Lewis, son of w. w. Delano, OF
Elmore, has returned from the West,
where he has been for the past seven
years. MI. Delano graduated from
the p. A and M. G.. S. in the class
of 70, and Immediately went West,
where he pursued a partial course in
college and then went into business.
He is looking healthy and rugged,
and we infer that western life agrees
with him.

George Goodrich and Levi Gle,
with their wives, visited Saratoga last |
week. They report an excellent time |
but say that it was a hard task to |
look after George. When the train
reached Burlington he got off, tried
the lemonade at the restaurant, and
was gazing about, wheE the train
started out. George had no difficulty /
in getting on, but wien he observed
that only half the train was moving
and that he was on that half, and then |
realized that the lunch baskets and |
the balance of the party were behind,
he wept. The conductor tried to
comfort him, He told George if he
didn't fall off he would probably see
bis folks again, and advised him not
to run around alone in the future.
George promised, and after couple
of hours of separation he was re-
stored to his family. They didn't
lose sight of him again. If we haven't
got it just right, ask George about it,
The game of ball Saturday between
the ''Creepers" and "No Names"
called out a large number of specta-

from the start and held it to the end
of the game, although the playing on
both sides was excellent. The weak
point of the home club seemed to be
in their batting. The receipts were
about S35, which was divided between
the TWO clubs. The "Creepers' had
three new men in their club, but we
suppose this is all right. When Gle
gets on to the curved ball our boys
will not take back seats for any club
in the State. Following is the score:
Innings,
Creepers, 0-R
No Names, u
