The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1883-09-19

ing is thing of the past and in its place
/ is built suitable and decent station. At
present writing new platform is being
laid and in few days the "Sunliower'
itself will be tackled. The "Sunfiower'
must 90.
Last week photographer with a small
Photographic gallery, moved into our viii
lage and his headquarters are found in
front of the upper store. And now the
handsome, the stylish, the homelS, the
wise, and last but not least, the dudes,
will hasten to have their pictures taken
to give to their admiring lovers and to
hang sin the parlor on the wall.
Miss Nettie Smith, daughter of Mrs.
Lizzie Smith, of Trenton and grand-
daughter of Mrs. Eliza Schenck, of orr
village, died the latter part of last week,
at her home in Trenton. She had been
afflicted with that fatal disease, consump-
ton, for some time. The funeral service
took place in the Presbyterian Church in
our village, Monday morning of this
week. Rev. P. A. Studdiford, Of Lam
bertville, preached the sermon. m
Our people should now receive some
impulse of enterprise from the building
of the new station, that would start them
on the right track toward repairing our
plank walk. The plank walk certainly
must 90.
Last Tuesday afternoon game Of base
ball was played in our village, between.
mines from Lambertville and Pennington.
A strong wind blew from the east and
the day was not altogether a propitious
one for such sport However the mines
arrived early in the afternoon and were
followed by large representations from
both Pennington aud Lambertvlle. Our
people also turned out in force to witness
the contest. It was soon evident that
some strife existed between the compe-
ting clubs and this became more and more
evident as soon as the game was called
and the play advanced. 'Iambertville' =
won the toss and took the field. 'Flem-
ington" lead off with some fine hits and
these assisted with errors ON the part OF
the Lambertville nine, gave them five
runs before the side was put out This
was fine lead for "Flemington' and
their "stocko advanced considerably, so
that the hackers of the team offered odds
on them. The Lambertvlle boys played
steady uphill game, but were unable to
tie the score, although coming within one
run Of it once or twice during the
game. ''Flemington" finally won by the
score of II too. The game was well CON
tested The battery OF each team was
effective. The pitcher Of the Pennington
nine, handled the ball with excellent
skill He was well supported by the
catcher. The Lambcrtville pitcher, al
though not effective as Flemington's man,
yet pitched well and caused number to
strike out. The catcher Cor Lambertville
deserves extraordinary praise for his fine
playing. He had but q few passed balls,
while he made some very difficult and
beautiful stops. The Pennington boys
played a strong game in the field and also
did fairly well at the bat. The Lam
bertvile nine had two or three weak men
among their number, but nevertheless
the team as whole, played a strong
game. A streak Of good batting at the
latter part of the game would have won
it for them, but as 1t was they did not
have that streak. The betting fraternity
were well represented and considerable
amount OF money changed hands. The
shouting of tho arden. admirers of each
team, as their own nine would make
fine play, or score a run, was deafening.
Excitement ran high and the Pennington
boys left our village in happy spirits,
proud of their hard and we'll earned vic
tory Tho field on which the game was
played, is owned by A. j. Blackwell, Jr.
and many thanks are due him for tho use
OF IL as well as other accommodations af
forded by him. PoP
