the Reds obtained the lead and continued to

The game between the Pcrtlands and Lewis
tons yesterday attracted big audience. 1t
was very interesting, and at times exciting
contest, though several innings were crowded
with errors. Lewiston scored one in both the
first and second inning and Portland followed
her example. In the third, after the bases
were full, Bates drove the ball sharply to
left and his hit aided by wild throwing cleared
bases and brought in four runs. AS the visitors
seemed to take kindly to Bent, McGlinchy
went in to pitch in the first of the fifth and
from this time cut the Portlands played a
different game. Two runs resulted for the
boys in the seventh on hits by Leighton and
Chase, wild pitch and an error. In the last
of the eighth the game was won. Bent was
given his base on balls, was advanced to
second on McGlinchy's hit, reached third on
Wilbur's tumble OF ball hit by Barnes and
came home on passed ball. to be followed
moment later by MeGlincby and Barnes as
Leighton sent the ball spinning ont into right
The ball was felded so wretchedly that Leigh
ton went the round of the bases and the
inning closed with the score eight to six in
favor of the Portlands. The Lewistons were
BANKED in the ninth
The playing of Leighton behind the bat was
excellent, McGlinchy in pitchers position
showed the best work for six inning that was
ever seen on a ball field in this city, not ball
went out OF the diamond, nor man reaching
first base until the ninth inning; Chase cover
ed the first base in manner that gave him a
name (Which was generally eSpressed) of be-
ing the finest first basemen Portland has seen
yet. Deoley did good work at the bat and
Barnes covered the third base in fine style.
Bradley at short played his usual fine game,
and the fielding of Norway, Corridor and
Bent was very cre1tably done. The umpiring
was by Mr.. Gus Batchelder of Portland who
gave his decisions in his usual good manner.
The next game will be played with John
L. Writings Commercial club Of Boston next
Tuesday and Thursday.
Parsons excelled for the Lswistons at the
bat aud in the field. The score:

EDITORS News: l understand there
Is a movement ahost to keep our stores
open during the evening hours of this
summer, and noticed an item in yester-
days Republican in favor Of such move
ment. In the name of humanity OBJ
ject. Situated as our stores are, with no
opportunity of getting the south and
only breeze in them, they are
nearly unbesrable to shop IN after
the hot weather once sets IN, and the
jadGd faces OF the clerks and merchants
testify what 1t is to remain in them all
day. can imagine no more trying po-
sitions than to wait upon the public in
. drV goods store anyway, and to debar
persons obliged to do so from coming
out at the close of day
to enjoy, with all other Ia
boring classes, the few moments of
rest and refreshing the short evening af-
lords Is downright cruelty. The carpen-
ter, the blacksmith, the mechanic of all
kinds rests after six o'clock and they
are engaged in work calculated to
strengthen the body even while it tires,
but the clerk follows a business full OF
petty vexatiOn, shut in from the open
air, and certainly needs a few
moments In which to breathe
freely and rest more than any class ]
know of. Let us, then, after they have
borne all day with our jewing and bag.
Cling, OF hesitation and Irresolution, moi
begrudge to this class Of laborers the
breathing space bestowed upon al

Tho clo.rpr OPP Question


The questions OF closing the stores Of
Emporia at Z so o'clo Ok in the evening is
just now exciting considerable meas
ure OF discussion. This rule has been
observed 10 this city for some years past,
1t is a custom with which the people
have fsllen in, and 1t gives very general
satisfaction to dealers, clerks and the
pubic as large. We can see no adYan-
tage which CAT SccTne TO any one by the
innovation proposed by the
advoc ates of later hours. The citizens
of Emporia are not much given to be-
ing abroad at night. We never knew OF
. town where SO many people spent
their evenings at home. and this Is just
as it should be. The infueHce OF this
wholesome habit upon the family is seen
and recognized in the community, ana
any departure from 81 good custom
would be thing TO be deplored.
As far as the employees of our mer-
charts are concerned, We see no justice
nor humanity IN askihg of them serv-
lee which is not required Of atty other
class of lAbOrers, aud the severity of such
a draft upon their strength BECOMES the
more apparent when we consider the
exacting nature If their duties and the
enervating effect of confinement in a
close and hot store room all day. We fail
to see how there should be any division
of sentiment in n1attef which
appeals SO directly 70 the justice OF
the public, shd We Trust that the mer-
chants who have Lken accustomed 10
