 Mir. W. 4. Wood, Manager oi Southern Compress Company, oi this city, authorizes us to say tc those who may attend the 4th of July celebration here, that should it rain on that day. the large Com press shed IS at the service of the crowd. and that there is ample room for all who my come, to keep dry; and. also, room for the table should 1t become necessary.
 The first match game of bal, be- tween Monticello and Hamburg took place at the Ball Park in this city, on last Tuesday evening Our boys were not at their best, and two or three of their best players were absent, hence the visitors won an easy victory at d score of II to 0.

 Umpire, Pat Henry.
 It is getting so, in these days of athletic Sport, that town without first class ball team isnot worth mentioning. Hamburg aud Warren have made up from SI 500, to g. 900, each to promote the game in their towns. Monticello has good amateur team. and if our people would help the boys out a little there would be something doing in the way of ..playing fast ball here.
 Don't be knocSer' is card buttonmotto being worn by some of our people. In one sense this is all right, but in another 1t Is not so appropriate. The right Kind of q "KnocKer" is worth his weight in gold. We have some people that not only needs "knocking" but they need kicking out, They new CT do q single, solitary thing for the town, never give thought for anything save selt and self alone. Such people are a ::nuisance.
 As am again handling ice, I wish to say to my friends and the public in general that 1t is my in- tention to do strictly legitimate business. I do not want and shall not try to run anybody else out of business. 1 have no ice to give a way as the ice king advertises. at least not in SeptemberI will pro bab1y have large amount for free distribution about January or Feb ruary. My price to the trade is 4oe and I will endea1or to give you prompt and satisfactory service i'll every respect.

WORLDS SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP IS

Arnst. known tbroushout the antipodes
as the thousand winner" which
took place on the Parramatta river
Saturday. Aug. 1. have been received
and show that Arnst came up to the
expectations OF his hackers and won
easily. The race excited much atteu-
ton In all rowing circles owing TO the
rapid rise Of Arnst. who is hailed as
the coming champion OF the world.
After the scullers passed into the
second mile OF the race Arnst overhaul
ed tho leader and won as he liked.
After the race such Judges of rowing
as James Stanbury and Bill Beach said
IL WAS only n question OF time before
Arnst Will win the highest honors in
the rowing world. He In matched TO
row champion Webb. who beat Towns
for the title.
Arnst earned the title thousand win

race, the biggest wheeling event that
was ever held In Australia, and II was
the grit and pluck displayed by him In
that race that caused the rowing pro-
moters to get him into the sculling
game. He never had any experience,

The release OF Catcher Schreck TO
Chicago develops a peculiar condition,
illustrative OF the management OF Mr..
Mack.
II had asked for waivers on
Schreck three times" said he. "and
no club wanted him. Four days ago
asked the fourth time and Chicago
put in a claim. That was all there
was to it,
Reading between the lines IL Is
obvious that Mr.. Mack cut loose his
rd-hitting IL erratic backstop just at
a time when another club was In such
straits that IL would pay the money
for his release. In all probability the
waiver price was something more than
Mr. Mack could have secured, had he
been forced TO unload Schreck on some
minor-league club.
