distinguished countenance reminding
his audience of William J.. Bryan. and
with SO accomplished virtuoso air
IN handling the violin that a visiting
StF knight several times demanded,

I vlolinist announced his next realistic
lmmitatoin. Raymond and Geneva,
jugglers. were especially good, and
the audience told them so. The mas
culine half Of the team had a Will
Rogers rope swinging monologue
that proved very satisfactory. All the
other acts We're good. One of the bar
performers was an exceedingly tall
man and heavy beyond the usual run
OF trapeze gymnasts, but he put his
act across with ease and success.
There were two performances, one
in the afternoon and another after
the buffet lunch, just before the Wis

troupe, including Miss Dreamers, adj

the first of the fifth, with the score .

doubtless dislikes alibis as We'll as
the next good sportsman, it should lie
said in his favor that he pitched four
us pretty innings as has been seen on
Il local diamond for many Il day; but
when one has been out of the game
several years and weighs close to 200
one begins to slow down about the
fifth frame. And that was what hap

and unmistakable hits. one of them Il
two sackcr, which following a walk
and some clever stealing, Melted six
runs in that one inning.
Even the redoubtabe Fish Of Au-
gusta yielded two hits in the fourth
and fifth but was able to pull out of
the pinches. The (un) official scorer
counted eight runs for Augusta and
two for NaterVille, with nine hits for
Augusta and six for Waterville, and
he wasn't looking when the errors
We're made. Here's how it looks tab
