Cheyenne, the Celebrated Trottins Stallion
Gives a Magnificent Exhibition!
A Wonderful Performance!
The Days Sports Appropriately Ended
with Dancing in the Evening!

On Friday evening, there was much
anxiety in Webster when a heavy bank
of clouds gathered in the west with con-
siderable lightning playing thro' it and
an occasional sprinkle of rain falling.
Is it going to rain ? was an oft-repeated
question. The opinion was quite gener-
al that our field day sports would have
to again be postponed on account of in
clement weather. Tuesday morning,
appearances were not much improved
the earth was endeloped in a heavy fog
SO dense it almost amounted to rain
but despite the threatening appearance
OF the weather the crowd began togath-
er, and by the time it commenced to
clear up and the Jog raised, the stree is
presented the appearance OF a holiday
celebration.
The program OF the day was opened
somewhat later than planned in order
that those who had been delayed ON
account OF tie uncertainty OF the weather
might have ample time to see the whole
show. The band formed on Main ST.,
in front OF the post office, played q few
selections and marched to the ball park,
followed by an immense crowd.

Webster Takes a Fall out of &over.

The Webster base ball aggrega ton
drove TO Andover Tuesday for the pur-
pose OF demonstrating the fact that the
boys up there couldn't play the national
game. We arrived in town about 100
and were met by Bob Martyr, manager
OF the Andover team, who with q num-
Der OF the boys escorted US to the hotel
where arrangements had been made for
our entertainment. After removing the
dust OF travel from their handsome
co%untenances and partaking OF dinner,
| all proceeded to the ball ground where q
good-sized crowd had gathered in antici-
| patton OF the game. Jim Foster OF
Groton was chosen for umpire and was
all right in every way. Game was called
| about $50, the home team taking the
field. Our boys had their batting eye
| with them and when they were retired
| three scores were placed to their credit.
The Andover boys were scared why,
during the early part OF the game they
could not have stopped a barrel rolling
across the field, and Denny Durick seem
to be hoo-dooded, anyhow he was an
easy mark. In the first three innings,
but ten Andover men went to bat, while
the second inning proved a sort OF mer-
ry go'round for the visitors as they
| scored eight rms. But life is too short
to give the game by innings or record
| the errors made. Andover got their
first score in the fourth, and finding our
battery not entirely invincible, braced
up and commenced to play ball. Durick
got his pitching clothes on and Webster
scored but two uns in the last four
innings. Not to be out-done in any feat
ure OF the game, our fellows did the
Juggling act in fine style for the last
four innings, and Andover piled up four
teen more runs. The following is the
score by innings
Webster
just why these teams should put up
such a rocky game is a %conundrum and
we give it up. OF course, Audover can't
play much ball; but few amateur teams
have license to make % runs in o game
off Durick when he is in form. BY the
way. brother Raynes, would it not be
well to import a few players,-seyen on
eight,-then you could come up and
make it interesting for the Webster
team. Just try it once. w still have
that enclosed ground and grand stand
and will be pleased to meet an Andover
team at any time.
The Andover rooters heres where
we are stuck. How shall we describe
them? A serenading party at a III
try wedding with the famous horse
fiddle, tin pan, shot gun, rosined string
accompaniment is a soft, soothing lullaby
when compared with the rooter c. orus,
in tone, volume and endurance. They
would make a chariyari party green
with eayy. Rome may bav howled, but
II was an ancient howl and not in it
with the Andover rooteIs at a ball game.
They with the preliminary
practice and keep up a constant roar
with variations until the last cheer for
the umpire. Boys, get a team that can
keep pace with your rooters and You
will be world heaters.

The Ball Game

was between heStronseton and Webster
teams, and the audience witnessed the
best game ever played in Day County.
The teams were very evenly matched and
il was quite evident from the start that
both intended to play ball. The visitors
went TO bat and scored once. The locals
followed example and made one run,
each team having men die on bases. The
second inning was completed without a
man on either team getting to first base.
In the third, " ebster punched hits and
a,ade two n while Strouseton was
able TO score but one in their hall .
This gave Webster a lead which was
held thro' the remainder OF the game,
the only other scores being made in the
sixth when each side took n The
score by innings:
Stronseton-1 O 1 0010 o 0-3.
Webster-1 0 2001O0*-4
In the first hall OF the ninth, the visitors
had three men on bases with one out,
and excitement ran high. Then Il man
famed out, and a nieely-tielded hot hit
to short and throw-out at first settled
the came. 1t was without doubt the
best game ever played in this part OF the
state. Errors were conspicuous BY their
absence. Ovr reporter was too bnsy
roofing TO give an exact summary. The
Game was characterized by short hits
and sharp fielding. There was but little
kicking or disputing over decisions but

the event, giving a short history OF the
horse, stating he was the fastest blind
horse in the world by about four seconds
his mark being lax. Cheyenne finished
the heat in 2:23H amid shouts OF ap-
plause from the crowd. When you take
into consideration that the horse had
no pace-maker, that the track is seventy
feet long to the mile, and is not thrown
up at the turns, and was heavy owing to
recent rains, the time is remarkably asst.

