A very large crowd assembled at the Asso-
citation grounds here last Saturday afternoon
to witness game of ball between the Pas
times, of Baltimore, and the Westminster
club. The game was interesting throughout,
and resulted in a victory for the home club
by score of 0 to 8. But for some bad errors
on the part of the visitors in the third inning
the score would have been to 3. Only eight
innings were played, the Pastimes having to
leave the field at 80 in order to get home on
the 5.03 train, the last going to Baltimore for
the day. Below is the official score:

A Revolt in Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts Reform Club had din

afternoon. Owing to the fact that the Repub-

President candidate who is obnoxious to
most of the members of the club, the atten-

on the ACCESSIBILITY of the choice was very ami
mated. Among those present were James
Freeman Clarke, Arthur Lincoln, Winslow

letter was read from Chas. Francis

been discussed at some length the club put
its sentiments into words by unanimously
adopting the following declaration of princi-
pies:
''The Massachusetts Reform Club regard
the nomination of Messrs. Blaine and Logan
by the Republican party as distinct and I'M
qualified population of all its professions of
reform and as an insult to the conscience of
the country, and that the members of the club
will under no circumstances support Them"

dictory, by Miss Addie c. Reiss, of Washing

which was won by the fair authoress. Her
references to the president, vice-president

mates and undergraduates was most tender,

class has taken very high grade, and has
done honor to the institution. The ''Galop

after which the degrees and diplomas were
conferred by President Jelly, with generous
references to the high standing taken by this
class. Medals of honor were then awarded
to every member of the class for having pur-
sued extra studies for at least one year, in
addition to the graduating course-this being
the first class in which every member received
this honor.
A vocal quartette, led by Miss McVeigh,
was then sung in a manner that showed thor
