citing games OF baseball ever
played in Fort Pie ce occurred on
last Friday afternoon, when Eau
Gallle and the locals met in the
second game of the series. The game
went for thirteen innings, and the win
ming run was made when it was almost
too dark to see the ball, the score being
I to 8 in'favor Of the Fort Pierce team.
At the end Of the ninth inning the
score was to 4, so the battle was con-
tinued through the tenth and eleventh
innings without any change. In the
Twelfth the visitors scored. one, and the
home team came in and tied " up
again. In the thirteenth another run
run was squeezed in by thevisltors and
it looked. gloomy for the home fans. In
the locals half, however, came batting
rally, assisted by errors, and the two
necessary runs were put across the pan
after two were out.
The first game on Thursday was a

Three Handsome Prizes.

Less than two weeks time remains in
which to determine to whom shall be
given the $3.50 Seminole piano for the
highest number Of votes, the handsome
mahoganyhnish parlor suit to the next
largest number Of votes, and the very
desirable college course to third in the
count Of votes cast up to the closing of
this contest.
A little calculation will show that
there is a good chance for some active
and persistent soliciting by some one
OF the contestants to capture the grand
prize, for about ten days real work, and
that certainly is very liberal payment
for the most exacting. And, also, when
the small number Of contestants is
considered, the reward for few days
of energetic work will be large and
certain.
No more bonuses OF votes will be
given, but contestants and their friends
will please take notice that life sub
scription to the News can be bought
