iCony Celebrates Victory Over Their
Down River Rivals.

day afternoon on the Reuel Williams

Of July.

to for long time, and it will be, with
out doubt, long time before it is for
gotten. The Cony boys have been read
ing the little jokes in the Gardiner To-
Gals of the Journal which related to
the way that Gardiner was going to
win this game. They did not reply to
these notices, but waited until they
met the Gardiner players on the field.

things in respect to ball playing.
