The Livingston home coming OF
Aug. 8 and 9 is a thing Of the past,
but it has left many pleasant MEM
cries in the hearts Of those who
were fortunate enough to attend
To Lancaster fans, especially, It
was a source of unbounded JOY and
good feeling, wearing off the
haggard look of the Office man,
smoothing the wrinkles of age and
iraparting to each and every one OF
them an enthusiasm so genuine
and contagious that many OF our
old friends were drawn into the
current of applause that predomin-
ated turnout the entire assemblage
or over three thousand people.
And why? Because our base ball
team carried of the hOnOrs in two
good games of base ball, as is shown
below.
NCASTER-LINDEN GAME.
In spite of the drenching RAIN
that fell until late in the afternoon,
a big crowd came out Thursday to
see the game. A heavy, wet dia-
mond made it hard work for both
teams but they played to win and
furnished a fine exhibition Of the
National sport. Max Smith was in
the box for Linden and did splendid
work. He fields his position as
well as any pitcher can, and is
especially good on hunts. Ten hits
were bagged from his delivery
while Henkel let them down with
eight. Tt took ''Hink" about five
innings to warm up and then two
little singles served as their por-
ton. He played his old trick of
letting man get on third and then
strike out the batter. The final re-
suit 5 to 0 in our favor, can be east
w understood from the table below.

LANCASTER HIGHLAND CAME.

LANCASTER HIGHLAND CAME.
Considered bic interest was mani
tested IN this game Friday morning
for several reasons, chief among
which, however, was the fact that
Highland held a reputation of late
years as a winning team and second
-, the fact that IN their line
up then were three Of our former
Lancaster players, two Of whom, it
seems would rather play for glory
than money"
The Highland team came upon
the field clad IN pretty grey suits,
led by the Normal Band with
Noisy" Tom Kennedy bringing up
the rear, grinning and prancing like
Z chimpanzee and carrying a pan
full OF old cans and pals. Well,
after the game, someone kindly
threw the cans away or some Of
them might have been tiled"
The game opened with Lancaster
at the bat. For the first two inn
ings neither side did anything. In
the third with one man out Foster
reached first on an error by Grundy.

scored on Piddington's two Dagger

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.

The Negroes of Nashville are con-
tributing their part to make the city
beautiful This is certainly true if
one should judge by the scores of beau
tiful homes recently erected and still
IN course of construction, to be owned
and inhabited by Negroes. Greater
Nashville cannot be Greater Nashville
unless every citizen feels it his indis-
pensable duty to contribute, as a COM
mite of one, to its success. The re-
cent purchases of real estate by men,
bers of the race is evidence beyond the
shadow of a doubt that in the city of
Nashville within the next two years
will be found more homes owned by
the citizens Of color than any other
city. Indeed without any attempt at
Boosting, it has its share already and
continues to add to the long list with
slow but steady pace. Within the
past twelve months over $4,000 worth
of homes have been erected This is
confined to no particular locality or
section of the city, but to the contrary
like the many hills that make Nash
vile. characteristic. these homes have
been built and are still being built
The onward march continues.
