GAY WEEK.
Do Won wonder that but few business

This diversion WAS Httcooaiy ~
that the reader may understand why
this has been called a rather gay week.
II would not be called so anywhere else,
but here II is so.
In the first place, VIC had visit from
the great New York Baseball Club,
which was advertised TO play a great
game Of ball here last Monday afternoon
People VINO stick as close to business
as Danvlle folks do not travel much'
and so but few Danvillians ever saw a
game OF baseball played by strictly iirst-
class players, and so something over 40
people turned out to see the Giants. IL
was expected that some OF the POSITIONS
on the diamond would be filled by local
ball tossers. bnt when the Giants got
here Manager Davis inspected the local
talent offered him, shook his head ana
said he guessed he would make up both
Mines with his own men. He didnt nina
giving the local talent a chance, but ne
had his men out for practice ard ne did
not care to waste any time. and then ne
was afraid a ball might hit one OF the
Danville men and he did not care 10
feel that he was in the remotest de-
gree responsible for the catastrophe.
The game was. therefore. played with
New Workers. only. There was nothing
at stake and the game was poorly
played, but the crowd had seen the great
Giants and felt amply repaid for the
two hours and the fifty cents spent on
the baseball grounds.
That was festivity No. /.
Wednesday night the United States
Marine Band gave one Of their inimitable
concerts at the Academy of Music, which
was largely attended. The red coated
musicians, lfty-four In number. were as
much of a show as the New York Base
Ball Club. but they did not draw alto
gether as big a crowd.
