Barnett were being driven from the Pellett home in Westfield to the town hall, where the ball was being held. On the box was Frank Harrington driving and Leon. Perreault, a boy. Near Hutchins street the horses broke into a run It was said afterwards that they became frightened because the pole in the hack was one other than is usually used and the vehicle came up and struck the horses.
 Driver Harrington was unable to control them and they raced wildly the whole length of Main street Through the business section the hack swayed as if it would tip over at ev- cry turn of the wheels and going across the Main street railroad crossing glass was shattered out of the doors
 As the horses went by the town hall the Norwich touring car containing Harold Wynan, who was driving, Jo- seph Pearson, Winton Robinson and Charles Morse, had just pulled up be- side the curb and one of the men was putting out the headlights on the ma chine The runaway skipped the ma cine by inches only.

after the runaways commenced, the idea being to overtake them, pass on and swing in ahad.
 This plan was carried out on the West Side near Day street, but only after the horses had nearly run them slvs out, and were ready to drop in their tracks
 The occupants of the hack were brought back in the automobile not in any way injured, but suffering severe nervous shock.
 The horses ran for more than a mile. There surely would have been a very bad accident, were it not for the nerve displayed by driver Harrington, who remained cool as a cucumber through out. The runaway scared the wits out of several hundred people who wit messed it, the streets being crowded at that hour SS0,

John Hughes, representing the All Stars. and John A. Holland, repre- seRting the Sachems. met at Tie Bulletin office the other evening to ar range a series of games between the above mentioned teams. Both men discussed the ability of their respective teams and neither man did any mud singing of any kind. In fact, things passed off very harmoniously.

BASEBALL AT N. F. A.
First Real Praetice-Season Opens
 Saturday With Dinebats.

The first real baseball practice at the Academy commenced Monday aft ernoon. Captain Stanley issued a call and about forty responded. The aft ernoon was spent chiefly in batting practice and infield work. As it was quite chilly, the pitchers did not do much in the pitching line. The out field candidates look very promising and all candidates seemed to have their eye on the ball when they took a turn at the bat.
 The boys will have one of their hardest games this coming Saturday when they line up against the Ding bats. This team is the pick of the city and made up mostly of former N. F. A. Students. They expect to give the school boys a beating that they will remember. Manager Leahy has not yet received their lineup but expects to soon. He has notified the manager of the Dingbats that the field would be ready for the game and put in first class shape.
