number of small children assembled at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. B. w. Buckingham,
on West Main street, the event being the cele-
bration of the fourth birthday of their daugh

falling on Sunday, July 9Th, the evening. fol-
lowing was selected for the purpose. From
6 to clock about twenty juveniles were
given the liberty of the house, and the little
folks enjoyed themselves with all conceivable
childish sports. AT 8 o'clock the little ones
were invited to the dining room, where, after
having been playing two hours, their appe-
tites were whetted to keen edge, and all
seemed impatient to make an attack on the
cakes and confectionery before them, and to
which all did ample justice. The little guests
present were Misses Lille, jamie and Irene
Woodward, Florence Mitten, Helen Gorsuch,
Carrie Gehr, lola Keen, Ossie Stitely, Orah

kept busy supplying the wants of the little
guests. The presents were quite numerous
and pretty, consisting of a fancy lunch basket,
an autograph album, fancy cards, toy queens
ware and glassware, fancy little lamp, fruits,
and a small trunk in which all the presents
can be kept secure.

gEsrMINsrER vs.. pAsTIME.

On Saturday. July 4th, the Wesiminsters
played the Pastimc club, of Baltimore, at
Oriole Park, and won, after close and bril-
liant contest, by a score of 6 TO 3. The Pas
time club, being assisted in their batting,
running and fielding by professional coach,
Thos. York, had ten men to the visitors nine,
and played an admirable game. The West.
minister's were rather below their standard
in the field in the first two innings, making
three errors, but they soon found that they
had no child s play before them, whereupon
they settled down to work in earnest, and shut
out the home team to the end of the game.
Montell pitched a very fine game, and his
effectiveness was greatly increased by the
desire of the Westminsters to bat him all over
the field, which led them to hit at any ball
that came up, thus knocking everything into
the fieIders' hands, The Pastimes played
without single error until the sixth inning,
when they broke, and by their errors and
hard hitting in this and the following inning
the Westminsters won the game. In the
eighth, after two of the Pastimes were out,
the bases were filled, and two men were
really put out at bases, but Trott could not
see il. However, Driscoll struck the next
man out and left them all. Driscolf pitching
was feature of the game. He was hit mostly
for scratches, and often struck men out at
critical points. Clabaugh and Zecker led
both at the bat and in the field. Cantz made
two nice catches in left field. but was the
only man who KID for the Westminsters.
For the visitors Guard did some timely hitting
and made phenomenal fly catch, falling on
his face and scooping up the ball with one
hand after hard run. Muncks and Montell
led in batting, and lowering and Watson in
the field. Among the features were Schweit-
zer's double play with Miller, in the second
inning, and remarkable stop by lowering.
The Pastime ran bases remarkably WELL as was
BETTING a club backed by the headwork of
Thos York, their tenth player. The game
was said to be the best played on the Oriole
grounds this year, but, to make things look
better for the Pastimes, the Baltimore papers
accounts of the game and called
score which may may make an unprecedented
witness of the game smile. The score:

rEsnAY's GAME.

On Tuesday, July 18th, the same clubs met
again at the Oriole grounds, and the irwin
chile "country boys again won by to 6.
The PLAYING was almost as clean and brilliant
as on the first day, but the hitting was harder.
The Clothing men, not content with their
already great strength, at great expense pro-
cured Barr the great pitcher and heavy batter
of the Washington Nationals. He did most
of their batting, making three of their six
hits, one being a triple which made three
runs. After the Westminsters tied the game
in the fifth inning, the Clothing men, fearing
defeat, sent Barr in from left field to pitch,
so as to prevent more runs, much to the dis
gust of the spectators, who did not think it
fair play. Driscoll's splendid pitching, how
ever, saved the game, which was won by
Schweitzer's hit and by errors. In the ninth
inning. with man on third base and no
outs, Cantz made running catch in far left
field, then turned and threw the ball all the
way home, catching the man before he could
run in, making one of the finest plays ever
seen on the ground. Zecker and Miller
PLAYED faultless infeld game, and Schweit-
yer led at the bat with two doubles and
single, and made three runs. He made a hit
every time but one, when the pitcher hit him.
Barr and Lewis exceled in the field for the
Clothing men, Barr making a neat double
play by himself on the second base line.
Driscoll and Nicholas, the battery, played a
splendid game, but three hits being made off
Driscoll outside of Barrs three. Seharf
robbed Anders of hit off of Barr by a one
hand catch on the jump. The score:

chlldren,s Day at pleasant Grove.

