scientious men and of course desire that the examinations should be fair ly corductad. If everyone save the members of the School Board and the applicants for admission were excluded from the room, all criticism would beavoided.-[Editor.

MT Johnson, of Newtown, is one of the most serious and conscientious of men. He has the respect of every member of the House, and he is en- titled to their respect. There is one parliamentary rule which he thinks is very inconyenient at times and that is the moving of the previous question. It was moved by MT Park CT, of Hartford, with fatal effect on MT Johnson's resolution for a recess and Mir Johnson did not like it bit After the days session he and MI Parker formed part of a group of members who discussed in an inform al way the action of the House and the state of business. MT Johnson took MT Parker to task for having moved the previous question and plainly intimated that in doing SC MT Parker had not pursued fair tac- tics. MT Parker replied that ne sim ply exercised his parliamentary privi- lege in making the motion to which MT Johnson had so strenuously ob- jected. MT Johnson looked as if he wished MT Parker would think less of his parliamentary privileges ano little more of the feelings of mem bers, particularly when they are in- clined to be loquacious. The incl dent ended by MT Parker cherishing his privileges and by Mr Johnson wishing that he would find some way of exercising them other than by shutting off debate at time when members had found their tongues and were ready to use them. It was evident that MT Parker thought that the best time to move the previous question was when members showed a disposition to be talkative. It is not likely that he and MT Johnson would agree on the time to exercise their parliamentary privileges ifbotf had remained in conversation On tht subject till the crack of doom. Hart ford Times.
