no match for their Philadelphia opponents.
The game opened at $40 o'clock, with Quick

five runs. This lead they easily increased till
the close of the game.
Although the score is uneven the game was
quite interesting, and some fine playing was
done by both mines. Brady's splendid fly catch

THE CHAMPION GAME OF CHECK
ERs.-Mr. David Miller, the cham
pion checker player of West Liberty,
arrived here on Monday for the pur-
pose of having little contest on the
field of squares, according to previous
arrangement. He first engaged in a
little skirmish with Mr.. George Con-
way, which resulted in the retreat Of
Mr.. G. with his forces not in the best
Of order. Tie fact is, George can't
stand grief; and so, although he
maintained the honor of the burgh
pretty well through the first few
games, when his opponent began to
get little ahead and the bystanders
INDUCED in little banter he went
up altogether and Miller had walk
over for the rest Of the way-the
score of forty games standing twenty
two for Miller, eleven for Conway
and seven draws. But after having
thus amused himself, Mr.. Miller pro-
ceeded to actual business by sitting
down on the other side Of a checker
board from VIM. Dean. Here the
result proved that the parties were
yet more unequally matched than
before, Mr.. Dean winning twenty
eight out of fifty-three games, while
his opponent scored twelve and
thirteen were drawn.
Mr.. Miller is perfect gentleman
and a good checker player; but as
we told our over-confdent friends of
the West Liberty Enterprise long
ago, Upton is too heavy for you.
We believe Messrs. Miller and Dean
intend playing return game some
time soon at West Liberty.

THE faith is in us that the farmers
Of Cedar county are going to turn
out en- naasse to our county Fair this
fall and bring with them much stock
and innumerable products Of the
field, garden, dairy, loom, etc.-thus
making the exhibition come more
nearly than ever up to the true stand
ard. There never was such a de-
mand for the premium lists; every
body wishes q copy, and we believe
they mean to use them and improve
the opportunity offered to have a
pleasant time, see something worth
seeing and carry off about enough
premium money to pay all expenses.
There's hardly a family in the county
that car not do this if they try. If
one thing will not catch a premium
another will, and it costs nothing to
enter them for competition.
