The Lynchburg Team Disbnnds.

LYNCHBURG. VA. August 22-(Spe-
cial)--The management OF the Lynchburg
Baseball Association met tonight and
determined 70 disband the team. This ac-
ton was precipitated by the fact that
Lynchburg had nine games scheduled
with Roanoke, and the team would have
to remain idle nine days during the re-
mainder OF the season OF less than thirty
days The management thought the
withdrawal OF Roanoke had so demoral-
ized the league as TO justify them I'm re-
tiring. The players tonight received
their salaries in full. and will leave for
tnelr resncctlve homes ~ once.

CLIMATE.

The climate OF Venezuela Is delightful.
and my friends cannot understand the
sincerity of my sympathy for them ou-
ring our own hot summer. The naturally
warm weather OF the coast Is tempered
and cooled by the trade winds during
the day and the mountain breezes at
night. and as the atmosphere contains
little II any, humidity, even the hot. dry
weather Is bearable and healthy.
The temperature varies but little
throughout the year. though the months
from October to May or June are the
coolest. The mountain cities. such as
Caracas. enjoy agreeable and cool weather
the year round. the thermometer seldom
registering over 70 degrees in the shade.
while a coast city like Puerto Cabelo,
may have an average OF 50 TO - degrees
on the hottest days; but this weather.
for the reasons stated, is not un-
comfortably warm.
During my residence in that country
I have never experienced such hot
weather as / have recently felt In the
United States.
