had been made and the game won.
In the next innings was a regular
historical repetition. A report of a
ball game on July 4th 1884, between
the Bristol Garlands and Webster
Hornets and printed in the Reporter
says that Will Knott made a home
run. Will was reminded of that
home run when he came to bat in
the fourth inning and he stepped up
to the home plate, elevated his sight
to the railroad track and shook the
fiat out of his base ball pants. The
ball went by and the umpire said,
"strike one". Say, he looked easy,
if there was two men on bases. The
next ball Durick rolled out of his
hand as though he was afraid the
cover would get scratched and when
it got up by Will he gave it a smash
that sent it way over the ball
grounds and when Jim Rathbun
found it viii was tanning himself
and seeing his score counted. This
was the last for the other side,
though they should have scored in
the eighth. Tom Coyne was to bat
and he hit the ball a terrible swat.
Umpire Lawier was in the middle of
the diamond and called it a foul but
he was mistaken. The hit was at
least a three Dagger if not a home
run and made the boys a little warm
under their sweaters. 1t is hardly
probable however hat the result
would have been different.
The home team scored 7 more in
the 18th and 4 in the eighth making
the game a little on the procession
order. The boys wen out by heavy
batting, Floyd Taylor was the only
one to make a home run. Lew
Gruby made the most runs for the
Webster team but he played in
great luck getting first twice on
errors. There is no doubt but that
some better team will have to come
up to be in it with Webster.
The teams were made up as fol-

A Large Gathering in
This City
Our 10th An
niversary.
GOV SHELDON
the Grafton.
Game of Ball Be-
tween Webster
and Country
Boys.
GOV. SHELDON

Yesterday was an ideal one for the
a anniversary of our nations birth.
The refreshing shower early in the
morning laid the dust and trans
formed the atmosphere from dust to
our famous lung filler. Early in the
morning the crowd commenced to
arrive, and with those already here
made a vast throng of pleasure seek
ers. The days program "a opened
by the usual noise of cracker, anvils
and general waste Of powder that
makes our natal day a destructive
one.
The parade was finally formed,
and, considering that no floats or
advertising schemes were allowed,
was fine. The different societies
made a nice showing and especially
the old soldiers. There was a lot of
them. Eighty. Not quite a full old
time company but apparently as
lively and full of the old spirit that
saved our country as ever A fine
sight it vas that many of our citizens
may see again. The marching
by of the old defenders saviors of
our country and liberties. The men
who stand alone in the world for
there is no other G. A. r., no other
body of men who occupy the same
honorable distinction in the whole
world. Many other armies have
fought and bled but not for the same
principles of freedom and justice but
for and over the petty envy, hatred
and ~iealousies of their mortal rulers.
After the parade the crowd went
to the large pavilion on the camp
grounds and listened to n OF Gov.
Sheldon's best efforts. The Gov.
was at his best and his speech was
received with pleasure. After the
Governors speech came Dinner.
After dinner Mr.. +. w. Taylor, of
this city, delivered a speech on ''The
Result of the War. 1t was a fine
effort, eloquent, forensic and full of
thoughts well brought out.
The feature of the day as regard
to sport was the ball game between
the local team and a team got to-
gether by w. P. Mcintyre. The
Webster boys have thought all along
that they could and would put up a
good game of ball but have been
unable to get a game this year until
yesterday. And they had to play,
you bet. VIII Mcintyre got up a
good team for the time he had and
deserves credit for his efforts. II
there is any one thing he does like
it is to see a game of ball. The
crowd got down to the grounds
about half an hour before the time
set and this, together with about
fifteen minutes delay made the start
seem late. But they We're finally
rewarded by seeing one of the best
games played in this country.
Up to the fourth inning the game
was on the professional order and
10th sides went out in nearly one,
tno, three Of Ter. The rival pitchers
are brothers and each was right on
his metal trying to do the other Up.
1t was in the first half of the fourth
the scoring commeaccd, the visitors
made one run before being retired.
Then the home team came in and be-
fore the fireworks we're over 10 runs

30 popular vetoos, at tho polls, OF un.

In order TO united and elective party

Primaries having fallon into corrupt

madc by petition, a valuable provision
Tor emergencies. but not likely to DO
effective except when tho neglected pri.
maries have moro than usually out.

The law might and should rnorganize
and regulate the method Of making
nominations so that all who voted the
ticket Of any party, in tho main, at their
last voting, could at some convenient
timo aud respectable place cast thoir
nominating vote. But tho party caucus
'or primary probably will not cease, nor
do NO know OF any good reason why 1t

/ Good mon will not DO elected unless
good men arc nominated. aud good men
will not BIO nominated by primaries
which good mon do not attend.
Often, he said, tho primaries are hold
on prayer meeting night, because Christ.
ians were not active enough in politics TO
object and because good mon wore
neither expected nor wanted. but they
were needed, and thoy would have been
better Christians If they had-ns one

REGULAR AUGU sr WEATHER,

Tho Sun and Hot Air Drive People into
the Country.
The temperature yesterday was ab.
normally high for so early in the year.
The mercury in tho thermometer at
Schuspfs drug store got as high as %
in the shade, which would BIO very
creditable Tor July or August The sky
was clear and the sun really uncom-
iortably hot Apparently everybody
who could get out OF town did so, while
those who could not sat about in as
cool spot as could be found and pant.
ed for fresh fields and pastures green.
The hegira to the country began early
in the day. 1t looked as il every livery
rig in the city was pressed into service,
and all the private buggies and carriages
were also out. Later the Elm Grove
road had all 1t could do to handle the
crowds who wanted to 20 to the park and
other resorts or to visit friends in the
country. Two and three sections were
run on several OF the hourly trains, and
all the cars were filed TO their utmost
capacity.
The wheelmen were also out in largo
numbers, in spite OF the scorchinc sun
and the heat. The irrepresaible boy
ball player gathered with his fellows
wherever there was 4 fiat piece OF
ground large enough to put diamond
on, and all along the creek boys and
some men basked in the sun with fish
ing pole in hand. Not many fab were
foolish enough to como out in the sun,
however.
The long promised rain did not ma.
terialize, and vegetation is suffering
sorely for tho lack of moisture, while
the little streams are drying up and tho
larger ones getting remarkably low for
so early in May.
Mozart Park again held large crowd
yesterday, and all enjoyed the cool
breeze always TO be felt on the hill top,
and the music OF Meis,er's orchestra.
