Euchre Parity

Grime as Played in the
Norwallt Armory.lastNight.
by Two Hundred People in
Aid of tile Hospital—Many

' Handsome Prizes

The armory presented a brilliant
scene last night. the occasion being the
military euchre party. given for the
benefit of the Norwalk Hospital. under
supervision of the Visiting Board. The
ladies are confident that a very sub
stantlal sum has been cleared for the
worthy institution for whose benefit it
was given. There were. about 200 play-
ers and in addition to this there were
many who viewed the games from the
gallery.

dverythtug was done with military
precision. the whole effect being excel-
lently carried out. The tables. or forts
as they were known. occupied the
greater part. of the big armory floor.
The forts were divided into sections
and as each fort won a victory, a pen-
nant was allowed.

The highest honors went to table
No. it; of section E. That fort won
sixteen games and at the close. conse-
quently. had that number of pennants
to show for their good playing. The
defenders of the fort were Dr. and Mrs.
Winfield H. Baldwin and Miss Alice
Cole and James Earle.

in addition to whatever financial suc-
cess the party attained. it was highly
successful as a social event. The game,
was given by F. D. Swancy. of Brook-
lyn. who has a copyright on it. He will
give. it again next week at the Well»
Ilorf-Astorla Hotel. New York ”city.
where he presented it only a few days
ago.

Last. evening several of the young-
est students at Major E. ii. Baker’s
Connecticut Military Academy in East
avenue acted as pages. these being
Prentiss Lingnn. Otto Peterson, Wil-
liam Wood. Franklin Bishop. Alix
Godillot. Louis Doscher. Ely Raymond.

Henry M. Perry, and Company F's
drummer John Radcliffe. and the pag-
es began the marth fro
hall to a position on the
the floor. the players hating previous-
ly been conducted to the forts by the

 

pages.
Mr. SWAIIey briefly explained the
rules of the. game and then at the

sound of the. trtlmpet. playing started.
Then ended with the drum taps and
bugle. Ten games were played. seven
minutes being allowed for each game.
with three minutes for the change.

That the, game was very enjoyable.
was instancetl by the many expressions
of approval heard.

ing order:
