IN SOCIETY,"

A delightful dan ce given Mon day evening by Misses Kathryn and Rina Price in honor of their friend and visitor, Miss Ruby Fowlkes of Palmer, Mo-, was a delightful social affair, and can certainly be classed among the most elegantly planned social events ever given in this city.
 The Price home on Laurel, which is one of the handsomest in Newport, never looked better, and with it's brilliantly lighted rooms with their hardwood floors, made an ideal place for dancing.
 The we'll kept lawn with it's comfortable seats placed at in- tervals furnished cool retreats after dancing, and on which de- lightful ice cream and cake were

PORTLAND FAIR
 DRAWS WELL.
Nearly 100000 Admissions The First Week, With an Aver age of 10,608 Daily, Ex-
 elusive of Opening
 Days Crowd.

Portland, June 20. Usually an exposition is disappointed dur ing it's early days by reason of an attendance falling far below ex- pectations, but this is not the case with the Lewis and Clark Exposition. During the first week the admissions were 99, ,275. These included the remarkably large attendance of 39, ,577 on the opening day. But the average for the first week, exclusive of opening day, was 10,608. This is considered remarkable, in view of the general tendency of the public to wait several weeks after the opening of a fair, on the presumption that there will be more to see later.
 The Portland Fair will run 137 days, or until October 15. Ex- pert guessers, before the open ing, figured that the total at tendance would be from 1,000,- 900 to 1,500,000. Even if the daily average does not exceed that of the first week, the attend and will be little short of a mill ion and a half-the highest fig ure set by the guessers.
 But as the exposition progress es the crowds are sure to in- crease. This is the history of all expositions. Every day there is some special event, and during the season there are a number of such events which will more than double the ordinary attend ance. The exposition manage ment is highly gratifed at the suspicious start already made.

HARVARD BEAT TIGERS.
Princeton's Costly Errors and Poor
Team Work

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. May 20.-The Har-
ward base ball nine defeated Princeton on
Soldiers Field today by the score of 6 to 1.
Princeton's two costly errors, poor team
work and the ineffectiveness of Byram tells
briefly the cause of the defeat.
Spectators and players were made I'M
comfortable by the cold wind which blew
across the field. The Princeton battery did
not work well together, and with four
scattered hits off Coburn Harvard was
never in danger of losing the lead secured
In the first inning.
small group of Princeton students
cheered necessarily during the last two in
nngs for the batting rally which on so
many occasions had turned seeming defeat
into a Princeton victory, but the team did
not respond and Cooney ended the game by
batting into double play.
Byram worked hard, but the hits made
off him We're not only we'll punched, but
were coupled with errors when men were
on bases
Harvard took a commanding lead in the
first inning. Reid and Helm struck out in
the first half and Wells sent a long fly to
right field, retiring the side Byram hit the
first Harvard man up and then passed
Leonard to first Randall hunted and Mahar
was caught at third Matthews hit to right
field Doyle misjudged the hit and the ball
rolled toward the stadium and Leonard,
Randall and Matthews raced home. Har-
ward added two more to her score in the
third. Randall given base on balls
and Stephenson hit sharply to light field,
sending Randall to third. Randall scored
on Copney's attempt to catch Stephenson
at second.
An error, which gave run to Harvard,
made on Kernans fly to right. Doyle
dropped the ball and Stephenson scored.
In the fifth ,Coburn passed Cooney to first.
Forsythe flied out to Bradbury and Bard
hit to second forcing Cooney. Byram fol-
lowed with a two-base hit sending in Bard
with the run which saved Princeton from
a shut-out
Harvard scored one more run in the
eighth. Matthews hit through Reid for
three bases. Stephenson hit to Bard, who
threw the ball for the home plate 1t hit
Stephenson on the head and bounded to the
fence. Matthews scored before Cooney
could recover the ball.

COMMISSIONERS WON.
Defeated Georgetown Reserves in Ex-
citing Contest

In a closely contested game the Commits
sioners continued their victorious march
yesterday and defeated the Georgetown
Reserves. The game was an extremely in
teresting and exciting one throughout, and
the small crowd in attendance saw a great
article of ball.
The defeat of the youngsters was due to
the twirling of Cantwell. who pitched
faultless game for the Commissioners.
Three hits We're made off of his delivery in
the full nine innings, and an even dozen
times he succeeded in tanning the George
town StickCrS.
Captain Simon's work in the box for the
Reserves must not be overlooked, as he
pitched good steady ball throughout. He
gave only two bases during the contest,
and the famed sluggerS of the Commission
ers only got seven hits off his delivery.
Only one man on each team reached first
base during the first three innings, but in
the fourth the youngsters went in and took
two This inspired the Commissioners and
they netted five runs in the fifth out OF
single. double and three-bagger. Again
the system of goose eggs was set a-golnS
They lasted until the eighth, when a hit
and an error gave the Commissioners an
other run. The Reserves then thought OF
scoring With one down, Curry and Car
roll singled and then worked off double
steal. 1t looked like scoring, but the next
two men went out easily.
The fielding for the Commissioners, what
there was of it, was good, while the field
ing for the Reserves was at times fast ana
clean All hands praised the work of Ma
honey Fleming and George, between the
three of whom twenty-seven chances were
accepted without single error.

Maloney the center fielder of the Chi
Cages, made two catches yesterday after
noon more suggestive of the kind that
Jim McAleer used to make than any
that have been pulled down at the Polo
Ground for years. He gathered the ball
once when Mertes hit it with his left hand.
He was going at full speed when he did so
and was far over in Schultes territory. He
was fully extended, and If he had dropped
the ball 1t would only have been what was
generally anticipated. Schultz seemed to
be dazed by the apparition streaking across
the field and did not even make an effort
to back Maloney up. Later the center
fielder ran back almost to the ropes and
beat Mccain out of a home run. The ball
sailed high In the air and he was able to
get under it. Had the hit been a little lower
the chances are that Mccain would have
had -four sacker."-New York Telegram.

WILMINGTON, Del. May 2O.-The
Georgetown University Club lost TO the

Southside Park this afternoon by a score er
s to 1.
Aside from the fact that the collegians

double by Morgan in the fourth and triple
by Hart, after two men were out, in the
ninth, being their sum total they made err
rors at critical times particularly McGet-
tigan at short and Scheller at second base.
The umpire, Mr.. Gard, who was a new
man here, gave the visitors the worst of it
on balls and strikes. Some of his decis-
ions, in fact, were SO unfair that the spec
tators hooted and actually sided with the
Georgetown nine. The weather was blus-
terry and regular gale was blowing across
the field from the Christiana river. The
sun shone brightly, however, and this made
conditions more bearable.
Both sides were out in quick order until

low throw by the same visiting player to

This ended the run getting on both sides.
