he Temple of Fame.

An entertainment titled as above was
given at the city ball Thursday and Fri
day evenings last under the auspices of
st. Agnes Guild of Trinity church and
by direction of Mrs. Anne Hooking
Smith. The attendance each evening
was exceptionally large and to everyone
attending it proved delightful.
About seventy-five of the young lad
les and gentlemen Of our city were call
ed into service, and right well did each
one perform. Splendid talent was I'M
covered, especially among the young
ladies. To make personal mention. how
ever, and give proper credit would be
next to impossible.
The first evening the 'Iaurel wreath
was awarded Mrs, Otto Gilman, who
impersonated Mother Superior. and
Miss Temperance Knight, who imper-
sonated Queen Zenobia, the honorary
prize, silver cup. The second evening
Miss Eunice Blewett Joan of hrc) was
crowned with the wreath" and Miss
Lena Gilman martha Washington
was presented with beautiful silver
spoon as honorary prize. The judges
were non-residents.
To the director and the ladies of the
Guild special credit is certainly due for
their untiring efforts in arranging for
and perfecting such pleasing enter
tainment.

Baseball Situation Facing
Davenport.
RUMORS WORKING OVERTIME
Snapper Kennedy, it is Said, Wants to
Dispose of Park, Having Bought
One at ST. ice.

The prospects of Davenport having
organized baseball next year seem to
be growing brighter, but the situation
more complicated, at the same time.
The Central Association requested that
the city be reserved for it, but it APP

this presented to the national board,

e. Justice. president of the Iowa
league, has written letter to NJ. H.
Sexton of this city explaining his posi-
ton in the matter He confirmed the
report as to the asking for the reser-
walton of the territory, and claimed
that he has had assurances from the
baseball fans of the city that they were
in favor of admission to the Iowa
league rather than to the Three-Eye,
which they considered little too
classy for the city Mr.. Sexton, how
ever, has talked with the baseball fra
ternity of the neighboring city, and
| finds that the sentiment there is rath-
er for a berth in the Three-Eye.
Kennedy Gets Cold Feet.
1t seems, too, that Snapper Kennedy
| has not met with all the support he
| expected in Davenport, as he has
| leased another park, and is now trying
to get rid of the Davenport grounds.
He has secured the ball park and all
| its improvements at St. Joseph Mo-.
and is making earnest efforts to break
into the Western league. That league
has been a six club league in past
seasons and agitation is now going on
to make an eight club league of it

Davenport rather complicated one
