greeted by large congregations. Mr..
Van TObel is a man just in his prime
and is a preacher of ability and elo-
quence. His sermons today are spoken
of in the highest terms by nearly every
one, and as Mr.. VanTobel came here as

One of Attorney +. c. Lofts fine
horses became frightened by the pre-
mature explosion of a large fire crack
er on Friday and ran away. Starting
on Lincoln avenue near the baseball
grounds the horse pursued it's mad
course through lots and woods, down
to the farm house of Asa p. Scott,
where it was stopped, and as it had
been severely cut and torn by coming
into violent contact with a barbed
wire fence, DR.. T.. Il. Tower, veterinary
surgeon, was hurriedly summoned and
he gave the injured animal the requis-
ite surgical attention. The wounds
We're of a very painful nature and
large artery was laid bare but just es-
capped rupture, and had 1t not escaped
the horse would have died from loss
of blood, in very few minutes, as the
artery was a large one and located in
close proximity to the heart. The horse
is now improving, but it's promising
career as racer has been brought to
an untimely close. at least that is the
Judgment of some Of our competent To-
cal horsemen.

The best game of baseball that has
been witnessed in Montrose this sea-
son was played here Friday afternoon
between the Binghamton Central High
school nine from Binghamton. and our
home nine. The game was close
throughout and sparkled with many
brilliant plays on both sides. The at
tendance was large and the best of Or
der prevailed. In the ninth inning the
score was made a tie and the excite
ment was intense, but the game closed
with score of ST in favor of Montrose.
Smith and Curran, Montrose's famous
battery, won added laurels by the splen-
did work which they conducted over
the home plate. The excellence of the
game will insure an unusually large at
tendance at the game between Susque-
hanna and Montrose which Will be
played in this place on Tuesday next,
July /.
