Lovers of the fine points of base ball
should not fail to be on Union Park,
Thursday afternoon and witness the game
between the business men of Main street
and the business men of Wall street.
There has been for some time considerable
rivalry’ between these two streets in the
matter of base ball playing and considera-
ble sport has been the outcome. Now that
the two clubs have organized we trust they
may become permanent, for the season at
least. Would’it not be a good idea for
some wide-'awake merchant to a suitable
prize for a series of games in order to
keep the excitement and furnish sport for
all. ' Such an offer would prove a . good
advertisement for the merchant and at the
same time encourage the players and keep
up the sport. .

" Accident On The Sound.

Grdunds, Saturday,lby a score 0‘ 18 t0 3- latter boat was cut through the guards cemetery. .
and a bad break made in her hull, while
Thursday, in default of a fine of $5 and the “City of Norwalk” had her “stem” Capt. H. p. Burr’s last Thursday evening,
. broken and a hole 2x4 stove in her how.
The particulars of the accident as told by
The “Children of Mary," the “Divine Captain PeCk 0f the “City" are 83 101- ment forapart of the evening, and later
lmvs:
The "propeller was just off Hunter’s
Point and a strong flood tide was running.
The ferry boat “Garden‘ City” had just
come out on her slip and in order to
escape colliding with her, Captain Peck
was obliged to go between her and
Hunter’s Point. While just opposite and
near the shore, the “Suffolk," instead of
waiting for the propeller to pass, came
out of her slip and blew one whistle to
signify that she would run across the
”City’s" bows. Captain Peck at once

to ascertain the amount of injury done
either to herself or the propeller. The
latter, after it was found that she was not
seriously injured, continued on her trip
and arrived at her dock here only fifteen
minutes behind time. Saturday morning
the damage was repaired and the boat will
continue her trips as usual. The officers
of the company lay all the blame on the
ferry boat, claiming that the latter should
have waited in her slip for the propeller to
pass, as with the tide running as it was,
it was impossible to cross ahead of her.
The damage to the propeller amounted to
only about $25 but to the ferry host it
must have been much greater. ‘
