Years, Months and 25 Days.
1t is not often these days that human
being lives through century, says the
Woodland Mail, yet Mrs. Letitia Beedle,

death 102 years, months and % days.
Mrs. Beedle was born in Alexandria,

parents to Virginia, where she was mar
ried. Still later, in 1886, she, with her
husband, removed to Missouri Here

The Umpire Defeats Sacramento-Oak-
land Badly Walloped.
From all accounts, the Saturday game
between the San Franciscos and the Sacra-
mentos was a very interesting one, al
though the visitors had to take back
seat.
What really lost the game for the Sacra-
mentos was a most unfortunate mistake
of Sheridan in the first inning. Two men
were out and the bases were full when
Clark hit to Spies, who threw the ball to
first some time before Clark got there.
Sheridan did not see the play and was
forced to call Clark safe, and four runs
came in after that.

FOR The FAIR,
Some Of the Features of the High
Art Display.
Noted Painters Whose Works VIII
Grace the Art Gal1ery-Rare and
Costly Gems of Art.

There is every prospect that the dis
play of paintings at the approaching State
Fair will excel in point of numbers and
quality anything heretofore seen in Sac
ramento. Mr.. Bush has been busy the
past month in making selections from the
various studios in San Francisco, and
promises large and attractive display.
Upward of forty artists have signified
their intention to exhibit. Besides, there
will be shown several important pictures
that have been lent especially for this ex-
hibition.
Among the latter will be found a cam
vas by Stanly Middleton, an American
artist residing in Paris. entitled Enter
ing the School," This was salon picture
of 1887.
Another large and valuable picture is
by, Homer of Munich, and is called
''Sheep at Pasture"
Both of these art works are lent to the
State Fair by S. & G. Gump of San Fran
cisco, the well-known art importers.
Another important contribution is by
Henry Bacon, also an American artist
and now a resident of Paris. 1t is called
Crossing the Channel" This is large
and especially attractive picture.

examples of his work.
Norton Bush will send several of his

a. Joullin, Charles Rollo Peters, NJ.
Strauss, Eva WithrOw, Chris Jergenson,
Mrs. d. w. Gelwicks of Oakland, and
Armand Austin of Sacramento will each
make large display of their work.
Among the other contributors who will

Altogether, the prospects for a first

good, and no doubt the public will APP
preciate the efforts Of the State Agricult-
ural Society to place before them so rare
an exhibition.

AFTERNOON GAME.
A RECoRD-UNIoN reporter witnessed
the afternoon game. A piece of poor
Judgment on the part of Spies and an
unfortunate error by Hassamer lost Sac
ramento the game The contest was so
closely played that it behooved the play
ers on both sides to do all in their power
to prevent the runners from gaining even
base. AT a critical time in the seventh
inning, if Spies had only thrown the ball
to the plate, he would have prevented
Peoples from scoring by about thirty
feet. Instead, Spies threw the batter out
at first base, and Peoples made the run,
which amounted to so much in the end.
Then Hassamer, who, by the way,
played a remarkably brilliant game at
short, endeavored to make double play
toward the latter part of the game, but as
he was about to throw the ball TO first
base Sharp caught his arm and he threw
wild. The play resulted disastrousiy
Sheridan saw the trick, but instead of
calling the batter out as he should have
done, he simply cautioned Sharp not to do
so again.
In the last inning the score stood to
., and the Senators needed but one run
TO even up matters. They had a grand
opportunity to do so, but Spies could not
hit the ball safely, and Goodenough, who
was on third waiting to make the win
ming run, 'died' on the bag.
Both clubs played excellent ball, and
but for one or two OversightS on the part
OF the Sacramentos the result would have
been different.
McCloskey, Bowman, McIIale, Rey-
nolds and Goodenough did some good
batting.
McGulrk, for some reason or other, did
not play, and Reynolds, who has shown
that he Is at home in any position Oh the
diamond, was assigned to that point He
played it well. McHale guarded second
base to the Queens taste and Hassamer
distinguished himself at short. His play
ing won S25 bet by friend, who was SO
Jubllant at his good luck that he gave
''Bill' $40 Oft.
Bowman received the medal which his
playing in the league last year entitled
him to. He ranked as the best fielding
catcher, and yesterday was given a beau
tl1ul gold medal, worth probably $50. 1t
was given by Mr.. Rogers, who also has
similar gift for the best pitcher last
year Hoffman is entitled to it and will
probably receive the ornament Follow
