esting service at the Methodist
Protestant church. The church was
decorated beautifully. The pro-

children acquitted themselves in a
praiseworthy manner and deserve
much credit. Santa Claus appeared
at the close of the service and all
were delighted to see the old gen.
tleman. He distributed treat OF
candy to the children of the Sunday
school. The service was well at
tended, and the children returned
to their homes very happy.

sermon, and there were a number
of beautiful Christmas hymns
sung, making pleasant and prof.
table service throughout.

WAGON 90. b. b. TEAM
WINS TWO FAST GAMES

The "ShamrOcks," Zanesville's
best basket ball team, met defeat
Monday afternoon here when
Wagon Co. 124 took them over by a
score 81 to 81. This made the fifth
GAINESVILLE basket ball team that has
met defeat here this season from lo-
cal teams, and all by decisive
score. The game Monday was q
mighty good one. The Clay city
basketeers were not only the first
to score, but made the first three
field baskets. Then our Wagon Co.
team braced up, and before the first
half it was nip and tuck, being tied
twice. At the end of the first half
the score was 13 to 10 in favor of
the home players. In the beginning
of the second half Whiting for the
locals made the first field, but after
time the visitors steamed up and
the score was again tied II all-but
only for "a short time, F. Deedrick
getting in three of his famous shots
from the side. The closing minutes
saw the GAINESVILLE tossers slowing
up. with the locals rolling them In
easy. In the absence of Bingham,
who is i'll, N. Whiting from Marietta
played center in his place. Mayer of
the o. s. IT, played with GAINESVILLE.
Thus our people had the opportuni-
ty of seeing two professionals.
However our local boys put up
good fast game, and were warmly
complimented by the Marietta star.

LONDON, July 21.-King George and
Queen Mary to-day gave garden
party at Buckingham Palace to 1000
guests. Included among the Ameri-
cans present were Colonel E. M.

Mrs. Roosevelt, Justice Mahlon Pitney
and Mrs. Pitney and their son and
daughter, Mrs. James Winslow, Miss
Alice Perkins, a niece of Lady Astor,
and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Stuyvesant
Chhnler.
The spacious lawns presented bril-
liant scene. All the members OF the
royal family were present. The func
ton was attended by the various for
eign ambassadors and ministers, the
dominion premiers, Indian notables,
members of the government and others.
King George and Queen Mary shook
hands with 1000 of their guests. The
lawn party was to some extent q sub
stitute for the courts which the King
anG Queen were unable to hold this
year, and the informal presentations
are equivalent to the usual presenta-
tions at court
The gowns worn by the women were
rather more subdued than those seen at
Ascot and the Henley regatta. Most
of the skirts were Logger than those
lately considered fashionable.
