Wankeyan Gazette, Monday, Aug 27: Yesterday Atty. John Pope was with Alderman Hart at Fox Lake, and a lit­ tle trouble with the batteries of the auto made it look for a time as if they could not get back to town last night. As he had a case in court today, Mr. Pope felt he must make certain of get­ ting home, hence be decided to go to McHenry and then into Chicago, fie took a bits for McHenry and then a train to the city, not willing to trust, to the machine. He went via train and immediately afterward the machine was fixed up and the occupants came to town all right. They made it a point to get to the train and met Mr, Pope there and touh him home. The lnugh was oti faith, for tbey had bfcea in town a long riulp before hia train pulled in. #Mr. Pope must have read about recent auto troubles and that cauAed him to put distrust is the cars as means of Con­ veyance.

Bishop shipped another carload of wagons to Dakota last, week. We learn that a daughter of Wm. Tonyan had the misfortune to break her arm on Monday evening last. Dr. Fe- gers was called and she is now doing as well as could be expected. We learn that Mrs. Clark, sister to Mrs. Stebbins and H. E Wight man, died lit Kansas City last week. We unders*an.' that she has been a snfferer for a good many years. Mrs. Stebbins was with her about * week before she died. - '• • The uian Chapman who we reported last week as passing himself off as a detective and who was arrested by the landlords of the Parker House and lodged in Woodstock jail, had a hearing at that place last week, and settled the matter by paying all damages and costs and was released. The horse of Rev J. W. P. Jordon, while crussiug the iron bridge on Satur­ day evening, was frightened by the blowing of the whistle on | the steam­ boat, and ran fway. Mrs. Jordon and "Will," who were in the binggy, were throwu ont, and although considerably bruised and shaken up, fortunately es caped severe injury. This accident proves what we have said before, that our strain boat landings are in the wrong place. The blowing of the whis­ tle or even the escs pe of steam is liable to frighten horses while crossing the bridge, and the approaches to the bridge are such that an unmanageable team is liable to do great damage and endanger the life of the driver.

McHenrV "Ptek-Upn" Go to MMlMr|h apd Pat It All Oy«r tk« Gray* of that PliM-Oiher Note** That the McHenry Blues can be classed among the leading teams out­ side of Chicago has been proven beyond a doubt by the result of last Sunday's game, when the looals won over the fast Fuqua Giants by the score of 5 to 2. . The visitors came to town with as strong a team ^s the Bines have been obliged to face this season, but the sturdy localB again proved they were equal to the occasion by taking their opponeuts into camp tyy the above men­ tioned score. The game was a pretty one to watch, enough good fielding and timfely hitting making it most interest­ ing to the spectators. To the fielding stunts, Barton, of the visitors, contrib­ uted six clever put-outs, covering the left garden in a manner that was highly pleasing to all. Barton is probably one of the best all-round colored ball players now in existence, his Work of last Sun­ day being exceptionally fast and accu­ rate. Besides his cleyer fielding he is credited with a single, double and tri­ ple out of four times at bat--in fact, half of the visitiug teams' hits were made by him, his three bagger also being responsible for their two tallies. The visitors' two scores came in the eighth inning and were registered in the following manner: Prior put a hot one to Bending, which the little fielder failed to gobble onto. Irwin was hit by a pitched ball and with two men on bases and no one dead, Barton stepped to the plate with tfae best willow in the lot. If there was ever a man whom Weber feared it was the man uow facing him, bnt it was of no n«e to worry, as worry would only serve to make mat- ters^worse. The pill was handed ont to the batter, who, with a wild swing, counected with the sphere for three bases, the hit scoring both.base runners. Here is where the fans began to get nervous, fearing that the hit was the startiug of a tremendous batting rally; but the crowd was somewhat relieved when Hay nee lifted one out to center field, on which Barton onght to have scored, bnt did not, this being the only poor piece of work executed by Barton during the contest. Brownie flew out to third and Kennedy was retired on strikes. This was all the scoring ac­ complished by the visitors during the entire nine innings of play. The visitors had but one other chance to score duriug the game, the opportun­ ity presenting itself in the third round. Crittenden was passed to first on being hit by a pitched ball; Fuqua struck out and Prior came up with a neat single, advancing the base runner a notch. Irwin Btruck out and Barton singled to right. Cash, by a quick and accurate throw to the plate, oanght Crittenden (who was trying to soore on the hit), near the rubber. , The locals started their run-getting In the third round, after Bowler and Web­ er had each teen retired by Barton on high boys. Boeworth connected for single and stole second, came home on Scully's hit and in an attempt to catch the base runners the colored boys threw the ball all over the lot, the result being that both runners were safe at home. Bending flew out to left field and the inning was over. The Blues made awful attempts to score in the fifth and sixth, but were prevented from doing so by some sharp fielding on the part of the visitors. The lucky seventh was opened up by Weber, who flew out to Barton. Boeworth hit safely and stole second. Scully was pot out via third to first, but made the round of the baoes and also scored Bosworth on a hit over second. The fielder, in an attempt to field the ball, slipped and fell, the ball bounding over him, the hit, of oonrse, then prov ing good for the circuit. Ulrioh hit safely, stole second and was brought home a moment later thru Felti'i neat single Cash made the third out by fly ing to pitcher.

