We hope that the horse races will not
be al the amusement that will be pre-
vided for the Fourth. We understand
the Barker ball tossers are anxious
Ia play a match with the Benton boys on
the Fourth for 500 a side. We believe
there is good enough material in this
city from which to pick a nine that can
walk off with that 500, If a sufficient
sum is put up to back them in fact, we
have nine men in Jul mind now that
could, we feel sure, polish the bonanza
kings off. The game could be played in
the morning SO as not to interfere with
she races in the afternoon, and d grand
ball in Stockings new hall would be d
GOOD way to wind up the day. Will our
people take hold and put some such pro-
gramme through?
