In addition to the handsome charm
which the furnace people presented
to Mr.. Bird, very pretty gold
thimble was given to Mrs. Bird at
the same time.
Mrs. Bird appreciates the little
gift very much, as she was very much
attached to the furnace people.

things considered, is a tie. East stone

1t seems that both teams have laid
aside "kicking."
The umpire was good for so young a
man. However, there are some points
that were decided against the B. ,. Us
that had gone against them in an opposite
direction in previous games. Some points
need attention before future games are
played.
The grandstand was filed with ladies
and gentlemen, who took lively interest
in the game and applauded their fayorites
when close play was made. A grand
stand full of lace, fans and fair faces
makes good playing.
