 Fish Follows. \ Especial to the Herald)
 New Haven, July 22.-New Britain's law makers and city officials are at Lighthouse Point and Savn Rock to- day enjoying their annual outing. Ap- proximately half hundred are pres ent. The majority left this morn ing on the s37 train for New Haven but several made the trip in automo- brles. ....... There are two big features of the day, the ball game in the morning at the Point and the shore dinner in the afternoon at the Colonnade al Savin Rock. The ball game was scream. The opposing sides were of democrats and republicans. Coun- cilman Paonessa led the democrats and Councilman Ohman was the Scinski of the republicans. There were several vain attempts to snag- gle second base and there was some mighty sprinting for long flies in the outfeld. Numerous errors were
  bribed by the offer of . package of Niitchell's "salt water taffy'' conse- quently many of the boots" will never be recorded. The backstop work of Alderman Kcrwin was a fea- tufe and Chief Meyers may we'll shiver if McGraw ever hears of the sixth ward alderman.
 During and after the game many of the city officials enjoyed a dip in the brine. The bathing at Lighthouse Point is far superior to that at the Rock and the surf was running right for plunge into the deep.
 IA sail across the harbor to the Rock followed. The crowd congre- gated at the Colonnade where Mine Host Bishop did his best The menu was par excellence and the represen- tatives of the inland city did full jus tice to the courses. Speeches were made by d number of officials includ- ing Mayor George A. Quigley.
 Water Commissioner P. J. Egan. the Poet laureate of the city build ing read his annual effusion. Some stiff knocks were handed out by the Twentieth century Shakespeare" but boosts were in the majority. The
  of the city commissions follows: Our mayor, George A. Quigley, says We'll have a better city in many ways Better streets, better lights, Better protection for those out
 nights.