 ''I had fight with Charlie" was the fearful reply.
 Well, you ought not to fight. It served you right to get whipped, l guess, said the father
 ''But I didn't get licked. I licked him." sobbed the boy.
 Well, what arc you crying about then?"
 "Why, if I had let him lick me, ne couldn't hurt. And I never thought about that, so now have to fight his big brother, about my size, and can lick him. and I'm going tu, because I'm mad at him. Then I've got to fight the biggest brother, and he's three sizes big ger than me, and won't catch itr' And Tommy refused to be comforted. Washington Star.

Coal From China

China has thrown down the gauntlet to the big coal miners of this country. An American bark recently brought to the Pacific coast mixed sample cargo of anthracite and manufactured coal mined and made in the Tonquin district. It is intended to push the Chinese fuel at prices greatly below those which Penn- sylvania and Welsh coals of the same character are now bringing. Experts have pronounced the Tonquin coal bed practically inexhaustible. The manufao- tured coal is entirely new to American markets. It is made by tho Chinese na- tives from coal dust The dust is mixed with pitchy substance and compressed into egg shaped Jumps. The inflamma- ble cement aids combustion, and the coal makes a very hot and very clean fire. The imported coal is said to be of the finest quality. fully equal to the best American or British coals, while it can be sold proitably at a price much be- low the standard rates Pennsylvania and Welsh anthracite for house use are now selling on the Pacific coast at about SIS ton. The Tonquin coal of the same grade can be sold to give a good return at $9 ton, while Tonquin anthracite steam coal can be quoted at least $l 0 ton under the present price of Welsh coal of that grade.

A els.. Mansion In Newport.


 A magnificent dwelling house, built wholly of colored glass bricks. has been planned to be built at Newport for Pa cifio coast millionaire. The architects are not yet permitted to disclose the name of the prospective owner of this unique architectural oddity, first, be- cause be is still abroad, and, second, be- cause certain details of construction have not been determined.
 This Newport building, which will be designed somewhat after the style of an old Pompeiian palace, is to be begun during the coming winter. On account of the elaborateness of the design and the great care and skill required in the construction of the building it will not be completed under two years.
 The architects say that the ground plan of the house will in some respects resemble that of the house of Pansa. fa- miliar to readers of 'The Last Days of Pompeii. Y" The bricks will be of vari- ous sizes. shapes and oolors. and the ef- feet will be of an oriental richness which will defy description.
 This will be the first residence in the world constructed of such material and on these lines. It is to be built in the form of a square, inclosing an open court, inside of which a fountain will play. By means of electric lights in many colored globes concealed at the source of the fountain the water will fall in shower of varicolored hues. It is said that the owner of this fountain contemplates on certain occasions hav- ing perfumed water flow from the foun- tain, thus scenting the entire court. and on occasions of festivity a continuous current of California wine of his own vintage will flow from the pitcher held in the uplifted hand of the bacchante in the center of the fountain.

Button Timepfeces.

A buttonhole watch is obviously a very useful and ornamental fashion. This unique timepiece can always be kept in sight and enables one 10 answer 6 question as to the time with the min imum amount of trouble. Large quan- titles of theso miniature watches were imported from France for the Christmas season. The buttonhole watch fad orig mated in France. They were first worn by bicyclists in the sleeve or in one of the lower buttonholes of the coat They enabled the cyolist to see the time with out inconvenience while riding at full speed.
 In America they will be worn, how ever, in the lapel of the coat. The or dinary form of buttonhole watch has a face about half an inch in diameter, or even less It may readily be seen that when these tiny faces are tastefully dec- orated they will be highly ornamental to the lapel of most coats. At a distance they might readily be mistaken for a badge of the Legion of Honor or some similar device.
 The works of these novel watches are about the size of an ordinary lady s watch. The face, which is about one- fourth the diameter of the works, is con- nected with the mechanism by thin neck The buttonhole watches may be bought for sl0, although some of the most elaborate designs are worth ten times that figure.
