Base BAHIA GAME WoN-On Fri
day evening last our baseball club went
over to Williamspor', remained over night
and on Saturday played an interesting
game of ball with the club Of that place
defeating them by four runs.
The game was won by the heavy bat
ting Of our boys MS the fielding WAS not up
to their usual standard.
They came home well pleased with their
trip and speak in the highest terms of the
treatment they received at the hands OF
the Williamsport players.
We are informed that this is but the
third game lost out of ten played by that
club, which makes;,he victory by our boys
ali the more tlattcring.
Weappend the score by innings.

On Monday our club played u game
with the Mountain City club of Frederick
but were not SO fortunate rs in their game
at Williamsport,
The game started off finely in favor of
our boys, but after several innings the
tide made decided turn and they got
trimmed of to the tune of Is to 6.
From what we can learn, the Frederick
people believed in advance of the game
that defeat awaited their nine and We
certainly calculated upon different result
from the one reported.
We append the score by innings.

COMMED ABLE.-1hrc of our citizens,
Messrs j. II. Freeze, j III. Cover and
Dr. NJ. L. Lca;herman joined muscle and
resources on Friday last, engaged a team,
a driver and a stone mason and with them
went to the mountain to quarry and dress
out stones for Il crossing on Watcr-st, be-
tween the properties of the above. They
returned with heavy stone, three feet wide
and from five to eight inches thick. On
Saturday this crossing was put down and
= is unquestionably the best in town. True,
it wasn't put down at a place that suited
everybody, rs we have heard several other
points suggested, but nasmuch rs it was
done by individual enterprise, we grant
the right to the parties to put it where
,hey pleased,
! PnRsoNAL.-Mr. G. G. Rodrick, of the
! TalIey Register called and spent an hour
with us on Friday last, as he passed thro'
our town on his way 10 Gettysburg.
! This was our first meeting with Bro
Rodrick and as well, his first trip to Me-
chanicstown and we heartily hope to see
more of the atfablc and courteous gentle,
man in the future, now that he knows
where we live.
We gave him tramp over our village
and he expressed himself as pleased with
it, which we trust may induce him tc
come this way soon again and with mort
time at his disposal.