Children's Day services were helq last sun
day afternoon at Pleasant Grove, Carrollton
circuit. Notwithstanding the rainfall short
time before the exercises began and the
threatening clouds, large congregation was
present. The church was artistlcally trimmed
with evergreens and flowers. The program,
consisting of responsive readings, singing by
the school and recitations by the infant class,
was admirably rendered. While quartet
was being sung, a young lady came forward
carrying a cross covered with evergreens, and
placed it upon the pulpit; several little girls
followed her with bouquets in their hands,
which she placed upon the cross. The quar-
tet being sung was entitled "Resting at the
Cross" This performance rendered the sing,
ing of it especially impressive to thagghttulI
minds; but solo sung by Miss Aggie Read
was the most effectively rendered part OF the
programme Mr.. John Read led the school
in singing, and Miss Emma Yingling presided
at the organ. Rev. j. N. Rawlings, pastor
of the charge few years ago, now residing
in Philadelphia, was present and delivered an an
address,

BASE BALL NOTES.

Quite a number of the citizens of Westmin-
ster went to Baltimore last Saturday to see
the Westminsters do up the Pastimes. They
all got together, or nearly all of them, on the
grand stand. Their presence was scarcely
known, however, until the sixth inning. Up
to that time the Westminsters had been sys-
tematically BANKED, and dead silence pre-
vailed in the Westminster quarter of the grand
stand, while shouts and cheers rent the air
all around over tn success of the Pastlmes,
who had scored three runs-one in the first
and two in the second inning. In the sixth
inning, however, the Westminsters scored q
run, and then the Westminster quarter was
heard FROM Then another run and more
cheers, still another and still more cheers.
The game was now tie. The Pastimes were
BANKED in the seventh inning, while the
Westminsters piled the ash and rolled up
three more runs, and then there came from
forty or fifty Westminster Threats cheers and
yells that about equalled the cheering done
previously by the 1000 Baltimoreans, while
with feet, canes and hands they raised such a
racket as is rarely ever raised at Oriole Park.
They were small in NUMBER but exceedingly
loud.
Cantz did not do very well at the bat last
Saturday, for he had not played for five weeks
or more. He knocked two very long fouls,
and made hard drive to left field, which was
muffed. He distinguished himself by a long
running catch in the left field, very much
after the style of Greers running catches.
The Westminsters won sixteen straight
games, and lost their first on Thursday.
This is remarkable score, considering they
are amateurs and have met some very strong
clubs. Five of their games were won away
from home.
The ADVOCATE, knowing the interest felt in
the Westminster club, arranged to get the
score of its games while away by telegraph.
The total runs it gives to the public as soon as
received.
The Baltimore Sunday Times of to- morrow
will have a sketch of the Westminster club,
together with an account of its performances.
The Westminsters played yesterday in Lock
Haven, Pa, and will play there again to-day
Saturday
Bankert and Anders are both improving at
the bat, and are doing better fielding.

A View variety of Wheat.

heads, that made such q Ane appearance he
was induced to gather all he could find, which
Welded not quite quart. This wheat he
seeded by itself, and it gave him fine crop,
the heads averaging FIVE inches in length,
This was reseeded, and he has continued to
cultivate this wheat annually, until the pres

bushels. 1t is large red berry, and weighs
about 81 pounds to the bushel. Mr.. Tener