They play the game from beginning to end and never give up until the last man has been retired, no matter which way the score stands. Freund, their south-paw twirler, is a comer, and, bar­ ring accidents, will make a good twirler some day. With a trifle better control he could doubtless have held down the McHenryitee to a much smaller score. The Chicago White Box pitcher, who dished 'em out for the Greens, made a hit with the spectators, he having some thing lees than twenty strike outs to his credit, only one of the opposing batters finding his curves to any advantage. Had he been given the proper support the game would have been an easy shut­ out, but as it was, the Grays succeeded in scoring four runs thru some comical bits of fielding. There is, of course, some excuse for this, as this was the first time the Greens had played togeth­ er this season. Considering this, as well a* the fact that two or three of the players had not played in a real game this season, the Greens are deeerving of all the glory that aooompanied the victory. GAME NUT SUNDAY. The Chicago Bloomer Girls Wltl "be the attraction at the baseball park next Sunday afternoon, when they will meet the loci I team in what promises to be the most exciting game of the season. The Bloomer Girls have made a tour of the states and haye been very success fnl, to say the least They play a good game of ball and will give the loads plenty to do to win out. They have in their line-up some of the best lady ath­ letes in thie world and it will be well worth the price of admission to see them play the national game. Remem­ ber, it will be the girls vs. the men. It is needless to say that the management of the Bines has gone to a great expense in bringing this great team of women athletes to McHenry. so a good attend­ ance is desired. Let everyone turn ont and witness the contest. Game will be called promptly at 2 45 p. m. General admission, 25 cents; ladtea an&ehildreto, 10 cents. NOTES FOB FANS.

A "pick-up" team, composed tnoatljr of old McHenry Gretfns; went to Johnsburgh last Sanday and thtlre de­ feated the locald by a score of 8 to 4. It is needless to aay that it was a tbf} disappointing gatue td the Johnsbttrgb team, as their intentions were to defeat the Greens, and then come down to Mo- Henry and trim up the Blues.

They recently operated their scheme suocessfnlly in Cincinnati The men are well dressed, one of them wears a Masonic emblem. They have a olever way of operating. One of the men' enters a place of business and makes a small purchase, tendering a $10 bill in payment. He secures bis change and walks out A few minutes later his pal enters and makes another small purchase, giving a $1 bill in payment Vt ben the change comes back he says, "Why that was a $10 bill I gave you.' To this the clerk or proprietor general ly replies, "No, sir, it was a $1 bill." "I tell yon, elr, it was a $10 bill. I am positive, because it was all the money I had," insists the sharper. The trick ster says he will not be picked out for a mark and calls for the proprietor or manager. The transaction is explained to him. Then be says to this proprie­ tor, "You can soon convince yourself by looking in the drawer, if the hill has not been given ont in change. I want* ed to remember a telephone number this morning, and, not having a scrap of paper with me, I marked the number on the bill. Look and see if yon have not got a $10 bill with *Canal 6$79>G' on it. That is my bUl." The propria* tor finds a bill marked ia saactly that manner.
