MIppLEToWN DEFEATED.
Score to in Fsst and Interesting
 Game on Mindhan Field.

pretty good bunch of fans, consid- erlng the threatening weather, gath cred on Windham field Thursday after noon and saw Dunn's Colts take a fall out Of Fishers Jewels. the league lead CTS, from Middletown
 The game was a good fast one and was certainly featured sufficiently well from a local standpoint to please the most exact3ng fan Three times the leathern sphere was driven over the fence by WiIlimantic players. the first tune by Smith for a clean home run and the two others by O'Donne1l and Campion for good doubles-all in the same inning Lefty also took shot at the league record for strikeouts and established new one by flaming Is Altddletown swatters / and would have Lad couple of more had Umpire Rogers given him what was his due
 Speaking about umpires-it might be well to state right here that Rogers hasn't got anything on Snag Edgarton and the players. especially the Middle towns, were hollering almost continu- ally Thursday at his miscues or what they considered as such.
 Bates for Middletown was hit pretty freely, being touched up for ten hits with total of fifteen bases and sent. hVe men to base on balls. He was eraebing for several innings and acted Ike a man in blue funk. In all Probability he missed Bannon and thought that he would try to get away with some of his usual stuff.
 Beii1s may be a good player, all right, all right, but he does not have the strong arm on the throttle like Ban non had and it appeared very much as though Fishers Jewels were coming out Of their respective settings and showed up phony like without Bannon to guide them.
 Pop Edgar, who is usually daisy litter. famed three out ofsfour times up. Dunlap famed twice. as did Null cahy, and Ferris pounded air as many tim es as Edgar Johnson, eDeMara. Bates and Ferris struck out ionce each and Captain Bellis failed to touch the paI twice. slnaking five or six healthy swings at it.
 The only features from a Middletown Standpoint Were the, two two -baggers by Dunlap and Bates and the nifty runningl1b l1by Harris. the fast visiting left fielder. who had four stolen bases to his qfedit. He is without, doubt one of the, very fastest men in the league and iS 9 very dangerous man on the bases Mulcahy and Campion played good games at the initial station and O'Mara caught al beautiful game for Willi- mantle In the infieId James Nichols Shone with a putout and six assists

Fifty Thousand Turtles.

Fifty thousand live diamond-b back turtles were shipped from New pr- leans recently in a tank car to New York. says the Christian Herald. B. NJ Wichens, who operates one of the largest turtle breeding plants in the world in Jefferson Parish. across the river from New Orleans, filled the tank car with filtered cistern water and put in the necessary food to supply the crea lures during the trip. To fill the large order in so short a time 1t was found necessary to resort to artificial incubation. 100000 eggs being put into warm water for the purpose. Most of the turtles are from three to six months old, the age at which they are most desirable. Each year thc demand for sea food seems to increase. until that business has grown to enormous proportions. especially in the civilized portions of the world.
