IL you had been at the fair grounds
Friday afternoon, you would have seen
some fancy ball playing, and you would
also have heard some of the most ap-
proved hollering. A ball game between
the Masons of Norway and Paris was the
chief feature of the observance of st.
Johns Day, which was under the aus
pieces OF Oxford Lodge of Norway, with
an invitation extended to the Masons of
the two towns and their families. Nat
urally the teams included a number of
has beens, as we'll as perhaps few
never-weres, but there was some tall
playing. Norway had challenged Paris
to seven mining game. At the end OF
the seventh inning the score was ID to 9
in Paris favor, thus giving the challenge
game to Paris. Some of the old fellows
didn't feel quite lame enough, so for fun
they kept on two innings more, and at
the end of the niuth the total score was
II to Is in Norway's favor. On account
OF showers In the early afternoon, and
other causes, there was not very large
attendance, as compared with the whole
number OF Masons in the two towns. A
picnic supper was eaten in the grand
stand. That celebrated past master OF
the bean-hole, Charles Sewell Penley,
was on hand with beans baked in the
ground enough for twice what were
there.
