LOSE DAY BY DAY.
THE BEDFORD CITY TEAM BEATEN
THREE STRAIGHT GAMES HERE.
The Forest Hills. with oaarles Ne Pitcher.
Win with Ease-A Fierce Contest
Expected This Afternoon.

The Bedford City Giants go over to
Petersburg to-day with hearts bowed down
with sorrow and with lingering memories
not the most pleasant Of their experience
of the last three days at Island Park.
The mountaineers came down to Rich
mond Wednesday morning flushed with
many victories won in the great South
west and proudly claiming TO be the cham
pion bsll-plsyers of Virginia. They leave
here with their fondcst hopes blighted and
possessed OF the painful consciousness
that there are at least two teams in this
vicinity that it will notdo TO tribe with.
When Manager Dennis brought his
splendid.looking athletes down they
asserted with confidence that they would
WIN three ont Of the four games to be
played this week IN Richmond
aud Petersburg. Well, the three
contests scheduled to be played here
have now passed into history and belong
to the soon-to-be-forgotten past.
But how many of these did the young
sters fresh from the mountain region win
Echo answers from a distance. How
many?" and still small voice says, Not
single one." But to put II IN the ex-
pressive language Of Pop" Tate, They
never touched US" With such a record

COULD NOT HIT ouARLEs.
The cranks were there yesterday, and
made the most of what little thore was in
the game 10 onthuse or excite. The south
side bleacheries were pretty well filed
and the grand held more than its
usual complement, while the boards on
the Richmond side were by no means
empty. In fact, the 400" presented full
ranks.
Quarles, the scientific twirler from
Petersburg, filled the box for the Free
Skaters, He was, perhaps, little more
nervous than usual. but very effective.
But for this wIldness at the opening of the
struggle the visitors would never have
scored. In six out of the nine innings
they went out in one, two. three order.
Only three scattering hits were made by
them, while twelve smote the air In vain
efforts TO find the hoTsehide.
The Forest Hills experienced some
trouble in hitting Boyd at first. but they
caught on to blsleft-hand curves and batted
him more freely towards the close. The
fielding Of the visitors was rather loose and
Boyd was not at all reliable IN throwing to
bases. Wigmore, who is the player on that
nine. made one beautiful running catch
and several other opportune plays.
The Forest Hills and Virglnias will
play this afternoon and the game bids
fair TO be the most exciting of the sum-
mer. Davis. local pitcher of some re-
pute, who has just been signed by the
Virginias. will make his first appearance
IN the box for them. Foster will hold
him. The Forest Hills. who will make a
great effort to win their first game from
the Virginias will appear in handsome
new suits. and will have Hattort and
Luck AS a battery.

Your correspondent attended Childrens
Day services on May 29th at Freedom NJ. e..
Church, and seeing no report of the exercises
in your last issue, takes the liberty to send
in Il brief report for your next issue.
The church has seen glad occasions and
been beautifully decorated before, but never
in the history OF the venerable old edihee had
it been so handsomely or artistically draped
and decorated before. The competent hands
and willing hearts of those in charge trans
formed the church into u perfect bower OF
beauty by the use of fern, flowers, evergreen
and light green bunting gracefully draped and
festooned from every available space, and
forming canopy above the heads OF the chll-
dren. The audience was unusually large,
even for Freedom, and very appreclauve.
The NJ. E. Church South Sunday School re-
spOnded to a cordial invitation and marched
in a body to the gate, where they were met
and welcomed by the superintendent and his
assistant, then filing in the church, keeping
time to a march on the organ, TO the seats Ie-
served for them. The programme was an
excellent one, and well rendered. the children
giving evidence of remarkably good training
by the ease and tluency with which they did
the parts assigned them. tits difficult to say
which was best where all did so we'll. The
Junior pastor, Rev. Mr.. Wheeler, in a few
earnest and appropriate remarks explained
the use and design of Children's Day, after
which eight boys took up the collection.
The services were continued at night, the
number present then testiiying to their appre
citation by their presence again. The program
consisted of singing, recitations. address by
the pastor, DIR. Davis, collection and bene-
diction.
The collection was very encouraging to the
school, rs it was the largest ever taken on
such an occasion. The bright faces of the
children showed how much they enjoyed the
day and older people were unanimous in their
praise of Children's Day at Freedom in 1892

engineers started out this morning from
Chambersburg, in charge of Alex. Murdoch,
of Philadelphia, for State Line, where the
survey of line to Hancock, Nd, distance
