The matched game •of baseball between
he Ethel "Zebras" and the Jamestown
Willows" was a hot and closely contest-
ed game. Jamestown went to bat first
with Routley and Spence as the battery.
They were blanked in the 3rd and 7th
innings, but they more than wielded the
bat in the 4th and scored 10 'rens. Their
total was 22. Ethel took a strong loud

thegame, but were followed up closely
' during the match. They won, however,

He did extra good batting and thus ma-

A little boy, named Geo. Blashill, was
selected to draw a tioket out of the bag
and the number was ahnounced by 13.
Gerry as "383." There was a hasty ex-
amination of Haas by the bystanders

held this number but all doubt was set
aside on Wednesday morning when jas.

Washington Letter.

WASIIINOTOIt. 2F1, '80,
The President is very busy this WOG
getting his work oub of the way as fa
as possible that he may be freer to on
joy his vacation at Deer Park. Hereto
fore ho has been taking rest by snatohe
a day, two daysor three at a time. I
is only a few of 'these short trips, he has
been able to take. When he gets his
family to Doer Park he proposes to re
verso the order of things -to work by
snatches, He will come to Washington
only when duty demands. Duty may
bo more tyrannical and exacting than he
now expects, but he is looking forward
to spending most of what vacation he
can take in complete rest with his fem.
ily.
Representative Owens, who has just
oome in from a visit to his people
in Indiana, was at the White House
and had some very pleasant things to
say about the feeling in Indiana about
the administration. Ho says that there
was at first some discontent there 1,s.
°°10 they thought the President was
not making the appointments fast
enough •, but now they have some to
look at the situation differently. They
have perfeot confidence in the strong
common.aense of Gen. Harrison, and
see now that his polioy is the wisest.
They are content to abide by his action
and feel that the State may always tali"!
pride M the administration of her favor-
ite son. His course, they feel, has avoid-
ed any scandal that might have been
agitated by the partisan press bad a free
and liberal distribution of patronage fol-
lowed on his taking' his seat, In two
years they expect the country will con-
cede this to be one of the cleanest and
ablest admisistrations there has been.
The people of the State, Mr. Owen said,
feel that superior to patronage, personal
ambition for place. and all that, is the
sense that Indiana has a President
whose administration they may be proud
of.
"Well done, good and faithful serv-
ant," was never more promptly or sig.
nifieently spoken to the suocessful envoy
than it has been to William Walter
Phelps, whose return from his brief stay
in Germany as Samoan Commissioner is
greeted with so genuine a welcome from
his countrymen, and who bands to the
administration his accounting for a less-
er stewardship only to receive back his
commission for a greater one. This
could not have happened if Mr. Phelps
had not given satisfaction to his ohief
by his management of the trust com-
mitted to him. That he has done this
without raising any feeling of animosity
at the court of Berlin is also evident ;
for nothing should have been further
from Mr. Noble's desire than to have
him go back with letters plenipotentiary
if his relations with the German Govern.
mann were not of the most friendly and
agreeable sort. In his new position Mr.
Phelps will doubtless refresh and M-
orose the honors whicilt his former 5560.3'
In diplomacy brought to him.
Commissioner Tanner, of the Pension
Bureau, left Washington Tuesday night
for Ottawa, Hans., where, to -day, he will
deliver an address at the Chutauque,
Assembly, in session at that plaoo. He
will also speak at Crete, Nebr., on July
4th, and on the immediate days will
speak at Council Bluffs, Lincoln, possib-
ly at Beatrice, and Omaha, where he
will be the guest of Paul Van Derdort,
past commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The commis.
sioner bad declined these several invi-
tations on account of the pressure of
public business, but at the earnest solic-
itation of many prominent men of the
West finally accepted them. He is ex-
peoted to be absent from Washington
about ten days.
The commission of Commodore Sioard,
chief of the ordinance bureau of the
navy, will expire according to the date
of his appointment, although as it was
some months after the first of July
when his appointment was oonfirmed,
there is a question as to whether his
term will not run for a corresponding
tine. Applications for the plate have
already appeared. It is said that
among them are Captain Ramsay, in
charge of the New York navy yard
Captain Howiaon, chief or the steel
board; Captain Meade, in charge of the
Washington navy yard, ancl Captain
Folger, who is connected with the naval
ordnance shops here.

