MIR. BATEMAN'S REMARKS.
England and the United States are
| no longer two nations, they are one,
! separated only by. an ocean. There are
! three classes of people in this country
| the people who know, the people who
don't know, and the people who don't
| want to know | will not speak of the
| last two classes, but ! will say that
| the people who know. know that bond
now exists between the great British
! empire and the great American repub-
| lie that will never be dissolved as long
| as time lasts.
There are two names that shine out
in all this present unfortunate Soutf
African trouble. They are the name
of the Gordon Highlandcrs. the bravest
| truest soldiers that ever fought 4
battle, and the name of William Nc
Kinley that great man who guides thi
country's ship of state, and who ha
been for peace through all this strug
gle"
Rev. Mr.. Bateman's remarks wer'
loudly cheered, and he was followed b,
Hon. John II. Fellows, who made
brief address in which he said tina
he was member of the order becaus
his great grandfather was an English
man. Other brief addresses were mad

local favorites. Their coIors went down
in defeat by the score of TO 4. few
minutes play yesterday convinced them
that they were again confronted by a team
who knew their business. who had the
courage that comes from confidence and
that TO beat them would require skill of
high order.

Coach Bradley. and showed up in splendid
shape. He had good control and gave bu;
one base on balls. was credited with SIX
strike outs, had one hit, one put out and
FIVE assists. which was a very satisfactory

hits. one being a three Dagger into deep
left field, which sent run across the plate.
The locals played in their usual good form.
While four errors were charged to them.
there were none OF them expensive. ne
visitors gave them the hardest contest they
have experienced with the college teams,
yet the boys were equal to the emergency
and won easily
The visitors made a determined effort to
score in the first. getting a man as far
around as third base. where he was left.
owing to the fine fielding of the locals.
Their first run was made in the third inn
ing, on Camps drive TO centre. who came
home on Sullivans hit. In the fifth, on
Garvin's hit, Quimby's out, and Burn
wells fielder's choice. they scored another,
and in the seventh. or base on balls, two
hits. and some good base running they &C
cumulated two additional runs. The locals
relieved them of anxiety in the second inn
ing by some good stick work by Goldea.
Smith. White, Moran. and Walsh which
resulted in three runs. This performance
was duplicated in the fourth, cinching the
game.
