The first entertainment to be held in
the assembly room of Rock Islands new
high school occurred last evening. The
room was quite well filled by an audi
ence composed of many of the represents
alive people of the city. 1t must be very
encouraging to the high school that the
first entertainment was attended by an
audience of as high character as that as
sembled last evening. The room was
brilliantly lighted by two chandeliers of
a new style and process, by which the
gas Is enriched and made to give fuller
and softer light than with the common
burner. and the beautiful finish of the
building showed to advantage.
Mr.. Russell has a pleasing presence
and graceful manner, which, with an ex

various selections most acceptably to his
hearers. An indistinctness in enuncia-
ton renders it difficult to follow him in
all parts. His voice 10 sweet and full,
and his songs were even more pleasing to
his audience than his readings
The best rendered of his numbers was
doubtless the ghost scene from
Hamlet and the most pleasing of his
songs, "The Cradle Song" lately COM
posed by Homer A. Norris. The young
people were apparently better pleased
with the college song. The audience
showed itself thoroughly in sympathy
with the reader, who expressed himself as
delighted with his reception. Miss Clara

evening by her excellent Accomplishments
to the songs. The following was the

Strictly speaking, the only redeeming
feature of the ball game between the
Sunnysides aud Shadysides yesterday
afternoon was the object for which the
game was played-a benefit for st. Luke's
hospital, But of course the audience did
not expect to see professional game, and
it was not disappointed. The names
of the players and their positions were as
follows. but it was found necessary to
make many changes before the game was
concluded: Sunnysides-Lee Gait, catch.
er; Lynde, pitcher; John Gait, LIST base;
Young, I'd base; Blocker. Sd base Mum
ger, short stop; Mcdonald, left field
Young, center field; Bennett, right field.
Shadysides-M Meyer; catcher; Brough,
I'd base; Adams, Bird base; Cook short
stop; Reidy. left field Agnew, center
field, Lloyd, right field.
Jerry Cavanaugh. the old Rock Island
catcher acted as umpire. and called the
game at $50. The Sunnysides were
first to bat. John and Lee Gait made
base hits aud Lynde got to first on balls,
the three eventually scoring, Frank and
NJ. j. Young and Mcdonald went out. In
the second Munger made a clean hit. and
Blocker stood up and let the ball hit
him. but Bennett didn't get in the way of
the ball and failed to hit it. J. Gait
reached first and Lee Gait had two
strikes called on him, waiting for John
to go to second, and chided him for not
hustlihg his stumps Lee made vain
attempt to hit the ball on the third strike |
Meanwhile Munger, Blocker and John
Gait scored. Lynde again proved him
self good waiter, and got to first on |
balls, but was held up be-
tween second and third. No one
crossed the home plate in the third.
Adams having been put in the box.
Bennett made the only score in the
fourth, getting his base by being hit by
the ball. The fifth was another goose
egg, but Bennett responded nobly in the
slSIn ana mhue anOlnel run. Two more
tallies were secured in the seventh, while
Bennett and John and Lee Gait scored in
the eighth, making a grand total of 10, il
being decided not to play the ninth, as
he energies and wind of the players were
waning.
For the Shadysides Meyers and BrOugh
brought in the only runs in the first

Notwithstanding that Bennett made

when by a curious combination of cir
a whitewash was inevitable,

A more beautiful memorial day than
this has not occurred since the Both OF
May was first set apart by the veterans OF
the war for the purpose OF honoring the
soldier dead, by strewing on their graves
earth's fairest tire assures and decorating
the marble shafts erected in commemora-
ton of the cause for which they fell. 1t
is twenty three years since the great
struggle closed by the surrender of Lee
at Appomattox, and many Of the men
who survive the din of battle have since
answered the long roll and gone to their
last dreamless sieep. Each year thlns
out the ranks of the veterans, and those
who remain to pay this tribute of respect
and assist in the ceremonies are rapidly
nearing the goal themselves, and younger
hands must take up this labor of love
Interest in these beautiful observances
has increased as the years roll on, and
each year has seen mere generous turn
out on this occasion.
