The passing of Miss Lillian R. John- son brings to a close a life of singu- lar sweetness and beaut. of late years delicate health had curtailed her participation in many activities in which she was deeply in- terested, but it did not prevent the tan; le expression of her sympathies, for she delighted in generously con- tributing to further the good works of her church and her quiet ministra- tions to the sad or suffering or needy, are known only to the recipients, “She did the little kindnesses 4 Which most leave undone or despise, For naught which sets one heart at case 4And giveth happiness or peace Was low esteemed in her eyes.” Her rare refinement of nature found expression in the devoted study of art, which was, for many years, her ab- sorbing interest. She was a loyal member of the Broadway Congregational church and its interests were dear to her heart; but it is in her home, and in the fam- ily circle, where the ties were pecu- liarly close, that her loss will be most ieenly felt. Miss Johnson was born in New Jer- sey, where she resided until after the death of her father, Samuel Hyde Johnson, when the family removed to Norwich and made their home with Mr. and Mrs. Othniel Gager, the par- ents of Mrs_ Johnson. Miss Johnson is survived by her aged mother, her sister, Mrs, Abbie Speeler, and her brother, Frederick Johnson. The family had a summer home, Sur Top, in Franklin, and in that ancient town, the church and other interests were generously aided by Miss Johnson in her characteristic, un- ostentatious way.

Cassidy. “Doc” Cassdly, however, had the satisfaction of bring- ing the first run in for his team when he ran for “Doc” Brophy, whose wind was all gone, after two hard sprints %nfli near catches of tall flies in left Geld. Two of the unusual features were Bob Fletcher's slide to second that caused him to retire amid a screen of friendly players and finishk the game in overalls, and a foul tip from Rev. Wyckoff's bat that caught Catcher Pendleton in the Adams apple. Right after this Rev. Wyckoff caught the only fly that any outfielder in the game laid his hands on. A _magnificent floral basket, donated by Reuter, was presented to the win- ning team and was in turn taken to the Backus hospital by Captain Noyes, The box score which follows shows what a lot of heavy hitting was done for the winners, by Fletcher, McClaf- ferty, Noyes and Nickerson, and by athewson, Thompson, Shields and Doc” Gildersleeve for the losers, Businoss Men Professional Men hps el ab po & e 29 0 O|HFristlec 5 26 2 0 40 2 ofMatndb2 3 2 4 3 1 3700 20000 21 2 of 23p2 1 3 30 31 4 0 s 50ty 4 11 1{W.Shieldsef1 1 0 0 0 4000 11000 100 of GETa 2 o e 00 0 ofWyckoftaf 1 0 1 0 0 100 ofThen.ibd 4 2 7 0 0 1000 1000 10 9 1 13 innings: Fletcher, Giidersieeve.
