RAsE BALL.
Match Game at Princeton. Yesterday.

According to the appointment, the
newly organized nine. of this city,
under mo Name" played with a
Princeton nine, yesterday, in the lat
ter city, about twenty five persons &C :
companying the players.
The weather was so intensely hot,
aud playing was so laborious, that
only six innings were played; yet not
withstanding this fact the play was
very brilliant. Only two balls were
mufed by the mo Names" Two
hot flies" were taken by Roach and
Harry Dexter, but only one double
play was made. The pitching of Mr..
M. f. Greene was very effective aRd
deceptive, and the playing, all round,
was unusually good.
The boys returned last evening in
high spirits and full of ambition to
play the best nine in the State, and
speaking in high terms of the treat
ment they received in Princeton
particularly of their entertainment al
the American House. The Club, which
has only temporarily adopted Nc

next meeting. The officers of the
Club are: Hebe Ingle, President
Thos. Sorenson, Vice President, and
Ed. K. Wheeler, Jr., Secretary. The
Club Rooms are, for the present, a

a REMINEsoENoE.-At the session
of the County Commissioners yester-
day, when the question of the proper
location Of the New Harmony road
was being considered. the records not
being perfectly clear to the minds of
the Commissioners, Messrs. j. w.
Henson and John Shanklin, two of
the oldest citizens, were requested to
confer with the Commissioners, and
assist. by their memory, in pointing
out its proper location.
In searching the records as far back
as 1918 to 1920, these old gentlemen
came upon many sad membranes of
days gone by. in the names of those
who, in that early day, had helped to
build what is now a populous city,
but who have long been numbered
with the dead.

CEMETERY RoADs.-The special
committee of three from the Common
Council, appeared before the Board
of County Commissioners, yesterday
morning, to confer with them about
the improvement of the roads leading
to the cemeteries from the city.
Mr.. Carpenter of the Committee of
the Council. argued at considerable
length in favor of adopting.the canal
route to Oak Hill, grading and
widening the same to a width of one
hundred and twenty-five to one hun
dred and fifty feet. He maintained
that it was not the city's duty. it was
the duty of the Commissioners to i'm
prove all roads, and advocated the is
suing of road bonds for the purpose,
but he was opposed to the singing
out of the present road for improve
ment. (The Petersburg State road, is
the one referred to-
Mr.. Philip Decker, President of
the County Commissioners, replied
that he was not opposed to the canal
road; on the contrary he had been a
Committee of the Common Council
to lay it out sixty feet wide. and the
Commissioners had granted viewers
to examine the road. and had just &C.
eepted and approved their report in
favor of it. Part Of the proposed
road, however, is under fence, and no
one has right to disturb it before
November next. Under the most
favorable circumstances it would be
impossible to have a road there the
coming winter. To make good road
it would have to be graded and trav-
eled over a couple of years, to make
it solid enough to retain gravel when
put on it. If he lived until the pro
posed canal road was opened and
ready for improvement, he would
heartily support any measure to do so.
As regarded Mr.. Carpenters asser-
ton that the county ought to do
more on the roads. he would say that
in 1866 he found the lower road,
Franklin Street, Fulton Avenue and
the Blue Grass Roads subject to con
slant overfows. Those roads had
been improved. aud they had rot
been overlooked since that time. He
regarded it as the duty of the city to
build the roads to the cemeteries, as
the cemeteries were city property;
but as the county derived benefit,
he believed it fair to share the ex-
pense.
The committee then exchanged
views with the Commissioners, rather
Informally. the result of which was
a general agreement to accept the
: offer of the county to bear half the
expense of graveling the Petersburg
Road to Oak Hill. and the Locust
Hill Road, fifteen feet wide, and
twelve inches deep Of gravel to be
laid on each.

TAX MATTERs.-By the records of
the Board of County Commissioners,
it appears that the county assessment
for the present year will be, 70 cents
on one hundred dollars. The assess
ment for the E., G. & P. Railroad is
20 cents on the hundred dollars; for
bonds coming due. 10 cents. and for
interest on bonds, B cents.
For township. individual and bonds
the assessment is ten cents per hun
dred dollars less, and the county as
sessment ten cents-less than they
were last year-a reduction of twenty
cents per hundred dollars, exclusive
of the assessment for the E., G. & P.
Railroad, which cannot be reduced.
To effect this reduction, the great
est economy had to be practiced. the
courts and paupers alone costing over
