EASTERN LEAGUE.

1t was a close game played at Adelaide

Buffalo, the Grays winning by one
run. The festure OF the game was
the pitching. Hodson OF the Grays kept
the Bisons batting the ball up into the
air most OF the time, and having excel
lent support in the field, q good many
were put out in this way. But one error
was made on each side. That OF the
Grays was made by Canavan in an at

Sunday Comforts Found
Down the Bay.
How Everyone May Keep Con-
tented Tomorrow.
Attractions OF the Parks and Points
by the Water Side.

Weather, like history, is apt to repeat
for instance. That 10, last Sunday II was
hot, ana tomorrow in all probability 1t
will be hot again. And in that case
there is but one thing TO do-go down
and spend the day at a shore resort ON
Narragansett Bay, and get the benefit OF
the cool breeze that watts and floats
along from Fox Point TO Beaver Tail, or
from Beaver Tail 10 Fox Point, as the
wind may be. The breeze will be there
anyway, and the direction OF the watt is
not material. II will be loaded with the
1nvigorating whiffs OF the salty seas be-
low Point Jude, or IL will be charged
with the fine aroma OF the pine trees and
sweet smelling meadows of Rehoboth,
and in either case il Will bring refresh
ment TO the weary, and make the blood
10 course more merrily. This Sunday
down the river is godsend tor thousands.
Ii is the weekly oasis between the six
day stretches OF trouble.
The memory of small pay on the night
before Is softened by the lazy comfort
that comes with a stomach full OF clans
and fish, Baked or broiled, and the dread
of the next, morning, the morning OF
wash day, becomes less dreadful.
And then again it is so cheap The
sail and the dinner and the extras alto
gether do not spoil dollar bill SO badly,
but what the next weeks milk bill can
be paiu out OF tho balance. unless there
are new triplets in the family circle.
There is only one difficulty about going
down river for pleasure. Ii is hard to
decide where togo. There are so many
good places, each with its own special at
fractions and all with their seductive
dinner offerings. But don't be like the
ass that starved to death from indecision
as he stood between two loads OF hay.
Draw lots IL you can't do any other way.
Put the names OF Atwell, Boyden and
Harrington In hat and then pick out
one without looking, no matter which
1t is you will get good dinner and have
n good time. But better still, just begin
early in the summer and keep IL up until
the season closes and go the rounds, one
! lace this week and another next and
80 on during three months OF solid COM
fort.

ROCK Y POINT.

When great New York artist came to
New EnglarSe some years ago to select
the best place for picture OF bay coast
scenery he finally esta blished himself in
a temporary studio where he might have
before him the beauties of the Warwick
coast on Narraganestt Bay.
And for particular point he chose
Rocky Point. And thousands endorse tho
judgment OF that artist every week.
Rocky Point is strong on its concerts,
cafes, Its Ferris wheel, merry-go-rounds
and toboggan slides, but in addition to
all these attractions is the -beaHty y-ef
nature. so rugged and picturesque nj
this point that the works of man do not
deface but. by con ntrast, intensity.
And besides that Manager Harrington
does serve mighty fine clam dinner.
III ever this popular resort makes
strong bid for popular favor IL is nov.
The attractions offered SO far are decided
ly In advance OF former seasons, good as
they were then. II is announced that
today the great .'Chute' will be
ready and by tonight the phrase "shoot-
ing the chutes" Will be heard on all sides.
No doub bt this sport will catch the fancy
of Rhode Islanders an II has the natives OF
other sections. In the Forest Casino q
new CONF pSny makes its first appearance.
The list includes such well known artists
rs The Great Atlas, Modern Hercules,
Mile. Atlas, revolving globe artist, lit
tie Annie, e,Wilkes,a most remarkable child
artist who Is certainly PRODIGY, the
Providence favorites, The Four Cohans,
who come with new sketch called
"Goggle's Doll House." in which they
created much success at the Union

ME Goodwin, Curtis IL Golden, Ives Il

ry, The Pattens IN a droll musical act,
The Powers Brothers and several
others. Colonel Harrington promises an
especIa.ly..eood shore dinner TO morrow
and the ball game is of course sure to
prove strong drawing card.
popular place with bicyclists be they
novice or expert, is the Powers Brothers.
Columbia Rink where everything apper-
taining TO a bicycle business Ia done

PAINS Great Spectacle.

On Monday night July 27. at the tall
grounds at Rocky Point, PAINS pyro-
technical spectacle, "Ihe War Between
China and Japan" will receive It's FIR
presentation in Providence. The engage
meDt will continue for two weeks, aud
nightly performances of this wonderful
spectacle will be presented.
Pain IL the giant OF fireworks; his
wonderful mind has conceived all OF the
ideas of the marvelously realistic pictures
of wars, both ancient and modern, that
have been reproduced in America in the
past score of years. In, England he Is rec
ognized as standing pre-eminent and
alone, the master mind In the display OF
realistic and artistic pictures. At Man
haitian Beach, every summer new and
vivid illustration OF some historic event
is'faithfully reproduced, and last summer
"Japan and Chins" was the subject. This
startling piece OF realism was ge eDerally
conceded TO be the most perfect of ell his
efforts. The subject was most appropri-
ate one, as the stirring incidents OF the
Orient were at that time. and In point
OF fact are yet fresh I'm the mind OF every
newspaper reader.
Tue beautiful picture to be presented
next week at Rocky Point IL precisely
the same as the original scene at Coney
Island. Every detail of the original pro-
duction will be faithfully reproduced.
some idea OF the magnitude OF the en-
terprisP msy be derived from the fact
that there Will be over 500 people In
the production; that a special train OF 20
cars IL required TO move the attraction
from place TO place, and that over $1,000
worth OF fireworks are burned nightly.
Between the first and second tableaux OF
the enterta inmeDt a mum ber OF startling
and novel features are introduced, in
cluing n troupe of Japanese acrobats, q
mum ber of wonderful tum blers, and TN
extraordinary dive of 100 feet, which Is
the highest on record, into tank con-
tanning but two feet Of water. This dar-
ing and dangerous feat has never before
been seen i'm America, and will doubtless
prove one OF the most enterta ining fea-
lures of tho entertainment.
The Improvement that has been shown
I'm almost all branches Of mechanical
work during the past few years has been
particularly illustrated i'm fireworks; and
az year succeeds year, Mr.. Pain has beon
sple to produce novelties that nj one time
would have seemed an impossibility.
Water fireworks, day fireworks, beauti-
ful Japanese flowers, oriental plants and
animals, tropical effects, gorgeous rock.
cts, beautiful shells aud bombs, and
magnificent set pieces are blended to-
gether In profuse confusion, and form
the most magnificent pyrotcehnical dis
plays that have ever been seen since the
world began.
Not To seesthis greatest OF all outdoor
amusements Is TO miss one of the really
great treats OF the summer season. A
feature ot'the entertainment is the mag
nificent imperial band and orchestra OF
90 pieces.
Prices for this entertainment will be
popular, the admission boing but %
cents.