COMVY, nil) BATT. ) • ' * '
To.day was the route march througl
along Adelaide street fo Queen's Avenue
to the Park. Thee along Maple street
morose the bridge out into the township
of Westminster, then hack to the eity
along Dundee street and Richmond to
.the camp grounds, altogether about 5
miles. Most of the boys wore pretty
tired after the march, chiefly owing to
the very muddy and rough state of the
roads but consoled themmetves in think.
ing that all the marching was over. It
is very probable that quite a numbsr
would have been suddenly taken ill, for
next day we found out that another
march longer and worse had to be again
taken. On the whole this was very un-
popular as a great many citizens expeot.
ed a big review on the camp ground and
came in thousands to see it but found
that they were more than Sao miles from
the scene of action.
The battle was planned very badly.
In the first place there was no mean g of
retreat left in cage of a defeat, And,
again, the charge looked a good deal like
the famous charge of the Light Brigade
as far as cannon directly in front point-
ing from the hill when all would have
been out down. Nevertheless the boys
entered into the charge with bayonets and
the firing with as muoh earnestness as if
a whole nation was at stake, showing
that if our volunteers were called upon
for actual service there would be no
faltering. The men arrived at camp
much browned and dirty about six
o'clock after a very bot march home.
As is generally the case the last night
of camp is spent in rioting and revelry
but thit was an exception for with the
exception of a few bonfires nearly all
were asleep about midnight, Tents IMO
struck about 7 o'clock next morning and
in 15 minutes all were ready for the
march to the station.
Capt. Hays had made arrangements to
leave in time to catoh the afternoon train
at Listowel but as usual we were delay-
ed at every point which caused a good
deal of uneasiness to the boys for they
fully expected to be left in Listoweb till
the night train, but 011 arriving at the
above station quite a change came over
them on seeing the train waiting and
now "Home sweet Home" was sung with
much pleasure.

A 'Grangers' Meeting.
A large and influential meeting, under
the auspices of the local Grange, was
held at Fordwiob, Huron, on Saturday
of last week. Peter Hepinstall was the
Chairman, and opened the proceedings
with an exoellent speech. The place of
meeting was crowded, and the utmost
order and attention manifested. Mr.
Drummond acted as Secretary.
Mr. Glendinning, Secretary of the Do-
minion Grange, addressed the audience
with referenoe to Grange mattere. He
sketched the inception of the Grange
movement, and showed the great use it
had been to the farming community.
Among other items he took strong
ground that Granges, rabbet than busy
themselves with buying goods cheaply,
which could in many instanoes be fur-
nished for them to nearly as good advan.
tage by the local storekeepers, should en-
deavor to aid the farming community in
matters of legislation, in which direction,
he abed varione instances to prove, they
had been very powerful ; also an 'natters
of social improvement, and in all affairs
of advancement in farming methods, and
in the many subjects of practical interest
in the agricultural life. Ho sho,ved plain-
ly that the Grange meetings, taking plsoe
as they did over the whole conntry, fur-
nished opportunities for farmers to meet
and discuss advantageously, in a quiet
way, neighbors with neighbors, the var-
ious points oe which benefit could be ob.
tained by mutual consideration, in a
manner which larger meeting, held at
central points, and addressed by promin-
ent speakers, could never afford. The
absorbing of their efforts in goods buying,
he considered, had in many cases made
them enemies among the regular trades.
men of the neighborhood, and had also
had the effect of giving them inferior
men as managers, as buy and influen-
tial farmer', whose aid. in other matters
would have been most valuable, could
not be induced to spend eo much of their
time in Grange business as the buying
and distribution of a multiplicity of goods
would demand. Altogether, the speech
was all excellent description of the Grange
movement, the good it had done, and the
benefits which might still be expeoted
from it, and was receiver' with great
favor by the audience and a vote of thanks
unanimonsly passed.
Mr. Phipps, the well-known Forestry
Commissioner of the Ontario Govern-
ment, next delivered a powerful and very
instructive spaeoh in the interests of
forestry. He pninted out the great need,
in the position in which most sections of
Ontario now found themselves, of mov-
ing at onoe in the direction of preserving
portions of forest yet standing, and
creating numerous windbreaks and plan.

Mr. Phipps partionliirly dwelt on the fact
