NEW CANAA‘N'S HOSPITALITY.
How II II Dispensed on The Ridge. as
Told by “Rhea."
”Illicit." writing for the New lluvvn
Lender, tells of u visit to the home of
Mrs, Alexander. in New Canaan. She
says:
Mrs. Alexander Is a member of Mrs.
Kinney's State Council of l). A. 11..
and is a devoted adherent and admirer
of the State regent. She poescsaes
good judgment and an open, frank na-
ture. which make her of distinct
value in positions of responsibility.
She is a Virginian, which is always
equivalent to saying that "She has a
pleasing personality." Mr. Alexander
is in Wall street, and five years ago
built an elegant colonial home in New
Canaan, in which he resides with his
family the greater part of the year,
going and coming from New York as
business pcrmlts. They spend their
winters at the Chelsea. in New York.
Their house is situated in the midst
of extensive grounds, and the VIi‘W is
delightful from the broad veranda.
which is furnished with rugs, chairs,
tables and divans.
The ground is high for the locality,
and if there. is any air stirring, it al-
ways finds its way to this beautiful
spot.
The house, is modeled after a South-
ern colonial resilience, with a broad.
long entrance hall from which stairs
lead directly to another hall of similar
dimensions above, Both are furnished
With choice colonial pieces, many of
which Mrs. Alexander has procured in
Virginia, although a large number are
family heirlooms. From the right of
the hall is the music room, which opens
at the rear Into a magnificent dining-
room, fitted with old colonial side-
boards. and silver pieces arranged in
an antique corner cupboard and other
effective places.
It is an ideal room, and connoisseurs
would need to be constantly reminded
of the commandant, "Thou shalt not
cove ."
0n the left of the entrance is the
library, filled with bookcases and well-
selected contents. The guests' cham—
ber is a perfect reproduction of a sit-elk
ing room of a century and more ago.
with its tail tour poster, canopy, and
its homespun cover-let, the walls cov-
ered with landscape paper, the brass
candlesticks and brass bundled high-
boy.
0n the floor is a rag-carpet rug, in
harmony with the fittings, and not onc
modern thing is to be detected. in all
the other rooms. the old—time idea pro-
vails and there is very little suggestive
of modern furnishing, although all the
modern inventions are introduced
which make for comfort.
Rare tables, lowboys, chests. drop
loaf tables, curious old bureaus. stands,
chairs. ornaments, grandfather’s clock,
etc, have been gathered together by
the mistress of this beautiful home and
arranged with perfect taste and an eye
to the fitness of things. Each article
is the most perfect of its kind.
Mrs. Alexander has secured three
hand. woven spreads, the rarest which
hands long since dust have left to pos-
terity. On one is woven these words:
“Liberty and lndemndencc.“ with the
name of the busy weaver and the date.
The pattern is elaborate, and the pred-
ent owner will have it made into porv
tieres. She has already used one
spread in this way with excellent ef—
fect in her drawing room.
The third one graces the bed in the
guest chamber, Open fireplaces. an
open house, and an open heart, are
among the other attractions of this
charming summer home. To it Mrs.
Klinney, the state regent, goes for a
the note 0. true hospitality when she
says to her guests, "Do just exactly
what you wish, If you wish to walk.
walk; if you wish to ride, ride; it you
wish to sleep, sleep. for this is liberty
hall, and we do as we please." Mrs.
Alexander has her married daughter
and Miss Alexander with her for the
summer. '
“The Ridge," in New Canaan, is the
fashionable thoroughfare, and on it are
residences of the New York colony
nearly all of whom spend the warmer
months of the year there, but migrate
to New York, Europe or the South in
the winter.
It is easy of access to the city for the
business own and the air is very
pure and agreeable, being something
oi a combination of country and sea.
the Sound being six or eight miles
away, but the saltness therefrom blow-
ing in to some extent when the wind
is: right.
New Canaan is surely a land of
promise. and we who saw it yesterday
under blue skies and sunshine were
convinced that they who live there
have their lines cast in pleasant places.

FIR8T BASEBALL GAME.
Rpportet; Found It Necessary to Give
Some Primary. Information.
"The first newspaper report of a
baseball game that I remember read.
ing was an account at a game played
It Hoboltcm. N.- 1.. In 1859, writer:
James 1... Steele. in Outing. it appear-
ed in an illustrated weekly.j_and was
such a novel and interesting jevont
that the yacht: gave a donblep’age ti-
inxtration: '
twoiiiy-Iwus" with commendable rog-
ularity. We had evoled a game from
the old English “roundere,” which
a high old game It was.
it may harp Ilium the "luuuors of
which was as follows:
"Baseball dlilf‘l's from rrlrkci, m—
pt‘rlully in there being no wickets.
‘l‘hu but is held high in the air. WIN‘II
the ball has been struck, the ‘outs'
try to catch it. in which case the
striker is 'out‘, or. If they cannot do
this. to strike the striker with it when
he is running, which likewise puts
him ‘out'.
"Illl-llt'fltl of wickets, there are, at
this game. four or live marks l'ZIIII'lI
bases, one of which, being the one at
which the striker stands. is called
‘hoine,’
"As at cricket. the point ol‘ the
game is to make lIit’ luoui rims be
tween bases: the party which counts
the most runs wins the day."
The fact that. the reporter thought
it necessary to explain how the mmc
was played indicates the extent - _ ‘
publlc’s knowledge of baseball at that
time, and even he wasn‘t quite sure
whether there were four bases or five.
When he says a base runner may be
put out by hitting him with the hell
he makes no mistake. for that was an
actual fact. and it was considered, a
good play on the part of a base run-
ner to draw a throw from the. pitcher.
for usually the runner would dodge
the throw and gambol around the
bases, while the fleldcrs were hurry-
ing after the ball. The rule was
abolished as soon as the game became
popular. for a baseman, instead of
touching a runner with the ball, would
often "soak" him at short range. which
generally brought forth unprlniable rc-
niarks from the uonkcc.
Tllt' artist, in llluutruiiug this game,
was not far behind the reporter. The
picture shows us several hundred
spectators. and. with the exception of
a few ladies and gentlemen seated in
carriages. the onlv person sitting
down in the entire. assemblage is the
umpire: and. Ill-i if to show the per-
fect, tranquillity of his mind and his
contempt for foul tips. ho lcaus~gracc-
fully back in his chair with his legs
crossed. The basemcn, instead of
"playing off." are standing. each with
one foot on his base, and a base run-
ner is “glued to third." although the
pitchcrls about to deliver the ball. In
short. the general aspect of the field
is enough to give a modern baseball
captain nervous prostraiion.
