Las Vegas, N. M, Aug. 10, '97.-The
Woman's board of trade of Santa Fe has
set the example for the ladies of Las ye-
gas, and through their efforts the ceme-
terry of the Meadow City is to be beauti-
fed. The ladies, taking advantage of the
baseball craze, are to turn this to profit
by having game played for the benefit
of the cemetery fund. Men, are to make
up the teams, who played ball when the
pitcher had to pitch the ball or to throw
may be that they will show the young
fellows trick or two. +. II. Pierce,
manager of the Aqua Pura Water COM
pany, is captain of one nine and d. G.
Winters, the we'll known Plaza pharma-
cist, the other. Pierce will have in line,
G. @. Gise, A. H. Whitmore, w. H. Kelly,
Will Rosentha, G. L. Perry, R. @. Ran
kin, Ollie Erickson, and d. L. Hoskins;
DR.. O. G. Gordon, A. A. Jones, and M. W.
Browne will be on the grounds as substi-
tutes for any of the disabled players of
this team. Winters has selected for his
players, A. B. Smith, j. W. collars, l.. F.
Adams, John York, l.. r. Allan, Secre-
tary Romero, W. G. Reid, and Charles
Robbins, with DR.. j. M. Cunningham, j.
f. Hurley, and R. E. Twitchell as substi-
tutes. Other officers of the game are, W.
E. O'Leary general manager, DR.. F. II.
Atkins general surgeon, f. A. Blake score
keeper, Jack Mennet umpire. Mayor
"
mittee on prizes. The game will be
played near the sanitarium for obvious
reasons. The military band will furnish
music for the occasion, and lemonade
stands will be erected for the accommo-
dation of the spectators. But the most
important part of all is, that the ladies
will look after the financial part of the
affair, and although there is no fence
around the grounds, every one will be
expected to pay an admission fee, even to
the players.
San Miguel county will be we'll repre-.
sented at the Territorial horticultural
fair in Santa Fe this fall, not only by
fruit display, but by many of her citizens
who have never yet paid visit to the
ancient capital, and will take advantage
of this occasion to do so.
There is no question but what there Is
great improvement in business in Las
Vegas. On every hand can be seen signs
of increased prosperity. With wool, cattle
and sheep double the price of last year,
how could it be otherwise? This con-
ditiop of affairs is making Republicans
very fast in this part of the territory, for
people have about come to the conclu-
sion that they may theorize all they
please and talk that protection is a tax
on the poor and breeder of trustp and
monopolies; that our monetary system Is
scheme of the rich against the poor, yet
it always happens that when the Repub-
lican party comes into power, that the
great mass of people live better; the
business man wears a broad smile, greater
enterprises are set on foot and more pub
lie Improvements are made than is possi-
BILE under Democratic rule. Or in other
words it is not throne of proanerity but
the condition that comes to the people.
