 Second Division Last Night-To night
 the Third Will Be in Charge.
 The Second division had charge of the A. o. H. fair in the City hall last night. For a Monday night there was goodly attendance and those who were present heartily enjoyed them selves.
 Tonight the Third division will have control. and will try hard to give the many friends of the order an old fashioned night. There will be songs by Thomas Sullivan, Michael Ryan, John Birney. Mrs Roper and others and and jigs, reels and hornpipes by David Sheehy, Thomas Barry, Timothy Con- nell, William Doyle, Thomas Crean and others. The singers will render the good old songs that our fathers and mothers brought with them from the happy, if persecuted land of mingled sunshine and tears. No songs ever written are so saturated with the quintessence of pathos as the poems and ballads which genuinely reflect the Irish character. These are the songs you will hear tonight if you go to the City hall. And the dancing! We'll, just ask ''Davy'' Sheehy who knows, if the stage in the City hall will not rat tie tonight with the steps of the best breakdown ever imported.
 Lallier's orchestra are furnishing the music for the fair It gets and is deserving of a generous share of ap- plause. F. H. Lewis and company of North Main street are furnishing gratis a piano for the fair.

ONE ARMED AND ONE

Queer Baseball Contest Be

One OF the most unique baseball
ames that has been played al South

yesterday afternoon when the one

supremacy. The former won by hav-
ng the game forfeited TO them at the
end of the sixth inning with the score
TO 9. The one-lcgged team became
tired OF hustling their artificial anato-
my about the field and stopped.
There was a dispute regarding the
forfeit. the one-legged team claiming
they understood the game was to be
but 1--WE innings long. They did not
make any attempt 60 stop az the close
of the fifth inning. but when the fell

runs. they hecame very weary and
would not take their bats at the open-
ing of the seventh inning.
The teams were evenly matched and
but few errors were made considering
their inhrmities. laqes
II was an odd sight TO see the teams
taking their positions at the opening
OF an inning. Some Of the one-arrned
team had their right hands and other-
their left, and the one-leggcd team
hobhled 10 their places, but they We're
spry.
"Martie' McDonough was the sprint
er OF the one-legged team. With his
stump leg he made a home run that
brought forth applause. Jack" Carri-
gan made a stop that many a pitcher
would not have attempted. Pat" cav
anaugh was struck on the wooden leg
with a bah while at bat. This raised
a wranglo. The one-armed men thought
he put IL out on purpose. Constable
