Children‘s Day.
Children's Day at the Methodist church
is one of the brightest and most joyous
of the year. and last Sunday was on ex
ception. It being the centennial year of
the founding of Methodism in this coun-
try. the services wore a sort of review of
the history of the church. in which by
means, of responsive readings the gener-
al facts were stated. The singing was
fine by both school and choir. The ex-
ercise and singing by the infant classdw
serves special mention. The decorations
were verv pretty. consisting of potted
and cut flowers and plants. with a motto
extending across the choir gallery bear—
ing the inscription. ”Si—Centennial—

church. The mottoes of the occasion
were. “Suffer little children to come unto
me," and “Romano.“ combined. with
choice floral decorations. The pro-
gramme of varied recitatians. readings
and singing. engaged the close attention
of the congregation over an hour and a
half. The participation of many of tut->4
younger scholars of the school was the
special and attractive feature of the ocu-

On “'editesdny of last week. the Rose-
daiesof Bridgeport, visited the borough.
and after a close and exciting game de-
feated the local team by ascorc of it to 9.
The contest was witnissed bya fairsized
audience. Who heartily applauded the
line fielding of the visitors. The home
team out-batted their opponents. but
lost the game through fielding errors.
Two very pretty double plays were made
by the Rosedales in the Rd to 7th innings
respectively. Hart. the ‘lud baseman of
the visitors. made a brilliant catch of a
hot liner. and by quickly fielding the
hall to 1st base. retired a runner. thus
effmdinga double play which drew loud
applause from the spectators. Grace and
l‘artrick were batting for the home club.
and did some admirable work. On Thurs-
dav afternoon. the Quicksteps and Stars
of Norwalk.played upon the fairgrounds.
Although the game was advertised to
t‘Jrlllllt‘lM‘t‘ promptly at three o‘clock.
owing to a dispute in regard to a player
whom both sides wished to retain. the
game was delayed until after four. The
contest was one-sided front the start. the
Stars out—batting and out-fielding the
Quickstcps. At the fourth inning. the
score stood ‘36 to -l in favor of the Stars.
At this time. all the catchers of the
Quickstcps being disabled. by permission
of their opponents. the former club se~
cured Hickey of the Good Lacks. Dur-
ing the fifth inning. the players of the
Qaickstcps indulged in so much grum’
bling that the captain of the stars finally
called his men from the field. a most sen-
sible idea as the game was becoming
siiiiplv it farce. The umpire then
awarded the game to the Quicksteps by
a score of 9 todt-a decision. however.
which was nonsensical. as the Stars
Could have claimed the game from the
moment that. the Quicksteps took a fresh
player into the game without retiring
the player who was injured. A new
pitcher was put in by the Quickstepo .III
the mind inning. but was laid otl'. giv-
place to Grace. The feature of the game
was the fine short playing of Geo. Bying~
ton.
