BASE BALL.
Tomorrow Thursday afternoon
at 1.3O O'Clock, on the new fail
grounds, the Cuban Giants anC
the Gorhams, two professional ,
teams from this place, will meet
upon the diamond to struggle fo1
future greatness. These two teams
are composed of the grandest aggre-
CATION of players ever seen nnder one
canvas and all for one price of adj
mission, 15 cents, and 10 cents for
children. The players are a very
generous set of men and the proceeds
will go to the benefit of the free pub
lie library, a most worthy object,
and a very commendable evidence OF
public spirit. One team will be lead
to the conflict by the invincible DR..
Johnson, while the heavy weight
slugger, DR.. Rublee will captain the
other. There will undoubtedly be a
large attendance.
Next Saturday afternoon it is ex-
pected that a game of ball will be
played between the st. Jobnsburys
and the M~orrisvilles, on the new fair
ground. Stewart of the e. V. M.
team will catch for the Morrisvilles
and as the two teams are very even
ly matched, a red-hot contest may
be looked for.
MEMORIAL DAY.
The return of Memorial day seems
each year to bring deepening interest
in the occasion and an increasing at
tendance, as the crowded condition of
our town hall and the hustle of the
street on Monday will testify. At 2
p. m. the line of march was taken
from Grand Army hall in the follow
ing order Hyde Park band, G. HI.
Crane, leader, and S. b. Waite, drum
major; G. w. Doty Camp Sons of
Veterans, with armed squad under
Dave Powers, A. l.. Cheney Comman-
der; Post j. NJ. Warner, No. 4,
Austin Wilkins, Commander; forty
four young ladies in white, carrying
flowers, and citizens. Reaching the
village cemetery, the customary hol-
low square was formed and the rit-
ual service rendered, following a vol
ley by the Sons, the young ladies
marched about a monument to the
unknown dead depositing their flow
ers. Marching through the gronds
the several soldiers graves were
with flowers, when the line re-
formed and marched to town hall,
was soon crowded to suffoca-
Upon the platform were the
officers of the post, the singers, the
young ladies representing the states,
the speaker and the clergy. A
quartet, consisting of Miss Slayton,
~, Ds.I NJ. TNI&N~ IL NJ.
Whipple, with Mrs. Churchill as pia-
list, rendered several selections very
appropriate to the occasion. Selec-
ions we're read by Miss Rodgers and
Hiss Cheney, of CaGy's Falls; the
Iisses Niles rendered an excellent vo-
al duet a portion only of the ritual
eFyiee was rendered and Rev. Miss
of Maine, was presented
the speaker of the afternoon. Her
address was of the best yet listened
on such occasions here, and held
he close attention of the audience.
vt the close, Benediction was pro-
bounced by Rev. Mr.. Nanton, and
he line returned to Grand Army
lall, where the ladies of the w. R. c.
served refreshments. Everything
connected with the service at the
cemetery, the work in the hall, and
jhe serving of lunch, showed good
organization and was well carried out.
The appearance and playing of the
Hyde Park band received many COM
ailments during the day.
Town hall was never more hand
decorated for Memorial day,
Than on Monday. 1t presented a
very attractive appearance.
The over-crowding of the hall again
5estifes to the fact that we must
nave more room for public gather
ngs.
Rev. Miss Kingsbury's address was
Inclined to be brief, pithy and to the
point and was we'll received.
GRADUATING EXERCISES.
The graduating exercises of the
Class of '92 at the Academy were
very largely attended in the upper
nall on Tuesday evening, and in
Every way may be said to be a grand
success. Prayer was offered by Rev.
Mr.. Nanton, when Norris d. Blake
addressed audience, teachers and
in a Latin salutatory,
which exhibited a good command of
pronunciation. Lula A. Doug
ass essay, "Man a Free Agent"
had in it much of worthy and WE'LL
arranged thought. The grafton,
The Responsibility of the American
Scholar" by Byron l.. Leach, con-
5ained much that was worth remem
boring. "The American Sunday"
an Grafton by Everett A. Sanborn,
directed much to the prevailing ten
1ency to ignore the Christian Sun
lay in which connection the speaker
made an appeal for the closing of
the Worlds Fair on Sunday. SIN
Rain-drop Fancies," by Karleen S.
found an opportunity to ex-
press much that was of worth in con-
nections somewhat fanciful. Edwin
2. Bigelow's grafton, "The Patriot
Politics" was a Thoughtful pro-
1uction. The essay, Echoes from
St. Helena" by Elite NJ. Goodale,
drew out thought for personal appre-
tuition from the closing years of
1.-THE Nations Unsolved
Problems" by Fred b. Thomas,
was a most scholarly arrange
nent of ideas concerning the ques-
lions yet coming up before our
country. In her Yaledictory adj
l~resses, Lillian j. Leach found an
opportunity which was most excel
emily sustained. The vocal solo, by
Mr.. Fleetwood; the male quartet,
composed of Messrs. Fleetwood, n. |
Blake, B. B. Blake, and G. C.
and the Neogynist Quartette,
