Quito q large audience witnessed tho first
contest between the wayerlys and tho semi
professional Stars last evening on the National
grounds. Tho playing OF the Waverlys was not
up to Its usual standard, while that OF the
Stars was very good. Tho batting Of both sides
was very light. A few long hits were made
which were allowed, by costly errors, to slip
through the out.neld OF the Waverlys, giving
u few scores which ought to have been pre-
vented. Tho base.running Of tho waverlys
was very poor.
Tho statement in the Post this morning as
to tho failure of the "heavy hitters" TO touch
tho ball Is q mistake. An account OF tho first
innings Will disprove this. Jewell secured
his base in the first inning by n hit to White,
Of the Stars, which he fumbled and finally
threw over the first basemans head, and then,
by passed ball, reached third. The run was
scored by hit OF Barr's and another tumble
by White.
The waverlys were considerably handi-
capped by the unfortunate condition of their
catcher and pitcher, both of whom were par
TALLY disabled.
The score by innings was as follows:
Waverly ........1 o o o o.
Star .............1 o l 1 L 9 Iii
Another game will probably DO arranged be-
tween these two clubs.

Obituary.

"There Is Reaper whose name is Death
And with his sickle keen
He reaps the bearded grain at breath
And the flowers that grow between.
Shall l have naught that is fair?' saith he;
Have naught but the bearded grain2
Though the breath Of these flowers is sweet
to me
| will give them all back again.
He gazed at the flowers with fearful eyes:
He kissed their dropping leaves,
1t was for the Lord OF Paradise
He bound them in his sheaves.
My Lord hath need Of these flowerots gay,
The Reaper said, and smiled;
Dear tokens of the earth are they
Where He was once child.
They shall all bloom in the fields OF light,
Transplanted by my care,
And saints upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear
And the mother gave in tears and pain,
The flower she most did love;
She knew she should find it once again
In the field OF light above
These beautiful lines Of the poet come
into our minds unbidden, yet not unwel-
come as in heartfelt sorrow we attempt to
record for you, dear Register, in fitting terms,
the death OF our little friend Ella Beale,
youngest child OF Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Suit
er, if.
She, indeed, was one OF the "Aowers" Of
whom the poet spokc-beautiful, fresh
and pure-and, therefore, most fitting for
the "Lord OF Paradise" Is 1t strange that
that he should claim her? And yet the
loss OF such flowers makes earth q desert
drear. But then the consolation-and oh,
how great!
"They shall all bloom in fields Of light"
bright and lovely and lasting as eternity
itself.
Ella Augusta Beale was born at Mercer
Bottom, Mason county, West Virginia,
August 3lst, 1870, and died July 18th, 1882,
aged II years, 10 months and IL days. Hel
last and in fact her only sickness, typhoid
malarial fever, was OF short duration; aud
with as good medical attention as can be
had in this country, and with the earnest
attention OF ministering friends, every ef
fort was made to save her. But, alas
Death had marked her for his own, and
surrounded by those who most loved her
with beautiful smile of peace on her in
nocent face she passed from earth.
Naturally of loving and lovablc dispo
sition Ella was n great iavorite with al
who knew her. Always happy and cheer
full, whether at work or at play, she brought
sunshine with her. Sorrow had not as ye
left its mark on her iace-and 1t bore only
the innocent smile OF innocent childhood
Indeed it could be truly said Of her, "Nont
knew her but to love ber." But now sht
IS gone from mortal sight forever-but no
dead;
ITO live in hearts VIC lesve behind
Is not to die,"-
and while it is hard to give dearly loved
one up-yet it must be done.
$50 passes lifel-the smile, the tear
Succeed, as on our path we stray;
Thy kingdom come-for we are here
AS guests who tarry but day."
