The Congregational church was crowded
last Sunday evening at the concert given
by the Atlanta University quartet. The
object was in aid of TIE university A col
lection was taken which was sufficient to
pay the scholarship Of one pupil one year
at the school. The singing by the quartet
OF those quaint, oldtime negro splrituals
was very fine, and the talk by Mr.. Ware,
son of the founder of the school, awakened
an interest and enlightened very many on
line of philanthropy that very few here
had any real knowledge of. No more
worthy object for bequest or endowment

where your gifts, however small or large,
will be more carefully expended.

There is great excitement here over the
coming game OF base ball between the
Newport snd Springfield teams at River
side park this afternoon. 1t is reported
on good authority that Newport sports
have invested upwards of 5000 in team
with the view of getting the third game
and the money back they lost on the last
game. Only one Newport man is on the
team to come here, it is said, and that Jor-
dan. The Boston Globe said that Flana-
gan and Nelson of the Portland nine were
to be the battery for Newport. Well, for
us our old team is good enough to take
one more off Newport.
The Methodist Sunday school will hold
their annual basket picnic at the pine grove
below Goulds Mills tomorrow.

In many respects the game Saturday was
one of the best this season. The Clare
monts held the boys from running the
score up to the usual figure, and their gen
eral team work was good. Aver aud
Chapman did pretty double play. OF
the home team Richmond and Wallace as
usual put up No. game; Hinckle got
his two flies, one an almost impossible
catch, and Joe also got two and made the
star assist of the season, clean throw
from outer right to third, putting out Aver.
Reynolds and the other boys were found
with their eyes opea when anything came
their way. The final score stood, Spring
