LOVING CUP ARRIVES IN VIRGINIA
Token Prese0ted to Rance Base Gall
Champions Brought Over Frssn.
ni6binQ Monday.


W. b. Shaver, az member of tAe
Virginia Base Bali Association, on
Monday brought over from Hibbing
the handsome loving' cup put up
by, John A. lHealy of the Hibbing
Hotel for the range base ball pen
nant winners for the season of 1858,
won by the Virginia team by big
margin..
The cup is a handsome prize, of
sterling silver, appropriately in
scribed, giving the name of the don
or, the object for which it was offer
ed, and the winners. The cup occu.
pies position in the show window
of Finch's Buffet, where it ls an OBJ
ject of admiration by many.
While it is understood a brass
band accompanied Mr. Shaver as he
carried the prize to the Hibbing de,
pot, the Hibbinx> correspondent of
the Duluth News Tribune relig-
iously forgot to mention the fact
even as the Virginia correspondent
of the News Tribune has forgotten
to note the arrival Of the trophy.
Cracked the Lid.
The poor mans COW cut in on the
scene in new role in Virginia on
Sunday last, being responsible for
the breaking of the"lid" which pre-
sumably fits in accordance with the
statutes on the Sabbath day.
The bovine in question had escap-
ed the faithful eyeot her owner and
was browsing unattended near the
plant of the Virginia Brewery. In
front of one of the plate glass win
dows in the handsome structure she
struck a particularly luscious NOR
sci of verbiage, but one which was
not as deeply rooted as undying
love. Getting a half Nelson hitch
with her tongue on the succulent
sprig she suddenly gave her head a
sidewise lunge, as she did so horn
coming in contact with the pane of
plate glass with such velocity as to
cut it in two for the entire width.
As Virginia was temporarily with
out poundmaster at the time no
arrest was made.
