A very large audence-not so large however
as the merits of the combination demand
greeted the Bergers at Music Hall last evening
Custom certainly has not stalled their variety,
and the entertainment they afford is if any,
thing more pleasing than ever before. Miss
Anna Berger demonstrated anew her right to
the title Of the best woman cornetist in Amer
lea. In sweetness and power of tone she ceI-
tainly cannot be excelled. Miss Fidella Dens-
more is pleasing little singer, and was re-
csived with great favor by the large audience.
Especial mention should also be made of Miss
Eta Morgan, the saxophone soloist, apd Of
Mr. Lombard. Indeed, all deserved praise,
and it is matter of some difficulty to make
particular mention Of one performer where all
acquitted themselves so satisfactorily. The en-
tertainment is pleasing throughout, and not
the least pleasing feature of it is the appear
ance of Mr.. Sol Smith Russell in his humorous
impersonations. Indeed, this is the feature to
amajority of the listeners.
Since the Bergers were here last season they
have added much to the variety of their enter
tainment as we'll as many to the members of
the troupe. They were always good, and the
fresh attractions give an agreeable novelty to
the performance. They give matt nee tc-aay,
and this evening appear for the last time.
Those who have seen them once will want to see
them again, and strangers certainly have
pleasant acquaintance to make.

CAPIsIC.-An entertainment Of a varied and
interesting character was given in the school
house, ON Thursday evening. The chair was
taken by the Rev. f. Pember, who gave short
address on 'Self-E1ucation; and also contri-
bute1 in the course of the evening two songs.
He was substantially aided by Mrs. Pember,
who played and sang. She also read an article
on the Aurora Borealis which was we'll receiv-
ed. and supplemented by an address from Mr..
Moses Dow. who related his experience of the
phenomenon seen from Portland in 1881, and
added some commendatory notes on the work
which had been persevered in by Mr.. Psmber.
Two sacred pieces of music were also finely
sung By Mr.. Isaac Libby and Miss Libby, &C.
cnmpanied by the latter. Miss Harmon and
Miss Hollis each gave capital reading-per-
haps too short; while we thankfully listened to
Mrs. Quimby, who twice responded to the call
made upon her, and read with excellent pun
gency and accumulation the piece "Cerfew shall
not ring tonight" and one from M acaulay's
poetical works. 1t is understood that the enter
tainment is to bs repeated on the full OF every

THE PEDESTRIAN CONTEST.
Probable Pr mature Term in alton.

When our report published yesterday morn
ing closed, both OF the men were quietly rest
ing in their quarters, which they continued to
do until between and s o'clock yesterday
morning. At that time Chapman resumed the
contest, closely followed by Driscoll In view
of Chapman having claimed foul by reason
of Driscoll striking against his heels Thursday
night which caused his retirement from the
track, an arrangement had been entered into
by the Judge for both men and understood by
the referee to be endorsed by both principals,
to this effect When either man got within six
feet of the other he should turn to pass, thus
avoiding any chance for such foul to occur
Soon sfser the men had gone on to the track
yesterday morning, Driscol, in gross violation
OF the above arrangement, and of the rules
governing such contests. and also of common
fairness, began striking against Chapman's
heels. He was repeatedly though Intellectually
warned by the referee to desist. He continued
his full play and Chapman being too level.
headed to stand it, retired ffom the track. as he
stated, for good.
In view of this, and by order of the judges,
Drscoll also retired. Thereupon the hall was
vacated-the superstition being that the contest
was up. The referee said that under the cir
cumstsnces Chapman was clearly justified in
leaving the track. Dfiscoll said that he had
not been Informed of the above stated six
feet arrangement. The judges had supposed
that his trainer, Mr.. Boyd, had informed him.
In the afternoon meeting Of the principals,
referee and Judges was held. Chapman said
he was willing to resume the contest if he could
have fair play. Driscoll declined to contest
further. in view, as be said, Of his having been
stopped in the morning.
The refsree, Mr.. Deehan, after hearing all
parties decided that he could not decide the
contest until Saturday night at 9 O'Clock, the
time set for the contest to terminate, and that
the distance made by either man, on the track,
until that time would be counted. CHAPMAN
at once repaired to the hall and at 4:10 resumed
the contest After closing the gap between his
distance and Driscol.'s, and making one extra
lap he retired.
The scors as it now stands is, Chaplain
SO miles and Al laps, and Driscoll 96 miles
and 81 laps. The refsree and judges have given
perfect salts action to both men, and no fault
is found in this direction.

AnniYarsary Dinner.

Sunday, August 11th, was the 34th
anniversary of the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Miles, of Lanier township,
and accordingly his friends and rela-
tives to the number of "A assembled at
his home to greet one another and be
merry. 1t was the intention of his
children to surprise them, but they be-
came apprised of these intentions and
that scheme failed. The guests began
to arrive about 8 o'clock, and by - all
had arrived. The Time until noon was
spent in social chat. When dinner was
announced all betook themselves to the
dining room, where after a neat little
speech by Mr.. Wallace Louden, in the
course of which he presented Mr.. and
Mrs. Miles each a pair of gold specta-
cles, all did ample service tc a dinner
such as is rarely if ever excelled, both
in beauty and taste. Dinner being over
the parlor was soon filled to overflow
ing, where music was furnished by the
Misses Clemmer, Mrs. Thurston (the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Miles,) and
Mr.. Friend. The afternoon wore pleas
their homes feeling that it was a day
well spent and long to be remembered.
Old Father Time has begun to make in
roads upon Mr.. and Mrs. Miles, but
though old, they arc young in heart, as
was evinced on this occasion. They
have reared a family of five children,
three of whom are married. One in in

A son of Rev. j. Y. Schouller, OF
Fair Haven, this county, recently WIS.,
tied his uncle near MELVILLE, Penn,
where his father was raised. During
a stroll over the farm, he one day
found a large turtle on the shell OF
which was plainly carved ~. Y.

turtle is not ola wandering nature.
The popularity of cheap excursions
is noteworthy. The prices at which
they are run enable ALL to visit the
chief objects of interest within any
reasonable distance from home. Free
excursions are furnished in the larger
cities for invalids of the poorer class
es, who are dying for Gods pure air,
the only requirement being o %certifi-
cate of poor health from the district
physician. How immeasureably must
the benevolent people, who afford
these excursions attheir own expense,
be repaid at the cheering smile that
overspreads the pallid faces when
they feel the pure air of the country
sweeping their feverish brows.
By the tabular statement returned
to the State Auditor for the years
1877-S it is shown that there are in
the State 100000 horses, 1858 8 head
of cattle, 27,304 mules, 3,9o9,6o4 sheep,
and 234,411 hogs. Ofthese Hamilton
county has the most horses, 1888;
TrumbuH county the largest number
of cattle, 1886: Hamilton county the
most mules, 2,O27 Licking county the
most sheep, S86,544 ; and Ross county
the most hogs, 55,075. Vinten county
owns the fewest horses, 3,27S; Paul
ding county the fewest head of cattle,
6,662; Ottowa county the fewest
mules, At Pauiding the fewest sheep,
3,O73, and Lake the fewest hogs, B.
600. Preble county averages well
with the other counties in all these
animals.
