Baseb all Notes.

Now that April is drawing to close
and the baseball season is near at hand Ii
is high time for Egan, the balky pitcher
OF the Grays, to come to some under
standing with the club management. In
some respects his conduct is similar to
that of Amos Rusie the famous New York
pitcher. who is holding of, but here the
parallel ends; the Giants are weak in the
box, while the Grays on the other hand
have an ample supply of pitchers. About
four weeks ago Manager Murray wrote to
Egan and has as yet received no answer
from him. This sulk ing, or whatever Ii
may be, is oil foolishness on Egan's part.
He was placed on the reserve list OF the
Providence team on the 10th OF last Sep
tembvr, consequently he cannot play with
any other club under salary until he has
received his relense from the Grays. This
the home team will not do until he has
been heard from, and shows reason why
he shall not sign his contract for the sea-
son OF 1896. Last year he was taken sim
ply on his reputation and as he was more or
less affected With "glass arm" through
out the steason he was OF very little use
to the club. In fact IL ls estimated that
by dividing his salary into the number of
games he pil ched IL cost the club si12
game. There might have been some con-
ISOLATION I'm this, however, II he had
pitched with any degree OF effectiveness,
but he did not. In short, he porved TO be
an expensive luxury for the team to
"tote" around. Thus 1t can be seen that
he was well treated In receiving his
whole salary for sitting on the players
bench, and consequently his present mulish
actions should I've heartily condemned.
The only apparent reason for his con-
duct Is that possibly he may believe a
contract Will be forwarded TO him the

Horse Racing Mt Night.

The Arlington Jockey club Of Balti-
more has inaugurated "A racing scheme
which has never had parallel in the
whole history of the turf. AS Is well
known among horsemen, the laws Of
Maryland limit the session Of race meet
ing 10 80 days. The Arlington associa-
tion opened its track on April 25, and in
order TO get all possible use Of the time al
lowed by law runs III races livery day,
9 In the afternoon and 5 at night. 1t is
this night racing that Is attracting the at
tention OF the public.
A most elaborate electric light plant has
been placed in operation, and the grounds
are brilliantly lighted. The old grand stand
at Arlington has been torn down, there be-
ing no use for it. To take its place an i'm.
mense casino has been erected In the field,
almost entirely covering the space within
the half milo track. Revolving chairs arc
used. SO that spectators can sec most of
the races without leaving their seats.

to the little family graveyard, where
tradition says that Samuel Gorton was
laid to rest with the patent of the town
OF Warwick which he obtained in En-
order-upon his breast. Not even green
mound or an overarching tree now marks
the sacred bit of earth where his body
long since turned to dust.
All around, however, are the gracious
evidences that his life and labors were
not vainly spent. The prosperity Of the
town which he founded and of the COM
monwealth which he helped TO build,
constituted his most enduring monument.
South lies the quiet hamlet OF East Green
wicb, OF which his son was one of the
founders, built upon land once owned i'm
part by Samuel Gorton. West, also, lies
the rural town OF Coventry, the soil Of
which was covered by the original pur-
chase from Miantonomi. What fortunes
have been made where he found n wild
erness, and out of it wrought humb Bile
home for bis declining years. What un-
told happiness has filled the hearts OF
many generations that have come after
him, as they have looked upon the pleas
ant acres honestly bought OF their
original possessors and bravely held as
a heritage to his poslerity. Could this
founder OF our liberties look down upon
these prosperous scenes and ponder upon
tfeir vast ami benificent Significance,
hardly would his nnsefsn soul miss the
monumental stone which yet grateful
community sasll raise to his fragrant
memory. In thankfulness of heart he
would bless the power which has wrought
SO marvelously In him and i'm those who
have followed in his fooststeps. and
murmur in grateful acknowledgement,
"Yea, Lord, have seen OF the travail OF
my soul, and am satisfied"
