AT FALL RIVER.

Umpire Breckenridge made his last APP
pcarancc Of the season as an umpire in
this city, and his work was very poor.
In the first inning, after two men were
out. he allowed Irwin safe at the plate,
even though he was not only touched but
did not touch The plate. 1t cost Fall
River four runs and gave away the game.
The home team made a strong up-hili
fight and would have at least tied the
score in the ninth had Breckenridge not
given another very close decision in favor
of Taunton. The features Of the game
were the al-around playing of Hill, Con-
nor and Harrington.

The Champions took the morning game
from the Pirates in a close contest
Through careless and Indifferent playing
the home team allowed the visitors to
pile up six runs in the fourth inning
Amole was then substituted for Hoffer
and for the rest of the game held Pitts
burg down to two hits. Scientific bunt-
ing, batting and base stealing by the
Champions were the features. The ORR
olcs captured the second game also from
Pittsburg, the bright, particular feature
of the afternoons contest being Corbetts
pitching.

The recent communication between
President Mckinley and Gov. Mount

of the latter to the neglected grave of

about a mile from Lincoln City, little
station on the Air Line road in Spencer

fence, which separates it from num-
Der of other graves around it, and has
a neat headstone which gives the name,
