At the Lagoon.

The Lagoon captured a good crowd
yesterday drawn there no doubt by
the excellent programme of entertain
ment offered. Nearly every train from
the city carried a heavy load of pas
sengers. The performance of Wilson
and Burt was good, as was also the
musical performances of Monte Post
and Ashton, who captured their audi
ence with their funny songs and clear
witticisms. Professor Manning, the
pyrotechnical expert, gave an unuSu-
ally fine exhibition of fireworks, some
of the pieces being very beautiful and
well gotten up Papa" Smith was in
evidence everywhere looking after the
throng in his usual good natured style.
Altogether it was an excellent enter
tainment

Stood Twenty-Five to Six.

The nine ball-tossers composing the
Short Lire team still remain the invinci-

In their game yesterday afternoon with
the reorganiZed Browns they took every
thing in sight, their final score standing at
- runs, while the best the Browns could
do was six runs.
Several hundred baseball enthusiasts
journeyed to the fort with the eXpecta-
ton of witnessing stifffy contested game.
The Browns, since several of their crack
players returned from the war have got
ten together again. They promised to put
up quality of ball yesterday that would
knock large holes in the victorious front
which the Short Lines had hitherto pre-
scented at the fort. The game was called

this great staple and hOw they insist on
considering it suitable only for stock

dozen and one tup.hsOme dishes which
can be prepared from it by an American
cook, and SO long as they are left alone
they will never learn. Secretary Wil-
son hopes TO educate them. lie has re

the action Of those who have been max
ing attacks upon HIM aid his advisers
because Of what they assumed was I'M
warranted delay, Is reactng IN his favor.
1t is now clearly seen that every minute
of time occupied since the destruction
of the Maine has been IudIclously and
wisely utilized in preparing. for war. 1t
has been the constant cry of men IN con-
gress, and out Of il, for years, that the
country was entirely unprepared for
war, and IT is not surprising that when
the president and his cabinet found the
necessity for entering upon a war they
recognized the importance of preparing
the country for if as far as possible. The
result is seen in the conditions which
now exist, especially if they are coz
trasted with those OF sixty days ago.
