A PLEASANT AFFAIR.

Reception and Musicale Given ut Miss
Psrrsn's School.
A very pleasant reception and musicale
occurred at Miss Parran's school for young
ladies, on Twelfth street, last evening,
and the fashionable gathering Of ladies
and gentlemen present enjoyed the occa-
sion most thoroughly. The parlors of the
residence were handsomely decorated
with flowers and the scene indeed was q
pretty one.
The guests were received by the young
ladies assisted by Miss Parran, in very
charming manner, and all were made to
feel perfectly at home. There was no
formal programme arranged, but during
the evening a very enjoyable informal one
was rendered. 1t opened with a pretty
chorus by the young ladies, followed by
piano solo by Miss Carrie
LOOMS; recitation by Miss
Blanche Hoge, piano solo By Miss
Bessie Lamb, piano solo by Miss Mamie
Fisher, recitation by Miss Hulda Della
plain, piano solo by Miss Mass Woods,
a recitation by Miss Bessie Lamb, piano
solo by Miss Sadie Mead, and ended with q
chorus by the young ladies. All the per-
formers acquitted themselves in a charm
ing manner and received warm applause.
Miss Paran's school is now in splendid
condition, and is growing day by day.
This was the first of series of receptions
to be given by the young ladies, and they
will no doubt prove as enjoyable as was
last evenings.

OUR SECOND DEFEAT.
WHEELING DROPS A CANE TO JACKSON,
YESTERDAY.
The Visitors Play Strong Cams and Hit tia Ball
Hard - 0thg Games and
Notes.

Yesterday was another uulucky day for
the Wheeling base bsll nine, and it Is
generally attributed to the fact that Man
ager Buckenberger did not have his mas
cote "Toby" on the grounds. 1t was an
other fair Singing mitch. and both sides
hit the ball hard, thu Jscksons getting q
little the best of it as far as hits were con-
earned. Flanagan was in the box for the
home team and the visitors seemed TO solve
his delivery with very little trouble, and
they hit at times when hits counted.
Flanagan seemed to be in no shape to
pitch, for his work had listless air that
had a rather discouraging effect on the
PLAYERS, as well as on the handful of peo.
pie present to witness the game. The
game was close and exciting enough to
suit any one, but with the bases full sew
eral times when hit would have brought
in q score or two, Wheeling batters went
up and famed the air.
There is no denying the fact that luck
was dead against the home team, but they
worked hard to overcome it, and would
have done 80 had not the heavy rain COM
ing up at the beginning Of the ninth inning
put stop to the game. Just think of four
home runs only netting five runs. That
was discouraging in itself Fitzsimmons, q
new man, pitched for the Jacksons, and he
held the home sluggers down in fine shape
This was his first game with jackson and
he made a good record. ''Puggy" Speidel
played at first for Jackson and he made a
clean record, and he also made fine single
hit just where it was needed.
Following is the official score:
