NEW HAvEN TEAM IVoN.

The Game at Elm City Park Yesterday
 The Derby-Sheltons Worsted.
 A very good game of ball was played yesterday afternoon at Elm City park between the Derby Shelton and New Haven teams, and resulted in favor of the latter by a score of 13 to 2. The New Ravens were the first to bat, and by their good work and the poor field ing of the Derby team the New Havens gained six runs.
 The two Brown men put up a fine game throughout and showed they were a great addition to the team.
 In the first inning " Lander made a two bagger, bringing in Sweeney and Farnham.
 In this inning w. Lander, McHugh and G. Lander also scored.
 When the Derbys came to the bat they were retired without any runs until the ninth inning, when they made a spurt.
 New Haven did not score again until the sixth inning, when Phillips, Swee- ney, and Johnson were heard from.
 New Haven next scored in the eighth inning, when Sweeney made a two bagger, bringing in G. Lander. Swee- ney in his turn was brought in by Farnham, who is his turn scored. This closed the score for the New Havens. In the ninth inning, on account of poor fielding on the part of the New Ha- vens, Smith and Hurly scored
 cyt ,,,1 ond but played the rest of the game.
 Sweeney put up by far the best game of ball.
 Both batteries were good, except in the first inning, when the Derby bat tery was kind of wild.
 Theisen made a good stop in the fourth inning. Sweeney also made a good hit in the fourth. By the New Ravens winning yester- days game they have. third place in the league
 Johnson played a good game. G. Lander made a pretty steal to sec- ond Hendricks made 8 pretty catch on first.
 One of the prominent sporting men of Chapel street remarked in the eighth inning that the New Havens were play | ing as they used to.

The author indicates in his preface that
he has written the book chiefly for the tour

will no doubt be read by many residents
of the Danish Islands also, and these
will fluid the contents both interesting and

The San Francisco call., 1896-05-07

N. A. Macquarrie of San Joaquin named
ex-Congressman James A. Louttit. and
spoke of him as a man whose loyalty to
California had never been questioned and
whose record while member of Congress
stood second to none, and who was a
loyal follower of Mckinley.
c. T. Jones of Sacramento nominated
George E. Knight OF San Francisco, and
paid that gentleman a high compliment
for loyalty and Republicanism.
Cutter OF Yuba placed David E. Knight
of the Marysville Wooden Mills in nomina-
ton Martin Stevens of San Francisco
nominated Irving NJ. Scott. Davie of Ala
media seconded the nomination of George
A. knight.
Judge Nourse of Fresno seconded the
nomination of John D. Spreckels, and
mentioned him as square business man,
a stanch Republican and one of those men
who had done a vast deal IN developing
the material resources and the vast in
terests of the State.
Arthur Levinsky of San Joaquin made
brief speech in seconding the nomina-
ton of Irving NJ. Scott.
Wild applause greeted the appearance
of General Barnes on the platform, many
rising in their enthusiasm tc cheer him.
| He spoke as follows:
"There is not a State in this Union
which will cast majority for the nominee
of the st. Louis convention which would
not be proud if it could SEND among the
list OF the delegates Ulysses S. Grant.
! [Applause. Some of the gentlemen who
have addressed you have said we have no
need TO look at the past, our eyes must be
upon the future. l don't agree with them.
There are subjects OF thought that will
live in the future and that few cast their
bright and beautiful light down through
all the centuries until the very world itself
shall end and that light and glory shall
stream all through the ages, l believe.
through those OF eternity. Was that great
man and soldier, upon whose deeds we
have hung with tender and anxious care,
to be forgotten?''
Then with eloquent fervor he brought
most vividly to the minds of his hearers
the iilustrious career of him who during
the war was the first general.
81 see Grant before me now. I see him
at the battle of Belmont. l see him at the
capture OF Fort Henry and of Fort Donel-
son. / see him in combat at the battle of
Iuka. l see him in the desperate struggle
at Corinth. see him at the siege and cap
ture of Vicksburg. Isee him fighting above
the clouds in the battles of Missionary
Ridge and Lookout Mountain. I see him
in the bloody forty-one days of battle from
the Wilderness to Cold Harbor. Then 1 see
him in Virginia forcing the enemy back

