Saturday's Game.
The game of ball on Saturday be
tween the Fishels aud Ed. Buchs, of
Pittsburg, was made interesting by
iu closeness ami in addition had sev
eral novelties, "which alone were
worth the price of admission."
A battle of pitchers is new to a
Butler audience, aud a:i • xtra-inuing
game is certainly a rarity here, but
the greatest r.oveFy of ail was the
lac. that our boys amuaily won the j
game.
Mark you, we mean to cast no re
flet-lion on the Fi>he!» in sai ing that. ;
They have done well When ic is
considered that tbey. usually iu a
crippled state,have met the best serni
proiessiouai aud amateur clubs i.i
Western Pennsylvania, and have al
ways played a close game, it is t-tea
that their work has been not ul all
discreditable.
Well, they won Saturday, and a
close aud exciting game it was.
The first five innings were charae- i
terized by a good bit of strike out, a
littie stopping on first, two men get
ting tired on second, Daugherty get
ting to third on a succession of pass
ed balls, and Borland reaching the
coveted goal, home, on errors.
Fifth ianiug: Fishels, 1; Buchs 0.
All very fine.
The beginning of the sixth looked
as if the Buchs were a four-horse
team with a dog under the wagon.
They hit the bail, got hit by the ball,,
were helped by errors, got a ruu iu,
had two men put out on bases, one
on strikes, and had two left oa bases
The Fishels made two runs in their I
half on bad errors and the score was
3 to I in their favor.
Tbe Buchs got a run in the seventh
on more errors and did nothing in the j
eighth, and the beginning of the j
ninth found the score: Fishels 3; |
Buchs 2.
The first man for the visitors in the
ninth popped a little fly to Krum,
second struck out, and" victory seem
ed about to perch on the banner oft
the Fishels but a base on balls and
errors gave the Buchs a run.
Score 3 all. One more chance for
for our boys.
McGrew went out on first, Ulam
on second and Boreland on the first,
and another inning was necessitated.
In the tenth the Buchs got a man to
third and one to second and one out
but the next two went out easily,
ileiuemau got to second on his hit ,
and got around, on errors, with the j
winning run for the Fishels.
That's how we won a very interest
ing game, although all the runs were ;
made ou errors.
By the way, another novelty was
the umpiring of Grieb. Not a single j
objection was, or could be, made to
his decisions, and that, in contrast to 1
the wrangling and petty kicking of
previous gaijje*, made the afternoon
appreciable. The score.

"The Colored Troops
Fought nobly." That is what they :
aaiJ of them during the, war; and in
Butler last Monday afternoon they
played Lall nobly- They live in
Steubenville, O. and six of th j nine
that played here that day, were pure j
Wooded negroes.
The Butler boys went to the bat
first, and the little pitcher for the col
ored men —the only small man of the
nine—doubled himself up for a throw.
He threw his left arm aud left, leg
over his head; brought his right hand j
with the ball, down to his ritcLt heel, j
reversed the operation suddenly, and j
iu went the ball. Scotty, McGrew !
and Clark were first at the bat, and
all made base hits, a fact that seemed
to astonish the pitcher and his
nine. Schraink got his base on balls,
Boreland made a base hit, the catcher
passed some balls aud the whole five
were home without any out*. Some
thing was evidently wrong, the pitch
er looked puzzled, changed his chew
ing gum, started the contortion act
again, and struck out lleineman,
Munlock and Knimm in succession.
The chewing gum did it.
The darkies then went to bat and
the first two went out on flies to
Clark and Ulam, and the third was
called out on third for not touching
base.
The second inning was without 1
I results, and in the third each club
made one run, Will He/ueman's three
bagger being the only play worth not
ing.
In the fourth inning the Butler
boys went out in one, two and three
order, but the colored gentlemen got
a lead and made three runs
The filth wars more interesting, the
Butler's making one run and the Key-
stone's threj, aad tieing the s-ore.
'Phis reviyed the spirit.? of the dar
kies from the depressing effects of
that first iuning aad they began their
remarkable chin music, nil chattering,
bantering and singing at the same
time They are very apt at wording
the incidents of the game, and when
one would sing out a line such as
"When I left my happy homo"
Ha 11 a, Ha lla.
Another would catch one with,
"And to Hutler town, did roam,"
A Ha Ha, A ila Ha.
The rhyme would be caught up
aud go all over the field, each man
adding a lino.
The sixth inning was without re
sults, and the seventh was no good
for the Hutler's, but the Keystone's
got in one run, and were proceeding
to make several more, when Umpire
Urieb called two men out for noL
touching bases. Thin brought about
u graud kick by the colored men, and
their chin music was of an entirely
different tone.
One of them tried to coax Ijiw out
of it by saving, " You don't want to
do that Mr. Umpire, take that luck
Mr. Umpire, You'll take that back
Mr. Umpire, Now wont you." lint
I jew was inexorable aud the darkies
submitted, though they didn't like it.
The eighth inning was no good for
the Uutlcrs, but the darkies got two
| runs. McUrew took Murdoek's place
las pitcher, and Ivrurnm on third base
had a linger nail torn off by a hot
ball.
The ninth was fruitless for the
Hutlar's aud as the darki.H were now
three runs ahead, the game ended,

was ooon seen ibui something was

teem, and the catcher, who was also
captain and manner, made a com
plete monkey of himself —only need
ing a tail to complete the illusion.
He couldn't, or wouldn't play the po
sition, and wouldn't put in auother
man Bases on passed balls and oad

