1 lie Smitliville ball team was the
victims in the game ol liall the sec-
ond day.
1 lie visitors showed up well OH
the diamond, and as most of them
have lieeu seen on the diamond here
before, and are all good ball players,
the game was expected to be a vtry
close one, but after the game started
it was seen the locals was loo much
fur them; with some more practice
they can put up a Ik Iter game.
l lie game was supposed to start
at .1:o0 p. in., but as the horse rac-
ing program had not been completed
at this hour, it was near l o'clock
before the umpire called "play ball "
Bastrop opened the game by cross-
ing home plate twice, while the visi-
tors scored one. In the second in-
ning the Iov a is pounded the ball in
aii directions aud scored four runs
while Smitliville pounded out a
"goose e^g." In the third Bastrop
scored three, aud Smitliville scored
another "goose egg." in III" fourth
the locals were not allowed to score
but two runs, while the Smitliville
boys scored their other "egg." The
feature of the (iftli inning was the
run scored by the visitors. Bastrop
scored two runs. Both teams drew
•goose eggs" in the sixth and
seventh, w lieu at this stage of the
game the bicycle races began, aud
the Smitliville boys decided they
could not overtake the locals, and
gave up the game.
The Bastrop boys put up a nice
game, their work all round was good,
the main feature, however, was the
playing done at third by Charlie
l'erkins, he having about seven
chances aud accepting tlietn all with-
out an error.
It is hoped Captain Jones will
try aud keep this team together all
the reason.

The Fire Department, we learn, will
at once begin t lie erection on their l'ark
of commodious stalls for stock, pens for
swine and coops for fowls. This, of
course, v ill Incur an indebtedness of
several hundred dollars, but they be-
lieve the people of town and county will
appreciate their efforts in the interest of
an annual county fair, where can be ex-
bil'lted, annually, line utoek, swine,
chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and
country produce generally, sullicient to
assist them in liquidating the Indebt-
edness. This has been the main object
the Department lins had in view from
the lirst, and though their progress has
been slow, the accomplishment now
looks indeed promising. Kvery dollar
taken in, over and above actual neces-
sary expenses, will be devoted toward
lilting (hi! Park grounds for an annual

opening day. In being started In the
lirst race, sprained his ankle, which
necessitated hiiii to withdraw from the
races on the second. Ills bad start was
caused by the condition of the track at
the starting point.
The sw ings for the children were con-
stantly used by the young and older
oie s too, and pronounced by all to be
preferable to tho hobby horses. The
swing feature was only put on as an ex-
periment. which proved so satisfactory,

The May pole dance gave such gen-

second afternoon to the very great pleas-
ure of all.
Thirty-five hundred Is considered a
very conservative estimate of the crowd
on the grounds the lirst day. The
second day was not so large. All chil-
dren fifteen year- old and under, were
admitted free.
Not a drunken man, not a disturbance
of any kino, not an arrest during the
two days of the Mai-Fest, is something
remarkable iu two days gathering of

be had for the asking.
The two nights ball, over and above
all expensex, cleared .<211.0(1, which was
