was. in my humble judgment. a most ex-
cellent one. and am sure your fairness
toward the individual players and the
team as a whole will be appreciated by
MIR. Wells and every one of his men, after
the very unjust criticism INDUCED In by
some Of the newspapers and people. IL
those who have found so much fcult with
our team will notice the scores OF the
different State League teams In games
with the National League clubs, think
they will find that our club has made
very good showing.
As you said In your article or sunday,
while Hall made two errors and the people
jeered, when he made two beautifui
double-plays the crowd failed TO applaud
him. The best player in existence would
lose courage under such treatment IL
must be admitted that Hall is above the
average in throwing.
In conversation with well-known
pitcher of one of the National League
teams, who is acquainted with most or
the members OF our team and also those
OF the other teams in the State, he said
"The Richmond team. In my opinion

The following concerning Mr. Alfred A.
Farland, OF whom so much has been
said as a banjo virtuoso. is taken from
the Jersey City Evening Journal OF re-
cent date:
HIS playing was the very apotheosis
OF the instrument. Just imagine Beetho-
ven's Sonata, op 30. with allegro assai,
moderate, and allegro vivace movements,
played upon the banjo. and so played
that all their exquisite parts were brought
out in such perfection that thousand
people hung upon the sweet sounds with
GREATNESS interest and delight. That 10

Bad weather again broke up the ball
game which was scheduled for the Rich
mond and Philadelphia teams. About
c'clock In the afternoon the sun peePcd
out for a while. and Il looked at one
time as though there would be game
after all. Quite number OF cranks In
anticipation of the event gathered at
the West-End Park, but at 3:S9 O'Clock
a brisk shower broke up all prospects,
and the disappointed delegation turned
their faces towards the city. Jake Wells
had held q conference with the captain
OF the "Phillies' In the morning, ana
after going out on the pavement In tront
OF the Lexington and gazing skywaru
for some time 1t was decided that the
outlook was unfavorable. and there was
little prospect for a game. Consequent

that they will play the game Will. fine
results after they have once gotten down

able TO expect the team to put up the
gilt-edged article at this early stage OF
the game. Look at Harmon and Duffy,
OF the Bostons. They are two OF the
finest ball players IN the National League,
as has been satisfactorily demonstrated
Yet they have done literally nothing this
year. You must give the men a little
time TO show what they are made Of be-
fore advancing unfavorabla criticisms.
