to know better, and had :3 narrow escape

something to hold onto, to keep from going

The “first regular trip over me Wmn'k
pauk extension of the horse railroad was
made early Monday morning. Of cameo
aGAZETTE reporter was on board to see
the inauguration of the new departure,
having sat up all night in order to be up
early in the morning. The bob-stall car
began to fill up with passengers immedi-
ately after it left the depot and picked up
people all the way to the fair grounds.
Ou Pudding Lane a bevy of young ladies
boarded the car just for: the glory of hav.
log it go down to their possible posterity
that they rode over the extension in the
first scheduled car that ever made the trip.
Major Holmes got aboard simply to en-
courage the enterprise and to smoke a
cigar with Joe Handle at. me terminus.
Brad Keithstepped on and paid his five
cents to ride about as far as from me to
you and to assure the other passengers
that the women along the line who were
sticking their heads out of the windows to
see the first car, had been out of bed an
hour earlier than they usually get up, in
order not to miss it. Joe Randle awaited
the pioneer chariot on the stoop of his
store, wrenthed in smiles and cigar smoke.
J oc will not as a sort of train dispatcher at
the north end, and at his well appointed
and square dealing emporium of dry goods, 4
notions and general groceries, will “wel-
come lhe coming, and speed the parting‘
guests.” The track is in good condition,
the grades easy and the curves not sharp.
There are three switches on the line; most
of the cars pass on the center switchl
The running time is forty minutes for the
round trip, which could be easily shorten;
ed to thirty minutes. The line ,is well
patronized and there can be no doubt that
it willbe a paying investment.

the ninth inning, however, the Bridgeport-

run, inching a tie and necessitating a tenth
inning. In this inning the right. fielder of
the Norwalks relaxed his vigilance in the
field and allowed a couple of fly balls lo
pass him, thus letting the Bridgeporlers
score two more runs and win the game by
a score of 7 to 5, as a courteous recognition
of the “Post printers’ ” consideration in
putting themselves to so much "cubic

ball players Whom the Norwslkers would
find “focmen worthy of their steel," and
thus insuring a game so close as to be
interesting both to the players and specie»

spectator at the close of the game that “if
the Norwalkers could hold down the
Bridgeport Post printers’ nine of picked
professionals so easily and so closely, they
would simply have had a picnic with the
Bridgeport Post p‘rimers’ nine of Biidgc—
