Yankees defeated the Indianapolis club.
of the American Association, in a fast
and well-played game here this after
noon, s to o. Jack Hendricks's players
seriously threatened to shove a run
across on more than one occasion, but
the New Workers played alright bali
and gained well-earned shut-out. The
honorable Ping Bodie decided the issue
with single in the sixth inning, which
gave the Yanks two-run lead.
A crowd of some 1900 fans turned
out to witness the contest, which was
played at the Parish Fair Grounds.
Babe Ruth tried his very best to poke
out a home run for the edification of
the local enthusiasts. He would have
done so in the eighth inning had. not

il is pointed out that the 1883 expended
for this purpose represents 81 per cent. of
the estates gross income. 1t is admitted
that the charges for repairs particularly
heavy, all repairs practically had to be

The Duke of Portland did not go into de-
tails with regard to his great estate around
Welbeck Abbey for he made his statement
upon very sentimental occasion. His ten
ants. gathered at the estate horse and foal
show, had presented to his son and heir a
handsome sporting gun in an oak case, and a
gold watch. The relations between owner
and tenant on this estate have been ad-
mirable for many years. due to the inde-
fatigable labors in behalf of their people by
the Duchess as well as by the Duke.

ful prosperity for farmers. who were immune
from foreign competition and could sell
everything they grew at top prices. They
were well to do and dreaded above every
thing the risk Of being dispossessed OF their
farms, for there were mo farms to be let

Consequently farmers were only too glad
TO buy their farms. and landlords, attracted
by the new high level OF interest on Govern

put hundreds OF thousands of acres into the
