Fort Monroe Defeats Athletics on
New Park Diamond, S to.5.
M0ARoE'S SENSATIONAL CATCH
6aImer's Bad Bak. Coupled With
Heavy Hitting. Gave Game to Ar
Settles Down.

Fort Monroe defeated the Newport
News Athletics in a slow and rather
uninteresting game on New Park dia-
mOnd yesterday afternoon by the score
OF 8 to >. 1t required nearly two
hours to finish the contest and Meth
er team did any particularly brilliant
work.
The Artllerymen took a hluting
streak in the third session and by
by Balmer, the Athletics twirler. Sc
cured two runs. In the seventh an
other bombardment of Balmer, inculd-
ing two two-baggers for the Artillery
men, added four more runs for the
. soldiers. Monroe's fine catch of Bard
ford's hot one in the sixth session
robbed the Athletics of a run.
| Bates was a triile villa, but he
came effective and has good pitching
after settling down. saved the day for
the Artilleriests. Read, of Newport

making two two baggers and single
out of four times at bat.

TO PREVENT THE SALE
Of POLLUTED OYSTERS
Board Of Health Names Committee
10 Look lnlo Important
Matter.
AUTHORIZED TO DRAFT LAW
Question of What Parts of Creeks Are
Infested TO be Taken Into Consider
ation-Council Asked to Compel
Property Owners to Connect With
Sewers.

The board of health of Elizabeth
county met in the office of the clerk
of the circuit court yesterday and
spent sometime endeavoring to devise
a plan to prevent the sale of oysters
from the rivers and creeks, which
We're found to be polluted by the State
board of health.
The meeting was called at the in
stance of DIR. Walter A. Picker, the
health officer, and thos epresent were
Drs. w. A. Picker, G. X. Wander
slice, Harry S. Howe. Clerk Harry Il.
Holt and Mr.. Henry c. Shelton. Sever
al men interested in the oyster bust
ness were present to hear the ~.scus-
sion
AS the State authorities only con-
demned 4 portion of Hampton creek,
Mill creek, and the Elizabeth river,
the board did not desire to take steps
that would prove against the interests
of the oysters in the unpolluted dis
tricts.
IL was flnally decided 10 reier inc
entire matter to a committee consist
ing of DIR. Picker, Mr. Holt and Mr..
NJ c. Armstrong and this committee
was invested with the authority 10
draft a suitable law governing the
removal of oysters from the condemn
ed districts The COMMITTEES will make
the final report to another meeting of
the beard to be held next Saturday at
noon.
A resolution was adopted by the
board of health requesting the coun-
Gil of the city of Hampton to enforce
the ordinance compelling property
owners living along the severed
streets to connect with the sewers:
as we'll as force all those in the Sec
ton to be severed to connest as
soon as the sewers are ready.
The board deems this very i'm
portant matter in the fight to keep
Che community in a high state OF
health at all times and especially dur
ing the heated season.

the front? Is 1t true that this is bu
one-fifth OF tho army?" With this
surprise at the numbers came a deeper
surprise-that an army looked like
this. For four years they had beer
seeing soldiers daily-buoyant lads
marching with shining eyes to the
front, or crippled men crawling home
to debut soldiers like these they did
not know. These men were bronzed
and stern and Indifferent. The spec
tators felt almost a terror in watch
ing the ranks. so irresistible seemed
theF power, so mighty their will.
| This. then. was what Lincoln meant
when he talked to them of veterans"
This was the kind Of men war made
of their bright faced boys.
The effect Of the grand review on the
people of the country was deeper than
Mr.. Stanton ever had dreamed. They
saw at last the quality OF the men the
war had called out, and, though they
%shuddered at what the tattered ban
ners recalled and wept ar they realized
how often the serried regiments had
been cut 70 fragments and refilled. they
carried away a great thankfulness.
They saw now why the young republic

country can have-an evil within. If
the belief that a great principle was in
danger could raise up such o body of
men as this. then government by the
people was no longer an experiment.
For the north the grand review was a
benediction or the civil war. q
In the Interval after the order for
disband,nent came and while the
troops were marching to their rendez-
vous transportation by river and rail
had been preparing to take the men
to their state camps. All the steamers,
cars, engines, OF the north were at the
service Of the government for his
task. Indeed, from now on the rams
p~ortation service of the north existed
first for the soldier. Everything vas
ready then when or May 30 the first
body of Sherman's and Meade's sol
diers was marched to the station at
Washington to lead in the northward
flow OF the armies. So perfect were
the plans, so complete the preparation,
that IN the mex forty days the M
little railway which then led from
Washington to the Relay House. a
Junction north of the city, carried
away 2a3,2o0 men. 1888 horses and
4 1900. $50 pounds of baggage. All the
states of the north were represented in
the two armies. so that at the Relay
House the solid stream which had
