BURLINGTON 3, MOUNT HOLLY 2.
Mount Holly made it's second trip te
Burlington and came away defeated-3 tc
2. The other time it was to in favor
of Mount Holly
There was large crowd of spectators,
and they saw great game Burlington
played errorless ball, although none of il
was very difficult, while Mount Holly
made two mistakes, both of which were
costly.
The pitching honors were about even,
both twirlers doing good work
Dunn did the best playing for Mount
Holly. He had five put-outs, none Of
which was easy, made run and three hits
and stole base. That's very creditablt
record.
The other features for Mount Holly
were Green's batting and pretty running
catch of difficult fly by Kingdom
Dobbins and Daniels carried off the
honors for Burlington. Daniels made one
and Dobbins two two baggers, and both
fielded above the average.
Burlington scored first, getting one run
in the second inning. Tobin was out on q
fly to Dunn. Wood reached first on Den
ness error in letting the grounder pass and
Hoover got base on balls. Daniels rap
ped out double, scoring Wood Reed
and Vansciver struck out.
Each club tailed one run in the sixth
Dobbins hit for two bags and was ad
vanced to third by Carfrey's sacrifice
A pitched ball got short distance past
Green, but he quickly gathered it and
threw it to Wilson, who was covering
home plate. Wilson was over anxious tc
catch Dobbins, who ran from third, and
dropped the ball as he was tagging the
runner. 1t would have been an easy out
but for the error. Carfrey was retired
Wilson to Denness Tobin struck out, and
Hoover died on a fly to Dunn
Gleason hit to Daniels and was out on 6
close decision at first Kelly banged the
ball over left fielder Vansciver and reached
second, going to third on a sacrifice BY
Logan. Dunn singled, scoring Kelly
Mcguire quit on fly to Carfrey. One
run. Score 2 to /.
Burlington scored an earned run in the
eighth. Dobbins got the glad hand from
the rooters by making another clean dou
BILE, going to third on Carfrey's sacrifice
Tobin made hit and Dobbins crossed the
rubber. Wood was retired on a foul tc
Green and Hoover for the third time sue
cumbed to Dunn's fieetness of foot after 6
long fly.
Mount Holly's half of the ninth was
quite exciting, and at one time it looked
as if there would be more than the usual
number of innings
Dunn reached first on single. Ma
guire was declared out for being hit by a
batted ball, although he did not leave the
box. That was hard luck and bad UNI
piring and may have changed the result.
Denness was retired on fly to Hoover,
and Wilson got pass to first. Green sin
gled, scoring Dunn, and advancing Wilson
to third. Kingdom was out on high
foul fly to Black, ending the game.

WHITE HILL 4, DELANco 2.

Delanco's second appearance at White
Hill showed five new faces and even then
they were one man short, so Boulder was
borrowed and played fine game in right
field.
The home team did not have the walk
over it experienced in the previous game,
as Delanco put up a stiff article of ball
Hesley, as usual, was very effective,
only two hits being tailed against him
and both of these were made by one player
Furth and Church did some fine fielding
for White Hill, and Anvil, Graham and
Quigg did the best work for the visitors.

FLORENCE Il, BoRpENTowN l

The game at Florence was interesting
until the fifth inning, when the home
team sized up Hitchner to such an extent
that he was relieved by Fenton. After
that it was walk over, all interest in the
contest having ended. Cook and Aikens
did some nice fielding, and the home club
players fattened their batting averages.

Owing to Beverly's defeat at Palmyra,
on Saturday, White Hill now holds first
place undisputed in the race for the
County League pennant. Palmyra moved
ahead of Mount Holly, and Florence got
a tighter grip on third place, being now
only one game behind Beverly. That
most of the clubs are evenly matched is
becoming more evident as the season
progresses, and it is no ''sure thing" yet
as to who will get that flag.

RESTORED BY FLoGGING.

