H. E. Bassett witnessed the
electrical demonstration of the par
agon, a device for reproducing base
ball games, in Scranton, on Satur-
day. He states that it is a wonder
full invention. AS plays were made
on the field they were flashed over
the wire and almost simultaneously
were reproduced upon the board,
the plays and players being identi-
fed by colored electric lights. AS
the plays were made they were ex-
planned. The audience was appar-
emily as much interested as if they
were witnessing a real game. En-
thusiasm was manifested on both
sides by cheers. If one is a lover of
the National game he ought to wit
ness the paragon demonstrate the
results, says Mr., Bassett.
