A Topeka lady who takes much in

the Committee of Fifteen through the
Journals columns, that the committee
import a horseIeSs wagon and run it
around the fair grounds track the entire
week at 10 cents a ride The idea is
that probably $4,000 of our visitors have
never seen a horselesS wagon and will
be delighted with the opportunity to
ride in one ''to see how it goes 1t
has been estimated that as much as $500
might be made out of this scheme dur

Oh, dear! What are things com
ing to anyhow? One choice bit OF
local sensation only rolls out, from
under the tongue of the public when
another follows, and this time it is
our highly esteemed and venerable
First Selectman, Elisha Brigham,
that is talked about, and why?
Well, he was fshed out of the river,
quite earlyish, Monday morning of
this week, and along with him his
faithful horse and buggy. 1t was
over near 1.-THE castle" on Bridge
street where the disaster happened.
1t is said that his official duties had
taken him to the household of the
Floods, and in the confusion of get
ting his horse backed around, over
the bank the whole outfit went, to be
engulfed in the raging floods below
With the assistance OF several nearby
people, the unfortunate victim of the
thrilling accident was pulled up the
embankment, where, it is said, he was
leaned against a tree, while oil hands
took a smell of his breath, but there
was nothing combustible about that
surely nothing that would cause
such an adventure, and it was early,
too, before "John" gets down town
so Mr.. Brigham went his way re-
joicing and no questions were asked
as to the " free list " oranything else.
1t was fortunate escape from some.

Base Ball Matters.
MORRIsvILLE VS.. EDENs.

-NcANh'A' A~A@A< 70. AADLANos
Saturday forenoon's rain anC
clouds cleared away and the after
noon brought clear skies and con
sequent good attendance for the bal
game, the first under the new series
and a.game that will be made a sort
of model for the Morrisvile's to
go by in the future.
If they continue to play ball Just
like that it will be the front rank
that they'll march in. There was but
one error in the entire game credited
to Morrisville, and that was wild
throw by Beach in the 9Th inning, be
throwing wild to Cheney on 1st, and
the ball getting all out of sightunder
the bleachers. 1t was just that little
one single error that let in tie one
single score that the visitors n Jade in
the entire game. 1t is an errf that
even as good a player as Beach will
sometime make. He was lOuily APP
plauded at another point when he
ran around second base and While on
the dead run pulled down hot one
from overhead with one hand.
There were six men struck out by
Bicknell and nine by Stone. Norris
vile had 10 base hits, Eden but four.
One three Dagger was seen in the
game; that was a beauty by Cowles.
MOrrisviIle tailed four two-baggers,
Eden one. To Morrisville's one error
Eden had an offset of eight. There
was a pretty double play, in which
Beach and Cheney figured.
The home team was fixed like this,
Soule, catcher; Cowles, 3rd; Beach,
short; Cheney, LIST; Geo. Iillotson,
left; Cram, middle; Billy Tillotson,
2nd Lewis mccarthy right; Bicknell,
pitcher. Tom Cheney, the old timer,
covered LIST base all over. Lewis
McCarty made his debut in the team
and made creditable showing. All
of the boys were kinky and on deck
for good quality Of ball.
Eden showed some good talent as
follows Stone, pitcher; Davis, left
