There is always more or less di.
vision OF sentiment regarding game
OF ball ana we DO not pretend to be
the best judges oil thu game, out may
be pardoned If we off,r our honest
convictions. The game was as we'll
played as one would wish TO see.
Each nine was evidently playing to
secure first money, and while we think
the Indians are the best players OF
the two clubs, the Benton boys out
generalled them in many places and
In the last lnnIng the natives became
ratified over b misplaF one OF their
men made and went to pieces. To
some it appeared as though the In
dians had "sold" but we rather think
they could not stand "jockeying'' and
lost their nerve. Be that as it may
it was a nice game and only those
who lost money on the same had q
right to "becf."
AS soon as the FIRST game was over
the Parnell and BrooklDps boys took
the diamond and played tag for a
couple of hours. Comment on this
game Is unnecessary, other than to
state that the pitcher OF the Brook
ings nine WAS i'll and had no business
to be in the box. Here you have the
score:

Three lazy vagabonds accompanied
by two cinnamon bears amused the
crowd for q lew moments and supper
was announced. After tea the band
again appeared to announce the exhi-
bition contest OF the hook and ladder
and hose companies. This drill
pleased the crowd very much and the
two strong streams Of water turned
on from different hydranJs convinced
all present that the business portion
OF the city had very good fire defense.
While the systematic working of the
hook and ladder boys gaveevidence of
their capaoility and willingness to
materially assist in subduing q con-
tlsgration.
Immediately following the contest.
the foot races and other sports were
called on Main street.

tan, Davis, Kepart and CRAZY was
won by Grattan; DAVIS second
Mr.. Kephart won first money in the
sack race. Sickler second.
Kepart and Holt won the three
legged race.
While the races were in progress the
band gave an open air concerl Ss TIE
junction of Main and Williams streets
and greatly pleased all who heard
them.
The grand ball gwen by tine Hook
and Ladder boys at the opera house
IN the evening was u decided success.
Over 100 numbers we're sold and all
present report an enjoyable time.
A elegant supper, prepared Tor the oc-
casion, was served at the Commercial
house OF which nearly all those in at
tendance partook. The boys feel
grateful to all who kindly aided them
In their efforts to raise funds for the
procuring OF suits for the company.
Ii is estimated that fully 5000 peo.
pie witnessed the sports and the city is
thankful to the vast numbers from
abroad. who by their presence and
good behavior did so mnch to add to
the pleaaura of the occaaiOn
