Charlottesville. Va, March Y.-Defying

Washington Clubs Regulars and Schae-

inning ball game here this morning. The
Regulars had things their own way, WIN

Tom Hughes and Joe Engel decorated
the mound for the veterans and were un-

passing five. When he did manage to gel
the ball over the plate the youngsters
were helpless. Jee allowed but one safe
hit and struck out five in three innings.
On the other hand. Cashion, Bickers and
Sullivan were the easiest kind of picking
for the Regulars. Clyde Milan had a per-
feet day at the bat Out of three up he
came through with a pair of singles and
a triple. Eddie Foster and Williams
pulled down two safe swats each.
Morley returned to the game after an
enforced rest of two days and played four
innings at shortstop His wrenched side
was much better and he gave good ac-
count of himself while in action. Ray
Morgan replaced Morley in the fifth.

The Hospital

The interesting story of the Henderson
vile Hospital association is one of a great
struggle for well deserving cause dating
back to November %, 1905, when a number
of ladies under the leadership Of Miss Lucy
M. Davis met at the home of Mrs. M. G. Toms
and organized the association with Mrs. NJ.
G. Toms as president; Miss Nettie B.. Che
nault as secretary and Mrs. F. S. Thomas as
treasurer.
Following are the names of the present Of
fcers: President, Mrs. Charles R. Whitaker;
secretary, Mrs. F. S. Thomas; treasurer, Mrs.
c.. E. Wilson.
At the first meeting Of Hendersonville
ladies in the interest of hospital work it was
decided to secure a room for the good work
contemplated and Hon. w. A. Smith offered
without charge the building known as the
Erwin place. The work was begun in these
quarters and has been steadily but fruitfully
going on until the present day, when the as
ISOLATION has an imposing brick structure
standing uncompleted for the want of furth-
er funds.
The principal work of the association
has been devoted to furnishing relief for the
poor and sick Of the community. While it is
impossible to give an account of the splendid
work done by the association in its feeble
way, it is known that the life of a girl has
been saved and misery and suffering has been
relieved by surgical cases cared for. No
worthy appeal has met with a deaf ear and
Christian work has been done in the way of
finding homes for orphans, visiting the
county prison and the county home, fur
nishing clothing, food, medicine and other
things needed by the unfortunates.
The first contribution was made by Mrs.
salie j. Hart, a gift of $25. Messrs. Smith
Holmes & Valentine donated a lot to the
work and the adjoining lot was procured
through the untiring efforts of Mrs. C.E. Will
son in which connection she donated 800.
A charter was obtained in January, 1911,
when the association was organized for work
on more extensive scales. I'm November,
1911, Mrs. Annie L. Patton gave the splendid
lot on Patton Heights on which the hospital
building is now under erection. The name

Why did almost 100000 people visit
Laurel Park last seasonG
And with the Laurel Park Electric Street
Railway operating a ten-minute schedule to
the Park TINS season, how many win visit the
most beautiful natural Park in America this
seasonG
Undoubtedly one of the most important
developments in the history of Henderson
vile as a resort is the actual completion of
the new electric trolley line to this resorts
playground-Laurel Park,
The rare attractiveness of this Park has
been told too often, is too well known
throughout the Southland, to require repe-
tition here. Therefore let it suffice to draw
attention to a few of the added charms
awaiting the tourist when he alights from
the trolley and finds himself facing Rhode
dendron Lake, to which the car line has been
extended.
The Park this year will offer the tourists
a new beauty spot, to which the electric
line has been extended, Rh~ododendrOn Lake.
The line twirls around a fountain, then, and
there are new paths and drives and springs
to invite you to walk and walk and admire.
There vii lbe band concerts at the Park,
a military school, a camp for boys. The
Swiss Incline Railway is still there and to
the athletic sports has been added trap
shooting.
The Park is the home of the annual Horse
Show, of course. There will be the usual
base ball games, the usual fine aquatic sports
and the beach at Rhododendron lake offers
new and still better facilities for bathing.
Laurel Park estate is fast becoming one of
the best known residential parks in the
South. "A new sub division has lust been
opened to satisfy the i~nsistent demand for
home sites in this beautiful spot.

Now, the Pope's soldiers not only got tired
of papal interdicts against Frascati wine,

1t seems that Papa is afraid the heretics

devilsh craft.
Hence, he had his soldiers drilled in climb