from its own intrenchments and see him
triumphantly entering Richmond. Then
L behold him at Appomattox making
treaty of peace with the thoroughly de-
feated enemies and giving terms such as
were never before seen on like occasion
and will probably never be seen again.
This man has a son, resident of your
State, who aspires to go to st. Louis, and
want this young man who has taken up
his abode with us to be treated as is the
son of that illustrious man who was our
President during this period of conflict.
want him treated as was the son of Abra-
ham Lincoln by the people of his State.
We can in this not only honor one who
bears the name of his father whom we
all revere and honor, but one who also
bears the very given name of Ulysses S.
Grant. l want him treated thus for his
fathers name; and that father to whom
we all owe so great debt of gratitude will
look down from his place in heaven, and
even to him upon the battlements above
the scene will be viewed with deepest and
purest joy. Let's send him."
Great applause followed, and the elo-
quent speaker was congratulated on all
sides when the morning session came to a
close. 1t is generally conceded to be the
great speech, brief as>it was, of the con-
vention.
Short of Fresno also seconded Grant s
nom ination in few well-chosen words.
Senator Simpson of Los Angeles took
the floor and raised a wave of murmurs OF
surprise by stating that on the part of the
south he seconded the nomination of Sem
ator Gleaves. Adjournment was taken

James Andreas, Living on Point
Lobos Road, Tells a Wonderful
Story-It Is Certainly Startling.

Past three score and five in the full vigor
of his prime, with an erect carriage and
splendid gait, fairly strong and lusty, John
Andreas greets you as you enter his little
house on the road.
He has travelled much, seen the various
peoples of the Old World, and has a com
placent, self-satisfed air which gives one
ease, even comfort, in his presence. He
told me that short time ago he began to
have failing sight, not that his eyes were
weak, but there seemed to be film over
them. His daughter had to read the papers
to him in the evening. His face was sal
low and jaundiced. His system seemed
all out of order. Being given small sam
pie of the Home Remedy. joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla, he tried it. The only noted
effect was on the bowels. He then bought
bottle of Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla
and began taking the medicine regularly.
After using half bottle he noticed his
face was not quite so sallow as it was, and
that he could walk longer with small sense
of fatigue. He continued to use the re-
mainder of the bottle of joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla and his eyes recovered their
wonted vim and brilliancy. His daughter
did not need to read to him any more.
He is happy man and does not care who
knows it.

VOTES AND ENTHUSIASM.
John ID. Spreckels' Popularity in the
State Causes Him to Receive
Unstinted Applause.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May cit was
2:S0 P. NJ. when the gavel raped for the
resumption of business. Watson Green of
San Joaquin in an eloquent manner Sec
onded the nomination of James A. Lont-
tit, who he said was the only man men,
toned from the great central portion of
the State, and man who represented the
great and fertile San Joaquin Valley.
Then came the rollcall for the ballot on
delegates.
Alameda was first on the list, but the
chairman of the delegation asked for fur
ther time, as The members had not yet
agreed upon their preferences. This
caused some delay. Finally Alameda de-
clared itself in readiness to go on record.
Just as the chairman. however, was about
to announce the result one of the delega-

Totals. II1O

When Mr.. Spreckels, who was the first
to pass the winning mark, had enough
votes to his credit to elect him there were
cheers and applause, and at frequent in
tervals the announcement of the solid vote
of some county for Mr.. Spreckels or one
of the other favprites elicted applause, and
when the announcement of the figures of
the ballot was made by Secretary Ryan
the applause was most enthusiastic and
was repeated as the name of each success
full delegate was given to the convention.
AS will be seen from the table of the bal
lot, Alameda gave all four of the success
full candidates good start and paid
Spreckels the honor of a solid vote, this
gentleman being the only one SO distin-
guished.
Placer's nine delegates had the distinc-
ton of distributing their favors to every
candidate before the convention.
San Francisco's entire strength went to
Spreckels without a break, Grant, Shell
don and George A. Knight, however, get
ting a goodiy portion of it.
Santa Clara exhibited its loyalty to the
memory of Grant by going in body to
his son. 1t paid similar compliment to
Spreckels.
All the northern counties, of course, went
to Gleaves.
But the most extraordinary fact shown
in the table is that Spreckels received $50
lacked but seventy votes of receiving the
unanimous Endorsement of the convention.
There were cries of Knight" from vari-

There being no dissent the request was
granted. This was the only county that
did not do its voting through its chairman.

ballot for delegates-a at-large:
