 Tine Nameless B. B. c. has reorgani- zed and played two games with the North. field Red Gaps. The first was at North field. on Saturday afternoon, and resulted in victory of the Nameless on the very close score of II to 10. On Monday the return game was played at the Fair ground in this village. giving the victory to the Nameless on a score of 24 to 2. The Nameless players were the three Richards brothers, three Mowers, Hubbard. Me- Neill and Stearns. The pitching of E. Mower, especially on Monday, was very effective, and the catching of Hubbard was good. Geo. Richards played second base, and batted with his usual success; and the whole nine played well through out. Of the Nerthfeld club the Didsbu.- ry brothers caught and pitched well; Geo. Pickett, third baseman, made very re- markable catch of hot fly; and their left fielder took a long fly very neatly.
 Mir. Daniels concert, Wednesday eye- ming, the. 11th, was entirely successful, both musically and financially. The at- tendance was good and the programme. which was little less classical than that given last year. was most favorably receiv- ed. All the numbers were carefully select ed aud were performed with an attention to detail and evident desire to properly render the various compositions which re- fleets great credit upon all concerned. Indeed, the writer can truly say that he has often heard professional artists, whose efforts were much less enjoyable than were those of the Litchfeld Sextet Club and its able coadjutors. ...s. .... .~
 Mrs. Vessels sang admirably, and the Ave Maria. with the delicate string &C., compartment, was really a gem in it's way. Mrs w. sang twice and recelved the compliment of an encore in each in. stance. Iu response to these she sang Schuberts watersong. and a ballad by Mr.. Daniels. entitled "My Love is like the red, red, rose" MT. Daniels played Polonaise by Chopin and, in response to an encore, gave the 1.-TWO Larks" which Mme. Essipoff so frequently played in her New York concerts. The performance of the andante from Raff Trio (which was eyond all question the best number of the programmed was excellent. as was also that of the nocturne for Piano and Cello (composed by Mir. Daniels) played by Mir. Hickox and the author. Mir. H. never upon any public occasion played better than in this nocturne; his lowing was excellent. his playing intelligent and his tone exceedingly pure. clear, and best of all, sympathetic. The orchestral numbers were all good, but perhaps the best appreciated were the well known Wedding March (arranged for the Sextet Club by one of it's members) and the scherzo from the Fesca Sextet Te this. as also stq.tha Wedding March. had been added cornet and triangle parts, thus making very fine effect. The Piano Duo -aportion ola symphony by Raf, was quite effective and of course well played.
 Theclub has just reason to congratu- late itself apon its efficiency and the yri- ter sincerely hopes that a prosperons fu- ture lies before it.
