Probably the most unscientific ball
game of the season was that of the
third nine vs.. the lawyers which took
place Monday forenoon. 1T the end of
the sixth inning most of the players
were exhausted and the score stood 80
to 80 in favor of the little boys. Ed
Sample became Outwinded in the 4th
inning but was ably substituted by
John Shannon. The main features of
the game were the batting of McCague,
Martin and Sparks, and the 1st base
work of Lawyer Dobbs. The old SOL
diers tackled the kids yesterday. The
game resulted in score of 81 to Sc in
favor of the small boys and against
the Boys In Blue.

admiring its perfection OF detail as well
as its general effect.
And so. one Of the most delightful en-
tertainments OF the season was brought
to pleasant close.
A word relative to Sank Centre Lodge,
No. a.: 1t was instituted on March l., 1877,
in the room in the Smith block, adjoining
the present HERALD Office, with twenty
FIVE members, of whom several have
maintained active membership to the pres
ent day. A, M. Stiles was the first Noble
Grand. and a more faithful and devoted
member through all these years the lodge
has never had. He has given it his time,
his best endeavor, and of its success he is
naturally proud. Sam Beidleman was the
first Vice-Grand, and he, too, has been
equally devoted to the best interests of the
lodge, equally energetic and useful. S. M.
Bruce, the first District Deputy, is another
of the charter members who was present at
the opening exercises, full of pride and
pleasure at the prosperity of which be has
been factor in achieving. Two years later
the lodge purchased the larger room on the
south third floor of the Barnum-Smith block,
which was Occupied until 1890, when it was
sold to the Masons. Three years prior to

the program.

GHOST IN A HOTEL.
Narrative Of singular Experience of
Lord and lady Dunraven.


Ap@opos of the report that the Bre-
WORT house was to be closed up there
is story that Lady Dunraven has been
known TO tell about the famous old inn.
The countess is described by those who
know her as a woman much more in
clined to common sense than to ghost
haunted cock lanes. even with DIR.
Johnson's authority She used to tell
the facts in the tale simply for what
they We're worth. 1t was more than one
decade ago. years before the Valkyrie
was thought of. when Lord Dunraven
was first interested in the mining
regions of northern Michigan. He and
Lady Dunraven were staying in New
York for few days before starting
west and had taken rooms at the Bre-
Noort-pleasant rooms-with view of
the avenue and a nice glimpse of Wash
lngton square. The first night being
tired with their voyage, they went
carry to bed, as it happened not so
early TO sleep Both the earl and
countess were blessed with hearty Eng
lish constitutions. They were not at
sli accustomed to- lying awake till the
small hours. They wondered what they
could have done. what they could have
eaten or drank TO afflict them with
such gratuitous vigilance. Just at
venture, finally. they bundled them
selves out into an adjoining parlor.
made themselves extempore couches
there, and slept soundly till morning.
Next night and the night after there
was the same wakefulness and in the
end the same migration to the adjoin-
ing room for relief They began to
think they should have to leave town
earlier than they had planned, for they
would not for the world have made
any pretext to shift chambers. The ex-
PLANTATION of the mystery, if it was an
explanation, came out by chance. They
had call before long from an old
time New Yorker whom they met in
England, an authority on all matters
pertaining to the towns history. Il
wonder" he remarked casually, that
they should have given you these
rooms. You know it was in that room
that Mr. Y. hanged himself" 1t was
in that room that Lord and Lady Dun
raven had tried in vain TO sleep, and
they exchanged significant glances. OF
course il was only a coincidence, they
said but the next day they took their
departure for the west New York

Cattle Ronndinn.

The leading events of the year
among cattlemen on the range are the
spring roundup for branding, and the
beef roundup in the fall. The spring
roundup started from Fort Pierre
yesterday to scour the range between
the Cheyenne river on the north anL
the White river on the south; the Mis-
souri, river on the east and the Black
Hills on the west.
Each cattle owner is required to con-
tribute to the expense and to furnish a
pro rata number of men and horses
based on the number of cattle he owns.
A number of chuck" wagons are sent
out. each in charge Of q cook and horse
wragler, who change their location for
almost every meal to be at convenient
point for the hungry cowboys when the
important meal hour arrives.
Each cowboy is supplied with a NUM-
Der of horses and gives them all plenty
of work in relays. Starting ont from
the camp they scatter over the prairie
searching every draw or 'coulee,
driving the cattle to common center
arranged for, where the calves are
given the brand borne by the COW they
are following. The cattle are then
turned loose and new territory gone
over the next day, until the whole
range. about 100 miles square, has
been gone over. At times as many as
5000 head of cattle are branded al
