continued happiness. Mr.. Berger is
employed by Emil Bogaert, the express

Ball Park Not compIeted.-It seems
hardly probable that the new ball park
will be ready to be opened next Sun
day, as was planned There was some
talk of opening it last Sunday, but it
was plainly seen the latter part of the
week that it could not be in shape, and
from all appearances it will not be
completed by next Sunday. The ball
diamond is not properly located, and
/ as new diamond will have to be
made, it will require some little time.
The sod will have to be removed, and
this cannot be done on short notice.
The Odd Fellows and X. C.'s will play
ball at the opening.

Hence Tuesday afternoon while rowing
between Watertown and Campbells
Island, where they were spending the

were returning when the accident hap
Ipened They had got out in about the
middle of the stream, when Gust East
berg, in attempting to move from one
lpart of the boat to another, Overbal-
lanced the skiff and they were all pre-
cipitated into the water. Fortunately
all are good swimmers and they reach
, ed the shore without much trouble.
