Lowell asked, 'Oh, what is SO rare as
| Il day in June:''
When lie said it, which was as much
explanatory as IL was interrogatory, he
had spread before him landscape kissed
by balmy winds and flooded by purest
sunlight. Such were the conditions at
National Park yesterday.
And when To such rarity is added a
maze OF color that would pale the bright
est rainbow, The Times affixes an an
pendix To sthe litterateurs allegation and
would say, There is nothing SO rare as
day in June graced by the presence Of
the ladies of Washington
1t was the prettiest day, ideally, Of
1896, and II was the prettiest audience
ever assembled within the confines of Mr.,
wagner's bailiwick. There have been

An incident of the game that evidenced
the entente cordiale existing bet ween
members of fraternity, though the givers
and the recipient were not in good stand
v.
was the presentation to Billy Hart, the
St. Louis pitcher. of a handsome ebony
wood cane, mounted with a solid gold
head.
FROM THE TIMES TYPOS
The present was from the printers en-
floyed on the Morning and Evening Times
Hart is n compositor by trade and is q
member OF the unioD-hence the testi-
monial from his fellow craftsmen.
On coming to bat the first time, Mr.
Frank Lerch, assistant foreman of the
Evening Times walked out OH the diamond
and made the presentation through Umpire
Keefe. Billy blushingly acknowledged |
the kind remembrance, and, OF course was
an easy out at first base.
The gold head of the stick was engraved
with From Printers ON The Washington
Times. June 12, 1896"
The Senators had a tip on Billy Hart's |
present and decided to take the first crack |
at the ball: They knew the present would |
give Billy bad luck as is usually the case.
After Tom Brown had struck out JOyce
swatted the leather for three bags, and
scored on Selbach's single. Abbey worked |
! base on balls and tailed the second run |
on the Baron's hit and Cartwright's out.
