the Democrat force won't do. The
great game between the Democrat and
Beacon journal was played Saturday
afternoon at Summit Lake Park. 1t
resulted In a score of 26 to IL in favor
OF the other fellows.
The Democrats force went to the
grounds in tally-ho.
II was a sight-the big tally-ho, the
royal equippage, the four prancing
steeds, and the magnificent advance
of the great outfit--to which Akron's s
people had never been treated before.
The tally-ho started from in front of
the Daily Democrat office. There was
large crowd of people at the office
TO see the Democrats club off for the
park, and when the tally-ho set sail.
and nut out for sea, the scene was one
full of ecstacy and inspiration. lf
ever a man was proud that he lived in
Akron, It was Saturday afternoon,
when he beheld the marvellous enter
prise of the official organ of the city.
Large flags, the proud emblem of our
country, and long may she wave, We're
carried and waved patriotically by the
members of the club. Cleopatria's
barge would look like 80 cents beside
the travelling outfit of the Democrats

The Democrats men went to The ba
first. The first man to WELD the vii
low was Jimmy" Bell. Kelly, th,
Bsncon's pitcher. went through a few
facial contortions, and delivered TIL,
first ball OF the game. 1t came to til,
batter like n gentle zephyr, and Bel
swatted 1t with such an excecdlngl,
great swat that the ball went scvera
yards beyond the outfielders, and be
fore anyone knew what was up, "Jim

Costlgan and others tossed out a mis-
celinneous assortment of two aud tire
baggers, always hitting the first ba
