GREAT BASE BALL GAME.
An opportunity will be given on Friday
next, the 18th, to witness the finest game of
ball ever played in Westminster. The con-
test will be between the Lancaster (profes
sional) club, of Lancaster, Pa, and the West
minister club. The latter has been greatly
strengthened by the addition of new players,
and is expected to make good showing, even
before these professionals. An exciting game
is looked for. AS great expense is incurred
in getting these clubs here, 1T will be necessary
to raise the price of admission to % cents for
all games with professionals, but the regular
charge of 10 cents will still be adhered to for
games with amateurs. Prices for gape with
Lancaster club will be as follows: Admission
to grounds % cents; children under Is years
of age 10 cents; ladies admitted Free seats on
grand stand 25 cents. A plat will be at HUI
ber's drug store on and after Tuesday, Sep
TENDER 16, where seats on the stand may be
secured and will be reserved without extra
charge. Ladies especially are advised to take
advantage of this, as large attendance is ex-
pected. Should the game be prevented by
unfaYorable weather all money will be re-
turned. No betting will be allowed on the
ground, and officers will be prompt to pre-
serve the best of order. Should this game
prove success financially it will be followed
by others with some of the best professional
clubs in this part of the country, among
which may be mentioned the Yorks, Will
Transports, Ironsides and Baltimore Unions.
