modern method of education. It

Base Ball.

The game of base ball played at
this place, on Wednesday last, be-
tween the Hagerstown, Md, Club
and the Red Star Club of Charles
town, was by far the most brilliant
and exciting exhibition of base ball
skill ever witnessed by the citizens of
Jefferson county, and one of which
any two professional clubs now in OK
istence might well be proud to have
put on. record. The interest man.
ifested throughout the entire game
was intense, and all who witnessed it
felt we'll sepaid by the rare sport af-
forded. Our citizens should more
generally attend and take more in
tcrest' in the games of ball played
here, and thus lend their encourage
ment to this truly national amuse-
ment, which, while it amuses, calls
for, on the part of the players, skill,
agility, accuracy, endurance, and, in
short, everything that is admirable
and desirable in athletic virtue. The
Red Stars lost the toss and were sent
to the bat. Outs were made by
OS%oEAShAAlI3 hoASb anu biNGIlpOFG.
Brown scoring. The visitors then
went to bat, and during the inning
scored four runs, three of which were
attributable to errors made on LIST
base, thus practically losing the game
for the home club. In the second in
ming no runs were made on either
side. In the third each scored one.
In the fourth and fifth none; in the
sixth the home boys ran in three men,
the visitors one, thus leaving the score
standing at the end of the sixth in
ming, 6 to in favor of Hagerstown.
The seventh inning did notmaterialIy
affect the comparative standing of the
game, rs one run was made on both
sides. After this there were no more
scores made; the excitement ran high
and eliminated, when in the ninth in
ming, with two men out and the bases
all full. Moore of the home club was
called to the bat. Every one felt that
one good hit would insure the victory,
hard earned, yet glorious. and stood.
with batcd breath to know the issue.
Unfortunately, however, the batter iii
his anxiety to hit the ball, struck a
little too soon, knocking an easy fly
to Derr on the 1st base, and ending
the game. Both clubs played well
and did themselves full credit. The
features of the game were the pitch
ing of Castleman, and the admirable
support rendered by Brown behind
the bat i'll the home nine; while the
exceptionally fine playing of Derr on
1st base, was particularly noticeable
on the visitors side. We cannot re-
frain from mentioning the beautiful
running catch made by Long in left
field. DR.. NciIl umpircd with abso-
lutte impartiality and to the utmost
satisfaction of both clubs. Score

BOATS, BICYCLES, and HAY FEVER.
Mature has resolved that all the
people shall not enjoy themselves at
once. With the opening of the sea-
son of outdoor sports comes the time
of trouble for the poor victims of Hay
Fever. For them flowers have no
odor, and the summer little or no
beauty. TO snuff, sncczc and wipe
their weeping eyes for three Or -four
successive months this is their
pitiable portion. Whether this form
of Catarrh is called Hay Fever, Hay
Cold, Rose Cold or Rose Fever, makes
no difference; they suffer just the
same. There is no help in sea voy-
ages, there is no help in high noun
tain air. These only Tighten the
pocket and leave the disease unaba-
ted. But there is positive cure in
Ely's Cream Balm. We would cram
these columns with grateful letters of
the rescued. Try it and join them.
If you continue to suffer it is because
you neglect remedy as sure as it is
cheap and pleasant. SO cents.

Our Mayor, DIR. j. v. Simmons,
has been on a trip to the State of New
York during The past few days. The
following, from the Oswcgo Times
and Eepress of the 10th, will explain
the object of his visit:
Superintendent James Shannahan,
accompanied by DIR. j. V. Simmons
of West Virginia, representing the
Mcdonald fishway, arrived yesterday
afternoon at $50 O'Clock, and were.
escorted to the Doolittle house by the
committee. In Intervening a meeting
of the Misunderstanding club was held
and DR.. Simmons presented a new
and improved model of the Mcdonald
fishway. Instead of the water stril-
ing-the top of the way and running
in broad sheet to the bottom, form
ing ahydraulic pressure and backing
up in a zigzag sheet, it fills from the
side in little buckets and backs up
with steady slow current. This is
regarded as great Improvement
This morning the committee accom-
panied Mr.. Shannahan and DIR. Sim
mons up the river TO look at the dams,
and they did not return until 2 o. clock
this afternoon. The party are now
inspecting the dam and river as far
as Fulton. When they reach that
place if DIR. Simmons and the Super
intendent can agree as to price, DR..
Simmons will return and at once pur-
chase material and commence the con-
struction of the fishways. The SUI
perintendent will inspect the canal
and river through to Syracuse.
