Value of Sea Girt Meeting.
Taking the Sea Girt meeting all in all it
has been of the utmost value. The bring
ing together of the militia from the va
rious states and the different branches of
the regular service, and the shaking hands
across the continent and exchanging
methods and suggestions cannot help but
make for the good of the whole. The
general scores have been advanced over
those of the year before, but next year,
an account of the experience and the in
formation gained at Sea Girt and the eX-
ira practice. will undoubtedly result in
higher scores being made all along the
line.
The regular service officials. as we'll as
the militia officers and the manufacturers
of arms and ammunition, all must feel
that the meeting has been great and
good one for all have reaped satisfactory
results and all will now devote time and
energy toward making the next meeting,
whatever it may be, greater success
than ever. =. F. u

Washingtons dropped the first game of
the series here yesterday with the local
team, which took the place of Paterson

crowd by score Of to 3.

First Victory for Interior.

By defeating the Aggies yesterday the
Interior boys won their first game of the
season.
The Interior lads punched their hits in
two innings. which accounts for their easy
victory. The Farmers played a good
fielding game, making but one error. but
Fields could not keep the hits scattered
Nine .bingies were swatted off his de-
livery. and out of this number three sue
cessive doubles were made Rohrman
pitched very consistent game for the
winners, allowing six hits, but these were
made moderately and hardly had any
bearing on the score. Interior had four
miscues chalked Up against them. while
the Ags!es fell down on but one. so it is
plain that good batting turned the trick
Saunders and Barnhart put up the
clever fielding for their teams.
