 To Richards Grove Via Trolley.
 At 245 the delegates in two special cars went to Richards Grove where athletic activities were enjoyed. The feature of the entertainment was the boxing exhibitions which were certain ly of a high quality.
 The first match was between Bar ney keenan. Dugilist of the local force and Policeman Gaffney, pride of the New London bluecoats. They battled for three rounds and were nearly even Barney having the shade the better on his opponent.
 The next bout between Young Win ters of Norwich and Young Gaffney of New London, bid fair to be a whirl- wind. each boy being out for blood Winters was too strong for his man and in aboutsa minute of hard fight ing had him groggy up against the ropes where with several blows to the jaw sent him to dreamland.
 The Main Bout
 The main match of the afternoon was battle royal from the first tap of the gong to the end of the six rounds. Doyle although outweighed by PaHtz put up a strong offensive game but. fought rather openly. Palitz did not let himself out until the last round when he and Doyle stood in the middle of the ring and exchanged blow for blow with hghtninglike rapid ity Young Doyle showed in his ex- hibition that he has the makings of an Al fighter and needs only a little more ring seasoning to put him up among the first raters.
 The bout between Sullivan and Ladd was good one, each having an even chance.
 After the boxing the men were served refreshments and other forms of entertainment were enjoyed.
