The lack of conspicuous rivalries among candldates for, places i on the state ticket accounts for the {small interest in the caueus. As far }u is known there willibe no contests for delegates unless the caucus is divided on the matter of favoring a partfcular candidate for the senatdrial ination.

Now for a few details about -lthe row. - A crowd of Berlip fellows \ent over to the game with: the intention ot playing with the Beckley ‘team. When' they reached the Polo groutids | {ney found, -to their ' dismay; . that | BecKley had acceptéd the services ‘af some ball-tossers from New Britain. 'Hence the inter-community, feud that followed. Every time the umpire calléd “Foul ball,” ‘one of the Berlin felows would grab the ball 1and a fifteen minute hunt would result. Be- { fore the game was half ovgr two balls » { had been heaved into the river. Sev- ! eral fist fights were indulged in with [ nmre orylessidamage to faelal beauty.
