otfafford's once famed Osceolas, is the
magnificent up hill game they play. If
lead is obtained in the first few innings
over-confidence, which has wrought the
downfall of not a few great business en-
terprises as well as baseball clubs, over
takes them, they grow careless and are
too apt to lose at last. But, if the first
two or three innings are against them,
the Eagles will almost invariably pull
themselves together and prove winners.
The club is composed of r. Wheeler
catcher, Russell pitcher, w. Wheeler
short stop, Atwood first base, Hughes
second base, Beardsley third base, Blake
man left fielder, Spall center fielder, Cur
It's right fielder. r. Wheeler is captain.

has been leased of j. Henry Thompson
and Will be in first class order for atf-
lctic grounds. Besides the base ball dia-
mond, for which huge back stop will
be built and sold for advertising, there
will be plenty of room for six or eight
races. 70 defray necessary expenses,
subscription papers are being circulated
and are meeting with good success.
About $50 will probably be needed.

Pray, " thou canst, with hope but ever pray
Though hope be weak or sick with long delay
Pray In tho darkness, II there be no light.
Pray To be helped, though material leaven
Forbid the spirit so on earth to be;
But IL tor any wish thou darest not pray.
Then pray to God To cast that wish away.
These are words of Tennyson;
More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. wherefore let thy
voice
Rise like fountain tor me night and day.
For what are men better than sheep or goats
That nourish blind life within the brain,
II. knowing God. they lift not hands OF prayer
Both for themselves and those To call them
