Base-Ball News-. It ..was.. a- shut-out—a wliite-.waah—for Mays Landing, lust SaturdayWo deserved the victory, to be surebut the large score is due, not so muchto our good playing us to the stupkJack of head-work on tho part of 8omof the visitors. Wo are credited wit!nineteen hits, but about four of themwere duo to mis-judgments. Twicefor example, Holders allowed the balto drop between them, within easjreach of either ; ' bu t each waited fothe other to take it Bucff-'oxhibltionmarred what might otherwise-havbeen u good game.

Indeed, in spite of the misplay.si tbigame was interesting, and eevoragood plays were seen. Hammontonhad to hustle to prevent eight hit.from resulting in a count or two fothe visitors.

Prasch was easy for our fellows, aricfive of the nineteen hits were twobaggers.. Everybody but Sears madia hit and a run. At the bat. prol)nlil>Naylor's pretty bunts, and his exhibition of base-running, were the featuresof, the game. Cordery did excellenwork behind the plate. Conley madesome dandy outs in the field, ancseemed quite ifp to his old form, Thenew inen showed up wfell in th& field,both Henderson and BrAwn acceptingsix chances. For the visitors, Prasohmade some pretty assists, and prevent-ed a larger score.' \

Our scoring commenced ii\the first,when a life, an overthrow, a^t, anda sacrifice tallied two. In -the tijird,

wo ej-rors were largely responsiblejar the five runs. _ Three- lnts_in— th''ourth only scored one. Three bits, atwo-bagger, and an overthrow scored'our in the fifth. An error, a bunt, amuff, and a caught fly drummed intwo in the seventh.

Wednesday morning the members ofthe congregation of Elwood BraiuardPresbyterian Church, and all citizensinterested in preparing the lot on whichit is to stand, assembled at the cornerof Union Ave. and County Roud, to

.participate in the exercises at the break-ing of ground.—As-Eider-Watson madethe first break in the.soil, the congrega-tion sang the Doxology, after whichRev. Mr. Tyler, of Ocean City, led ioprayer. Rev. G. \V. Juster, of the M.E. Church, then made a short address,after which one verse of "Nearer myGod to Thee" was -sung. Rev.- Mr.Tyler made a few remarks, and we weretold that the next in .order of exerciseswas the muscular act. The men andboya went to work with a will, to digthe cellar (each of tho ladies had a handio it, also), aud well earned the gooddinner which iho ladies prepared forthem and arranged so temptingly undertho trees. 'Twas not long, however,'hulbre everyone was running, plate inbaud, to find shelter from the heavyBhower that came upon them. Butthey were not to bo cheated out of theirdinner; tho tables wero ro-eut in thoempty Lieber house, and the men enjoy-ed their dinners as only men can whowork hard for it. f.

•« T seemed to mo I bad reached t£ejl end of my resources. Luck was"** ngalnst me. My political opponentlud snatched the hoqors for which. 1lad been striving for months from mylands at the very moment I deemed a•lucrative posltlon-rcontlngcnt thereon—safely within my grasp. Worst of'ill, this man had been hanging around•Mice's home, and her father, who thor-oughly understood my suit, had begun;o treat me coldly, 'and recently upon

, -jeveral occasions had asked Scovllle to•ihare hla box_.n.t the opera.

Scoyllle had several fine, horses on-the track—one In particular which had:ihorn the laurels from all competitors,lud only two days ago 1 had seen Aliceiklmmlng through the park behindthis very trotter and by the aide of j•8ert Scovllle. * j

It was a ridiculous thing to do, but Iifter rising late and a hasty breakfast, |{ hurried around to the stable, had toy-"horse harnessed up and was at Alice'sloor before 10 o'clock. Her father

I had, for the most part, kept Highbinder's training u secret from .thosiwith whom I should be likely to compete or make lay bets, so that they didnot know how well prepared I was t<cope with them They had seen butfew of my efforts upon my uncoutland vicious animal, and by these thejJudged me ns an "easy mark." I hocplenty of "takers." There was $10,OCHup on the ugly brute. I faced the «la;

aarly call upon his daughter.She swept Into the room—a beautiful

'tigress of a woman. In soft cascadesof lace"~ffBu" silk'and with" the flush of"

• the night's sleep still beneath heleyes

"Gracious me, Ted, so early In th«•morning! You look worried. How•gray those curls are getting each sld«of your forehead! Come, tell me whatit iaV" ' And she pulled the aforesaidcurls gently.

