During the base ball season tho question
was frequently asked as to when It was
that the Athletic Base Ball Club of Phila
delphia played in Bloomsburg. Referenco
to the flics of tho Columiiian gives a full
account of the game. Tho Athletics played
at Catawissa the day before, and theu came
over to Bloomsburg, where they spent Sat
urday and Sunday. They were a very
gentlemanly set of young men, and went
away from here well pleased Willi tueir
treatment. The game was played on the
fair grounds on Saturday, August 21, 1889,
The Athletics embraced such old time play.

Sensenderfer, McMullen, Foran, Radcliffe
and Berry. Bensenderfer Is now ono of
tho county commissioners of Philadelphia,
and Reach Is the proprietor of a large
snorting goods factory in that city. Tho
Independent nine was mado up as follows;
R. C. Neal. s. s., W. J. Buckalew, p,
Lloyd Appleman, r. f., O. B. Furraan, c,
E. W. Elwell, 2b., F. P. Billmeyer, 1. f.
W. Sbutt. 3b., O. E. Elwell, lb., L. Melllck,

any runs, Neal and Furman went out on
fouls and Appleman failed lo reach first,
McUrldo sent a fly to Billmeyer, Iteach
and Cuthbert were nut out at first and sec
ond bv a double play by Neal, E. Elwell
and G. E. Elwell.
In the second inning the Independents
made ono run and the Athletics 3.
Then the visitors comnicnceu to pounu
the balls. Borne of them went over the
fence, and most of them went where there
was no uotiy to stop tucin. iney scut
them just whure they pleased, and the
score would have becu bigger than it was,
If tbo Athletics had not grown tired of
running. The score was as follows i

Slnco this game was played, nearly
twenty years ago, tho rules of tho game
have been greatly changed, and tho players
of thoso days would scarcely recognlzo It
as tho old-fashioned busu ball.

TMIC FAIR.
The Bloomsburg fair was not what the
people had hoped for. Tho continued
rainy weather reduced full ono third the
attendance while the exhibits were Interior
to that ot last year.
Main Hint-nixa.
In the main exhibition building, entering
from the south end, was found tue depart
ment of carriages. Tho well known and
reliable carriages of
M. C. Sloan & Bno.
were present, and attracted considerable
attention. Mr. B. A. Wilson also had a
number of carriages.
The furniture department was represent
ed by W. J. Corcll & Co. and Baker &
Bender. Fine suits of furniture wero shown
by both.
In tho musical department was found the
genial faco of J. Saltzcr accompanied by
Thos. Methcrell. Tho good qualities were
shown in the celebrated instruments that
Mr. Baltzcr handles, and tho constantly
crowded audiences showed that the music
was appreciated. Gomer Thomas of Dan
vllle also exhibited musical instruments.
I. VV. Hartman & Sons
had a lino exhibit of coats, dishes, lamps,
albums, etc. Tho display wm nicely ar
ranged. A fine display was made from the well
known store of
D. Loweniikro,
consisting of coats, overcoats, suits, trunks,
vallces, etc.
The I!loom3uci!C1 Woolen Mills
had samples of their rail and winter suit
ings for 1888-1889, and spring and summer
suitings for 1889.
A. S. Truckcnmlllcr of Catawissa had a
no exhibit of China and Japanese goods.
Tho beautiful White Bronzo Monuments
were represented. These monuments aro
bcinc well Introduced in tbls section, and
all speak highly of tbem.
There wero also displays In many other
departments.
Tho list of butters, cakes, bicad and pics,
was quite small, as well blso was that of
canned goods and dried fruits; whllo that
of jellies seemed to bo equal to last year.
The grain nnd vegetables wero tbo best
ever exhibited.
The Fancy Department
wns well filled and showed many beautiful
designs In silk quilts, mats, rugs and all
kinds of toilet articles.
The Stock.
The Lackawanna Breeders association
was the only party having fancy stock this
year; they consisted of the Holsteln. The
graded stock was up to the average. There
were somo fine cattle exhibited by our
farmers. If more attention was paid to
havo our farmers bring out their stock,
overy stall might be filled.
Tho sheep and swine department bad
few representatives, but what wero there
wero of the best. Our farmers ought to
give more attention to these exhibits and
fill every placo designed for them.
The display of agricultural Implements,
which extended along tbo cast side of tho
grounds, was not as large as usual. While
Conner & Sloan, however, had tbtlr usual
large display ot excellent machines, which
they manufacture. Eshleman & Wolf had
a line large display of all kinds of agricul
tural implements and a first-class display
ot stoves etc, in that department.
leant Ileutou.
John Hoyt of this placo found several
ears of corn, "eight row yellow," measur
ing 15 Inches each, in length. Who In all
the county can beat that? Again wo ask,
who?
Tough buckwheat threshing when It
rains every day.
Potatoes are an over abundant crop, but
aro rotting to somo extent.
Clark Cnlandcr of Cambra has a potato
patch 35 x 50 hills, a quarter aero or less,
from which ho will realize at least 125
bushels. Having dug tho poorest and
not quito half of tho patch and stored away
already 55 bushels.
Mrs. Bplnnogle concluded not to go to
tho Bloom fair this year. . Shu said, "they
say It Is six one way and halt a dozen the
other, aud I can't understand bow that is."
Mauy pcoplo argue that this country is
not adapted to tho Canada thistle, but the
Cannda thistle adapts Itself to this country
all the same.
Tho early sowed grain has an unusually
largo top for the timo ot year.
