10 how the vote should be taken.
FINALLY Mr.. n. V. Randolph moved that
the roll be called, and that each delegate
when his name was reached should declare
his preference and have It recorded Dy the

This met with vigorous objection, and
several persons spoke in favor, oi calling
the counties and cities and letting the
chairman of the respective delegations an
nounce how they stood.
Mr.. Randolph's motion was carried oy a
divided vote, and in a few seconds the roll
call was proceeded with.
The question being raised as 70 what
should be done where neither the delegate

An exciting and amusing game of ball
took place on Mt Pleasant, Saturday at
ternoon, between mines from the Street
and the Hill, before a numerous assem-
blage of ladies and gentlemen, who gen.
erously bestowed plaudits upon the
young players, meanwhile displaying in
abundance the colors of the opposing
clubs, red and black for the Hill and yell
low and black for the Streets. The for
mer colors were in large majority, al
though this did not deter the Streets
from Winning by the generous score of
40 to Is. The score would have been diff
ferent had the good battery work of Bow
man and Weaver been better supported.
Judson and Ryan also did good work, as
did Hourigan at LIST and Short at Sd for
the Streets, while Shorts batting was a
marked feature. Mr. Nichols as umpire
introduced many new and novel features
and, by his impartial decisions, won the
confidence of both sides; he was ably
assisted by several outsiders. This is
