ducah Mattress %. has the contract
for furnishing cushions at Wallace bali
park and yesterday had $50 on the
grounds. They are hair stuffed aud by
far the best ever seen here. They are
rented for cents each and may be
procured hereafter on entrance to the
park. Mr.. Reed will contract with
the Cairo management to sell them
several hundred similar cushions. The
contract will probably be closed this

II could not be said of yesterdays
game that dumb ball playing" lost
for Cairo. Cairo lost not through bad
playing, but failure to find" Brahic,
the plucky little Paduoah boy. Brahic
yielded only three hits, q remarkable
showing. It was too bad the only
error made scored the only run &C.
corded to Cairo. Brahic cannot be
complimented too highly for yester-
days work. Freeman has peculiar,
invinoible upsboot ball. but 1t is said
Of Brshio that his balls are just %
effective.

The boys are playing excellent ball
now and hope to return home with
