great interest. Up to the 9TH inning
it was neck and neck, each club hay

and 9th inning Linden forged ahead,
and the game finished with score

People continued to pour into the
grounds until after 1 o'clock, by
which time about $500 We're present.
Before the last ball game was finish
ed the parade was formed for
THE GRAND STREET FAIR
down town, Very few, even those in
the city, had any conceptions of the
extent and grandeur of the evening
entertainment in store for the thous-
auds that lined our streets, and be-
fore the magnificent parade had
finished its course there was one uni
versal acclaim of satisfaction and
pleasure. 1t would require colums
to fairly describe the elegantly dec
grated rigs, and other features, and
pronounce fitting commendation of
the splendid energy, untirihg in
dustry and superb taste of those who
conceived and consummated the
display. Two of our citizens, DR.. W.
G.. Hales and Mr.. +. G. Ludden, were
the directing and moving spirits to
whom the multitude are mainly in-
debted for the splendid exhibition
To these gentlemen and the intelli-
gent and enterprising citizens who
for weeks have been devoting their
time to this work, the people are in
debted more than they can express.
THE SPLENDID PARADE
organized at 730 o'clock on the pub
lie square and moved along High |
street to Commerce, along Com
merce and Fountain to Chestnut, (
along Chestnut to High, and along
High to place of starting.
Even to mention the different
features would be impracticable at
this time. They were so many and
varied and all so worthy and credi- /
table, as to surprise even the pro-
jectors of the pageant when they /
moved in line In later issue some |
detailed description of the different (
beauties may be given.
The judges, who were chosen from
residents of other towns, one from
and two from Darlington, Z
to avoid possibility of favoritIsm,
found it difficult to decide the ques-
tion Of merit and award the prizes, /
but they did the duty conscienciously
and well. Their decisions, as fol-
lows, will be generally approved:
