BALTIMORE 6-S; BOSTON SIS.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 1.-THE Boston
and Baltimore teams battled for nearly
tour hours this afternoon, dividing
bonors at the close Of the play. The
first game was close and 5000 people
were kept in suspense until the last man
was out. Both Sullivan and Clarkson
were effective, but Boston would have
won had it not been for inexcusable
errors by Harrington and other infield-
ers which let in runs when the side
should have been retired. The home
team found Mcmahon with little diff
Guilty and was able to bunch hits at
the right time.
The second game was called at the
end of Baltimores half of the fifth in
ming. After the first game, manager
Hanlon's admirers presented him with
4 perambulator and flowers.

GentIemen-Soely in the interest of others
who are, or may become similarly affected with

the use of the owen Electric Holt, and that
am actuntcd entirely by that motive must be
apparent from the fact that until you see my
name and address recorded on this letter you
had no knowledge Of either. had long been
sufferer from chronic dyspepsia and nervous
prostration, contracted or aggravated by many
years residence In the East Indies About three
years ago purchased one of your Belts in the
hope that its use might afford mo some relief
and wore it continuously as directed for about
four hours every afternoon for month or 80,
and tho result was perfectly Marvellous My
indigestion with all its attendant miseries, ner-
vousness, depression, irritability and insomnia,
from which latter I was great sufferer, have
disappeared. / then discontinued tho use ofthe
Belt (the existence of which i had indeed for
gotten), until about six weeks ago, when a
recurrence Of my old trouble very forcibly
reminded me OF it. / again put it into wear
(after censng its use FOR over ono and onc-hah
years., and with the same extraordinary results,
being again restored 10 health, strength and
vigor, after wearing IL for only ten days. Under
these circumstances ! can most elnphatically
recommend to others suffering from tho ailments
which havc endcavored to describe, the adop-

HOW "POQa CHlLDREN'S DAY" Is
CELEBRATED IN CHICAGO.

Appointed Each Year by the Mayor--Talx-

outdoor festival prepared for by wash

months. The boys were dirty, filthy and
vile. Some swore, many fought, and
all, either for the novelty of the thing
or sheer dirtiness, wanted to have hand
in the bath, an arm in new coat or
some hair off their head. Many of them
looked as if they had missed entirely all
the previous baths given by the Waits
mission. A tent had been pitched early
