and was contested in spirited man
ner. The final score was 14-1s in
favor of the Leans" The gross pro-
ceeds amounted to about $50, which
was given TO the treasurer of regular
team. Although the players had had
practically no practice several of
them showed by their work that when
in practice they were excellent play
ers.
The "event of the season" will be
the chow on Wednesday, Aug. 10, by
the Sautelle circus. Exhibitions will
be given both afternoon and evening.
The press speaks very highly of this
show in various towns where it has
been given. Mr.. Sautelle is we'll
known in the amusement world, hav-
ing been constantly before the public
for seventeen years. He began, as
did many of Americas most success
full men, with a scarcity of capital,
but a great amount of characteristic
Yankee grit and firm determination
to succeed. Primarily, his outfit con-
sisted of a pigmy tent, few horses,
wagons, performers, trained dogs and
clown. He gained reputation for
exhibiting what he advertised and his
show at once found warm place in
the hearts of an honest and discrim-
mating and ap preciative public. Don't
forget the day and date and don't
miss seeing the magnificent free street
spectacle even if you do not tend
the performance.
We copy the following article from
the Worcester Daily Telegram. 1t re-
lates to the diving horses which are
among the special attractions at the
fair this fall:
The diving horses, King and Queen,
which are at the lake for the week,
gave their first performance yester-
day afternoon at 5:15 and if anything
it was bevond expectations. The ami
mails, King and Queen, are almost
snow white, are singularIy intelligent,
and seem to enjoy the plunge from the
high tower into the open lake, and the
swim back to the landing built for
| them. Their beauty won for them the
| greatest admiration from the audi
ence. King was led to the landing
stage, where his mate Queen could see
him. The mare then went up the long
shute composedly and with an air Of
ease that led the people to understand
that she enjoyed the work. When
| Queen arrived at the top of the shute,
~ feet above the water, she slowly
placed her forefeet on little shelf
below the platform, and, lowering her
head, launched out into space far
enough to clear the platform. She
struck the water head first and disap-
peared below the surface In a mo-
ment she rose and began swimming
toward the landing stage, where King
was standing. Kings dive was, if
anything, even prettier than Qaeep's.
KING dived almost straight out into
the air, and when descending, inclines
his head. His feet are all spread out
and when he strikes, he sends up a
mountain of water. The work of the
horses is done without any suggestion
| of force, and is at the animals own
volition, except for few words of
encouragement from Prof. Holloway,
who trained them.
The home team lost to Newport
Friday in close and exciting game.
The visitors obtained good lead in
the early part but the home team
played hard and by some good hit
ting tied the score in the seventh,
only to lose the lead and the game in
the eighth on errors. Jenness was
bothered with sore arm and retired
at the end of the third inning
in favor of Suitor, who after
his first inning in the box pitched
finely, not allowing a hit in the last
five innings. For the home team the
three double plays, the fielding of R
Webster and Jenness, and the hit
ting of Guild, Homer Hitchcock
and Ray Webster were features
For the visitors Doyle caught nice
game. Searles made a great catch
back of second and Laline had ar
exceptionally fine record at first, &C.
cepting nineteen chances without ar
error, while Steady at short play el
in good form. The best hitting wal
contributed by Williams, Doyle anG
Steady.
