infant department, and consisted Of songs
and recitations by the wee ones. and
though their lisping words were not
always heard by the audience, the man
ner, style and beautiful apparel of the
youthful performers were by no means
lost.
The decorations were beautiful, con-
sisting of potted plants, cut flowers, mag
nolias and daisies.
The chorus singing by the school was
spirited, and the NJ. E. Sunday School
Orchestra was at its best, rendering
many very pretty selections, and suIerin-
tendent A. G. Cox has reason to be proud
over the excellent showing the Sunday

BASE BALL
You Cannot Afford to Miss Mondays Game
on West Green Street
BsNEDIeTs VS.. BACHELORS.

The game of base ball to be played on
the local grounds on West Green street
next Monday afternoon between the ben
edicts and bachelors, promises to be one
of the most interesting games ever played
| in the State The teams are composed OF
the best professional and business men OF
our town, and the fans will have an op-
portunity to see the "stars" handle the
spear in a professional manner. Both
| teams are sure of coming out victorious
and the Managers are working their men
out in order to have them in the best of
form for the engagement
Our enterprising groceryman Mr.. H..
G. Devalinger will be in the box for the
benedicts, and promises to shoot them
over the rubber in manner that will put
the slow bachelors to fight. Mr. Frank
S. Clayton will do the twirling for the
bachelors and with his ms and outs
hopes to dazzle the eyes of his opponents
throughout the engagement. He will be
ably supported behind the bat by Mr..
Albert Massey, who on previous occa-
sions has delighted the fans by his bril-
liant playing.
Mr.. R. L. Naudain, one of the old
Mutual players, will assist in the pitch
ing for the benedicts and will greatly
strengthen their team. Mr.. Naudain in
game at New Castle some years ago,
scored six runs out of six times at bat,
and he will doubtless solve some of
bachelor Clayton's curves. He is one of
the oldest ball players in this section,
but owing to an accident at Townsend
some fifteen years ago, in which he had
an arm broken, was compelled to retire
from the diamond.
DIR. C. A. Ritchie will be found in left
field, and will quickly render all medical
aid necessary, and as he is an old player,
he will doubtless come well equipped with
bandages, witch-hazel, arnice, etc.
Judge William r. Reynolds has con-
sented to act as umpire and his decisions
will be watched very closely by the bach
elors, who would doubtless prefer bach
elor to preform this task.
Col. George w. Ingram will act as
official scorer, and has been requested to
brighten up his nose glases in order that
he may see all errors, and to assist the
umpire in case of any disorder.
The teams will be composed of the fol-
lowing players, and on request of the
players, several substitutes have been
added to the list:
