D0INGS AT SAVIN ROCK
WHAT Is GOING ON Ar THIS RESORT
BIZ THE SEA.

| The Coming Graud Carnival.
What was meant to be game of
baseball between two local amateur
| mines developed into a contestant a
very poor one at that--between two de-
lapidated teams, filled with league play
ers imported to strengthen the mines,
1t would probably have been better,
and certainly a more honorable game,
| If both sides had gone on the field with
the men who have been regarded as
regular players on the respective Mines
! A more ragged and one-sided game
could hardly have been played, nor one
more filled with costly errors The
| Edgewood team seemed discouraged
and ratified from the start, and went all
| to pieces at several points of the game.
| in the first inning the Strouse-Adler
team secured a lead of six runs and
! Kept up fast pace thereafter. Claus
pitched steady game and received eX-,
cellent support. For Edgewood Leslie
Johnson was in the box attempting to
pitch with a nail off his middle finger
and channels glove on it. His sore
arm bothered him greatly and he, was
to keep his usual control of the ball. He
fielded his position without fault and
worked like a Trojan. He however,
had very poor support. The Edgewood
nine rallied several times and did good,
quick, snappy work, but as soon as an
error was made again they would get
ratified.
AS Edgewood and Strouse Adler &
Co. have won a game each of the series,
the decisive game on August IA is likely
to prove a hot one. 1t is to be hoped
that a closer fight will be put UP than
last Saturday, at which the score stood
Is to in favor of the Strouse, Adler &
Co. team.
FANCY DANCING EXHIBITION.
The fancy dancing exhibition by
Prof Neumans class of little girls was
given last Saturday evening. The Ca
sino was crowded and great enthusiasm
was manifested by the spectators. The
little girls had many admirers, but the
youngest and daintiest little miss was
the prime favorite. Her name is Irene
Landrigan, daughter of John Landri-
gan. Her dancing was faultless and
grace itself. AS she tripped over the
polished floor in pretty gown of white
with polka dots, red stockings and
slippers to match, she received vocif-
erous applause, and many called out
that little Red Stockings" had won.
The exhibition will be repeated during
Father Curtin's fair this week A
medal has been offered to the best
dancer among the little girls.
The figures are all intricate and pref
ty. The dances are Berlin polka Ok
ford minuet Columbia schottishe, Var
| i -.
others.
. HIT WITH BILLIARD CUE.
Proprietor Duffy and Frank Crossley
: were startled Saturday morning short
ly after midnight in the Casino by
something that looked to them as big
as an eagle in the dark They were
engaged in closing up the place and
shutting the windows at the time, and
had just turned off the electric lights.
The bird flew around and tapped It's
I big wings while both men ran for bill
lard cues. Duffy got good whack at
; the bird just as 1t came wheeling to-
ward him, and felled 1t to the floor A
blow or two more disposed of the bird,
which proved to be a large southern
crane 1T measured about forty inches
from tip to tip of it's wings.
1t will be stuffed and mounted and
put on exhibition as an additional feat
} ure of the Casino.
