TANNERS ARE DEFEATED.
Balm wagon Works Make Quick Work of
the Tanners Team Sunday Afternoon.

The man who proposes the game
generally gets the worst of it. Thus
twas with the tanners; they proposed
game of base ball with the Balm
Wagon Works team, and, following
the above rule, they got the hooks. It
is surprising the number of lovers of
of base ball there are in Kenosha, for
although there was a game at the golf
grounds, another out near the Sterling
works, by all odds the largest crowd
went over to see the Bainses rub it
into the Tanners. By actual count
there were 864 people on the grounds,
and although each person on the
ground desired to see one team or the
other win, all cheered alike for the
good plays, and all laughed together
at the errors, and the funny incidents
which continually occur at a ball
game. The umpires tried to be fair,
and wrong decision by one of them
was righted in the next inning by the
same umpire by a decision equally
wrong, but which made s11 things even
again, and every one on the grounds
conceded that in this instance two
wrongs made a right.
A prominent North side physician
was there, and said he had never seen
a game in his life before, and he found
plenty of people who were more than
willing to explain the different plays.
One bright young man told him it was
foot lace, but that instead of running
together, they ran one at time, and
that instead of firing a pistol or dropp-
ing handkerchief to get the racers
started, the man in the center threw
the bail, and when the man with the
stick hit it, he was privileged to run
as fast as he could. Then when the
next man came to bat, and hit the ball,
and the umpire called "Fou1'', he
wanted to know if the ball hit a
chicken.
The Bainses started in with Holder
ness and Holderness for their battery,
but they switched pitchers nearly
every lining, while the battery for the
Tanners, Pie1 and Neiderprim, stuck
it out all through the game. Neider-
prin is only boy, II or IS years old,
but caught a great game. Neither
catcher made any good throws to sec
oud. IL was too early in the season.
The Bainses will play the Somers team
next Sunday.
Nobody seemed to know positively,
but it is stated that the score was % to
10 i'll favor of the Bains'

Mr.. and Mrs. Enos Kingman and
daughter Annette left this morning
for Brownsville, Iowa, to spend the
summer with their daughter, Mrs.
Paddock, who resides in that city, and

ten miles away from their home. Mr..

England and came to this county direct
from London in 1852. It was before
the time Of railways and they reached
the city by way of a boat from Buffalo
and made the trip to Pleasant Prairie
from Southport in an OK wagon. Since
they landed at the port of Southport
the fartIest that either of them has
been was to Racine. Mr.. Kingman is
now 81 years Of age and his wife is
past 70. They recall the coronation of
Queen Victoria and were present when
the crown was placed upon the head of
the reigning sovereign of England.
In honor of their departure for their
long journey little informal party
was held at their home on Chicago
street last evening a number of their
friends and relatives. coming to say
farewell. Among those present we're

We ought to have a good exhibit in Buff

is true there was some criticism over the
states expenditure at the Worlds fair,
but we are now beginning to reap the
benefit of It. quite often l receive let
ters from people who saw our exhibit at
Chicago, and who, as a consequence, are
coming West to settle here. Our flag
pole at the Worlds fair seems to have
left vivid impression on many of them
II will be the same way with the
Pan-American exposition The thou
sands OF people who flock to It will see
what we have out here, IL we are repre-
scented by an exhibit"
Within the last thirty days Mr.. Ward
