There is talk of organizing stock
company to sustain an amateur base

terial here for first-class club il it was
only got in shape and backed financially
so as to insure permanancy.
A gentleman called on us the other
day desiring to see one Of our exchanges
from the town in which he lived. We
commenced looking for it, when he re-
marked, "You can easily tell it; it is
printed so poorly you can hardly read
It,"
The entertainments by the children,
under the direction of Prof. HartsOugh,
at the Town Hall, Thursday and Friday
evenings, were very pleasing, the little
folks doing themselves credit as well as
the training they had received from the
Professor.
Prof. f. c. Taylor, "the only acknOwl-
edged rival of Herman, Heller, Blitz or
Anderson" assited by other specialists
will give series of entertainments at
the Town Hall next week commencing
Tuesday evening. Full particulars
found in our advertising columns. Re-
served seats will be sold by Kenburg &
Cooper.
Steam was raised on the tug Messen-
ger last evening to try her machinery.
1t turned up with ten pounds of steam,
which is better, Mr.. Talsma says, than
before she was burned. She has a new
and larger wheel, and 1t is thought will
make better speed than ever. She left
this forenoon for COckburn island and
expects to bring over load of fresh fish
in time for the City of Cleveland to-.
night.
The excursion for the benefit of the
Congregational Sunday School will be
given on the popular steamer Flora Fri
day of next week. She will leave her
dock promptly at eight o'clock, no pre-
venting storm. Parties can stop at the
island and spend several hours, or can
continue the trip to st. Ignace. We hope
our citizens will not be discouraged at
their former disappointment, but turn
out and givesthe school good benefit.
The Cheboygan Base Ball club has
been challenged by the Au Sable boys to
a match game of ball, the first to be played
here the first day of theraces, August 80
and the return game during the races at
Au Sable. The probabilities are that
the challenge will be accepted. The
matter is being canvassed among the
boys, and the general desire seems to be
to meet the Au Sable chaps on the
green.
The maple timber we mentioned as
being manufactured at the Burt Lake
saw mill, and shipped to Chicago are
intended to be turned for columns in a
building in that city. There are 412
more pieces yet to be shipped, all to be
used for the same purpose, in the same
building. The Ohioville mill. on Burt
Lake, has the contract for getting them
out. There is large quantity Of fine
maple in that vicinity. The mill has the
reputation of doing most excellent
work.
Work at the salt we'll is progressing
satisfactory, and they are drilling about
fifteen feet every twenty-four hours.
The rock is caving badly, worse. Mr.
COner says, than when at the same
depth at the other well, but the tubing
is not INSTRUCTED 80 bad, and readily fol-
lows the drill down. They will be down
to depth of 800 feet this evening. There
is quite flow of water, sufficient to car.
ry all the drillings out, so that they dc
not have to stop to sand pump. If every
thing keeps working as well as 1t Is al
