Red.StOckings 'WOrSteG at San Antonio.


DRIPPING SPRINGS, July 9Th, 1884.
EDITOR FREE PRESS ITO render unto
Caesar the things that are Cesar's," I write
you an account of the game that we, the
Red-stockings of Dripping Springs, played
against the Sunsets of San Antonio.
Having received challenge from the
Sunsets, we of course accepted, though we
would not have had the audacity to haye
sent one to them, and the match was fixed
for the 4th. On arriving at San Antonio
after pleasant drive to Kyle and the r. r.
ride thence to destination, we were met by
MIR. Cavanaugh, who saw us well seated in
hacks and escorted us to the Maverick Ho-
tel where we supped very satisfactorily, as
was to be expected The beef was always
the most choice at the Maverick.
After supper Mr.. G. walked us out to see
the ELEPHANT he is conspicuously gorgeous,
very easily seen and has many devotees-I
refer to the Elephant, not to Mr.. Cavan'
augh. The latter is the gentlemanlike man
ager of The Sunset Club, who, throughout
our stay in San Antonio, treated us as gen.
aleman should visitors on his invitation.
On the morning of the fourth we visitedthe
San Pedro Springs, and saw many people
and splendid spring. How is it that,
with such beautiful, cool water at hand, all
the people around the tables had a yell
low looking fluid with seeds floating on top,
in their glasses? can any one explain At
4:3O p. m game was called and the re-
suit was at once apparent. The play of the
Sunsets was very good, some splendid fly
catches being made by the left field, es-
pecially and none of our men scored run
though several made the first base, and
worked around to third In conclusion
the score stood z22 to 0 for the San Antonio
club with very fair umpiriIg- And as our
sun rose brilliantly for us at at Kyle; so
the Sunset" was most dazzling at San
Antonio. Yours. II. c. d.

EDITOR FREE Press: 1t is with much
sadness that undertake the task of writing
the obituary of dear aunt, Mrs. Emily
Piper, who breathed her last breath on the
5th inst. After protracted illness she was
freed from her suffering, conquered the last
enemy and went to unite with her brother,
the father of the writer, in the better land.
Though these sad bereavments befall all
families, yet there is sweetness in them to
the believer, for he can sing with the poet
Moore
SIS it not sweet to think, hereafter,
When the spirit leaves this sphere,
Love, with deathless wing, shall waft her,
To those she long had mourned for here?
Hearts from which twas death to sever.
Eyes this world can ne'er restore,
There, as warm, AZ bright az ever,
Shall meet us and be lost no more"
