The Famous Old Reds.

Inc funOuS otu ENeubs
In chat about the famous Cincinnati Reds
of 1869 Harry Wright says: THAT team
was rather easy to handle, although Sweasy
and Leonard would occasionally kick over
the traces, and Doug Allison had TO be treated
very gingerly at tunes. 1t was not an expen-
sive nine either. My brother George re-
ceived the highest salary-s1, ,00O-and they
ran from his figures down to $500. l have
here memorandum of our expenses and re-
ceipts during 1870. We took in $50, 726.26 and
spent $50, ,724.S7. The team cost s., ,962.2 90, and
we paid out in travelling expenses $2,2l2.53.
Among other expenditures that year was
s7l75 for gymnasium, so you see that the
claim that the st. LOUIS was the first to send
its players to such place is unfounded.
"All the members of the club are alive to-
day. George, as you know, is IN Boston in
business for himself; Gould is deputy sher'
III in Cincinnati; Waterman has a saloon i'll
the same city: Allison is back in PHILADELPHIA
at his old trade, marble cutting; Leonard is
a clerk in the water board of Newark;
Branerd, the last time heard from him,
was running a Billiard room on Staten Island; F;
Sweasy is, Think, working at his trade
McVey keeps saloon in San Francisco, and
Hurley, the substitute, believe, is q lawyer
in Cincinnati. The nine disbanded after 1871:
part of the team went to Boston with me and
the others to Washington. 1t was great
team and its record still remains unequalled."

So far the smallest kind OF crowds have at
tended the American association games at
Kansas City, and this is what o. p. Caylor
has to say with reference TO the condition OF
things down there:
"I believe my predictions are to be verified
that the American association made a sacri-
flee of its interests for the sake of playing in
the Brooklyn clubs pockets when it accepted
Kansas City as the new city. The chances
are decidedly good that Kansas City will be
q big loser from the start as an American
association member The Western league
club is bound TO pull off big slice of base
ball patronage, and there is not enough alto
gether to run one good salaried club Kansas
City is one of the most booming cities in
America to-day, but somehow they don't go so
much on base ball up there as they do in
other towns. The people are probably too
busy building houses and digging down bluffs
to the street level. There is certainly at this
time two patrons in Kansas City for the
Western league club to one for the Associa-
tion club. This is an undeniable fact"

Near Sharptown, on Tuesday, as Morris.
son of DR.. Newton, was driving along in a
carriage, he was challenged to a race by a
young man on horse back. which challenge
he accepted, and the race began forthwith.
On nearing SharDtown a COW belonging to
Charles B. Humphreys blocked the way of
the racers, and the result was a collision
between the carriage and the COW break
ing a wheel of the carriage and causing
the horse to break loose and run away.
Matters were Strengthened up in due time,
and little damage resulted except that
mentioned.

ADeiigntfui I'm tertainment.

The entertainment given in the Opera
House last Saturday night by Mr.. T.. w.
Brewster, for the benefit of the w. c. T..
L. of Woodstown, was fully equal in gen.
uine merit to any performance given in
that house since its opening thee years
ago. Mr.. Brewster seems to know what
the public need in the way of neat and re-
fined amusement, and furnishes an enter
tainment creditable to himself and enjoyed
by his audiences. The first part of his
programme consisted of a number of Won
derful illusions, so deceiying as to leave
his audience amazed with wonder, COM
prising many of the manifestations usually
said to be produced by means of spiritual
agencies, such as the naturalization of
clouds. production of living flowers in a
marvellous manner, raising of tables, etc.
But the most wonderful and most pleasing
part of the performance was the ventrilo-
ouism. in which particular gift Mr.. Brew
ster probably stands without his equal in
this country. 1t required considerable
faith and confidence to be led to believe
that all the talk going on between him and
his family of blcckheadss was coming
from one person, but such was the case,
and therefore the wonder. His illustrated
voyage TO Rome, starting from Boston
harbor, with the return trip by way OF
New York to Woodstown, given by the
aid of the powerful oxy-hydrogen light,
and innumerable colored views, was SUI
premely grand. and the audience were al
most forced to believe that they were trav-
cling with the lecturer, so perfect was the
Illusion. Mr.. Brewster's assistant, Miss
Neva Haydn, is an accomplished musician,
and the entire performance vas enjoyable
in Che highest degree. The Union is con-
siderably the better, financially, for his
coming, and should he ever appear 10
Woodstown again, the chances are that he
will crowd the house.
Mr.. brewster is a native of Brldgetou,
but several years ago settled in Riverton,
this State, where he resides when not
travelling, and, as we have been informed,
is one of the solid men of the town.
