] A very enjoyable dance was given at the Club on Friday night by the master mechanics department. A large crowd turned out to help the boys celebrate their second annual ball, and every person went home satisfied that they had a good time. The music was good, the floor was in excellent shape, the punch was delicious and the crowd was good natured, aud not too big, which made dancing just right It is to be hoped that some of the other depart meuts will fall in line and give dance after the first of the year.

SATURDAYS GAME.

In game played at Frankfort Sat-
urday between the Bourbonites and
Lawmakers. the latter won by score
of TO g. The game WAS see-saw
from start to finish and the features
were the miserable infield work of both
teams.
WicnhelI was on the mound for the
Paris team and gave the Lawmakers
six hits, while the Paris boy secured
seven off of Cornell, the Frankfort
pitcher, so the official score shows.
However. Scott, the heavy hitting
short-stop of the Paris team, claims to
have gotten three in this game, but
was only given credit for one. Pop
Barnett had his eye along and secured
three hits. The following is the official

SUNDAYS GAME.

There were near a thousand people
at the game Sunday afternoon between
Paris and Shelbyville at White Park.
The game resulted in a score of to 6
in favor of Paris. 1t was an uninter-
esting listless game.
Stanley Barton, of Cincinnati, the
new pitcher of the Paris team, put IN
the box and pitched gilt edge ball for
six innings, but then weakened. 1t
was the first game Barton had pitched
for two weeks and he was short Of
work. He is a good ball player and
there is no doubt but what he will
make good.
Valandingham, The crack Shelby
villepitcher, was in the box for the
visitors and did well until the fifth in
ming when the sluggers found him and
batted him all over the field. 1t look
ed like every member Of the local team
had it in for him and was trying to
lose the ball. Seven runs were batted
in in this inning. Hannigan was the
star in this batting rally, as he caught
one on the nose when there were three
men on bases, scoring ali three with
his two-bagger and scoring himself on
Felix's three-bagger.
4DN OH0iUy VIE DtyS play SUdppy
ball throughout and they are a game
set Of players and don't know anything
about quitting. They play the same
kind of ball from start to finish,
whether ahead or behind. and in this
respect the Paris team is faulty. Get

shape by a score Of 2 20 0. The cause
mostly for this humiliation was the
failure of the Bourbonites to connect
with the twisters of Robbins, the Lex
ington pitcher. He seems to have the
hoodoo on the Paris sluggers for this
is his fifth consecutive victory over
them.
To make long story short and at
the same time give the facts, is SIM
ply this the Colts just outplayed the
Bourbonites. Poole, for the locals,
pitched steady game, and most Of the
hits credited to the visitors were the
result of slow fielding on the part of his
teammates. The official score by inn

MONDAY AFTERNOON.

The game Yesterday afternoon at
Lexington between the Colts and Bour-
bonites was a repetition of the morn
ing game, the score being 3 to in IA
vor OF the colts. Mr. Robbins was the
gentleman that repeated the dose. He
was again in the box for Lexington
and the Paris bunch were like infants
standing before him. To pitch eigh-
teen innings without giving run to
the opposing team is an enviable rec
ord. There were only nine hits made
off OF him in the two games. Digger
pitched fine game only allowing six
hits They were again simply Outplay-
ed. The features of the game for
Paris was the sensational fielding of
Williams, Ochs and Hannigan in the
outfeld. 1t was a hard fought bat
tie. The following is the score by inn
