YOUR HIGH HAT OBsTRUCTs
MY VIEW OF THE STAGE.
KINDLY REMOVE 1T.

These cards placed In a conspicuous spot in the
lobby and good many are carried into the house.
Yes and used, TOO. II Is said that occasionally a
really obstinate woman will receive many half
dozen cards before she finally yields. or course
some do not -ied all. but their evenings enjoy
ment can't be very complete.
Men have grown wonderfully bold over this high
hat nuisance and the most bashful among them
no longer hesitate to ask an abatement of the Of
fence.
Not long ago the wife OF prominent young busl-
man. whose name has attained something OF
a National reputation, wore her new opera bonnet

OF course the offending headgear came of at

The bonnet's owner didn't get look at the hat

BASE BALL.

To morrow Thursday, the Doyles-
town club will play our team in this city.
1t will doubtless be one of the most ex-
citing games of the season.
The game of base ball last Saturday in
this city, between the Pennington Club
and our home team resulted in victory
for our club by score of % to T. The
Femingtonians can do far better than
that.
The Lambertville Junior Base Ball
Club won game from the Crescents, of
Doylestown, at the Athletic Grounds last
Friday by a score of 9 to 4 The game
was good one and was lost for the
Doylestown boys mainly through the
wild pitching of Lehman. The Cres-
cents pitcher was not hit hard, but
almost every run scored by the Jerseys
boys was the result of base on balls.
Hoffman, for the visitors, did good work
in the box, having the local batters at his
mercy. About seventy.five people saw
the game DoyleStOaOn Democrat.
The Montgomery A. A. team defeated
the Doylestown Giants for the second
time this season in a finely played game
at the Athletic Grounds in Doyestowp,
last Saturday. Both teams played good
ball and the closeness of the score made
the contest exciting from start TO finish.
Montgomery took the game. by score of
to O, and that they did so was entirely
due to O'Donuell's superb work in the
box. The young University of Pennsyl-
vania player was much more effective
against the Giants than any other twirler
who has faced them this season. lie gave
the locals but three scattered hits, and be-
ing given excellent support he succeeded
in administering TO the Giants their first
shut-out of the season.
The DoylestoaOn Democrat says :
"The Doylestown Base Ball club has
lost three OF it's best known and most
skilful players-the three big, athletic
men who secured the local aggrega
ton their title of "Giantsn George
Joe and Harry Ruos. The two former
will leave town this week for Delaware
where they will operate a creamery
They will remain away at least all Sum
mer. Harry is now so bnsily engaged il
the manufacture of his famous Lenap'
bicycle that the business requires bill
whole attention, and he has given up bas'
ball for good. The local nine will lool
strange to patrons of the sport here with
out the big Ruos boys upon it. They hav'
played upon the Doylestown team for thu
last ten years and are thoroughly identi
| fed with base ball here.