"It's no use, Alice, I'm down In luck.And I suppose your father has aboutbecome tired of looking for me to d«something. You are right to give mi'the shake and go over to Scoville."

"Now, what nonsense he's talking!n suppose you mean .the ride. Fatheri Insisted on my going. Buti've u"pla-n,Ted, by which we will circumvent'them all?" And her great goldenthrown eyes became almost black al•she looked at ine meaningly.

•"What Is It. Alice? For God's sakaapeak at once!" I cried, my faith re-stored, as I "drew her near to my chaliand clasped my arms loosely about helwaist. .•»'

"You see Highbinder," she sold"pointing to where my horse stood'hitched to tbe pavement, at the foolof the sloping lawn. Yes, I did sc(him. He was n young, largo-boned

•muscular, homely horse, who was a!•ugly ns Satan In looks and actions, but'•bo displayed an unlimited endurance,which Is an essential quality In a rac-ing horse. But whllo on tho race-course his temper was most viciousHo would blto and kick at any on«who approached him, excepting my-self; and lie often tried to run uwujoven while practicing on tbo turf. YofI always managed to keep control ofiilm, knowing that If I could ever get'blm under proper training, he had th<•endurance a ml; strength to win a raw

At. that moment Seovlllo drove slow-ly past with a5llgVt buggy and pairHo looked my horse over In a way thai

on which he was to make or ruin me,possessed alternately by fear and confl-dence. "

It was scarcely more than light whenI went around to the stables to lookhim over. As I approached them IWHS surprised to see Alice. In a severeblack riding habit that showed to ad-vantage the curves of her beautifulform, glide softly through the door asIf she did not wish to be seen, andmounting her own nervous prettymare, ride rapidly away.

"What did the lady want?" I ssliedof the sleepy groom, who was lazily-commoneing-hls-niornlng_d titles,—.

"Asked to have a look at your boss,1 — an' you said to always show herevery attention -wlipn slm ...imo T4ilg-thn she wont right inter the ugly crit-ter's stall!"

I turned pale. "Sly God. man. youshouldn't have let her do that."

"Well, she come out safe enough,didn't she?"

I turned away, at first a little puz-zled by her action. But then, Alicewas as much of a horse fancier as Iwas myself, and mu'st of course bo

'rived. As I stood In perplexity I hap-pened to look toward the grand stand.Allco wifs there In all her magnificenceand by her side Hut Scovllle, leering<!own_at me In the most contemptuousmanner. It was hard to tell whatAllco was thinking as her eyes restedupon me, for they were almost, cur-tained by tlie peculiar droop of thelids, which she affected when sue didnot wish to bo understood,

.The bell rang...'•1 don't see how you're going In .on

It—you can't get no one to drive thatboss," snld Scovllle's Jockey.

I' turned suddenly sick and dizzy.Presently I was seized with an Idea.

"I will find a Jockey:' hold back for afew minutes."

In a short .time I reappeared with aJockey's cap pulled well over my eyesthat no one should know me. Mv onljfear was In the weight I should putupon my horse.

At the word go, Highbinder took thebit between his ugly teeth and helddown to the work. He did., his levelbest, seeming to understand with bU-mail rntplllconpo whnt tgnahis effort He easily took Jhe lead, hla^ong, awkward limbs seeming to verl-:ably skim over the ground." Scovllle'sjorse forged ahead of the others, butic was scarcely beyond the three-qiiatv":er pole when Highbinder passed un-der'the wire. The shouting multitudewas scarcely more surprised than Iwas. As I with difficulty checked thenad pace of my horse, I heard Scovllleroundly abusing his Jockey for hishandling of his animal.

