It was a disappointed and disgusted
aggregation of “sports," that alighted
from the 7:30 train in South Norwalk,
yesterday morning, and silently stole
,awayfotheir homes. They had left
town the previous night with high hopes
at being spectators at what they had an-
ticipated would be one of the clever-est
exhibitions of the manly art ever seen
in "I.“ new .
The principals were to have been
"Dutch" Monahan, of Norwalk, and
Bruce Nordahy, of Stamford. There
. was shout thirty men in the South Nor-
with party, and after knocking about
Stamford until 2 o‘clock Sunday morn—
ing, they boarded the steamer "Wonder"
andasmall schooner she had in tow,
where were found about two hundred
men of sporting proclivities from Stam-
ford and surrounding lawns. The boats
started, and had proceeded possibly half
a mile in Stamford harbor, when the
captain vouchsafed the not altogether
pleasing information that “the steamer
I wasstnck inthe mud," and then soon
afterward the statement that “some
gravel had got into the machinery and
broken a part of it.” Then came apouud-
lag and a portion of the engine was taken
apart.
After an hour or two of waiting, with
nothing to do but drink beer, of which
there appeared to be an endless supply,
the affair began to get monotonous and a
crowd surrounded Jack Moran, of Stam-
ford, Nordahy's backer and the financier
of the party, and began clamoring for
the return of their 32. This rather stag-
gered :Moran. He was sharp enough,
however. tones that he could not give
everyone $2 and come out even himself,
for ’tis said there were quite a number
of dead heads on board, and several who
had notpaid $2 or half that sum to get
on the boats.
Frequently the attention of the crowd
was turned from Moran to free-for-ail
scraps about the boats, and “Dutch,"
who was never in better condition or
’moro ms y, would issue a challenge to
Nordahy 0 have the fight where they
were, but that the latter was losing enn-
fldcnce in himself was plainly seen, and
he had any number of excuses to offer.
At5130 o‘clock the captain said, “We
will put on double pressure and take you
ashore," and although the tide was low-
er than when he reported the boat
grounded, no difficulty was experienced
in getting off.
It issaid that Moran collected about
“0, and not one cent of this have the
backers of “Dutch” seen. it is under-

to decide what shall be done.

LACERATED HIS LEG.
A Hartford Man Badly Injured While
Jumping from a Freight 'Iraln.
When Conductor O‘Brieu's east hound
freight, extra No. 10. reached the Monroe
l street crossing. about 7:30 last evening, a
man stepped from between two of the
cars, and attempted to jump off. in
some way he slipped, and his right foot
went under the wheels, while his leg was
terribly lacerated by being caught on the
truck and box of the car.
The flesh was peeled off from the thigh
. down, and the man was also somewhat
hurt by striking the signal on top of a
switch. The train was stopped, and
while willing hands went to the unfor‘
tunale feliow's lid, the stretcher was
brought from the baggage room and
physicians were summoned. 0n the ar-
rival of Du. Burke and Allen, an exam-
ination of the man's injuries was made
wdths ambulance sent for. The man
was Martin Frsr‘sden, and said
he lived in Hartford, which city he was
sudsavorlng to resell. lie has a brother
living at 7 Church street. in that city. A
friend, who gave his name as Peder

morning. The physicians amputated the

. PATRIOTIC SERVICES.
lorwaih and South Namath Pastors Draw
Lessons from the Approaching floilday' ,
A practical application of the thought
that Christ has a great work for this
country to do, was the theme on
which. ReV. R. O. Sherwood based his
discourse in the South Norwaieraptiet
church, yesterday morning. It wa ascen-
tinuance of his first sermon in theseries
on the “Kingdom of God Among Men."
He made special reference to the vast-
ness of the influence of America in the
various walks of life, the place it holds
in the world of inventions, commerce
and all the evidences of the abilities of
the Anglo-Saxons. He said that all
planned for us would be fulfilled in the
fullness of time. The facts stated all
event to “show that we as a Christian pec ;
pin are living in a country of especial
use to us and in which we have ample
opportunity to cow and reap rich harvrsn
for the master. In the evening the pas-
tor preached from Deuteronomy xxvili.,
18. His sermon treated of the territorial
greatness of our land. After several
comparisons of our country with Euro-
pean countries, Great Britain and Aus-
tralia, Mr. Sherwood said, “But what
use is all this to us? if we have not a
government which the people try to up:
hold; if we allow the many sinful occur-
rence: to continue, what real benefit is
afforded us or our fellow beings, a great
homeland but void of the essentials of
right living. Sabbath desecration has
become a common thing. Places whcse
sole object is to make money kcep open
doors seven days in the week, unmindful
of the fact that Christ knew {gadget he
spoke when he said, “Six days shalt thou
labor and do all thy work, but the Sah-
bath is the Lord thy God’s; in it thou
shalt do no work.’ ” Special aims was
laid upon the fact that often these busi—
nesses are carried on by men who hold
others in the church. If 621 has cest
our lines in such pleasant places, gIven
usvsuch a goodly heriatage, ought not
we to strive to conform to his laws, obey
his commandments and so serve himbet-
ter, making this great country of ours is
glorious field for his work? Reference
was made to the fast approaching holiday
as a day set apart to commemorate and
celebrate a true gift of God.
South Norwaik Congregational.
The young people's meeting and the
evening service at the South Norwalk
Congregational church, yesterday, were
national and patriotic. Both the lecture
room and the pulpit were artistically
decorated with flags. The subject of the
Christian Endeavor meeting was “What
has Christianity done for our Country "’
It was led by Mrs. H. E. Hoyt. Many
spoke on various phases of the subject.
Dr. Board's sermon in the evening was
"Christian Citizenship," and he chose for
his text Rtmaua xiv., 7: “For none of us
Iiveth to himself, and no man dieth to
himself." Dr. Beard-spoke of the need
of good citizens; of the fact that many
men who considered themselves good
Christians were not good citizens.
"Christianity exl'ntls to all. firings in
human life, public and private. Only
the dull Christian fails to understand
that." lie further told of our depend-
ence upon one another and bow impossi-
ble it was for us to live isolated lives.
Because of this fact each one of us ought
t) be gold Christian citizens. for upon
each one of us to the measure of our in-
fluence depends the destiny of the us
lion. llr. Beard defined patriotism, say-
ing that flying flags and shooting over
the graves of dead heroes is not patriot.
ism. Are we living for ourselves or for
our Country? In answering this question
we can truly tell whether we are patriots
or not. Our patriotism must vindicate
itself in our own town. If all had a true
patriotic spirit there would be no delay
in building acentral high school, there
would be more value placed in public
education. there would beagreater in—
terest in public improvement and sec-
tlonal jealousy would be throunsrldc.
The singing by the choir and congregation
was very appropriate. Rev. A. F. Beard
assisted at the communion service in the
morning and several persons were ad-
mitted to membership in the church.
Norwaih Methodist.
At the Norwalk Methodist church,
yesterday morning, Mr. Wyatt received
eleven members into the church, bap-
tired three persons and one child, and
administered to a large number the Holy
Communion. in the evening his theme
was "The Battle of Gilboa." This was
afransdy in five acts. Act lwss the
gathering and march of the Philhtiue
hosts. Act if, the assembling of the

