El Cenuo played a iawless game against Imperial Sunday and won by A score of to O. Imperial had for pitcher Carnes, formrely of the Paci- fic Coast League, and reckoned one of the best pitchers in the West but the El Centro batters found him safe ly at critical times. Hester, on the other hand, was invincible, when hits meant runs for Imperial, and at no time did Imperial have a chance to score.
 The run-getting started in the first inning, when Ferlin reached first on an error. Stanley followed with a bunt, which he beat to first, Ferlin going to second. A pretty sacrifice by Bachman advanced both men a base. Ferlin scored on a wild pitch and Stanley came in on long fly to center by Chandler. Stanley scored again for El Centro in the eighth, getting first on a hit and completing the circuit by fast running and an infield error
 The features of the game were Hes ter's work in the box, the errorless

The Cane Crop.
louisiana Planter.

AOuiSldAd L ldLltCFs
Reports To US from the various
sections of the sugar district Of
the State are to the effect that
everywhere excepting in the
Northern lands of the sugar belt
the persiSting rains have been
the conspicuous feature of the
season Of late. While the cane
has been growing rapidly the
result of the prevailing warm
weather and thu moisture, the
latter has been excessive and the
results are not what were ex-
pected earlier in the season and
not such as are now imperatively
needed to riprn the cane crop
preparatory to the harvest e
son which is now four weeks of.
The successive rains have made
many fields pale in color and a
few DAYS Of sunshine would
rapidly restore all this and it is
in the nature of things that sun
shiny days should now come.
Sugar can ii: Id work has been
seriously embarrassed and in ia t
rendered impossible in most
cases. The hay crop has not
been harvested, fall plowlng not
done and cane fall planting which
is now in order can not be done
to any extent. Taken as a whole
the appearance of the cane fields
is good and we have the promise
of 4 good crop unles. the rains
this year should continue into
October and November as they
did in 1893 during the opening
weeks of the cane grinding sea-
SOP. The cane crop was SO i'm
mature as hardly to be worth
grinding. We shall hope to re-
port dryer weather and better
prospects 4 week hence.

HE HAS DONE HIS PART.

Some years ago the Yankee schooner
Sally Ann, under command of Captain
Spooner was beating up the Connect
lieut. River. Mr. Comstock, the mate,
was at his station forward. According
to his notion of things the schooner
was getting '1eetle'. too near certin
mud flats which lay along the larboard
shore. So aft he went to the captain,
and with his hat cooked on one side
said: "Cap'n Spooner, you're getting a
leetle too close to them flats. Hadn't ye
better 60 abOut?"
The captain glared at him.
'Mr. Comstock, jest you 60 for'ard
and tend to your part of the skinner.
I'll tend to NINE"
Mr.. Comstock went for'ard in high
dudgeon. ''Boys." he beloved out, '.see
that that ar mudhook's all clear for
lettin' go!'
cay, ay, sir!'
'Let 20, them" he rOared.
Down went the anchor, out ratified
the chains, and like flash the Sally
Ann came luffing into the wind, and
then brought up all standing. Mr.. Com
stock walked aft and touched his hat.
"Well, cap'n my part of the skinner is
to anchor. "-Everybody's Magazine.
That is good story-so good, in fact,
that the writer preserved it in scrap

raped for attention, and asked the
ancient and honored secretary, Benz. F.
Knowles, the Marquis of East Side, to
read the records of the last annual
meeting, which was done and approved.
Then came the trial of mems souls, the
election of officers. The President stat
ed that, having held the office fifteen
years, he would like it at least fifteen
more. Everybody knew that before it
was stated but the frankness OF 1t was
charming. However, he did not think
it prudent for him to be candidate;
Knowles did not want to be, and would
not be candidate, but Conner did and
would: but in the outcome for him 1t
was NORWOOD. The way the chief and
duke threw bouquets at each other and
sputtered and bickered, and at times,
to throw dust in the eyes of the cleo
tors. in honor preferred each the other,
beat all past records. Eventually the
old expedient Of a committee on noml-
nations was hit upon; naive as II never
before put in practice. Conner was
made chairman. He reported f. F..
Phillips for President, c. F. Conner
for Vice President B. F. Knowles for
Secretary and Rev. E. A. DinsloW for
Treasurer-the old slate, you see-ano
on motion of Conner cast it, Knowles
counted it, and Phillips declared 1t.
Now, wasn't that popular suffrage? All
the old chief has to do is to hold up MS
hands-"what hands, for anything
be wants, and ways are invented Tor
him to get it, and Conner is only too
glad to get the ''leavins." Some day, L
tell you. this old regime will be snutfed
| out so quickly that no smut will be LETT
on the finger and thumb to tell who did
it, and it will serve EN- right.
| Among those present were Mr. George
W. Prescott and Mrs. Nancy Colby, oc-
togenarians, but young in spirit as the
school boys and girls. Honorary men,
| bership was conferred on several pres
ent for the first time. George Collins
| of Searsmont was one OF them. Inc
chief handed down from the throne
two titles. none having been conferred
before for years. Edward B. Ma!ley,
ESQ, who lives in single blessedness IN
Cambridge, Mass, was made Duke OF
| Bachelorsdale, with full powers IN thai

sured in advance that his attendance
would be a feature, and he promptly