"You told me to hold him down, sir,In the first heat" responded the Jockey:n an undertone.

next -heat My poor borsc.had evident-ly expended all of Ills' reserve force,and we were;! ignomlnlously defeated.As I stopd -<ivlth despair and terror Inmy heart, Alice hurried past mo with-out speaking. - So this was the end foiwhich I had striven. She despised m«because I Bad displayed tho couragearoused by this greatest extremity ofmy life In assuming the habit of aJockey. She paused beside my horse,looking at him sympathetically. Hewas .covered with foam and perspira-tion, and his limbs were trembling.There \vas-a peculiar look -about - bisnostrils that Is .a sure Indication ofsomething radically wrong. • With aquick movement she took his head be-tween her hands. Before I conldspring forward and warn her away,she was gone.

I felt It would be useless to try thelast beat With Highbinder In his pres-ent condition, all was lost—hope, love,honor. There was but one. thing leftfor a man In my position.

Aa I stood with drooping head awoman's voice whispered In my ear,"Coward."—: :

threatening backward glance. "But;mind your P's nnd Q's!"

My eyes Bought Allcp'a fWo, It TOHBaglow as she turned to say something:o her father.

When we .were off again, Highbinderis before sped far In advance' of theothers, followed by Scovllle's horse,and the remaining competitors beingdistanced, gradually dropped out of;he race. As we entered the last quar-:er. Seov file's horse was left far be-ilud, but I feared thut Highbinder's

Spurred' Into anger aiid action 1 setmy teeth and gathered up the reins.She-should see. We would win ,or dieIn the track, even If she were to repu-diate the promised reward of my ef-forts.

The start was not very encouraging.Scovllle's outfit had no difficulty Inleaving my horse In Ae rear.* But aswe progressed, Highbinder seemed toslightly pick up his courage. He had

passed the first quarter. I felt that hewas gradually gaining momentum. Atthe half mite poat ho hnrttbe distance between him and his op-ponent considerably, although evennow the prospects were not reassuring.Upon entering the last quarter, High-binder laid back his ears and oncemore seized the bit between his--teeth.I wondered what was coming. Hegathered himself up and threw himselfforward at a pace that astounded me.He had reacned the rear of Scovllle'asulky—he had reached the horse'sniniprrhlfLjhoulder, his head—-they-were ne?k and neck. The goal vrasIn sight Within fifty feet of the wirethe old fellow made one unearthly ef-fort. The screams of the spectatorswere "deafening, and although I darednot look, 1 felt the entire multituderising to his feet. Highbinder pave asudden plunge and passed under thewire. Scovllle's horse was so closeupon him that amid the shouts of"Highbinder!" ."Highbinder!" a low

'buzz ot dispute arose,- and presentlyScovljle's lowering face loomed up be-foro me.

"You've lost!" he cried, excitedly."You've lost!"

Hut my attention was-dlvertod fromhim by my horse, who, staggering a

' l i t t l e to the left, reeled nnd fell dead.I was on my knees 'In n moment be-side him, oblivious to everything flat.un t i l I felt a little bund on my shoul-der and n whisper In my car.

"Ted. the race Is yours!"My only reply wus to point ot my

Mud Pies.Of all the enjoyment under the skies,'There's nothing so jolly as making mud:

plea.Prepare a nit-e siiiiifie. or snort, narrow

•plank;-Lay it carefully down on n bright, sunny

bank..Take the freshest of earth and the clean-

est of Hand,And niix thorn up thoroughly well with

your hnnd.Add a cupfu l of walcr, then stir with a

stick—A little more water if it seems too thick..Now take up a lump of this beautiful-

dough.About just enough for a mud pie, you,

know. , . .Eoll it softly around and give it a pat,Don't havt! it too humpy and yet not too-

flat.

Lay It down on tho board to bake in thesun-

Then make all the others jnst like thisone.

