Tho Christmas BAN.

The ball given by Humboldt Lodge
No. %, A. Q. U. w. at their Hall last
night was a brilliant affair, the hall
being filed by an assembly Of the
youth and beauty of our town, while
those of more advanced ago whose
looks are sprinkled with gray were
not wanting. The grand march
opened at 8:45 with twenty two
couples, at the conclusion Of which
six sets formed in a quadrille, and
from that time until the close of the
festivities pleasure ruled the hour.
The music, consisting of violin, piano
and cornet, was excellent, the latter
instrument adding materially to the
delightful melody of the orchestra.
The members OF the Order are to
be congratulated on the successful
entertainment given on this occasion,
and those who participated will re-
member with pleasure the A. o. u. w.
Christmas ball of 1889.

barking and running at the nose is
identical with the epizootio that some
years ago afflicted horses in the

SIGNED ARTICLEs.
The Gusky and Kaufman Teams Finally
Come to Terms,

Representatives of the Gusky and Kaufman
mines met at this office last evening and signed
articles TO play baseball game fo- 500 side
on June Is at Recreation Park if it can be Sc
cured. The receipts, after paying expenses,
are to be given to the Johnstown relief fund.
A forfeit of $40 a side is now up at THE DIS
PATCH office, and the second deposit of $50 each
is to be put up tomorrow. The balance will
be put up on the day of the game. The condi-
tions are play or pay.
There was an animated discussion before the
articles, were signed. The Gusky representa-
tives claimed that the Saturday" employees of
Kaufman we're outsiders and objected to any
allowed outsiders. Finally a compromise was
effected by the Saturday. men being allowed
to play with Kaufmann's team and H Kraus, an
outsider, to play with Gusky's nine. The con.
test will certainly be lively one and veil
worth the seeing.

BUDD BROKE THE RECORD.
He Defeats KIeinz in a Great Live Pigeon
Shooting Match.

CHICAGO, June 10.-The pigeon shooting
match between ]. Frank Kleinz, of Phila-
delphia. and c. W. Budd, of Des Moines, Iowa,
took place at Grand Crossing, Saturday after
noon. 1t was magnificent event.
Budd won, breaking the record of l2gauge
guns by killing 90 out of 100 selected tame
pigeons from ground traps at 80 yards rise. The
shoot was for the American Field cup and $3.50
a side. The shooting was at 5 pigeons, from 8
ground traps at 80 yards rise. Each man was
compelled to shoot with gun of II gauge, and
weighing not over pounds. The birds were
ali picked out by Manager Watson, of the
grounds, so that no poor ones would be had,
but the rain had the effect of making some of
them poor flyers. The shooting began at about
8 o'clock. The two men shot alternately at
single birds, so that there could be no knowing
which trap would be pulled, the trapper being
guided by numbered balls