Ethan Palmer, a flower grower OF
Atlantic Highlands, n. J.. took big
dose of laudanum because he was fran
tic with a toothache and wanted to
stop it quickly. DIR. Van Matters gave
hypodermic injections to counteract
the effect of the poison. Then f1ogging
was resorted to. Two men walked the
unconscious man up and down while a
third used up a bundle of apple
switches on his back and legs.
The whipping began at about 1870
o'clock. At about SIS o'clock Palmers
eyelids began to twitch and to lift slug
gishly. Word went through the crowd
that had gathered that he was saved.
Five or six men caught up switches
ana began to lay them on. 1t sounded
as though five men were beating as
many carpets. Little by little the signs
of returning consciousness appeared.
By $50 O'Clock, after four hours of
steady fOgging, Palmer was able 10
walk by himself
The whipping still went on, but final
ly Dr. Van Matters thought enough had
been done and that Palmer could be
kept awake as long as was necessary

THE lead PENCIL.
Interesting Facts About a Most Popu-
lar Instrument

The Head pencil. the most common OF
all wri.inig implements. is somewhat
over two hundred years Old. The term
lead pencil however. is a miSnomer
as in meteorological sense, there Is
not particle CT lead in its compost
ton. The lead pencil originated With
the discovery of the graphite mines IN
| England, in 1864. during the reign OF
Oueeu Elizabeth. As graphite so
greatly resennibled galena. the German
name for which was bleiglalnZ. it was
given the name CT lblei, or lead. In
The early DAYS of lead pencil making
the graphite was sawed into than
sheets and cut into strips smaller and
smaller until they were of a size to be
covered with light wooden sips. and
thus serve as pencils. The first pencils
created much excitement. The CRAP
hite mines of Elzgiand were considered
of i.crs Unable VaiTre. and were protect
ed by law. But there was greater
waste-frst. in digging. for many of
the pieces were too small for cutting.
and again in the manner of cutting the
graphite. which WAS SO crude that half
the material was lost. SO a binding
substance had tic he invented. Gum.
glue isi-iIiass and other substances
were tried, but the graphite Was onay
rendered hard and brittle and of I'M
even hardness. Its marks were faint
and indEstinCi. and in those days if
the point broke it was quite an under
taking to sharpen i. again First the
wood had to be cut away, and the
graphite heated over a light to soften
it, after which it was drawn to a point
with the fingers. In 1895 Con,te.
Frenchman, came on the idea Of using
pulverized graphite and binding clay.
This discovery resulted in pencils of
varying hardness. according to- the
amount of binding clay added, and
each pencil WAS of exactly thu same
throughout its length. Soon after this
discovery Improvements followed in
mixing. rolling and shaping the graph
rte composition, which was cut into
lengths. placed into warm oven to
harden and finally encased il wood, as

THE REFRESHING PEAT BATH.

The latest craze among the society
women of London is the luxury known
as peat baths, and Strathpeffer Spa be-
gins to rival Harrowgate in their affec-
ton. According to one who knows
ones first bath is a luxury not easily
forgotten, and it's effect on the COM
plexion is magical. First comes the
period of immersion in a bath tub
filled with warm, soft peat, brought
from some distant moor, and pounded
and heated and mixed with water IL
the Subterranean regions A lid with
an open space for the bather's head is
lowered over the occupant of the bath
and the soft voiced Highland girl in
attendance leaves you to the dreamy
reflection induced by the warmth and
fragrance of the peat. When twenty
minutes are up you are set in a corner
to have the first coat of peat sprayed
off by hose. A plunge into a warm
tub that is ready alongside the peat
trough completes the process and,
wrapped in warm towels. you are left
to recline on a couch while pleasant
drowsiness overcomes you. When you
have dressed and spent twenty min
uteS or so in the pleasant little cooling
room, you return to your hotel, feeling
physically and mentally a giant re-
freshed, and the compliments on your
improved appearance will make you
wish that a peat bath were a less
costly luxury. According to tradition
the virtues of the peat bath We're dis
covered by accident. A litter of little
pigs which wallowed daily in the peat
mud on a hillside, We're noticed to have
much more glossy coats than their fell
low piglets. The example of the piglets
was speedily followed and the peat
bath became fashionable as a cure for
skin diseases.-From a London Letter.
