BASE BALL NOTES.
The Westminster club came home yester-
day friday morning, and all were pretty
well tired out. On Monday of last week they
travelled "a miles to Baltimore and played
with the N Y. Clothing House club in the
afternoon, and again with the same club on
Tuesday. They next went to Harrisburg,
Pa, distance of 80 miles, and played We'd
nesday and Thursday Their next trip was
about l25 miles to Lockhaven, where they
played Friday and Saturday. Then they pro-
ceeded to Williamsport, about 40 miles, and
played on Monday and Tuesday last. After
an So mile ride they landed in Wilkesbarre,
where games were played on Wednesday and
Thursday. From Wilkesbarre home was
about $50 miles. Thus the club has played
every day Except Sunday for ten days,
playing ten games with strong clubs, and
have travelled between 500 and $50 miles
Besides, they played game in Baltimore on
July 4th, the Saturday before they started on
their trip, and travelled 68 miles on that day.
The Westminsters have not only been hard
worked, by travel and ball playing thus max
ing them show to disadvantage, but they had
to play two games with a club that had col
ored player (Loekhaven), and at the same
place had colored umpire to call strikes on
them. In the ten games played on their trip
they won three and lost seven. Driscoll and
Schweitzer both had sore arms after the Har-
risburg games. The boys say they can defeat
any of the clubs when they are in good trim.
Clabaugh came home last Saturday, leaving
the Westminsters after the second game with
the Harrisburgs. The latter club disbanded
after their games with our club, and Mitchell,
the 1st baseman, went on the balance of the
trip with the Westminsters. Clabaugh left
here again on Tuesday afternoon to rejoin the
club at Wilkesbarre, and B. F. Grouse, the
umpire, accompanied him.
The Westminsters were umpired out of the
second Harrisburg game, Just as the ADVOCATE
surmised last week. The umpire held the
Harrisburgs at the bat until they tied the
Westminster score, and in the tenth and last
inning, the Harrisburgs being last at the bat,
were held there until they had scored suffi-
cient number of runs to win the game.

From Presbyterian Observer, July II.
The Presbytery of Baltimore, at its June

WHEREAS, New Windsor College is now, under
Presbyterian auspices, an established success, and
WHEREAS. New Windsor church is the house of

and improvement beyond the ability of the congre-

dents of the college. the congregation has now in
bank on interest the sum of 500 towards the i'm
proyement required; therefore
Resolved That this Presbytery, approaching the
importance of our interests at this place, do cordial
y and earnestly recommend all our people to Sec

were handsomely entertained at a bountiful

lady, did the honOrs of the occasion, and the
tables were served by the students of the col
lege.
The Rev. Dr. Carter, the first pastor of the
church and the first president of the college,
being present, was called on. He spoke of
his experience in his work as missionary in

materials, and all skillfully disposed.
