attended the recent speed contest OF
"Horselcss Carriages" at Chicago, and
wisely concluded to secure the most
thoroughly finished and speedy of the

courage and unlimited financial re-
sources OF John Robinson and Frank

lutte determination to at all times Sc
cure the best in all branches, prompt
ed these well-known managers to out

a mechanical contriyance that can run
sixty miles an hour over or

Correct Way to Put on Court Plaster.

Did y0n ever nOtlco The way a physician
prepares the court plaster for wound?
First fold the pieco lengthwise directly
through the middle The plaster should
be considerably larger than the wound, to
keep well over the edges. Then slash the
plaster lengthwise nearly to the edge.
Straighten tho court plaster out fat and
cut the slashed pieces at opposite ends
Place the straigh edges of the court plaster
TO the flesh on either side of the wound,
bringing the strips across the wound
Moisten them and, taking a strip from each
side, draw them together gently, closing
the cut and stick the plaster in place.
Continue with all the strips, and the cut
will be dressed in a manner to insure a
perfect healing and as well as any doctor
could do it.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

THE SAME OLD STORY
Wilmington Club Dropped
Two More Games Yesterday.
CAN'T GET BELOW FOURTH PLACE
1T Is FORTUNATE THAT THE SEA-
SON ENDS ON SATURDAY, OR 1T
MIGHT FINISH sIXTH-GALLA-
CHEERS GREAT PLAYING.

The Wilmington club dropped two
more games yesterday, the Athletics
of Philadelphia having the good for
tune to be the opposing club. In each
game Mr.. Longs team had all the bet
ter OF it until the sixth inning. Then
it followed its usual mode of proceed
ure by falling down with disastrous
results.
In the first game Newlxirx, the young
man whom Manager Long put in the
Wilmington game on Tuesday, pitched.
Until the sixth inning only two hits
had been made off him, and not a run
was scored
Meanwhile the local club had gath
cred in seven runs, and the game was
an almost assured thing. But base
ball Is never decided until the game is
over.
The Athletic started in in the sixth
to win. and batted out two runs.
Then Mr.. Longs young man went to
pieces. In the seventh inning seven
runs were made off him, and the game
was lost
Cain was easy for the first two in
nings, but he then settled down, and
not a run was scored off him for the
remainder of the game.
Gallagher had been loaned to Mr.
Long while the "Phillies" are away,
and he was in his old position at short.
He put up great game, having seven
put outs and one error, and making
two hits and a run.
In the second game the score stood
three to two in favor of Wilmington
until the ninth inning. Anderson was
in the box for Wilmington, and until
the last inning the Athletics could not
touch him. Then the first four men up
made hits and Mertes made triple,
which, with a long fly, brought in five
runs.
In the eighth inning Montgomery
had a dispute with Umpire Hornung
over decision, and was put out OF the
game. Spratt and Montgomery made
beautiful running catches, and Cargo
drove out a pretty homer The score:
