BASEBALL,

The Cardinals went to Newport last
Friday and defeated the Newport team
by score of IL to 10. 1t was a slug
ging match, both pitchers getting
bumped hard. The boys were badly
crippled by the loss of both Howard and
Coulombe their twirlers and their
catcher Bishop had to pitch. In the
first three innings he was batted hard
but after that had the home team well
in hand. The feature Of the game was
the remarkable playing of Steady at
short for the Cardinals who accepted ten
chances without an error and went tC
bat six times and secured five safe
drives. Searles played well for New
port and hit hard. The Newports were
very hard losers and had gang of root.

Mr.. Howard chiffon OF the London

The London Bioscope Co. will appear
at Opera house Friday and Saturday,
July 81, and Aug. LIST. The following
is from the St. Johns n. B. Telegraph :
"The initial entertainment of the
London Bioscope Company brought an
overflow audience last night and all were
we'll repaid for their presence. The
moving pictures were undoubtedly the
best ever seen here, and as there was no
flicker or vibration, the portrayal OF
each subject was graphically distinct
Some of the more striking were run
through the finest scenic sections OF
Switzerland, launch of the Leviathan,
Celtic, Santos Dumont's air ship, Boer
War scenes, Naval reviews at Spithead
Mount Pelee eruption with vivid realistic
scenes of the Coronation ceremonies and
the great public pageants attending
them. These were interspersed with
comic subjects which were much enjoy
ed. Mr.. Howard Clifton, the inimitable
versatile entertainer, delighted the house
by his excellent vocal selections, singing
the latest illustrated songs, and his ex-
hibition of musical versatility and ven
triloquism were nothing less than won
derful. Mr.. Clifton has a great gift in
being able to change his voice to almost
innumerable tones, making it possible
to carry on conversation with himself,
which would appear to be conversation
of great many different persons"
There will be grand matinee on Sat
urday Aug. |, at $50. Tickets 20
cents to all parts.
