10 innings to decide the game and Bur

and Burlington base base ball teams gave
a good exhibit on Neither club scored
until the fifth inning, when Burlington
GOT a run. and scored three more in the
sixth. when an error in the field, aided by
timely hits, put them in the lead. Bristol
was unable to score and the game closed
q to O in favor of Burlington. There were
interesting exercises down town while the
ball game was in progress but that did
not prevent large attendance, and Man
ager Atkinson realized fair profit. The
Bristol people came out in force to shout
for their favorites. Some of them imbibed
more than was good for them and there
were some fights on the ground, always
between Bristol people. The disturbers
of the peace were promptly e]ected from
the grounds where they could continue
fighting to their satisfaction.
The game of base ball at the Fair
Grounds, on Thursday, was enjoyed by
large number of persons, fully one-half
the people on the grounds going to the
centre of the ring when the game began.
The contest was one-sided. Bob Black
brought up a strong aggregation, and had
no difficulty in downing the picked,
nine that met him. The spectators did
not have any accommodations, the grand
stand and bleachers formerly at their dis
posal having been sold and removed. Still
there were many who preferred to stand
rather than to miss ball game. The par
aphernalia of the home team was also
varied. The suits were like Joseph's coat,
''of many colors, while the bases were
relics of bygone days. The home plate
was an article showing the inventive trend
of a single man, who sawed the plate out
of the seat of chair, giving it coat OF
whitewash to make it discernible. Bob
Black had good team with him, several
faces familiar to the base ball people OF
Mount Holly being seen. His pitcher was
young fellow just home from the Pnll-
ippines and he had the other fellows guess.
ing. The score was IA to in favor OF
| Black s team.
