feelings of Bristol Council, No. lG, 4.
f. r., in respect to the death of Miss
MAMIE DEpRATo, who died on the 23d

and Is days, submitted the following:
PREAMBLE.
Whereas II has Pleased our Heavenly
Father, in the righteous dispcnsalion Of
IN all-Wisc Providence, TO remove from
our Temperance ranks and social inter-
course our beloved sister, Mamie Dcpra-
to, who for 50 long a time held and Sus-
tanned u worthy position and reputation
I'm our Council, whose gentle influence
was so layorably cNcrtcd IN the interest
of our noble cause; not like man In the
hustle aud busy scenes and walks OF life,
but like the gentle dew, dispensing such
benevolent and bcnitlccnt influences on
all whom She came In contact. Having
been through n long and lingering sick =
ness, subjected 20 sore alliutiuns aud tri-
ais, and through all these, having cXhib-
tied christian fortiludr and n willing
ness to submit mmurmcringly, yea.
even with christian resignation, TO the
will of her Heavenly Father in all these
irving circumstances, she left behind her
abunant evidence that in quitting these
earthly Affections there was wrought out
for her far more exceeding aud eternal
glory In the Heavenly land above, where
there will be no more sorrow and suffer
ing; be II therefore
Resoired, Isl. That In the death Of sis
ter Mamie Dcprato this Council has lost
one of It's most useful female members,
yet we mourn not rs those without hope
In her future destiny, being satisfied that
our loss has bccu her gain, Us she has
been transferred to nobler Councils
above.
Rcsolred, 3D. That we tender 10 the be-
rcaycd family our heartfelt sympahcs
In this their sad bereavement, aud also
our prayers that IN all-mcrcilul God may
give comfort and consolation TO their
sorrow-slribkcn hearts.
Resoired. Sd That We wccr the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days, and
that thi, preamble and these resolutions
bc entered upon the records Of The COun-
ell. aud copy be- furnished the bcrcaycd
family, and 10 the Nc,cs and Courier for

bail as now delivered is more difficult to hit
than In the days when Zettlein. Spalding and
Mcbride were the leading opponents OF scien-
tific pitching. Some who have given the
matter considerable thought deny that this Is
the case, and Insist that nothing has been
gained, either In speed or effectiveness, while
fi1ey claim 1t to be an undoubted fact that the
chanches for successful base running are now
greater than when the old style OF pitching
was la vogue, owing to the fact that In most
instances the delivery is less accurate than 1t
was Ave years ago, thereby imposing more
work on the catcher, and rendering his throw
ing to bases far less accurate.
HWhen began pitching, In 1856" said AL.
Spalding to the writer, "a man, when deliver,
ing the ball to the batsman, was not allowed
to bend his elbow; in other words, the arm
must be kept perfectly straight. In 1867 the
rules were amended, and the pitcher still
further restrained Of his liberty by being re-
quired to keep both feet on the ground when
this that Cummings and Matthews came into
prominence as the possessors OF a secret by
which the ball, in its passage from pitcher to
catcher, was made to describe curve. 1t
was called an underhand throw BY certain
newspapers, and SO considered by the public,
but iii reality 1t was nothing OF the kind; at
least in the case of Cummings. The curve
which he gave the ball was impaired by a
peculiar motion Of the wrist. He was a
straigEt-arm pitcher, the same q e as zettlein
ton that the modern throWers get by the use
OF the elbow"
"How was the change brought about?"
well, things ran along about as have de-
scribed them until 1873, when there was re-
ytval Of interest In the game, and 1T was found
