 After these events there was a general rush for the field, to witness the base ball game between East Canaan and | Dover Plains. It was a variegated, animated and kaleiGoscopic human horse shoe that enCiTcled the upper angles of the diamond. \ few seats | had been provided, but the vast majority nf the multitude found places as best they could, and sat on the grass until their view was ohstructed by latel corners who stood ID ill font of them, oblivious to the calls of Down ir frontp' and the uncomplimentary epithets hurled from the grass OlCachers. Constable Low Rloadrs, who ofEciated as umpire of the biruchers on the home. plate line, and kept the crowd back or the east side of the ditch, which con stituted the cad line, philosophically stood for lot of joshing from the i'm. pounded fans cross the ditch, who com plained that his portly form oEstructrt their view of the whole diamond. BUt all in all, it was an orderly crowd, anC manifested n genuine interest ill tht progress of the game, and a number oi bets were laid on the outcome.
 The game was spirited and well-play ed but it was apparent from the begin ming that Dover Plains was no matcl for East Canaan, though the former made some brilliant plays, which were generously applauded. The result O. the contest was a victory for East Ga naan, with the score of 7 to 1.
 This ended the field attractions, ant at the close the crowd surged off tn grounds and scattered in all direc tions. Shortly afterward every roat leading out of Canaan was aliv' with automobiles and horse vehicles homeward bound, for the big even was over, though many remain ed to take the later trains anC trolley cars; and the center of the vii lage, especially ill the neighborhood O the hotel, was alive until a late hour Constables Rhoades and Trieschmanl and Special officer Con. Hitchcock wer on duty to preserve order, but aside iron few forceful admonitions to a fev boisterous out-of- town drunks, ther was very little trouble.