TThon sprinkle white sand over each little,cake,

And leave them about fifteen minutes tobake.

And when they arc done, you'll certainlysay:

"That's the most fun I've had for manya day." ' _, ,,

what the 'word nieann there would not bna dry eye lo bo found among all my readem. If ono could-say it as (Jod felt it they

-would bo-obliged to speak*the words will-sobs. Without Christ we arc lost. With-out holiness, by this I mean the old Saxonword wholeness, that man is not complctnwhatever .may be his natural qualificationsuntil Christ is his.- We arc lost to happi-ness. There-is no such thing as real en-joyment for the man who has pushedChrist out of his life. There tiro passingmoments o. pleasure, but abiding peace Isnot his. We are lost to heaven. It isnot possible to find a text of Scripture inwhich, there is the slightest indicationgiven, if th.ia text bt taken in its properconnection, which would indicate that aman may ever enter into heaven in anyother wav tlmn through Christ.

A mother took her little child into aneye infirmary in the city of Chicago. Whentbj> doctor had looked at the, eyes of thechild he pave the child back to" his motherand shook hin bend, and in answer to her

I inquiry said, "The chflS would be stone•pjlina in three monthn'i" She drew her lit-

tle one up against; her heart and then fellupon the. floor with a shriek, "My God,my baby blind," and this would be an awfui calamity, but then the Saviour hassaid, "It is better to be maimed and halland bhnd rather than to be lost," and

[-every one is lost without Christ for allsuch the Son of Man has come'seeking.

H .., •ZaccheiiB. When our Saviour stood,be-

neath the tree He looked up full in theface of Zaccheu8.,and said, "Come down,"and he cam'c down frdm'tlie sycamore treeand from his curiosity, down from hispride and his doubt, down 'to the feet ofJesus, and he found salvation. The beatthing that Zaccheiis ever did was to comedown, and so will it be for every one ofyou. What can I do to be saved? Someone la even now asking, and there is no jmore important question According tothe Scripture you can merely live becauseof ycjur good works, and while in the one"place it is jiaid.

"Workinu will not save me,Purest deeds that I can do,

Honeat thoughts and feelings, too,Cannot form my soul anew,

•Working will not-save me."We must first of all come down if we

would be saved It ia only by childliketrust in Him and absolute confidence'inHis word, that we pass from death to life.With some there must be a coming downfrom pride. We muat reach the placewfiere we will not fear what the world willsay.

A young man in a formei- congregationpromised me that he would give up gamb-ling and accept Christ He assuredme that his difficulty was hisevil 'companions, and he would neverbe able to live a Christian life untilht coaild leave them. Ho was afraid otwhat they would say. but at last gave mebin promise that he would confess Christthe next morning. With one of hisfriqndswhose influence over him was always badhe walked to hia place of business the nextmorning, trying all the way to make hisconfession, until nt last the store wasentered and the words were not spoken.Kiniilly by great effort he made, hia wayinto tlic/itore. called his friend hack andsaid, "1 have made up my mind to be «Christian, and unless you will go with me1 nlnili have to part company with you."Teni'H cnme into his friend's eyci* and hesaid, "It is tlie beat thing you ever did; inthere any hope for me."

WOMAN'S DRESS REFORM.

Ohio Physician Hcnda a Crusade foia Simple Garb

Dr. Clara W. Bruce, of CincinnatiO., has set out to reform woman1!taste in the matter of gowns. If she sue

"What I proposeto do," she says. Ine x p l a i n i n g heischeme, "la to In-augurate a plain,

Some women tell me they pay morefor the trimmings of their dresses thanfor the dresses themselves. Then whenwe adopt a gown we will stick to thatstyle and will, stop' the foolish prac-tice of throwing away good clothes be-cause they happen to be a.'llttle out otfashion.

"In fact, we propose to make ouiplain, simple gowns fashionable. \V<nre forming a league and, will hav«budgi's something similar to those woreby the VV. C. T. U. \Ve will let peopl«know that we are not bound down bjthe conventionalities that now oppressthe human race. Membership In thileague will be free, although eaclmember will have to buy her owibadge.

