sat near them, and, unobservcd By them,

The Bost0ns went to the field and the game

CLEVELAND VS.. WORCESTER.

its third victory from Worcesters to-day by
tremendous batting. Every one Ut the home
nine except Smith made one Or more hits,
while the visitors did not score But one hit
till the latter part Of the game Mccormick
himself made three hits, one Of them three
baser, and Ills running of bases probably
wearied MIN and affected his pitching, for
the Worcesters managed to earn Il few bases
toward the EMU Of the contest. Their only
run was scored by Bushong in the eighth i'll
hing Oh singles by himself, Stovcy, ana Dick
erson, and {; wild throw by Mccormick.
Both niues played Il fine fielding game,
Giasscock especially distinguishing himself. In
the secoul inning he made tine one- -hand stop
time. Clnpr In left field, after taking D,r..uns
long fly, made a wonderful throw to Phillips ut

amer Plates,

The latest application OF paper is the
adoption of paper plates by some OF the
great restaurants and cafes in Berlin.
The innovation was first introduced
during the summer of last year by the
adventurous landlord of a much fire.
quented open air restaurant. Every
customer who ordered bread and butter,
rolls, cakes, buns or similar articles,
had them served to him upon a little
paper plate, made Of light paper mache,
adorned with q pretty border of relief,
and having at the first glance a great
similarity to porcelain. Guests, walters
and host we're all pleased with the
novelty; it saved the walters many a
deduction from their wages on accop1t
of breakages, which the deftest and
cleverest can scarcely avoid when he
handles hundreds OF pieces of crockery
during single afternoon and evening.
The paper plates we're so cheap that the
landlord did not care to assert his
ownership over them, and his customers
were allowed to carry them away, like
the petty serviettes Of thin paper used
in so many restaurants in Holland.
There was also considerable saving of
the time lost, and the chance on acci-
dent incurred in the cleansing Of earth
enware pottery. The success Of the ex-
pertinent has been so marked that the
new species of plates Is likely to be in
troduced into a great number Of res
taurants.
