THE EcLIPsK WINS ANOTHER v1cropv
Just tell the Danvilles that thew
saw us" and I'VE have met the Hail
Hitters' and they are ours" cried the
enthusiastic cranks as they cheered
the Eclipse who played such a spIen-
lid game last Monday. The novelty
OF the entire game was the pitching
done by Hickson Price of Richmond
and his brother who is the wonder of
southwestern Virginia.
The Hail Hitters took the stick and
endeavored to wreak dire vengeance
on the sphere, but gave it up in dis
gust, they just couldn't touch HIM
When the Eclipse came to bat thew
lined several singles between lst and
2nd bases and succeeded in scoring
two runs. In the second inning the
Price from Danville bore down on our
boys and the~result was they couldn't
touch him for long while. The Dan
villes however succeeded in getting
five runs and the Eclipse eclipsed then
by two. The score standing

We are happy to note that many
persons views concerning the unlaw-
fulness of the dances given at the hal
are entirely erroneous. Upon investi
lgstiOn we found out that such publ,
Entertainments are countenanced b,
law.
We further learn through the mana
lgers that the law has issued to then
Licenses thus making them only re.
sponsible for the good order observed
ON THE cHMBoRAzo.
i With the new cars on the Traction
ICompany's lines which runs on a thre,
minutes schedule to the beautiful
lChimborazo, it has made that grass,
plot pleasant place of recreation.
Indeed Church Hill is becomin,
more and more popular with the ad.
vent of this new line. A special pro
J Igramme was prepared on last Wednes
day night. Among the interestin,
features was the play entitled "Blacl
. America" We saw quite a goo,
, sprirkling Of Black Americans anon,
the spectators, but the whole pro
, gramme failed to materalize and tn
! audience had to be cOntented, Will
; the band played Annie Laurie"
THE "BIKE" RUNS AWAY.
On last Tuesday morning Mr.. An
drew McRae colored man was ritiin
} liesureIy along Broad Street with tn
air of man who thoroughly kDe,
leverything pertaining to the scienc
OF bicycling. When he reached 22n
and Broad which has quite a stee
grade, he lost control of his machin
+. and it started at such rate of spee
? that many thought he was the macbin
b. with it's owner dashed into the rear {
a coal cart. Mr. McRae was badI
scratched about the tands and fac
, and his wheel was wrecked. The co,
cart escaped uninjured.
LOCALS AND PERSONALS.
e The Richmond Railway and Electr
/ Company is running & branch Iin
t from 23rd and Marshall to FairmouI
< which when completed will do muc
good towards opening up that beaut
full suburb OF our city.
Little George Samuel Banks wh
was run down by the Seven Pines ca
an account of which was published g,
Iclusively in the PLANET" sometiu
ago, is out again.
Four years ago Church Hill was al
ed with Political Jonahs and stras
Cling buns. etc, from both of our tW
great parties, who went about maxim
speeches and holding torch light DIT,
cessions, buying and selling votes
big style, but now it does not seem ,
if Church Hill knows that candidat,
for the Presidency has been anp oun,
ed. Is it then that politics are gettir
better or that both parties have QoI
down to such an extent in public opi
ion that are beyond hope of resu
n rectiOn?
We note that many of our ladi
have taken to the wheel but as to the
being experts is another matter
ge was evidenced by the many falls tn
re met with few days ago.
