The Arizona champion., 1886-07-10
burst of speed has seldom been wit.

The Winsiow base ball club, fine looking set of young men, put in an appearance, prepared to meet all corners. Our home nine, owning to their various occupations, could not all get together at one time, so match could not be arranged.
 The ladies on horseback most noticeable for their skill, bearing and grace, were Mrs. A. C. Morse, Miss Jennie Beale and the Misses Hoxworth. They all rode SO we'll and exhibited such fine specimens of horsemanship that it would appear invidious to make any comparison.
 MT. Geo. Hoxworth, looking every inch a soldier in his G. A. R. uni form, kindly undertook the unthank- full duties of policeman at the grounds, but his office was sinecure, except when the people in their eagerness crowded on to the race track, then his firm but good natured "stand back, gentlemen, and give the racers chance" was instantly obeyed, only to be ignored the moment his back was turned.
 Some smarties were shrewd enough to lay low and take every bet they could get from any over enthusiastic admires of favorite as against the field They reaped quite harvest.
 Through the courtesy of J. N. Berry, the CHAMPION office vas appropriately decorated.
 D. M. Riordan. Supt. of the Aver Mill company, presided over the literary exercises with his accustomed grace and dignity.
 The hardest worked man in con- nection with whole afalr, and his services were voluntary and heartily given, was MT. John yining, the light ming conjuror. He was here. there and everywhere all at once, and an- swered fifty questions every fifty minutes about as many different things but his good nature never forsook him for a moment. We are all in- debted to "Jack" for much of the days success.
 The members of Ransom Post, CA. R., though few in numbers, pre- sented martial app-arance in their new uniforms, and marched like vet crans, as they are.
 MT. Ed, E. Abell, of Albuquerque. was knocked down by one of the race horses, and the muscles of his right knee were badly sprained by the fall He at once placed himself under the C Ire of pr. Brannen, and will soon be all right again.
 ". L. Van Horn, our universal genus, can not only colch the young Idea, boss a choir, edit paper, and practice law, but on Monday he blew the big drum with such vlgor and pre- cisiJn that the people hal to keep step to the music of the Union.
 Andrew Smith, general superinten- dent ot the A. & P. R R., to whose kindness Tn granting passes to the Brakemen thclr families and all ladies, and red duction of fares to all others we are indebted for much of the suc- ces of the ball, was for while an in- lerested spectator, but so pleased was he with me general management of the ball and the harmony aud good nature which prevailed, that he could not resist the temptation, but joined lu the dance and seemed to enjoy it immensely.
 The Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen, although only organized Sept. g, 1883, already has a member ship of over 10000 win lodges all over the United States. Their motto , "Benevolence, SoDrlety and Indus try" sufficiently indicates the objects ol the organization. Benevoleuce they exercise in the broadest sense of thar word, not only in acts of ordinary 7 charity towards each other, but in raising up and sustaining a fallen brother by precept, example and money, II necessary, and they only drop him when the case is utterly r n,peiess. This. in connection with an active exercise of the other virtues sounely and industry, has steadily rA.sed the standard ot the Brother. hood until What at first appeared to 0 De menace to rlilrJad managers is , now recognized as one of their most 6 powerful auxlliaries'
