REGIMENTS AGAIN

at First.
Best Game of the SeasOn-GOOd
Battery Work.

If David Dayton had slept anywhere
but on first base when he was playing
in Saturdays game, it is probable the
result would have been the other way.
But David slept, and when German
threw the ball to first and put him out
he walked back to the bench with a
didn't know 1T was loaded" ex-
preston on his face. Again, in the
ninth inning David forgot that ne
could not run, and started for home
without the cheerful encouragement Of
the coacher, and died at the plate.
Twice in the history of Saturdays
came David forgot himself and failed
TO tally-but it was a great game.
Bower and German comprised the
battery of the Regiment team and Lee
mon and Dayton for the St. Louis nine.
Nearly all the hits made by the ST.
Louis men were close to the handle,
and for Lemon-the first clean hit was
made by Bower in the fifth inning,
when he swatted the ball to left for a
base. The fielding generally was good.
the exception being Luahiwa in left
field for the Regiments, and Gleason
at short. for the ST. Louis. Luahfwa
redeemed one of his muffs by making
splendid running catch in the third
inning. retiring Willis. German and
Luahiwa took the batting honors, the
former making a fine three-bagger.
Luahiwa sent the ball to Clarke, in the
third inning, and would have been out
at first. but for the fact that Clarke
over-estimated Willis height. The
throw gave Luahiwa three bases, and
Gleason's muffed ball from Moore's
bat brought Luahiwa home.
The game was intensely exciting
and to the surprise of every one, was
the best of the season. Following is
the score:

The Adams Tax Bill taxing bonds

discussion has arisen in Investment
circles, ia likely to have oheckered
existence before the state and county
realize much frnm the tax it leries on
bonds and mortgages. The local asses
sors viii be ready TO start making the as
sessment when they have received their
instructions A checkered career
is prophesied for the act from the
probability that its conetitutionality
will he called in question before the
State courts. Already several princi-
pal objections to the bill have been dis
cussed privately and should it come
before the courts they will IN all likeli-
hood be urged against it, They are aa
follows!
First-That the act is urconstitu.
tional because it gives the assessor the
right to decree what property is assessa-
BILE. which right is held to be Prov
ince of the court.
Second Because il impairs the obli-
cation of contracts heretofore made.
All mortgages have in them this pro-
vision Without any deduction, de,
falcation, or abatement TO be made OF
anything for or in respect of any taxes,
charges or assessments Whatsoever. "
Third-Because it is class legisla-
tion and certain class are exempted,
and tho objection is tho same as the
objection made to the Income Tax Bill.
Fourth Because it is double tax.
since it taxes the valuo of the real es-
tate for the full value Of the property
and also taxes the mortgage that may
be against the same. ~
Fifth Because it attempts TO tax do
crees for the entering of judgments and
J mortgages made by the orphans court
and court OF chancery, which is claimed
TO be a direct infringement upon the
provinces of those courts.
The case ia likely to be brought up
when an attempt is made to collect
