Webster, July 21.-Webster will soon
have another society If the efforts of
Joseph Simoneau prove to be of any
avail. simoneau has, canvassed the
town and has interested many young
people in the society of the Pontifcal
zouaves.
These young people will meet next
Tuesday evening in st. Jean Baptiste
hall on Davis street, and organize Il
company through the efforts of young
Simoneau, an ex-lieutenant Of company
a Of Marlboro.
Capt. J. B. LaRiviere of Co. B, Of
Worcester, will be present. An cleo
ton of officers will take place and ali
possible preparations made to have a
society. x Simoneau comes from MARI
boro and has been connected with the
society for many years. At present
there are IL young men who have sig
nified their intention of joining. This
number will probably swell up to 40 or
90 before Tuesday night of next week.
The object of the society is of & So
clal nature, and it is just the thirg
Webster has needed for a long sine.
Many predict a successful future ici'
1t.
After the election of officers the
president will send the names of the
young men who desire to join, to Lieut..
Col, Gueyet Of Lowell, who will for
ward them a charter if he sees fit.
There are but two societies now about
Webster, Company A of Marlboro and
Company b of Worcester. The society
in Webster will be known as Company

pany will do doubt be Joseph simon
GaIj Whila 7 n Riviera who will
be present that evening, will probably
become major.
The young men who have thus far
signified their intention are all French,
the society being of that origin After
a few weeks, if things turn out suc-
cessfully, the company will purchase
uniforms, and will make arrangements
to hire hall for their permanent
headquarters.
Webster Base Ball club is making
many arrangements to defeat South
bridge on Beacon park grounds tonaor-
row afternoon. Webster thought she
had obtained Griffin and Carney from
The spec" towns team, but were sur
prised to learn this morning that South
bridge had offered them more to stay
With them.
1t is said here that Horton Of the
Worcesters, who won few games for
Webster by his elegant pitching, from
Southbridee and East Douglas, will be
in the box for the visitors,
The Spy reporter got several tips to-
Cay from which he can intimate that
Webster has big surprise in store for
her rival sports. Shea of the Man
chesters, Of the New England League,
wifi. be present and will cover third
base. Probably Saunders viii pitch
taRd Merritt will catch, although the
Webster management may see fit TO
make some change.
All indications now point towards to-
morrow's game being the fastest ex-
hibition of good base bail playing seen
on the Beacon park diamond this year.
The Websters will buck up against the
Worcesters August g. After playing the
Worcesters If a good showing is made,
there is no doubt but what the next
team will be the Bostons.
