 The first baseball game of the season here was played on the local grounds at Riverside on Saturday, the 23d, the Bronchos'' of Botsford and the South Britain "Percherons. The game was close and exciting throughout and end ed in a victory for the "PercherOnS' by a score of to '. The local team played heavy batting game but field ed rather poorly, making three errors in one,inning. The 'BrOnchOS" played d good game in the field but baked at running bases and kicked without pro- vocation. They were assisted through out by one of Manager Gordon's colts, game in the field and kicked hard and high on all occasions. In the last halt of the ninth inning the "Bronchos' broke from the ring and disappeared in a cloud of dust, which caused some of the old farmers to think a cyclone had passed up the valley. The be- haviOr of the visitors reminds one very much of the little girl who said, "If you won't give me all I want, I'll take my dishes and my doll and go home. J A Baseball Crank.

Many tobacco growers have plants so far advanced that setting will be a necessity very soon: A few have be- gun, but all who can are awaiting more favorable conditions. With the ground as dry as ashes and surface tenn noon the prospect is not encouraging. Some have lost nearly all their plants in the beds; others a good proportion. But fewI have their usual success in this line. But little ground is yet ready, as many are too dry to blow. Grass is drying up in many fields and planted crops make slow growth.