I think thnt I will be able to geiup n gown thnt won't cost more thaiDO centa. and. certainly not more thar75 centH, and will be nice enough foianyone to wear.

Saturday. The way the visiting teamjuggled, and muffed tho poor ball, and'slammed'It anywhere,—it waa'a wear-iness and vexation to watch. Howthey escaped' with only five errors totheir credit on the score- !

Well, our fellows did ploy prettygood ball; only Brown's playing was.a little erratic at times, but he bad anunusual number of chances. Setleyaccepted ten chances at second, in anerrorless, game. At the bat, Ham-monton did wonders,—23 hits! yheycertainly played a slugging game.Conley made a wonderful record—7bits and 6 runs, with four put-outs.His catch of Rheinhold's fly, in theeighth, was good. One of the prettiestplays of the season was Brown's stopof Garrett'a drive, in the fifth, con--neeting with second and first for adouble play. " _ •

The Facts in the Case.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN : Please allowmo to reply to your article in lastIssue, referring to the npeak easy.

Sunday evening, Aug.mb, MarshalMyers received a ca,ll from tho son ofMr. Fred Warner, .that an officer .waswanted at Dr. Cunningham's. Mr.Myres went there and found a maasitting on the porch, but could get noinformation. He then asked one ofthe doctor's family what .was wanted ;the answer came, after!consulting thedoctor, that "the doctor is able to takecare of this case." Of course the Mar-shal went away.

On my arrival in town on Monday,about 6.30 p.nf., the Marshal advisedme as to the above occurrence. Thatevening I revived a letter from a veryprominent citizen, informing me,among other things, of a stabbingaffray the day before ; also of a speak-easy on Middle Road, "about one bun-dred miles from a bridge."

The "Speak Easy" Case.

EDITOK REPUBLICAN :The recent binding of a party to

appear before the grand jury for Bellingliquor without a license deserves moreattention than is given by those inter-ested.

The supposition is that our TownCouncil should put an end to suchviolations of tho low. It may bo men-tioned tbat the present Councilman havedone nil within their power in thatdirection, i Tho difficulty la to securewitnuBBCB.. In the CUAO mentioned, Mr.Liilclielor w«8 compelled to sacrifice hisbuuinesa intercuts in Philadelphia, andtake upon himself considerable responsi-bility, tytr, Bnyer also gave a portionof hla time to secure the fuels.

One point which I wish to impressupon citizens is, that n Councilman Isnot a policeman. True, ho can makelurcBtH wliun violations como "under dinview," but it is not his duty to patroltho town. Any citizen can make com-plaints, und Imve warrants Issued lo

secured evidence tbat the injured manhad bought beer for five cents, but herefused to make complaint. I thenswore out a warrant, and went withConstable Rizzotte to assist in servingit- ___ We found the man,_and all wenlback to. Justice Garten's. The pris-oner plead "not guilty." We thenwent back to .the wounded man, andhaving found another man who hadbought beer, took both statementsunder oath. It being then about teno'clock, the case was continued untilFriday morning, by which time wehadj3ecureoLa-third-wituessrand-theaccused was committed for trial, taCourt. The witnesses were also heldin bonds to appear at trial.

From the facts related above, I cer-tainly believe that Town Council andJustice Garton worked hard on thiscase, and Committee lost no time, not^withstanding the inconvenience,— theprominent citizen refusing to give thoname of any witncas, and locating thespeak-easy "one hundred miles from abridge."

The fltabber would also have beenarrested if tho officer had been admit-ted at Dr. Cunninghain'H to make aninvestigation, as tho uccim-d wouldnot have had time to got away. Wuare making every effort to Hecuro thoKtubber, and hope to laud him yotthlh week.

Tho -"good citizen" mentioned inyour article Is pomflbly like the one Irefer to, and may bo the twine man.If any (jltl/.on will glvo the committeeany information, at any time, In anycam), It will bo thankful ly received.
