Theme Of Discussion.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
Yesterdays meeting of the Woman's
club was in charge Of Mrs. A. M.
Crawford and was one of the most in
teresting yet held this season. The
last act of Macbeth" was the Shake
sperean subject studied, the reading
being prefaced by some remarks by
the leader, who gave the substance of
the play up to Act v. The humor as
exhibited in the play, as well as the
tragedy received attention. An inter
csting discussion followed the study
of the last act Of the play.
The life of Rubens, the great Elem
ish painter, was presented in two di-
visions. His early life, his education
and his artistic training we're given
by Mrs. John Rixon. She also describ-
ed his home life in his old age, and
said while -Rubens was not a soul
painter, his habits of industry, vivid
imagination, good taste and influence
for good, have been a potent power in
the art world"
Mrs. S. Panton described in an in
teresting manner his diplomatic life
and his famous visit to the courts Of
Italy.
The art chat was in charge of Miss
earns, who read a carefully prepared
paper on the loves, or sweethearts Of
the old masters, and the many Ven
uses painted by them. AS each o.
these was described, a copy of the
painting was shown, which made the
thoughts presented doubly effective.

SATURDAYS BALL GAME.
THE SCORE TIED.

l Those who were present at Satur days ball game saw one of the greates
 up hill games ever played by lOca
 team, on local grounds, and the trutf remains that the NewtOwn Baseball l Associations team never knows Wher | it is beaten.
 With the score 9 to o at the begin ming the fifth inning in favor of Shel- ton, the local team with grim determl- game or tie the score, and by tremen- dous batting and careful playing they succeeded in tying the score at the end of the ninth inning.
 The Sheltons in the third and fourth innings, by couple of we'll placed base hit and an elegant bunch of errors upon the part of the NewtOwn field CTS, scored five runs in the third and four runs in the fourth inning, while Newtown drew blank, a big lead to overcome, no doubt. At the beginning If to II in favor of Shelton. Shelton did not score in their half, and New town with three runs to make to tie the score and four runs to win, started the ball rolling. They batted out the necessary three runs to tie; the fourth man, A. Schieke, reached first safely andI the fifth man, l. Haugh, then batted hot grOunder between second and fourth. He reached first safely by at least three feet, but for some reason or other the umpire de- clared Ihim out, and the game ended with the score.a tie at 14 to IA.
 the Shelton players had to catch the train at 6:3O, it would not give the necessary time to play the 10th in- ming, and the umpire, by the mutual consent of both teams, declared the game tie.
 It is hoped that another game can be arranged between those two teams. With one game won by a score of eight to seven, and the second one tie, no doubt large crowd would be present to witness third. The man. to arrange such game in order to settle the matter for once and all, as to which is the stronger team.