The Choral Union Concert.
Butler's Four Hundred were en
thusiastic listeners at the second
grand concert of the Butler Choral
Union. The success of the first led
to the greatest hopes lor the second,
and it was no disappointment. The
program from first to last had not a
weak piace and some of the perfor
mances were notably fine. The cho
ruses were all weil received and
showed good selection aad careful
study. The song. "Bells of St.
Michael's Tower's" with bell's obli
irno by Mrs J. R Grieb was a nov
elty and was much applauded. "The
Jolly Coppersmith" was a lively
humorous vocal march which was
full of good music and took well.
A waltz song by Lorretta Miller
was the first solo on the program
and was heartily applauded. The
trio, "May Morning," by Mrs. Chas.
R 'bhun, Miss McElvain and Birdie
Miiler was one of the treats of the
evening. Prof Lamb accompanied
them on the piano, as he did nearly
ali the songs, and added much to the
effect.
Miss Josie Reiseman's solo, "Lo,
Hoar the Gentle Lark," was beauti
ful. Her splendid voice and manner
captivated the audience ard she was
forced to answer an encore, which
she did by giving "The Maid of the
Mill." Mr. A. Frank assisted her
on tl'e flute in a fair manner.
"The Song of Toreador," by John
Koch, Bu.-t .iacu the previous reputa
tion of that gentleman and nothing
more than that could be said. He
was applauded long and heartily aud
had to siug again.. He was again
encored on singing "The Boatswain's
Storv" and replied with "I Love
Thee »
Charlie Pape sang "Pilgrim of
Loye' nicely and was much applaud
ed.
The first evont of Part Second was
an instrumental burlesque, "Toy
Symphony," which created the great
est laughter. Several ladies appear
ed with the different toy instruments
of which they are masters and "made
Rome howl."
"Martha,''♦piano duet by Mrs. J.
R. Grieb and Piof. Lamb, was a
treat and rivaled anything iu that
line ever heard in Butler.
Miss Lina Muellar sang "Bid Me
Discourse." Those who did not hear
it missed a grand voice. Ia reply to
a thundering encore she gaye "Home,
Sweet Home" in her inimitable style.
The "Golden Days," by the members
of the Pape family, was much ap
plauded and was indeed very good.
The orchestra played several dilli
cult selections aud added much to the
enjoy meut of the evening.

Snow-Bound In duly.
WATEIUICRT, VT. —July I f —The
snow fall on Wednesday night last
was not confined to Mount Washing
ton. The Green mouutaius were
also visited, the fall being quite heayy
upon tbe summit ot Mount Mansfield,
Mount Killington aud tho Camel's
Hump, the latter being in conse
quence the scene of a most tragic oc
curreuce. The weather for several
days previous, due to tho fresh winds
prevailing, had been remarkably fine,
the air being HO pure that most mag
nificeut views could be obtained from
the mountains, A number of excur
sion parties went up the mountains,
among them, a party of twelve la
dies and gentlemen from Burlington,
who came down to camp out for a
few days on Camel's Hump, tho third
highest peak in the range, having an
altitude of 4,188 leet. They brought
two tents and provisions for several
days. They got settled down Tues
day evening, enjoying themselves
highly. The weather grew threaten
ing Wednesday afternoon and sonic
mountaineers warned them to come
down, but they refused, and tho
sUirm struck them about midnight. (
The mouutain nearly rocked by the
force ot tlx; wind, while tho Ughlniug
played constantly around it and the
rain and hail foil in sheets. Much
damage was done at the base, but
great was the surprise of the natives
at daybreak to see the summit cover
ed with snow. The excursionists
were not hoard of and Thursday
morning a relief party started out in
search of them. Alter fifteen hours'
hard climbing,the path being obstruct
ed by fallen trees and washouts, the
summit was reached No trace of the
tent was to be found, but all the par
ty, half dead from exposure and wet
to the skin were found huddling un
der a shelving rock. Three of tho
ladies were unconscious and had to
be carried down. The men had tried
to find tho path, but repeatedly lost
their way. One of tho youngest ot
the girls, a Miss Evans, it is expected
cannot recover from the shock. They
tell a distressing story. The tent
flew away at the first blast and they
had to take refuge uuder the rock
where they were found. S) violent
was the wind that they hid to crawl
on their stomachs and keep a
hold of one another to keep from blow
ing away. snow drift kc(>t them
from freezing. All they had to eat
was some pressed beef. Most of the
party are sick at B?lton. They were
nearly twenty four hours laying in
water.
