frog and switch device has been placed at
the east end Of The siding on the compa-
nys grounds at this place. BY the new
device the main track remains unbrokcn
and hy an ingenious arrangement the

over the rail of the main track when the
siding il, to he entered. \ train on the
main track cannot possibly run of o: the
end of the rails going either way; going
west II train Nigh, run INTO the siding

her left eye, up to the sixth inning when
"Our Boys succeeded in closing her "ol!
eye" and were careful that it Ii 'ull l.ot he

The Nonparicl nine is composed Ola set
of gcnilcmaniy young fellows, the friends
of Mr.. William Ilammctt, formerly Of this
place and through whose influence the
game was arranged.
The visitors secured a partial promise
from our boys to play return zane on
their grounds in the city, during Oriolc

| Nonparicl nine were able to find persons
in the city who were foolish enough to bet
