Time of game, lao.
Wednesdays Game

Ocala took the third Of the series
by an exhibition of real ball playing
in the seventh and eighth innings. Up
to the sixth inning it looked like a
walk-over for the home boys, as Ocala
had failed to score up to that time
Sanford scored one in each of the
first, second and fourth. At the be-
ginning of the seventh the score
stood three to nothing in favor of
Sanford. Then Captain Harris"s men
gave an excellent exhibition of clever
bunting, bringing in two runs. The
eighth was a repetition of the seventh.
The ninth was a shut out for both
sides. Ocala winning by a score of
to ).
The visitors were a clever lot of
ball players, and had the good will of
all the Sanford fans. Waller, their
catcher, was about the best ever seen
in Sanford, and owing to his good
work the game was won Wednesday.
Mansell pitched an excellent game,
and it was no fault of his that San
ford did not win. 1t was a case of ev-
erybOdy playing ball on both teams.
There were but few errors. The pub
lie should feel that they had received
their moneys worth.

A CHARMING VISITOR HoNoRED
From Fridays Daily:

From FRIDAY Daily:
One of the most charming among
large number of lovely affairs. that
has made the past few months in
Ocala socially interesting was the
thimble party at which Mrs. H. L. Lee
entertained on Thursday afternoon in
honor of Mrs. c. F. Kemp of Key
West Mrs. Kemp is the wife Of one
of the prominent visiting dentists,
and she and Mrs. Lee are friends of
many years standing.
About fifteen guests were invited to
come and bring their thimbles and
bit of fancy work and spend an infor
NAL afternoon with Mrs. Lee and
Mrs. Kemp.
At the door Miss Mary Carlisle met
the guests, and serving punch was
Mrs. Edd Carmichael. The former
was daintily attired in pink and the
latter in light blue with a big blue
picture hat.
The punch bowl had an unusually
artistic setting, the table being pref
tily decorated with grape vines and
pink and white oleanders. In the top
of the big cake of ice in the punch a
bouquet of lovely pink hydrangeas
had been frozen, the effect being very
lovely.
Mrs. E. H. Mote, gOwned in white
over pink, invited the ladies into the
attractive parlor, where Mrs. Lee and
Mrs. Kemp were receiving.
The hostess wore a dainty white
dress with pink sash and pink beads
and the honor guest was very attract
i've in a beautiful hand-embroidered
white linen gown.
The decorations of Mrs. Lees coy
little home on Fort King avenue were
entirely of white and pink flowers
oleanders, hydrangeas, lilies and ros-
es-and everything was exceedingly
attractive. The pink and white lilies
used in the front room were especially
lovely and were the favOrite flowers
of the honor guest.
Mrs. Lee, who has only been resid-
ing in Ocala for a short while, proved
an ideal hostess, and the afternoon
with her flew on merry wings as dain-
ty stitches were interviewer with
OIpaSaOt cOnvarco tiOO
During the afternoon, besides the
very delicious punch, pink and white
ices and pink and white cake were
served by Mrs. Carmichael and Miss
Mary Carlisle.
A pleasant feature of the afternoon
was the reading given by Mrs. F. E.
Wetherbee, who is exceedingly talent
ed along this line. Her selection was
greatly enjoyed by the other guests,
who were the following: Mesdames C.
F. Kemp, E. H. Mote, Edd Carmichael,
L. w. Duval, Will Knight, L. F. BIa-
lock, T. G. B. Weihe, G. R. Mexican,
w. NJ. Coin, c. L. Bittinger, d. NJ.
Smith, Miss Josie Williams and Miss
Mary Carlisle.
Mrs. Kemp is a woman of delightful
personality and those who have met
her during her short visit to Ocala
are indeed fortunate.
AS a souvenir of the afternoon she
was presented a bouquet of white and
pink lilies.

OcaIa at Orlando

They were there from the sticks
yesterday afternoon to see the first
of the series of three games between
Orlando and Ocala, and the largest
crowd of the seaso nyelled itself
hoarse, and rooted until the echoes
could be heard all over the city The
unanimous verdict was: The best
game of the season." and while the
grand stand was comfortably full yes
terday, its seating capacity will no
doubt be taxed at the games to be
played today and tomorrow.
When the home team returned
from Ocala two weeks ago they were
loud in their praise of the boys of
that little city, and especially of the
Ocala baseball team, and from the
way they conducted themselves yes
terday they showed themselves not
only to be ball players, but gentlemen.
The game was stoutly contested
throughout and not until the big O
Ii4clI hCu inc luiIu OuJ III Tie
inning did the crowd succeed in get
ting a deep breath.
|. Ocala made the first score in the
second inning, Harris making the tai
ly on a two base hit in deep right by
Galloway. The home boys were kept
busy holding the visitors where they
were up TO the fifth, when Story scOr-
ed on Pounds hit to short. With the
score a tie the crowd was on its tip
toes, but the old lucky seventh gave
the Orlando boys two more, Bennett
scoring on Pounds two base hit and
Pounds on a beautiful drive for two
bases by Windham. From that point
to the end of the game both sides
were retired in one, two, three, order

ROSTER OF MARION DRAGONS
Evinston, Fla, June II, 1909.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
The interest aroused throughout the
southland attendant upon the recent
reunion of old Confederate veterans
at Memphis, and because too sadly is
it true that many of those heroes are
fast passing to the Great Beyond,
prompts me to herewith furnish you
with few "reminiscences of the Ma
rion Dragons, and a complete ros-
ter of officers and men who composed
this command. Perhaps some of my
old comrades are still living within
the borders of old Marion, and, seeing
this, will recall faces now long since
forgotten and memories of those days
of the past.

ed throughout the war as such, and
most of the time in Florida. We took
part in the battle of Olustee, Double
Bridge, and in the battles in and
