Hereafter games will begin at Adelaide
Park at 3:45 o'clock daily. This is calcu-
lated to meet the desire of a great many
patrons who will thus be enabled to see
the whole game without losing valuable
business time. Games are seldom over
two hours long, SO that the change will be
alright at both ends.
Thursday will be "ladies' day. at
Adelaide Park from now on to the
end of the season. The fair sex will
be admitted to everything free
including the gate and the best seats in
the grand stand. Women generally are
taking more interest in athletic pastimes
and this new departure of the baseba
management is calculated to encourage
the fair sex to see healthy sport where
good order Is always maintained.
The Boston baseball managers have been
refused permission to erect a wooden
pavilion on the site OF the one
recently destroyed by fire and

The reason for the refusal is that the site
OF the proposed structure is within that
area in which the erection and construc-
tion OF wooden buildings Is prohibited.
The new stand will be ready July 20.

Corks For Bottle stoppers.

The application of cork rs bottle stop.
per for liquid vessels is said to be of great
antiquity. Tho earliest record extant of
Its use I'm Europe Is that mentioned by
Horace, who asserts that the Romans had
cork as shoppers for their wine amphore.
Certain Of the uses OF cork were known 10
the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, but
whether they used cork for stopping the
mouths OF their liquid vessels history does
not say. Ii was not, however, until the
year 1850 that the Sponiards first com.
menced TO work their cork woods with
some degree Of rcgu!erity for the making
Of coTks. " Although perhaps corks were
more or less In use from tho time glass
bottles were first invented, which Beck
mann asserts 10 have been I'm the fifteenth
century, yet Il was not until ~ centu-
rics later that the Spaniards began to pre-
pare cork for bottle shoppers, which they
did In forest situated at the northeast OF
the Tigueras, on the Murc. The cork In.
dustry has since gradually riscn to be one
OF the first magnitude, Its chief center In
Spain being In Catalonia a-Chambers'

The Champion Erics Easily Beaten by

Those who sit on the bleachers and
criticise the plays were unable to find any
fault with the game that was put up yes
terday. IL was cut and run from start to
finish with both clubs and the only adj
vantage OF the Grays was I'm their ability
to hit Herndon while the champions were
badly logged by Rudderham.
1t was the prettiest game OF the season
and everyone enjoyed II. Lyons started
In by scoring run in the first inning,
reaching fret on single and touch
but combination OF two singles and
three bagger in the second authorized
the Grays to score three runs. No more
scoring was done until the sixth in
ming when Murray succeeded in
earning q run, but in the ninth
Gunson and Kuehne started for the same
fly but fell over themselves and lost the
ball instead of catching IT. When at last
II was found, Gunson overthrow the base
and two runs were scored on this misplay.
Erie's only run was earned on two
singles and q two bagger, but no other
man was able TO touch the plate, although
the club was retired more than once with
two or three men on bases.
With the exception of Murray's mis-
judgement of bound in the ninth, the
Grays played perfect game and Rudder-
ham pitched like a star. Not a man
was hit by the ball, not man took
first on called balls, not a ball went be-
yond the reach of McAuley, and when the
bats found the Leather the ball fioated
out into the hands of some waiting
fielder. IT was game OF brilliant plays, for
Erie as well as Providence, and the ad-
mirers of the home team went away with
the opinion that the Grays were well able
to take care of them-eivos. The score:

the Advantage of a Would-be Groom.

A young man residing on Quality Hill
who is contemplating matrimony in the
immediate future made sort OF bashful
application to the City Registrar today
for license to unite two hearts
that beat as one. He gave his age and
pedigree with promptness and self
possession but was a trifie nervous when
1t came to the performance OF similar
duty for his prospective bride.
However, he ayerred that she was
born in this city, and that her
age was "a. The genial assistant,
just to substantiate his conviction that
the candidate for marital obligations had
in his embarrassment failed TO remem Der
the precise age OF his future life partner,
referred to the record Of births after mis-
departure and found that the lady
bad entered upon the stage Of existence
In 1858. However, where ignorance IL
bliss, etc., applies to the case in point, and
the Innocent deception will not impair
the legality or mar the blissfulness of the
nuptial ceremony.
