A rather amusing, yet quite serious
incident, occurred at the Randall cor
ner the other day, when couple of
ladies and two or three children
passed in a covered carriage, turning
on to Congress street. AS the turn
was made one of the children dropped
fat into the street. The carriage
passed on with no injury Detailing
the "kid," which was hastily picked
up and placed in the carriage by a
travelling man who was at the hotel.

attended the last meeting enjoyed a
pleasant and profitable session. A

not be fully completed, but our boys
did not take their turn at the bat
in sixth and quit one in the lead, at
II to 10. As a memento of that
game and it's victory G. W. Clark full
fills his promise and secures the best
bat that can he found. The boys are
open to all such tokens of remem-
| branCe.
