Our leading editor celebrated bis -
birthday yesterday in the usual manner
Late last night, while our senior was
doing away into another year, Captain
Freiberg's amateur serenaders swoke
him with sweet music, and in a short
time the usual toast, Here's to you
and your family; may you live long and
prosper" was duly attended to.
At the theater last night, during the
presentation Of Gay MAnnering, the heat
was almost intolerable, but the ladies,
who were there in force, handled their
fans with such vigor that the breeze
sounded like an approaching cyclone,
and gusts of heated air whirled hither
and thither. 1t takes the ladies to raise
a storm around the ears Of the sterasr
sex.
The Memphis Reds were again badly
beaten at Indianapolis yesterday by a
score Of I to O.. The Indianapolis club
is too strong for the Reds, this being the
third time the Reds suffered defeat al
their hands, the first time being in this
city when the Hoosier boys visited us.
The Reds, however, are badly crippled
owing to over work during their Northern
tour.
