Children's College Day was observed by the
Church of God Sunday School, in Uniontown,
June 21st. Each school in the church was
furnished with programme, so that similar
sarviee was held in nearly all the schools
throughout the Elderships
The day was q pleasant one, and large
and attentive audience encouraged the school
by being present. Happy little faces shone,
sweet voices were raised in singing praises,
cheerful hands and hearts laid their offerings
in the basket. 1t truly was a season of re-
joicing in the Lord.
The exercises opened with an anthem, 81
love the Lord, " followed by scripture lesson
and prayer in behalf of the College essay,
'What is Education ?'' by j. P. Garner; a
Bible reading and song by the little girls which
was SO well done that it needs commentator;
essay, "What the College will do for US :"
by Anna Segafoose Christ; music, and select
reading, ''Ode to WISDOM by A. Lima
Segafoose; address, sour Purpose in OBJ
serving the Children College Day, by Elder
Winbigler
In reply to the query. 'How much can we
do for the College ~ the offerings were
brought forward. Amounts collected by the
children: Bernetta Yingling, 81 cents; Edgar
Yingling, S1.08; Harry Harbaugh, Sl.50; Ned
Segafoose Christ, $500; Cora Price, $1.00;
Katie Davis, 40 cents; Ella Hartman, 81 cents;
Minnie Garner, $500; Bertha Winbigler,
$3.50; Laura Price, S1.05; Thornton Sega
foose Hiteshew, $500; Marshall Fry, SO cts;
congregation, $17.70; total, $3.50.
Each child that collected money was re-
warded with card. The school is small, but
has come forward nobly to help Findlay Col
lege. The building is being erected at Find
lay, Ohio, and by the help of the church will
be completed and opened September, 1885.

In onr last we stated that the School Com
missioners had selected a site for the new
school house to be erected in this place, but
did not mention the parties who owned the
property. 1t is on a lot belonging to Mr.

now to let them have the ground at the same
price that other lots are selling at in town.
The town still keeps on improving. Three
new dwellings are being erected here, besides
made. Mr.. John I. Knox has his house
under roof Miss Mary E. Grifee has Dor .;ht
house and fraction over an acre from G.

Children's Day at Centenary Methodist
EpiScOcaI Church.

Children's Day exercises were held at Cen
tenary NJ. E. Church, this city, on Sunday
last. AT 1910 a. M. there a platform
service in which the school and congregation
united. There was singing by the children of
the school and addresses by Judge John E.
Smith and Rev. DIR. Ward, President of West
ern Maryland College. Both addresses were
appropriate, instructive and much enjoyed by
the large audience present.
At 8 p. m. the children service was held. The
exercises were opened by singing Gloria Patri,
followed by all repeating the Apostle Creed,
and prayer by Rev. G. A. Reid The singing
was in charge of Mr.. Frank Mitten, and Miss
Fannie Fringer, presiding at the organ, and
the Messrs. Morelock accompanied with the
cornet and earionet. The music was appro
pirate and well rendered. The exercises and
recitations by the children and young ladies
were all interesting and suited to the occasion
All the children did well. The church was
tastefully and beautifully decorated with pot
and cut flowers. A large and apprecative
audience filled the spacious audience room
of this the largest church in Westminster. The
services of this Children's Day were of espec-
ial interest, and will doubtless long be re-
membered by many who were present.

The Westminster Base Ball Club on Mon
day last, the 22d, won the most remarkable
victory in their history, defeating Barnie's
Baltimore team by a score of to Z. The
visitors presented their strongest fielding and
batting team, and had everything in favor of
their winning, but the Westmlnsters won by
coolly outplaying them in the field and by
their we'll timed hits and magnificent base
running. Driscoll pitched cool, steady
game. but the visitors, confident of victory,
and in good trim, struck him hard and often,
piling IN a total of eighteen bases on clean
hits. besides many long flies. They were un-
able to bunch them, however, and more than
once their best batters were retired on strikes
or little balls when a good hit, or even good
base running, might have won the game.
Their errors were ill-timed and costly and the
Westminsters took full advantage of them
and nut in their hits where they would tell.
Their great success in this and other games
is due largely to their fine plays at critical
points, always doing their best work when the
bases are full. The fielding and batting of
Greer was perhaps the best feature OF the
game. Bankert in right field, and Zecker,
Miller and Erek in the diamond, were also
leaders in the fielding and played perfect
game. Greer, Schweitzer and Nicholas led at
the bat for the Westminsters; Casey, Trott
and Foreman for the visitors. Nicholas and
Trott both caught fine games, Trott being
great on foul flies. The errors of Burns,
Gardner and Sommers were most costly. The
game was altogether a surprise to all, espe
cially to the s'Orioles,' who had come up
with the intention of shutting out the country
club; but after the capture of Sommers' ter.
rife line ball to Miller in the first inning and
the scoring of three runs, they began to grow
anxious and played all the ball that they
could, but the home club won on its merits
and sent the visitors home with a severe les
son. The score follows:

During the week farmers have been busliy

There were not very many people at Odd

F. Duane, X. I. X, but those that were
present enjoyed ninety minutes of solid fun,
and when the balance of the population learn
from them of the real enjoyment they got out
of the entertainment they will regret they
were not present also. Mr.. Duane started his
audience to laughing when he first appeared
on the stage, and they were loath to leave
when he left at the close of the entertain
ment. His character sketches were all ex-
eellent, and showed a versatility of talent
rarely ever possessed by one person. He was
equally good in all sketches, though the Cir
of the PERIOD was perhaps most enjoyed.
His rapid changes were surprising, and as
character artist he has no superiors and few

benefit he appeared here, was present, and
added much to the entertainment by then
