Discord and sectional strife and animosity,
however subservient TO personal and PARTISAN
aspirations, are death TO this feeble, impov-

We are content with the common rights and

within the past few years that feeling of
security, contentment and tranquility, per

but because he is right. In honor they can do
no less. Mr. Hayes, in his action concerning

Yesterday was not what could bs called q
sportsmen's day at the rifle butts. and the Cres-
cent City boys had to endure some unhappy
misses, which were due entirely to the ohapgeful
wind and light. While the team was at the 800
yard mound the weather was favorable, and q
cool grey light, so much desired by rihemsn, WAS
present, with the wind showing changes ON the
dial Of 6:30 TO 0 o'clock. Before the team had
closed their rounds at the 300 yard target light
rain fell, which was followed by heavy shower,
stopping the shooting for time.
When the team went TO work at 900 yards the
wind increased in strength, shifting from to
o'clock, and proved to be very troublesome.
Wind gauges had to be changed with evory shot,
and some hazardous guessing INDUCED In. This
continued until o'clock, with the light varying
considerably. .4.
During the practice MIR. James Buckley acted
as captain Of the team.

BASE BALL.

The Quickstep suffered another defeat on
Saturday afternoon. from the Chester Club,
who, although they were far inferior play
ers, succeeded In defeating our boys, on &C.
count of few errors on their part. The
rame, on account of the late arrival Of the
Chester Club, did not commence until 4.30
O'Clock. The playing of the Quicksteps up
to the 9th inning was very good, the pitch
ing of Morris being too much for the Ches-
tor boys, who struck out successfully, and
no to that time scored but one run, to the
ouickstep's 6, after which, Morris having
received q blow on the left arm, from Ven-
imore, while batting, wss crippled somes
what, which rendered his pitching less ef-
fectiye, and allowed the Chester boys to
score eight more runs, and defeated our
boys at home.

players, could have easily gooseeegged their
opponents. tt

Those who are not in tho secret Of the

Turks were induced to concentrate . tre-

The Russians are now concentrating at
simnitzs and are hurrying their whole force
across the river. To-day they are sending
boats from Turna Magurslli to assist in the
crossing. These boats were fired upon in
cesssntly by the Turkish batteries, but little
damage was done. A great battle is ex-
