The union has had mere than its share of moist days In past years but rain and mud dy streets have net often eurtailed the arrangements or dampened the enthusiasm, Conditions for the field events this afternoon were not prom ising shortly before neon.
 Clearing skies and a. warm sun would give 8 measure of assistance. The early morning fog and rain held down attendance of out-of-tewn dele gates and visitors.
 Solemn high mass celebrated at the 1y attended. Rev. J. F. Hennessy. of this city, was celebrant. Rev. W. J. Fox, of Derby, t-eacon, Rev. Father Mccormick, sub-deacon and Rev. J. J. Brennan, of Ansonia, master of ceremonies.
 In spite of the conditions of the att mosphere and the streets, the parade was held as arranged although the turnout of organization was not quite up to the numbers expected. The mu- sic was good and the individual so- cfeties made an excellent appearance. At one time while the column was on the move rain fell brislxly but it did not make the marchers quit although it sent up the umbrellas until the streets were almost canopied with the rain protectors.
 Many of the delegations which had been prepared were in the column but some of those which had been be- decked in bright colors could not be used under the conditions. Bridgeport and many other cities in the state were represented.

RING RETURNED
 WHEN HE FAILED IN HIS BUSINESS

Lust for gold, romance and sordid
 embezzlement are 1nterwoven In the business operations which landed Jo- seph Deutsch, of s56 Pine street, be- hind the bars and resulted in his be-
 ing bound over for trial in the super for court when he appeared before the
 city court judge today.
 Deutsch is specifically charged with
 stealing a. diamond engagement ring from Morris Tevfovitzs of 573 Howard
 avenue. It appeared from testimony
 offered in the Deutsch case today that
 it was a ring returned to Teviovitz by his intended bride because of business
 failure.
 Incidentally suit has been brought jointly against 0eutsch and Samuel Schwartz in the city court by Stephen
 Farkas of Spruce street, who alleges that full payments have not been
 made upon notes given to him Tn part purchase price of a milk-route for merly owned by him and sold to the
 pair. arkas, once a shop hand, saved
 $500, which he employed in an effort to become a business man. With 1t he purchased a milk route, including @
 horse, wagon and needed equipment After several weeks persistent eff
 fort he decided that work in che fac tories was indeed easier the1. business with the result that he agreed to sell Schwartz & Deutsch for 8 oonstdeEa- ton of $5oO one-half cash and the balance on nOteS-
 E IL is alleged that the partnership of
 Schwartz & DeOtsoh did not last for a long period of time and that Deutsch beth ought himself to sell his share ln the business and was quickly followed by Schwartz. Whom news Of the safe became known, Farlzss, who had not been paid the full amount, sought re- dress through Sheriff Joseph Se.e81a-. The horse and wagon, however, TSEG- der the new owner had departed tho state, while b'arkas was sleeping. Un- i less the suit is successful in recover 1 ing the amount claimed Farlzas' ven- ture into the business world will have ] been disastrous.

DIAMOND FLASHES

The failure of Benny aKauff and Lee Magee to land on the pellet with such frequency and force as they display ed last year has caused several scrtbes to insist that this clearly indicates that Federal League pitching was vastly inferior to the O. B. varietys However, it is a poor rule that dOesn' 6 work both ways. Several of the eE- Feds are batting better in the majors than they did last year with the Feds, which would indicate the superiority of Fed twirling. Would it not?
 Baseball scribe remarks that Lee Meadows, the Cardinal hurler, has shattered a tradition by going into the box wearing spectacles. A lot of old timers will recall, however, that this tradition debarring tWirlers with bum lamps was pretty effectually shattered more than thirty years ago by Will White, commonly known as "Specs'' who was a major league hur1-. CT of considerable ability. ''Bpecs'' helped to win pennant for Cincdn~ natl in the old American Association back in 1Ss2-the only gonfa1on of the majors that has ever been hoisted, from a Redland flagstaff.
 Weeghman's "bandbox'' is coming in for a lot of knocks on account of' the short right field fence. As as matter of fact, the right field fence O4 I1S NOAlA oA0S elA n AS44 N --S 54A~4 by several feet as the fence of the Pnillies, but it is not nearly so high as the Quaker City enclosure.
 Reports from nearly all the im-, portant leagues indicate that the att tendance figures this year are likely to eclipse those for several anuuu1s past, and some of tho minor circuits expect to establish a new record In very few years have the majors drawn better than this season for the games so far played, and the interest is ap- parentIy increasing. It looks as ifi 1916 would be a fine, large year GoE3 the baseball magnates.

Shower of Small Change Joins Rain
 In Street Deluge

Stratford avenue at Waterman street was HberaIly sprink1ed last night for the rain not only did it's share, but the dimes and nicke1s in the pocket of conductor Andrew Mcclure of a Par adise Green trolley ear also assisted in the deluge. Mcclure put Frank Green, 27 years old, of 66 Drew place, off of the car because Green became abusive when ordered to get in the car and not ride the running board.
 Green tore McGuire's coat and the change rolled all over the street. He was arrested charged with assault and was fined s1 and costs and sentenced to 15 days in jail in the city court to- day.
