Base Ball.

The second of the series of games
between the Milford and Solar Tip
clubs was played at Milford's grounds
on Friday last. 1t was a most inter-
esting and hard-fought game through
out, and resulted in a victory for the
Milford club.
Milford played very strong game,
while the visitors score showed many
errors. They, however, played hard
and kicked well when there was con-
Yenient opportunity, and held the
score well down.
Stecker, Hollis and Simpler won
much applause for fine catching in the
out and iu-felds, while Strogell and
Demarest surpassed their already high
standard of fine work.
The visitors battery did some of its
greatest work, and succeeded in maxi
ing the balls escape the willow most
exceptionally well.
Hoeveter distinguished himself by
the finest fy-catch made on these
grounds this season, and by his mimi
table coaching.
The score by innings is as follows:

The third and last game Of the series
by these same clubs was played on
Saturday afternoon. In consequence
of the general result depending on the
game there was an extra large attend
ance.
Before the first inning had been fin
ished, the rain which had been threat
ening all day, began lightly, but was
very little annoyance until the fourth
inning was reached, when it came
down heavily. However, the boys
persevered despite the storm until the
end of the seventh inning, when the
umpire called the game.
The score Is as follows:
Solar Tips o.. % o o o Ia
Milford % 90
On Wednesday a game between
Milford and Bridgeville resulted in
the defeat of the visitors, by a score Of
IL to 0. The game was too one-sided
to elicit much interest.
On Tuesday last game was arranged
to have been played between Dover
and Milford, on Dover's grounds, but
the rain prevented.
Manager Prettyman has resigned
and Charles Tuthill has been elected
his successor.
The club has enjoyed much prosper
ity under Mr.. Prettyman's manage

games, from each OF which a fair reve-
nue. has been derived. They haye also

On Sunday night the colored camp
at Swain's woods was formally closed,
aud in parting exhertation the mana
ger, j. Wesley Fountain, thanked the
people in kindly words for their at
tendance and liberal contributions.
He took occasion to express his love
for his people and the work, and as
sGred them that in the event of con-
tinued life and health he would be
with them and aid them next year,
but if called away he said he was sure
his spirit would visit the ground, aud
they must not get scared If it should.
Altogether this has been the most sue
eessful meeting yet held in this grove.
The attendance on Sunday night was
especially large, and included in addi-
tion to the colored worshipers large
number of white citizens.

PRICES of evapOrated fruit, as re-
ported from the city markets, have
given evaporators the "blues." Well,
it is too bad for these men to work
hard and make nothing out Of hand
ling peaches. They are the best
friends the growers have, and the fu-
ture success Of peach-growing in this
country largely depends on prosperity
of evaporators. If they make money
at eVaporatiDg, we have got a certain
market at home that yields more profit
than grain-growing. Force the can
ners and evaporators to the wall. aud
peaches lin five years. would not be
worth five cents net to the grower.
For this reason the growers should be
interested IN the prosperity Of those
engaged in eFapOrating.

WEDNESDAY evenings entertain
nent, given by the Clymer Family in
Dorsey Hall, was rare treat to those
who admire instrumental music. In
this particular the troupe is faultless,
but the evenings program was much
broken by the absence Of the Misses
Lizzie and Laura Clymer, who were
incapaeitated by illness. But even
with this great disadvantage the enter
tainment was very enjoyable. and
merited much better patronage than
it received in Milford. The receipts
approximated $40. 1t is hoped they
will make return date, in which
event they will doubtless be better pa
trOnized.

CARLISLE LANE is in sad condition.
The pavements are broken and mis-
placed, all OvergrOwn with tall weeds
and even bushes, making the sidewalk
ruinous TO the skirts of ladies VINO are
compelled to pass that way on foot in
damp weather, or after the dew moist
ems the weeds in the evening. Such a
condition of things is a disgrace to the
town, and speaks in no unmistakable
manner oe the thriftlessness and want
of consideration for the rights of the
public and sense of decency which ex-
lists both with owners and tenantry
among whom such things are allowed.

What to Wear.

This is the first week in the first
fall month, and 1t is time to think of
preparing for cooler weather. The
coal must be purchased any way, and
so must the stock of winter supplies

preserved fruits aud vegetables; but
with most men the thought comes !:
"ShalI I get a fall suit or wait until
winter?" II wisdom tones the answer
it will be "yes!' In looking through
the large stock of new middle weight
styles that have, aud are constantly

You Garry

A whole medicine chest in your pocket,
with one box of Ayers Pills. As they
operate directly on the stomach and
bowels, they indirectly affect every
other organ Of the body. When the
stomach is out Of order, the head is

easy victim to any prevalent disease.
Miss NJ. E. Boyle, of wilkesbarre, Pa,

she says: al use no other medicine

any one needs, and just splendid to save
