DEFEATED ii TO 5.
Local Team Lost to MiddIetown in
 Saturdays Game.

Mayor Dunn's Colts were given a dose of their own medicine Saturday afternoon on Windham field when the Edsher- -Burdick aggregation from Mid dletown headed by Tommy Bannon turned the tables on them and went home rejoicing with the long end of a 11-5 score.
 A big crowd numbering in the vicin- ity of thousand people, witnessed the heart rending slaughter and many felt disgusted at the poor and futile at tempts at fielding that the home play CTS made The drubbing was partially due to very dumb ball playing on the part of the Colts and also at the time ly hitting of the visitors
 Daniels showed right off the reel that his arm was glassy and four hits were made off his delivery in one and two thirds innings. Manley went in to stem the tide, but fared little better and gave way to Wallace after the Mid dletown sIuggers had made four hits off the local boy in a trife over one inning, three in one and one-third in nings and one hit in the fourth with none down.
 Wallace used his head a trifie better but was wauoped all around the lot, the Ramon boys connecting for eight hits in the remaining six innings. The Willima ntics had their batting togs on also but were unable to hit when hits were needed the most Hitting would come twice in succession with two down and the next hitter up would pop up an easy one or lay down a grounder that was gobbled up with avidity and tho side would be retired. Fifteen hits principally scattered, were made, how ever, off Bates delivery that did not appear to be so very wonderfully SteamY.
 O'Mara was i'll Saturday and Flynn played first in his stead and some at tribute Willimantic's poor showing to that fact. as O'Mara played a good game at the first station in Middletown Friday and hit the ball for keeps. Flynn, however, felded his position fairly well and got the first real hit since his connection with the nine. If by any way the first four innings of the weird contest could be eliminat- 1 ed the fans would have been immense l ly satisfied, as the dope would then have been score Middletown 3, Willi- mantle 2, with the home club leading in the matter of hits by 7-5. and would have been tie if Nichols had not lost his man at first in the ninth by a rank ! error and then followed it up with an other that permitted the preceding batter to score.

CARS ON TIME.
All II-connecticut Reliability Run. Inter ests Borough Observers-One Wom- an Made the Trip.

On time to the minute. the first of the mud-besp battered cars and bedrag- gled drivers in the all-Connec/cut re- liability run flashed up Main street at 10-30 Saturday morning. Their appear ance had been awaited with much in- terest, especially as a Danielson man had a car among the entries. by groups gathered along their route through the business section.
 It was only 9.3O when the confetti car. the advance guard of the score of machines to follow, made stop at a local store to replenish the gasoline supply. Like those that were to fol- low, men and machine were caked with mud They had left Hartford at 4 a. rl., and, as the driver said, had ridden through rivers of water between Hart ford and New London. It had rained so hard part of the trip that the oc- cupants of the car said the drops beat against their faces Nike hail.
 An hour elapsed between the pass ing of the car and the next to follow the pathfinder. @ Pope Hartford, and the Speedwell and the Corbin, in a group in the order named. They were held at the Main street crossing by a freight train for a brief time, but got up to a gasoline supply station at eX- actly 10.30, as called for by their sched ule. From then on until 11.42. when the last car passed through, they came and went at intervals of a few minutes. Some of them stopped, but the greater
 
 All of the mud-larlxs were apparent ly in very good humor, and kindly call ed out their numbers, waved their hands, or footed a salute with their horns. Rubber ponchos were the fav- orite garments with the riders, all of whom looked as if they had been dip- ped in a muck bath.
 None of the cars were over-speeding through this town, and there was only one little thriller for the expectant crowd. The driver of the smaller Car ter car performed a fancy slddding feat when he came into Main street from Franklin street, near the grist mill. and a startling short stop at the Town hall building, when he applied his emer- gency brake at sight of a gasoline sign. When the machine shot out for Put nam, a minute later, the left rear wheel was doing an accelerated serpentine movement.
 One woman braved the discomforts of the run for the sake of the excite ment. She was a passenger in the Ma

High Rank Given the City's Finest and
 Fire Fighters.

The mayor and members of the common council made the spring in Spection of the police department and the annual inspection of the fire de- -partment Saturday afternoon, com
 nencing at o'clock at police head quarters, and from there proceeding to the Bank street station and inspecting the Alerts and the Excelsior Hook and Ladder company. Chief Wade U. Web ster and Assistant Fire Engineers Nel- son A Daniels and John O'Rourke made the rounds of the other con1pa- nies with Mayor Dunn and the mem bers of the common council in hacks.
 The inspection of the police depart ment and quarters was very satisfac- tory, as was the inspection of all the fire companies. The Hilltops and the Montgomerys- presented fine appear ance. His Honor made a neat little speech in behalf of the city and the board at the Bank street house and complimented the companies there on their tidy appearance and the way the apparatus was kept in order. e The various needs of the department in the way of repairs and so forth was called to the attention of the city fla thers.
 The only absentees were Aldermen HoFbrook, Shepard and Whitmore, and Third Assistant Fire Engineer Thomas Foley.
