MUSIC AT THE PARK.

An Opportunity for a Series of Summer
Evening COncerts-The Blues Band
and the Ludden & Bates Band Cor
tFibutions.
The Republican Blues Band gave a
concert at Forsyth Place on Friday
evening. 1t is estimated there were be-
tween 1900 and 1900 people present.
The music was excellent. The Blues
Band is composed of members of that
veteran corps, who organized some years
ago for mutual improvement in instru-
strumental music, and the organi-
cation is now one OF the best of
the kind in the State. Desiring to still
further perfect themselves as musicians,
the members have recently secured the
services Of Mr.. Frank Thornton as leader.
This gentlemani is an experienced teacher,
and under his direction the band will.
doubtless, add to its well earned reputa-
ton. There are several brass bands in
the city, two Of which (the Blues and
Ludden q Bates have favored the
citizens with free concerts in the Park
The others may also conclude to furnish
their quota for the public entertainment.
il substantial and ornamental music
stand could be erected for a moderate
sum. The committee in charge of the
Park could not make any expenditure
which would add more to the pleasure Of
their fellOw-citiZens and which would meet
more general approval than by providing
a music stand for the accommodation Of
the organizations that are willing and
ready 10 furnish the music.

DEFEATED BY \ HEAVY SCORE

The Stars Send the Dixies Creeping on
Record of IA to THE Game Lost
by Poor Pitching and Bad Fielding
Fitzgerald's Three Bagger and Only
Run-The Stars and Their Battery
The Game Tomorrow.
The game yesterday between the Stars
and DiXies was an easy walk over for the
victors, who sent the home nine to the
wall by a score of II to 1. In spite of the
threatening weather ana the fifty
cent schedule of admission,
there was fair attendance.
and the benches and grand stand were
well filled with spectators. The DiXies
won the toss and sent the Stars to the
bat. There was very little betting on the
game at the outset and none after the first
inning was played. Leslie started of
with fine base hit, followed by Burkalowe,
Hombrich and Collins, who came across
the plate in one, two, three order. Miller
went out on a fly, followed by Lawrence.
Ruhle scored and Barnes went out at
second. With five runs on the first in
ming, the game began to look sorry for the
DiXies, who went out without a score.
In the second inning the Stars scored four
runs, and the DiXies made a goose egg.
1t was evident that Norton was no
good in the box, and he was changed to
second and Westcott pitched until the
fourth inning, when Shea went behind the
bat. Norton was changed to left field and
Fitzgerald covered second, with LamOtte
shOrt-stOp. This arrangement put a
check on the Stars, who were pounding
Norton mereilessly. The third inning
was a blank for both Stars and Dixies.
In the fourth inning the Stars again
scored. The fifth was blank, and on the
sixth Fitzgerald, on a beau
tilul three-bagger over right
field, reached third and stole across the
home plate. During the remainder of the
game the only run scored was by the
Stars on the eighth inning. 1t was an
easy victory, without an effort. The
DiXies were OutpIayed at every point.
Westcott pitched finely, but was unable te
battle the visitors who are heavy batters to
a man. Fitzgerald played a beautiful
game behind the bat and at second base.
He is a very strong man in any position.
The Stars are heavy batters aud fine
fielders. In the game yesterday Ruhle
stood in the box with HOmbrich behind
the bat. Tomorrow they will put
their regular battery in action, with
BurkalOwe in the box and Leslie behind
the bat. Miller short-stOp, is fine
fielder, and the whole nine is stalwart at
the bat and effective in the field.
The following is the score:

bear its share, and many importers and
manufacturers have been trying to realize

have been able b secure several lots of
Ladies' and Gents Watches and various
assorted lots of Jewelry at a considerable
reduction from usual prices. Yet, to car

at all. The only way to make an~hing
of these purchases, is if can again I'M

the Ocean Steamship police headquar-
tiers late last night with his head and
shoulders buried in the mud and
water. The place where he was found
was by the side of low bridge across the
creek. from which he had evidently fallen
head foremost. His body was pulled out
and up on the bridge, but life was extinct.
The police were notified of the discovery
and Coroner Sheftall was summoned.
After an examination, from which
it was evident that the man died from
drowning, his body was given in charge
of his friends, and was removed to mis-
home near by. He was about 80 years old,
and had wife and two sons, one of whom
lived in Darien, and was telegraphed the
news of his fathers death last night.
The place where the drowning occurred
was a dangerous crossing to walk in the
dark. 1t is the same spot where negro
named Cesar Glib BIS was drowned about
year ago.
