WESTMINSTER VS.. MONUMENTAL.

hESIAIADIEit -. AUt
On Friday and Saturday of last week the
Westminster club played two games with the
Monumentals, of Baltimore, and, as in the
two games with the same club last year, lost
the first and won the second. In Friday S
game, which the visitors won by TO 3, the
home club seemed ''rattled' and out Of sorts.
They were unable to do anything with Smith,
who pitched splendid game, and in the field
made costly errors at critical points. The
visitors did some very similar playing, but on
the whole outplayed the Westminsters espe-
cially. although Driscoll was generally eifec-
tive. Umpire Grouse was also a little off,
and one or two decisions happened to cost
runs; bat they were nearly evenly divided.
and there was no warrant for the remarks of
some spectators. Some good playing was
done between times, however. Clabaugh
played perfect game for the home club and
did the best batting. Childs led the batting
and fielding for the visitors, making a very
remarkable foul catch against the backstop.

We notice by the Frederick Citizen that
there has been a company formed at that

This company was formed after careful in
yestigation of the Dayton company's plan of
building fences. Mr.. Duvall, one of the
stockholders of the new company, is manager
of the Dayton company and has been for a
number Of years. This is home enterprise
that the citizens of the State should well be
proud of as it is calculated to beautify our
country with..good, substantial and ornamental
fences. We feel assured that the new enter
prise will receive the patronage that it fully
deserves. Mr.. J. A. Mitchell, who has been
taking orders for the Dayton company, will

has already sold over ten miles of fence here.
