The long talked of game of ball was
played between the Cheyenne and Raw
Inns clubs Sunday afternoon. The weather
was all that could be desired, and the
game was witnessed by a large number Of
people. The game was played at the new
fair grounds, and the field had been
graded and rolled so as to make 1t an ex
cellent place for the game.
The score by innings was as fellows.
, 1886-08-10
The score by innings was as follows

HThe Cheyennes did not play their
ninth inning, as they were so far ahead
and the Rawlins men had to catch the
train.
Both clubs had excellen. batteries, al
though it was evident that the C~heyennes
had the best. The most interesting fea-
lures of the game were the base ru ming
by the Cheyenne nine and a long hit to
center field by Ed Leighton, of the same
team, by which he made a home run.
The Cheyenne club will play a return
game at Rawlins Aug. 30. and it is ex-
pected that they will not have it so easy.

The saIuda Music Association.

--.----
i The SaIuda Music Association. a
| Mr. EDIToR:--Probably some OF
your reuders would like to know how
the Salada Musical and Mutual I'm
provement Association terminated.
The Association met with Peters
Creek Church on the 5th Saturday
and SSnthy and had beautiful tim,
for the occasion The whole time was
devoted to singing, with the exception
of 80 minutes on Sunday, which was
given tc Prof. Williams, of Spartan
burg, for the purpose of making
lecture on music; and to say of the
Prof. the time was well spent, for we
believe him to be an aide teacher,
both vocal and instrumental.
There were not many in attendance
on Saturday, but those who were
there enjoyed themselves splendidly,
for these was no scarcity of girls or
of provision, and that suits the Sec
rotary for he likes both, and to say of
all he would like for the 5th Sunday
to come little oftener.
The Association with pleasure gave
Prof. Williams and his class, from
Berca Church, where no has been
teaching n singing school, the priv
leGe on Saturday and Sunday of sing
ing as many pieces as they pleased.
The Prof. had his class in splendid
practice. The Association also had
the pleasure of being led in singing
both on Saturday and Sunday by two
of tho students of Prof. Williams
school, which showed that they had
been properly trainedby their teacher.
Mr.. Lawson on Saturday and Mr..
Brazcale on Sunday. The Young Ia
dy students with Professor sang their
parts well. Miss Alice Linsy one of
the young ladies acted rs organist for
him while he was singing his piece,
which added much to the singing.
at 7 o'clock in the evening the mass
meeting took place. Temperance was
the subject and it was we'll spoken on
by Rev. G.. w. Singleton, Rev. Thos
Loopcr. j IT. Chillers, and j. p
Loopcr. The association then ad
joumed until ninc o'clock on Sunday
We were sorry to see SO many Of the
speakers, that were invited to attend
were absent. Of course sickness pre-.
vented some, b,u. not ALL Gentle
men give us your presence at the
next meeting, for the association
wauld be glad to hear from You, and
to know your views on the all impOr-
tant subject of temperance.
Cross Roads pctitioncd for the next
meeting OF tho body to lie with them
which will be on the 9th Saturday
anGSun'lay in january and WAS gran
ted with pleasure, for there are plent,
- of girls i'll that community and the,
know how to cook.
The association, after rcturnin,
many thanks TO the citizens of Peter
Creek for their kind and hospitabl
manner of entertaining the body, an,
thanking the SENTINEL for pubIishin,
the programme, adjourned by prayc
) from the Rev. G. w. Singleton

Grover Cleveland, President, and
John c. Sheppard, Governor, have by
proclamation, appointed Thursday, the
25th day of November, rs the proper
time for the public celebration of di-
vine goodness. We cannot infer from
this circumstance that either of the
said gentlemen was, or is now su-
perintendent of Sabbath School; or
that either of them, at his daily meals
"makes beginning" otherwise than
by reversing his plate. 1t WIS an
official act done in respect TO the
christian religion, and custom The
people Of the States are by profession
christians. The compact upon which
the Union is based recognizes God as
the "giver of every good and perfect
.rIgift," and the rulers would remind
the people Ehnt ehey should publicly
acknowledge the goodness of God, by
some special act of worship. A day
of thanksgiving, fasting and prayer
was once fashionable, but now the
general rule is feasting. Many wor-
shipping congregations meet in the
church to be thankful, and then has
ten to their homes, to feast on the
thanksgiving turkey and cranberry
sauce.
But this is great opportunity
for him who believes there is n God
who will render unto every man ac-
cording to his works, whether they
be good Or evil. This day the an
gel will come down and trouble the
waters, and it is not who can, but
whosoeyer will, let him step i'll and be
made whole. If you have realized
bright earthly hopes and are living
today in their full enjoyment, be
thankful to Him who has made it
possible for you to possess o life be
yond the grave, which is the eternal
fruition of all hope. If you have
been disappointed, be thankful that
you may be assured of life to come
in which there is no disappointment
II death has invaded your family
and sorrow has settled down on youl
home like night, how thankful yol
should be for the assurance that thor
is zone family in heaven and OF
earth, and that when all the chillrc
are gathered into the Fathers hous
not made with hands, there will b
no night there, mother any sorrow
If your actions and your words hay
been misconstruod, and friends chan
gcd to foes, how thankful you shoul,
be that the Judge of all knowetl
every heart, and thai lie is tho ''sam,
yesterday, to-day nnd forever"
Every condition in life calls fol
Thanksgiving and praise, but how few
will acknowledge their dependence
and gratitude by any special act O.
worship. AS YOU hope to be forgiven
this is the day for you to forgive CIV
'eryone against whom you have any
