Edward p. Clam.

Many friends in town will learn with
regret of the death in Montague,
Mass. Wednesday of Edward p Clapp,
better known as Ned Clapp, one of
the best bandmasters that New En-
gland has seen in years, vieing with
the deceased Reeves of the Providence,
r. l. band, which bore his name,
fully capable of the conductorship of
the famous Colts band in Hartford.
the Second Regiment band of New Ha-
ven or the Wheeler & Wilson band of
Bridgeport. Yet he confined himself
to smaller organizations. Perhaps his
best work was done as leader of the
Germania band of Pittsfeld. Mass.
He also led band at North Adams
ard another in New Jersey town. He
was regarded as an exceptional man to
lead his men. and it was considered
treat to follow his organization down
the streets even in muddy weather.
The inspiration which he put into an
old familiar march like the Second
would make a musical
citizen keep step barefoot.

WHEEL CLUB BEAT UNIONS.
Game Was Close to Begin With But the I'm
ions Went Up in the Air.

"Dan" Mccormick umpired that
game Saturday afternoon between the
Wheel club and the Catholic Unions
1t was pretty good ball, and clean cut,
save for a wholesale rattle almost at
the very beginning. The Unions scored
three in the first inning and there were
blanks until the fourth, then the Wheel
club got in four, assisted by one hit
and only just seven errors The rest of
the Wheel clubs tallies were made on
scattering errors. The Wheel club
played an errorless game, save for one
mishap that was questionable.
The hitting of Cox was feature he
got in two two-baggers, and his pitch
ing and that of Ellis was very effective
as the score shows. The Unions made
three beautiful double plays, else the
score of their opponents would have
been bigger. Quinland of Northfield
was on first for the Unions, playing his
first game here, and he covered the bag
in good shape.
