Togus making seven bad errors, while
the visitors made five. Spencer, the

two bad innings the game was we'll play

crowd. Harvey also pitched good game,
but. as in the case Of Spencer, lacked
support at critical times.
There was some kicking on balls and
strikes. the visitors thinking that some

everything is as near on the level as can
be. Some of the visiting team had to
take the o'clock car and left the field

early publication:

To our friends and fellow horsemen.
Charles Billy and Tom. these lines are
sympathetically dedicated:
When we landed in Dover
We thought we were in clover
For we felt we were going to win the
dough;
And you can put this in your bonnet,
That We surely would have done it,
But our nags were too blamed slow.
So put on your old gray bonnet,
Tie black ribbon on it,
Come and meet us, we are on the way
Through the fields of clover
We are walking back from Dover.
With no cash in our pockets to pay.
We are sorry for you Billy,
For the road is long and billy.
