Charles S. Lincoln of the garrison has
been patient in the department hos
pital during the past week and Is not
yet sufficiently conyalescent to return
to- her quarters. Mrs. Lincoln was a
surgical patient Of Captain Owen and
while the operation performed was
one Of a major character, none of her
MANY friends, were alarmed as TO the
ultimate outcome She has progressed
most favorably in every respect and
will shortly be able to receive visits
from her friends who have been con-
slant in inquiry and solicitude during
her illness. Mrs. Lincoln has been
beautifully remembered in her stay at
the hospital by an amazingly large
number of flower gifts from the large
circle that counts itself as her friends
and these remembrances have done
much to solace the sufferer during her
illness and recuperation.

The usual upset of the wise ones in
baseball took place yesterday when
E of the Signal Corps cowned ID of the
I'd Infantry in a hot and well played
game by the score of 2 to /. A big
crowd was out to see the game, which
was the second of a double header
and as both teams were we'll support
ed by rooters the interest was not al
lowed to abate at any time during the
seven innings that constitute game
in the post league. Of the several
