James u. Kincheloe. The annual land
recapitulation for 1886 has just been
completed.

which was assessed at $11, 1852, ,79S IN
1885, carries an assessed valuation OF
$l2,209, ,403 for the current tax year.

local taxpayers are scheduled to pay
$245,84285 in real estate taxes this
year, a boost of $12.576.55 over 1885,
when the total real estate tax
amounted to 33.266.30. The in

brought about through a slight Jump
in the tax rates in the several magis-

Land itself carries an assessed value
Of s6, ,483, ,498 for 1885. while improve
ments add an additional S5,725 ,905.

has dropped by 946 acres from 1885.

The Key West baseball clubs
played a practice game yesterday
in getting in shape for the big
series with the Cuban Navy base
ball nine. 1t was a great game
and the pitchers, batters and
fielders had very good work out.
A new catcher was used by the
name of White. He did a good
job of it and throws to the bags
very well.
In the box, Joe Casa, Salinero,
Carbonell, Griffin and Sevilla
hurled and all did excellent.
So far the starting pitcher is
not known as this is written, but
Griffin, Casa and Carbonell are
the choice among the mounds
men.
At first, Pena not only played
well but he smacked two singles
out of four times up.
AL. Acevedo at second was a
little nervous but he will get over
that in real game.
Gates at third played his posi-
ton like a veteran and batted a
single and a homer in four times
up.
At short Baker played all over
the field and looked like a million
dollars.
In the field Gabriel. Lucilo,
Capote and Rueda looked very
good.
It is hard to tell at this writing
who will start the game.
For the visitors, they have a
lineup composed of former semi
pro players. Some have seen ac-
ton in the big leagues.
Quintana, their short STOPPER,
played with Washington a year,
then was shipped to the minors
where he played two more years.
Two years ago he Joined the
navy.
Estrada at second and Abreu
at third are also semi-pro players
from Havana.
Lecoubet, one of the best pitch
ers around the Cuban capital. is
with them and the catcher is a
veteran who has played with the
best teams in Cuba.
Capt. Fernandez of the Cuban
Navy is the manager.