Faith in God and obedi-
ence of God lead us to a better throne
and richer crown.
First Methodist Episcopal.
At the First Methodist church in the
evening, the decorations betokened the
patriotic character of the services. Na-
tional flags were prettiiy arranged around
the pulpit and choir gallery, and the
choir was augmented by the singers of
the Epworth League. Preceding the
regular service several selections were
sung from leaflets of “imperial Songs,"
andaviolin solo was rendered by Mr.
Sebastian. The congregation joined
heartily in the singing. The sermon
was the first in a series of four to be do
livered during July, and was upon
”Patriots in the Saddle,” the theme be-
ing the characteristics of the men of the
Revolution. These were grouped in
three points—their ability, their godliness
and their unselfishness. Under these
heads appropriate illustrations were
given of the men of "ill and contrasted
with the ruling element of today. The
services were closed with the grand old
anthem, “America.”
Norwalh Baptist.
At the Norwalk Baptist church, yester-
day, the Rev. F. E. Robbins preached
two suggestive and interesting sermons.
In the morning his theme was "Religion
in Dollars and Cents.” The principles
advanced were that there is as much de-
votion to be displayed by our pocket
books as in our prayers. in the evening
the sermon was especially devoted to the
Naval Cadets of the church. The sub-
ject was "What Shall we do With the
Boys?" Their education depends, he
said, not so largely upon their Sunday
school teacher as upon their parents.
Norwalk Congregational.
At the Norwalk Congregational church,
yesterday morning, the hour was devob
ed to Holy Communion, reception of
members, a responsive service with im-
pressive music by the choir, and a brief
address by the pastor. The following
persons were received into the church:
Mrs. 0. Herbert Daniels, Anna Belle
Rider, S. Louise Sutton, Matthew How-
ard Gregory and Percy M. Glendenning-
in the evening the pastor contmued his
lectures on Pilgrim’s Progress, taking up
the stage “From Vanity Fair to the
River of God."

SATURDAY'S BALL GAMES,
St. Josephs Defeat the South Norwallrs—
Parks Win from the Puclflcs.
A badly crippled team, and consequent
pour playing on the part of the home
club, lovt the fame between the South
Norwalks and St. Josephs, last Saturday.
Collins, who was to pitch for the South
Norwalas, was, on account of illness,
unshieto play. George Lauder entered
the box, but lost the use of his arm soon
after the game started, and this left the
club without any regular pitcher.
Clarence Hunt went into the box and did
remarkably well under the circum-
stances. Tammany and Welsh both re-
ceived injuries, which earned a general
changing around of players. Errors
were plentiful, and the score at the con-
clusion of the game stood eleven to four
in favor of the St. Josephs. It is prob-
able that anotuer game m“ be arranged
between the two clubs at an early date.

The Parks Defect the Pacific Athletics
The Norwalks played greet base ball at
the Norwalk Park. Saturday afternoon,
fairly annihilating the Pacific Athletics,
of Brooklyn. The score was 20 to 2 in
favor of the home team. in the fim
innings the Park team found the curves
of Pitcher Moore. of the Paciilcs, and
batted him terrificslly. The catcher
played well. but the fielding was poor,
and so many errors were made that the
team naturally booms disheartened.
The visitors could do nothing with Claus
and Shssbsn’s excellent battery work,
and if they did get a man on item be
was soon not through scientific team
work. The Norwalk players allowed the
visitors to get one run in each of the first
two innings. and then shut them out on.
