LAMpERrvIuLE, Sept. "a, 1888


To EDITOR LAMBERTvILLE RECORDS:
In your issue of the 10Th inst, you say
"The Prohibition vote in Maine and YER
mont, as compared with 1884 and 1880.
has decreased"
The statement is correct as compared
to 1886, but when compared with that OF
1884, It will be seen that in both States
there has been large increase.
The Prohibition vote for Governor in
Maine this (fsss) year, is 2 Ell; same vote
In 1884, was Ito; showing an increase
of SOL votes.
The Prohibition vote for Governor in
Vermont this (1SsS) year, is 1850; same
vote 10 1884, was 200; showing an increase
of 100 votes.
Please correct the error.

Base Ball Notes.
A good game was played between Fl.
A. Downs, champions of Trenton and the
Lambertville Club, and was won by the
Lambertvilles. The pitching of Hurley
was wonderful, be striking out twelve of
the eighteen men at the bat, the game be-
ing called in the sixth inning on account
of the rain. Callan caught good game,
Hurley and Callan putting seventeen of
the eighteen men out, something never
accomplished on the grounds before. T.
Thorne, Wolverton, Schenck, Jewell, S.
Thornc, Colligan and Knowlan, all play
ed well. The same mines will play
again some time next week, in this city,
and as the Downs won the FIRST game by
a score offs to 2, there will be, no doubt,
q large crowd to see them play the third
game.
The following is the score:

true story of the origin aud first APP.
pearance of that dramatic poem OF
Thomas Buchanan Read, '.Sheridan's
Ride, of which so many varying &C.
counts have been published, aud none

Murdoch and Read were warm friends.
Murdoch had for many months dating
from the death of his son at Chicka.
msugua-devoted his entire time and
great talents to the ciuse of the Union,
IN the form of readings and Rotations
for the benefit OF that grand organiza.
ton, the Sanitary Commissions; con.
tributing by his personal efforts tens of
thousands of dollars for the comfort and
relief OF the soldiers in the field. 1t was
a noble work and nobly done, and as a
happy and proper recognition of it he
was to be ''the recipient of an ovation"
at Pixies Opera House, Cincinnati, ten
dered him by the ladies of the Soldiers
Aid societies of Ohio.
BE was at that time--the battle of
Winchester had just been fought, and
the ceremony was to take place on the
evening of the day speak OLA guest

Cincinnati. Mr.. Read, the poet painter,
was making his home with that gentle.
man, who was his brother. in.law. AT
breakfast Mr.. Garrett came to the table
witha cppy OF "Harper's Weekly which
contained a spirited picture of Sheridan
on the black horse dashing down the
lines; he threw the paper on the table,
remarking: There, Read, they have
got ahead of you this time with the
picture, and il you don't look out they
will take the bread out of you mouth by
writing poem. y
Murdoch said Eyes, Read, write
poem and I will give it this evening";
to which Read replied II cannot do it.
You cannot order poem as you would

There is no need to refute the lie about
the reduction of the Mills bill being only
8 or per cent. as alleged by the free
trade organs. Figure 1t out for yourself.
The total customs duties collected 10 1887
were $212, 900, 000 Now, 8 per cent. Of
this amount would be $40, 900, 900 in
round figures, and per cent. would be
about $14, 600, 0C0. Yet Mills admits him
self, in bis official report, that he RENTS
about $50, 10000 or nearly one quarter
of all the customs duties.

troll the team and ruu the wagon into the
fence, but was unable to do 80. One
of the horses fell to kicking, and Mr..
Hamilton was thrown out of the wagon.
The team then started on down the hill,
dragging the wagon In which the ladies'
were seated, after them. The pole ran
into the ground aud broke of, the team
freed itself, and thus the inmates of the
carriage escaped injury. Mr.. Hamilton
was severely cut and bruised, but no
bones were broken. 1t was narrow es-

the home team played an earnest and
"stiff" game, Hurley being as effec-
tive as usual. Cuddy also did well 10
the box, but the Lam bertville's batted
hard, and getting poor support 10 the
visitors lost the game. One Of the special
features of the game was Callan's fine
throwing to second as also was Manser's
running catch in left field. On account Of
rain, the umpire declared the game ca lied
in favor of Lambertville, at the ending OF
VI Q sixth inning. Although It has been
said that Lambertville could never finish
a game under visiting umpire, without
