THE PICNIC.

The second annual picnic gotten up
by Griggs Lodge, No. 13, Ancient
Order OF United Workmen was a grand
success. The committees had done
their work we'll, and there appeared no
hitch to mar the pleasure of the occ.g-
ioh. The day opened up bright and
clear and large crowd gathered in
Fluto's beautiful grove to spend q dav
OF pleasure. The Cooperstown band
was in attendance and livenea up
things by their excellent playing. The
band boys play first-rate and they are .
big part of u picnic. The usual potato
races. tub races, and slow horse race.
took place, after which Mr.. Sanford. Of
jamestown, was introduced by Brother
lvcr jacobson, and gave tile people :
fine speech. He reviewed the ordar
from the time of its inception to the
present day and showed very conclu-
slvely that the A. o. U. w. was the
safest, cheapest and most fratern.l
order in existence. His speech was in
termingled with amusing stories that
kept the crowd in good spirit all
through. We hope to have the pleasure
OF listening to Brother Sanford again.
Ihe ball game between Hope and
Cooperstown followed tho speech and il
turned out to be q very exciting game.
Cooperstown won by score of Ii to 7.
The bewery dance did not continue
very long after supper as heavy rain
set in and continued all night. Every
body seemed we'll pleased and the lodge
is to be congratulated On the success,
Of the picnic.

Tune Of
IL to 2.

Umpires are but human, likewise
fsllibls, and it is doubtful if game Al
close rs that of Wednesdays will evel
be played with umpires that will give
perfect satisfaction, at the same time
we advise Mcmahon. for the good e1
his reputation as player, to quit
"beefing" SO much ut the umpires. II
is neither profitable nor pleasant. No
doubt he was safe on 2nd in the end
inning, but his own man called him
out. Again in the 9th, the ball throw n
past Markwood may have been block
ed ball, but there was half dozen
blocked balls before that that had not
been called, and it would have been
manifestly unfair for an umpire to have
begun calling blocked balls in the 9th
inning, and thus give the game !c
Hope.
Hope was crippled by the absence Of
its catcher and several of their best
players, but managed to make it ex
ceedingly interesting for the boys tying
the score in the 9th inning. Consider.
ing that both sides accumulated 2:
errors, it is surprising that the score Ii
as close as it is.
One Of the prettiest plays was made
in the Sd inning. McDaniels making q
wild throw to 1st, but Mills made /.
high jump and brought the bal; back to
1st with one hand put out Luther
Iverson gathered in one hard fly in the
10th, as did J. Murray, he taking it ia
by the tips of his fingers after long
run. Our boys ended the game by q
very good double play, from short to

Monday night severe wind and rain
storm passed over Cooperstown that
made number Of onr more timid peo-
plo crawl into the cellar. The clouds
formed in the west and southwest, and
travelled very rapidly and it looked for
short time rs though it intended ia
wipe out the entire town. but luckilyno
great damage was done. The cornica
was torn from the Union house; Berg
Y Erickson's machinery hall was badly
shaken up; Kicl's blacksmith shop is
minus tho front, and whole blocks Of
out houses and small barns could he

sANBoRN's REVENGE.
Her Representatives Defeat Coop
erstown by a Score Of
IL to. 10.

Knowing that our knowledge OF base
ball had sunk into astate of "innocuous
desuetude," we took particular pains to
obtain concencus of opinions from
those who witnessed the game. Some
were of the opinion that Reddy Gleason
and his little "jag" played prominent
part, but nearly all were of the opinion
that the errors of Colson and Iverson
and their inability to hit the ball, when
hits were needed was the main cause.
1T certainly can't be laid TO McDaniel's
door. He, in reality, struck out II men
and made 4 of the six assists credited to
Cooperstown. Had he had equal good
backing, Sanborn would have been no
where.
CooPERsTOwN RUNS
came IN as follows. McDaniels opened
with a 2 baser and scored on A. Sin
clair's base hit, he scoring on Frsd's
safe hit. Jimmy famed, Fred stole I'd,
reached srd on r. Noes muff aud
scored on Langer's drop. Iverson and
Mills striking out.
In the 2nd inning Markwood opened
with baser, scoring on w. Sinclair's
hit, Colson was given a'life at 1st, got
to 2nd on Jackson's muff, scoring on
an over throw to 3rd.
The 3D AND 4TH
the boys gathered pretty new goose
eggs. In the 9th, McDaniels hit to 1st
and was clearly out, but was called safe
which was McCulloch's only off decis-
ion. Nc. was safe at End on Langer's
overthrow, took Sd on a passed ball.
aud scored nn Jimmy's hit to 1st. In
the next, Mills was safe on Freeman's
muff, stole and and scored on 2 passed
balls. hardwood, who had already
made Two 8 base hits, was give 1st on 4
balls, Colson left three streaks in the
air, Willie tiew to left, Nc. hit safe, and
scoring on Jimmy's safe drive, Fred
flying to centre.
The LAST RUN
came in the 9TH. Iverson famed, Mills
going out by way of 2nd to 1st, Mark
wood getting 1st on Jackson's tumble
and scoring on Willie's hit to Sd who
failed to stop it.
In THE 9TH
Gleason got in his fatal work. Mark.
wood had hit safe and was leading off
from 1st when LANCER threw, the throw
was high and Markwood backed under
it, but was called out. Also in the 4th,
when Osborn attempted to steal End,
he was clearly out, but Gleason was
opportunely looking in another direct
ion and he was safe. Gleason evident.
ly'understands the business, but he was
either prejudiced, or in an unfit condi.
ton.
SANBORN
4ot in her work in the 9th inning; scor-
ing runs and doing it on 8 safe hits, 2
of them beng 2 basers. Osborn did
good work at the bat, making 4 safe
hits out of s times. while Z. Moe did
