about cattle-herding from the white men who

score Of six to five, won in the ninth inning

Ing In Ardner and Calvin. In the eighth the
Sandusky catcher threw his ankle out of
place running for foul aud tainted when 1t
was pulled back. Calvin and Cady were the
battery. Springfield scored nine base hits
and six errors. The Register says the game
was very holly contested and well played on
both sides. Each side scored run in the
second and Springfield two In the fourth.
One each in the seventh and Id the
eighth. San niusky made three runs taking
the lead. The second game Tuesday was
much more one-sided with Kelly and Faa,z
a. the battery. Springfield played steady
game and won by score Of 10 to 2, SAN
dusky's rurs being scored on errors, both in
the ninth inning. Spingfelds runs were
made, one IN the first, one in the third, five
10 the fourth, and three in the eighth. Yak,
the regular Ssudusky catcher, was crippled
and could not hold bis place, the substitute
making several costly errora. Fas,s played
without an error and Kelly was again very
effective. Sandusky could not hi, him at all.

Had II been possible to have kept an exact
record Of the books consulted In the Library.
at least 1000 more might be added to the
total circulation this year, for not less than
10 to rs persons per day have availed them
selves Of this privilege. If the cramped and
uncomfortable space that can only b. allotted
TO this department, could be removed for
something better, it would soon become still
more valuable by leading to further research
and study In every part Of the Library.
Some points In the fnal results for this
year are worthy OF special notice. viz: That
there has been steady advance
In each class Of reading. except
Juvenile; that the remarkable increase
OF circulation in the classes of history. travels,
etc., where new books were largely added in
lSs3-S4 shows that good results are only OBJ
tainable through ample means we'll used !:
that the careful selection OF books has been
pleasing to our citizens; that the work such
a circulation involves. having been accom-
plished by SO few (tour) persons, justifies the
methods IN use; ard finally that, when COM
pared with other libraries 10 the State aud
elsewhere-for instance, DAYTON, with its
10000 volumes and about $4,000 circulation;
and Toledo with 1894 volumes aud 7s,O64
circulation-the fact is made plain that no
library in the State, and few, II any, In the
United States, Of equal size In number OF vol
umes, shows better record.
READING ROOM
The number of daily visitors to the Read
ing-rom has exceeded that of any previous
year, owing partly TO the fact that during the
cold weather many were out OF employment
and found IN the Reading room much that
was profitable to their minds. The room,
however, has been better supplied with pa
