Church. the day was observed with all
the usual glow as Children's Day. The

beautiful. and year after year 1t be-
. comes his pleasant duty to decorate
OF the floral display surpassed any
thing heretofore seen In the NJ. Il.
Church. The services by the children
were truly interesting and not only
were the regular church goers pres.
enI but large numbers from other
churches were present.
The forty hours devotion, the most
interesting services in the Catholic
Church. commenced yesterday In St.
Peters Church at the late mass. The
opening sermon was preached
by Rev. Ed ward L. Brady. The altar

the opinion they would see a game OF
baseball between the Rockford and
U. A. q. teams, but instead of that 1t
turned out to be boys squabble.
EARLY in the game objections were
. made to a decision by Umpire Gal
lagher, who called a man out at first.
The q. A. O. claimed that Clough made
balk and the umpire claimed he did
not and after little wrangllng the
umpire left the field and Umpire
Bacon. OF the q. A. O. took his po-
sltion.
His decisions caused several tilts.
notably ground catch by Chapelle
ford club claimed they were balls as
they were above the shoulder. The
score stood to 9 when the game
broke up. Manager Mcmahon OF the
Rockford Club has forwarded the fol-
lowing challenge. which. In my opin-
lon is the proper way to settle the az

Every time we have played team
from New Castle the game has always
ended in dispute. Now to decide
which Is the superior team will make
an offer to the Columbia Athletic
Club. will play the same team / had
on Saturday and they also take the
same, and go to Philadelphia and
play on the 'Phillies' grounds. We
can get them for some open date. The
umpire shall DO chosen from Philadel-
phia and he shall be ball player VIII o
ID wholly unknown to either team. III
this does not suit the New Castle ball
players | Will conclude that they are
afraid OF the Rockfords."
