THE BRIDGEPORT TENNIS CLUB DEFEATS'NORWALK. Lovers of the Popular Game Wit- ness 8. Splendid Contest—Tne Score Now 23 to 7—The Last Meeting to Take PlacethlsAfternoon. Bridgeport’s Lawn Tennis club has every reason to feel proud of its play- ers’ work in the tournament with N or- walk. As stated, they defeated the N or- walks in the contest Wednesday. Yesterday afternoon the Bridgeport club came to Norwalk, accompanied by many friends and May’s banjo sextette which rendered sweet music while the players contested.

Merrill Business College. —One .of the most prominent Busi- ness Colleges of the New England states is the Merrill Business College of Stam- ford, Conn. The past ear has been one of the most successfu years of its his- tory. The number of graduates hast been far in excess of any previous year. ._- The college has remained open the' entire year, and is giving instruction to a large number of teachers and those unable to attend during the winter The demand for thorough account. ants, penmen, and stenographers, has been far in excess of the supply. The demand has been fer competent assist- ants not only versed in clerical educa- tion, ‘but literary. as well. For this reason the Merrill Business coming school vear, an Academic De- partment, the course of which will con- sist of thorough instruction in Ger- man, Architecture, Mathematics, Pen- manship, History, Commercial Law, En lish, Civil Government, etc. e fall term will begin Sept. 7, 1891.

Garrison; Everything Ready for Governor’s Day. A Great Time Expected. (Special to the GAZETTE.) CAMP WATSON, NIANTIC, Aug. 20.— We awoke this morning to find it foggy, but by 7 o’c10ck the sun had struggled out and a clear warm day Was the result. The boys are getting ready to start their annual Friday night racket, and a grand display of fireworks will take place. Quite an amusing, although common thing, where there are two girls in the case, happened to Private Randle. .In' writing to one of his best girls he got the letters mixed, and put the letter to his best girl in the envelope of his sec- ond best, and the letter to the second best in the envelope to the best girl. What the result will be we do not know, but the boys are all looking for a cir- cus. Corporal Radie forgot to provide himself with chewing gum before leav- ing home and has been on the sick list and unable to drill. Sergt. Honnecker is doing nobly in his new position and can’t drill enough to suit him. If what he tells the boys be true, he and the Governor are old chums. Captain ‘Rose and his truthful pug dog are enjoying camp life immensely. The pug makes a good sentinel, and guards his master faithfully. It has been circulated about the camp that our handsome Captain sleeps in his fatigue cap as a preventative against 5’ taking cold in his bald head, but of course the boys do not believe it. AsI wrote you before, Thomas Hunt is treading on dangerous ground. Early this morning a New London girl put in an appearance at camp and asked for “Tommy.” When our brave Thomas saw her he crawled out under the tent, and has been absent all day. Whatthe trouble'is we do not know, but if “Tommy” turns up in Norwalk before the company does you need not be sur- prised. _ Sergt. Wilcoxson and Scotty are just dying for a Grove House clam roast. They are fearful that Amzi will create a clam famine during their absence. We are looking for Captain Betts up to-morrow and when he arrives the boys will give him a send ofi'. X. +>——————— Shlppan. Our fellowtownsman Wm. B. Lock- wood, Esq. is just now engaged in the erection of another seaside cottage at Shippan Point, Stamford. The pecul- iarity about this location is that not on- ly is there a long and safe 'sand beach on the south, or Stamford harbor side, but on all sides of this pretty upland jutting out into the Sound, are to be found never failing springs of pure, ice cold water. How or from where it comes is a mystery, but the generalbe- lief is that the weight of the water in the Sound forces this cold fresh water up from some source of supply beneath the earth. Mr. Lockwood is now oc- cupying the cottage he erected there for his own use, some three years or so ago. VvA 7‘ The Races. ‘ The third day of the races drew . another large attendance yesterday. The 2:24 class, which was unfinished . the day before, Shipman having won two heats, was completed and won by Morrea; time 2:24}, 2:24}, 2:26}.

The special race, purse 8100, was won by A. H. Keeler’s McGar'rey; time 2;47, 2:42}, 2:41. The First Step.
