TaCOnnet Six :
Fairfield Four,

The first scalp belongs to the Taconnet
team, which Saturday afternoon defeated
its old rivals, the Fairfield aggregation,
6 to 4. 1t was Taconnet's game all the
way, for they played better ball. Fair
field players made many blunders and
their error column was well filled. 1t
was their first time together, however.
and considering that fact it Is not to be
wondered at The attendance at the
game was rather small. ~' = e
Fairfield sent Hartman, the Bates
pitcher. to their slab, but he had an off
Taconnet boys found him for eight sim
giles for a total of 10 bases. Cavanaugh
and Stobie both hit doubles. Hartman
passed four men. Taconnet depended
upon Cavanaugh of Madison to do their
twirling and he pitched good and
steady game.
Fairfields balloon went up at the very
first part of the game, when on account
of ragged baseball and many errors Ia
comet secured three runs. The ball was
thrown all over the field The three runs
came after two men were out Taconnet
scored again in the seventh and two
more in their half of the ninth.
1t was the fifth inning before Fairfield
could find the home base and in that in
ming two men We're sent across. With
one man out in the ninth, the Fairfield
batters played the hit and run game and
managed to bring in two more runs
These teams will meet again at p M,

Death of a Faithful Horse.

Jerry, the faithful horse that has
done good service for the American
Express Co. in this city for IA years.
died at an early hour Thursday
morning. He had worked all the day
previous and when put in the stable
about o'clock in the afternoon he ap-
peared perfectly well. Two hours
later he was taken ill with infamma-
ton of the stomach. All the efforts
of the veterinarian to save his life
failed. Jerry had become so accus
toned to his work that after the
wagon would be unloaded at the depot
he would voluntarily move out of the
way and wait for the arrival of the
train. When the train came in he
would bring the wagon back to the
proper place for reloading. The faith
full animal had become a familiar fig
ure on the streets and when missed
from his usual rounds Thursday the
enquiries concerning him We're many.
