In a game of base ball at the M. E. Sun
day school picnic at Lakcsido yesterday, the
marrlod men opposed the single men in an
interesting contest interesting .to tho
umpire Tho lattor is a Benedict, and his
decisions wore so many and of a rank naturo
that tho single men claim ho alono defeated
them, materially assisted by others. The
married men won by tho score of 30 to 38,
showing that neither pitcher was effective,
Both, however, received poor support. Chief
Tosh was a vertiblo stone wall at third base,
and Pitcher Martin had complete control of
tho ball whilo in his hands. Aftor tho

Talk about tlio hot weather, but that can't
hold a candlo to the amount of heat produced
by the contestants and their friends who aro
interested in tho popular bicyclo contest at
the Shenandoah drug storo. It is so hot and
the interest is so great that the proprietor is
compelled to purchase an additional supply
of lco each day to keep the lactated beverages
from turning sour behind the counter. Miss
Clara Whitelock, who led tho race for two
days, has fallen back to Bccond place, with
2.014 votes, while Ambroso Toole heads the
list again with 2,657 votes. Tho tide will be
turned on him by Monday again. Miss Mc-
Meuamin and John Convillo are engaged In

ing tho fort for fourth place. Undismayed
by the largo number of votes polled by the
above contestants mapy of those further

credited with 400 votes yesterday, giving her
a total of 001, wliicu assigns her to seventh

A Correction,
Ed. Hkrald : Permit me to make a state
ment denying an article that appeared iu the
N'ews of last evening. The artielo charges
ine with running into and breaking the wheel
of Miss Whitelock'i bicycle. It is true there
was an unavoidable collision, but the father
of Miss Whitelock denies that the wheel is
broken. The article also says that after the
collision, I proceeded on my way without In
quiring as to whether the young lady was in
jured. This Is not true. I not only stopped,
but asked the young lady if she was injured.
aud also inquired why she did not keep to
tne right. She replied she could not ooutral
