BASE BALL NOTES. Dilworth, the pitcher of
the Newburyport team, is having fair success in
his new field. The greatest difficulty is lack of
support This is particularly true of the catcher,
as it is difficult to find man who can hold Dill
worths terribly swift ialls He uses up a catcher
in nearly every game. A Belfast gentleman who
was in Brockton recently and Witnessed the game
said at the close the uniform Of the Newhuryport
catcher covered with blood from the waist to
the knees, which came from the catchers hands.
Those who have witnessed the easy and graceful
manner in which knowton caught Dilworths
pitching have no idea of the force. hnowton is
OF the best catchers now playing base ball, and
half of Dilworth's success is due to knowlton's
magnificent catching behind the bat. The Boston
Post says "Dilwortn, the now famous pitcher
who has signed with the Newburyports, was once
a 'devl in printing Office. That probably &C
counts for his pitching such devil of a ball"
On saturday the Belfast Juniors went to Jackson
and engaged the team at that place, winning a
victory the Jacksonans in Of "A to IL.
About 800 people witnessed the game. jackson
lost the game through wild throwing and their
inability to bat Pendeton. The Juniors played a
fine game considering the roughness of the field,
and most of their errors were made during the
slight shower, when the ball was slippery and hard
to field One OF the finest plays of the game was
running catch of a high fly by Yeaton, who threw
the ball to Williamson in time to make a double
play. The umpire way off in his decisions on
balls and strikes. After the game the Juniors were
treated to fine supper at the residence of Mrs.
Hatch. AS they left the grounds they gave three
cheers and tiger for the jackson B. B. Club
which were returned with great zeal. The Juniors
had very nice time and are under obligations to
Mrs Hatch for the many favors shown them.
The Jacksons will soon play return game and the
Juniors propose to recprocate the many attentions
shown them while in jackson. The Queen City
base ball nine, Bangor, has disbanded and the
association disorganzed.

Chean But Valuable Advice.

1t is not easy for American women
to res st the influence of pretty things,
and the only way is not to pay much
attention to mere novelties of dress
and fashion, but adhere to certain fixed
and we'll defined rules. BY good
materials, avoid cheap trimmings,
select always such colors as will go
well together, and usually have them
dark. Never wear your best on a
secondary occasion, or when it is like
ly to be subject to severe wear and
tear. Have best dresses cut or made
by best dress-maker, and employ your
own efforts on your house dresses and
washable materials. Use best black
kid gloves, ecru or beige tints. They
wear better than fancy colors, and the
black are better made and can be worn
with all dresses. Never buy cheap
gloves or cheap hosiery-they are a
delusion and a snare. Always have a
plain black walking dress and hand
some black dress, and depend upon cut
and material more than upon ornamen-
tation. If you can embroider yourself
dress, you can make thing Of
beauty with but little cost; but other
wise content yourself with the neat
ness that is the best evidence Of refined
taste. Ladies' Home Journal.

who asked a party Of over three
score years how old a lady would
become before she would relinquish
the idea of marriage, and the answer
was: "My son, 20 ask some one
older than l." People will marry.
II is necessary that they should. But
they should love first. Those who
write of love generally treat the sub
ject with too much levity, and
associate it with soft glances, noon
light walks and poetry. Love and
poetry go hand in hand sometimes.
but poetry is generally left-left
away in the background. The eyoung
man, when he first gets in love, is a
poet in his own conccit. The girl
does not get that way. She has a
practical idea Of love and whether or
not she reciprocates The passion Of
the young fellow who is letting out
his soul to her, she will knock all the
poetry out of him on the first round.
