The Society Misses Minstrels
was produced at the Opera
House Tuesday night before a
fair-sized audience under the di-
rection of Mr.. and Mrs. Nat
High. The performance was a
very creditable one considering
the short time in which those
that took part had to practice.
The singing of the young ladies
was exceptionally good. This
event tends to show that there
is good home talent here for
plays, etc, and we sincerely hope
that we shall have plenty them
the coming season.

WinsIow TeamLoses Two
Games to Prescott.
WinslOw WOn22, Lost 2, Percent 917

In series of three games at
Prescott Saturday, the Wlnslow
team lost two games to the Pres
colt Grays.
This is the first time this sea-
son that our boys have been
handed the little end of the score,
and the same can be attributed
to various causes Never once
did the boys fail to play good
ball, and the series at Prescott is
acknowledged to be the best Wit
messed on their diamond this
season.
Here are a few boquets handed
our team by The Prescott Jour
nal-Miner:
"Bazell is the best pitcher that
has shown up here this season,
and with him in the box and the
cricket-like Chatfield behind the
bat. it is doubt ful if the Grays as
at present constituted can take
their measure.
The Phoenix Republican says:
"A. w Edwards of Prescott
who was in the city yesterday
stated that the contest between
the WinslOw Railroaders and the
Prescott Grays last Saturday
and Sunday were the best three
games OF the summer.
The Sunday morning game
was close and exciting, Baca,
tossing a fine game for Winslow.
But 1T was not till Sunday after
noon when the banner crowd
was out, that Winslow disclosed
the big hoodoo they had up their
sleeves. There was a feeling pre-
yaltnt before the contest as to
what the Prescott Gravs were
up against in the person of one
my sterious magician and pro-
fessor of baseball legerdemain.
Prof. Bazell, who mixes the most
elusive benders that has ever
been offered to Prescott batters.
Except for one homer by Bur
gett as salve for punctured pride,
the home boys never had Whit

finish of a Z to l defeat. Fans
pronounced Chatfeld and Bazell
the fastest battery in the terri
tory. and this will be granted
without protest by all who have
looked them over. Except this
homer, Bazell kept the hitting

Cultivation should be thorough. deep
and constant after the plants are we'll
up. After rains the soil must be loosened
around each plant carefully. When the
vines begin to run sturdily the cultivation
need not be so deep.
Remember that the young vines are ex-
ceptionally tender. and that 1t Is vary
easy to injure them severely by bruis.ng
them in the least.
The watermelon has few diseases, but It
is sometimes attacked by the striped Gu
cumber beetle, which must be destroyed

wood ashes will drive it away as a rule.
Boss, Coles Early, Black-eyed Susan
and Peerless are some of the good yare-
ties with firm. scarlet pulp of sweet flavor
and hardy enough to do well as far north
as northern New Hampshire.
To find out when a watermelon is ripe
examine the white spot where the melon
lies on the ground. AS soon as this spot
turns rough and yellow the melon should
be ready to pick. Another test Is to strike
it with the knuckles OF the fingers While
it is unripe 1t will give forth a ringing
sound. but when 1t is ripe this will not be
the case.
