Saturdays Ball Game.

Many comic posters scattered over our
town last week announced that the Ti-
tusville Baseball club was to have a game
in costume on Saturday afternoon, with a
big parade to come off at $3.50. Promptly
at the hour eighteen men were seen to
emerge from the studio of,H. III. Carpen-
ter, who kindly assisted in the manage
ment of the game.
Some were Indians, some old women,
clowns, negroes, Cinnamon and othercom-
ic 'get-ups." Two by two they filed past
the crowds of people who had lined the
streets to see the fun. down to the base
ball grounds, and there played one of the
best and funniest games of the season.
At the finish of the ninth inning the
best side had won with score of to 5.
The grand stand was packed to its ut
most capacity, and all went home feeling
that they had helped the good cause
along, and had an afternoon of rare fun.
The usual good material that Titusvile
puts up in a baseball game was there,
and the boys are now ready to play any
who may wish to cross bats with them.
Did you notice Manager Penney walk
ing around among the players, giving
words of encouragement now and then?
Simply an old trick of his, that has
helped to keep Titusville from ever losing
a fair-fought game.
'Who was dat swell guy, tall and one
eyed, black as a coal-burner, who led the
parade?" Carpenter, of course. He's
simply walking advertisement. Burt
Johnson is kindly requested to play In
his base ball suit hereafter. What's the
matter, Burt?" Hopkins, Titusvile's fa-
nous pitcher, would throw-then a
''swish" was heard; nothing at all, only
Pierre Titus tanning at the wind. The
''old-time" good playing OF Norwood,
Skinner, Goodwin, Carlile, Morrow, and
lastly, but not least, Lawyer Frost, was
noted by everyone.
Now that the ball is rolling, keep it so.
Titusville people are always ready to help,
and the boys appreciate it, therefore they
want some good team to help them give
their respective communities a treat in
the way of good game.

The Vegetable Season.

Notwithstanding the vegetable season
is now on the wane, there are several car
loads going forward per day. The
falling off in shipments has had ten
dency toward upward prices in the mar
kets, and they will undoubtedly rule
higher from now until the close of the
season. Pines are beginning to go for
ward from the Florida keys, but they are
quite green. The crop is said to be the
largest ever grown there, and of better
quality than usual. The pine crop from
lower Brevard will not be moving in large
quantities until the first to the middle of
June, the season being very backward
this year. The growers expect TO net at
least $500 per crate for the fruit this
season, which is a very satisfactory price,
although very many of the growers of
fancy varieties will net a much higher
figure than the above.

Worlds Richest Soil.

Scientists claim that the soil of the
everglades in Florida is the richest in the
world, and would, if drained, produce
marvellous crops of nearly anything
planted. 1t is proposed to reclaim this
immense tract, which covers nearly 1000
square miles, by building drainage canals
to take off the water, and at the same
time serve as means of transportation
between plantations. Contrary to the
general belief, the everglades are health
fdl, the water is sweet and pure, and
there is almost a total absence of fever
and epidemic diseases.
