Church, this place, delivered one of

Those who spent the week upon
the grounds derived much physical

Our Boys Downed.

A game of base ball was played at
Mt Lake Park last Saturday between
the Rowlesburg and Oakland clubs.
Our boys had not had much practice
to gether, and it was the general OPP
inion that they would be defeated,
but by sharp field and hard batting,
together with the inability of the
Rowlesburgers to solve Haymond's
delivery, the Oaklanders won n
splendid victory. This should en-
courage the boys to little more
