BASE BALL

The most interesting game of base ball
played here SO far this season took place
last Saturday at the County Fair Grounds
between the Bel Air and VanBibber
teams, which resulted in victory for the
former by the score of Is to 2. Both
teams seemed confident of winning and
had taken special pains to strengthen the
various positions on the field and an cx-
citing contest was looked for by the large
number Of spectators present, but they
were disappointed in this. 1t required
but two or three innings to demonstrate
the fact that the FanBibber boys would
not be in the game at all, for the home
team began piling up runs from the out.
set. Mckay pitched for the visitors, and
notwithstanding the fact that he has
proven effective against other teams this
season, was hammered at will by the Bel
Air boys in a manner that sent gladness
to the hearts of the local enthusiasts. He
was replaced in the box by Hughes in the
fifth inning, who did much better, even
though several hits were made off his de-
livery. The VanBibber team fought
boldly to stem the tide and make some
good plays, but were unable to make any
progress against the superb pitching of
Richardson, who seemed to be pitching
the game of his life. and in return received
excellent support. a pleasing feature of
the games played here this season has
been the heavy batting by the home
team, there being a total of nineteen hits
made in thc game Saturday, while the
visitors made but five. The batting of
Alfred Richardson, Hanway, Reckord and
White, and the fielding of Broumel, Rcck-
ord, Bowling and Carroll for Bel Air de-
serve special mention, while for VanBib-
Der, Howard Price, Mechlem, Sullivan
and "Dutchy" Hughes did good work.
The makeup of the teams was as follows:
Bel Aria. Richardson C; C. Richardson,

PAYMENT OF AN OLD CLAIM.

The present Congress has passed bill
appropriatiug $5,233 to pay the French
Spoliation claim of Frederick Delaporte,
who died in this county in the year 1897.
Mr.. Delaporte owned what is known
as the Watson farm, situated near Falls
ton, where he died and was buried.
In the year 1895 Mr.. Delaporte, who
was of French extraction, was the owner
of the ship Jenny" of which Hugh Lyle,
an American, was captain. This vessel
was of 100 tons burthen and was worth
$11, 900. On April 14th, 1895, the
Jenny" started from Baltimore for
Kingston, Jamaica, laden with a cargo
owned jointly by Buchanan and Young
and Massey and James, American citizens.
During this voyage, when near Cape
Dame Marie, and Cape Theron, the vessel
was seized and captured by Captain
| Julian Oliveau in the French privateer
''Le Scipion" and carried to the port o
Petit Guave and thence to Gonaives, the
Jenny" being i'll charge of prize crew
of Frenchmen.
The vessel and cargo were total los

treaty between France and the Unitet
States, this government assumed the pay

however, have been paid until very re
