Base Ball Notes.
There was a good crowd out last
Sunday evening to witness the game
of ball between the Willis A Sullivan
team of Galveston and Alvin first
nine. It was an Interesting and well
played game ail through the nine in-
nings. The score was 9 to 6 it favor
of the home nine. Batterries: For
Alvin. Vandenberg and Steele; Wil-
lis A Sullivan. Raizman and Reed-
ing.
Manager Robert Floyd took his
famous club, Floyd's Gypsies, down
to Arcadia last Saturday and cleaned
up the first nine of that towr by a
score of 8 to 5. When the Gypsies
landed art the train, the Arcadia
team, which was composed mostly
of grown men, seemed to be rather
inclined not to play a team of such
small boys, but Manager Floyd con-
vinced them their size was all right
and if they had any larger players
hanging around there anywhere to
trot them out, for they would surely
need them. And as the score stood
8 to 5 at the end of the gams, it
seemed he knew what he was talk-
ing. Floyd’s Gypsies are the ‘hot
mustard," and will play anything
that calls themstives ball players.
The Chautauqua Assembly.
The first session of the chautau-i
qua assembly was held last Tuesday
afternoon in the skating rink build-
ing and was greeted by a large con-
course of people both young and old.
The program previously announced,
interspersed with home talent, ha«
been carried out to ths letter, and
every one so far is highly pleased
with the enter ainments, as they are
instructive, in: cresting and amusing.
The first day was Fanners’ day,
and the program consisted of music
am! cartoon lecture, illustrated by
rapid drawings, by Chas. F. Stalker,
the cartoonist. Mr. Stalker is an or-
ator as well as an artist, and his lec-
ture was well received, and his
drawings afforded much interest r<>
the older people, and amusement for
the younger ones.
Wednesday was Texas day, and
the main attraction lor both after-
noon and evening sessions was the
Howard Payne quartette, which cap-
tured the large audience present with
their ffne music.
Yesterday, Thursday, was Sohieska
day, and the two entertainments con-
sisted of vocal and instrumental
music by home talent, recitations by
Mis- Edna Nash Thompson, and in
the evening Count Sobieska deliv-
ered his famous lecture—“The Rise
and Fall of the Polish Republic,
and the Struggles of her people for
Freedom,- which was very interest-
ing and instructive, and listened to
by an appreciative audience.
This is Educational day. and the
program this afternoon am! to-night
will consist of music and costume
lecture by Miss Frank Miller. Sat-
urday is Beu Hur day, and as most
people have read Ben Hur. them
will no doubt b<- a large audience
present to witness the great story of
Gen. Lew Wailace, by illuminations |
and illustration-.
Prohibition day and Sunday's en-
tertainments will also be interesting
days.
The local management express
themselves as highly pleased with
the interest taken by the people in
the Chautauqua meetings, and that
the first annual session of the Alvin
Chautauqua will a success, has
already been assured.
