Base Ball Team.— Reading in the
varions papers throughout tbe State
that several of tbe towns are to be
represented on the diamond with a base
ball team, bas somewhat enthused tbe
sporting blood of several of tbe players
of former Middletown clubs. They are
now beginning to talk among themselves
of organizing a nine of fairly good
players for this town, but at tbe pres*
ent time things bave not reached any
definite shape. Just at this time
finances and grounds are tbe main
drawbacks, but ti e latter will probably
not trouble tin boys as much as tbe
former. It is proposed, if suitable
grounds can be secured, to bave tbe
same fenced in and also erect a grand
stand. To do this and also to purchase
uniforms for the players, b-.ts. balls,
etc., will require a tit le money. How
the money will be raised is not known
but an entertainment or a festival m iy
be beid for two or three nights if tbe
money cannot be raised by public
contributions. As a good baseball club
Is a credit to any town tbe boys ought
to be greatly encouraged in the move
ment they pro.tose undertaking. If
organized a few outside players will be
required, and matches would be ar
ranged wLb clubs of equal strei gth
with tbe local one. During tbe belted
summer days our citizens could for a
few cen's apend many an hour wateb
I»« tbe boya exerting themselves en
deavortng to uphold the dignity of
^.Middletown. Help them along.

In other months we forget
the harsh winds of Spring, j
*But they have their
some say, to blow out the
bad air accumulated after
Winter storms and Spring
thaws. There is far
important accumulation of
badness in the veins and ar
teries of humanity, which
needs Hood's Sarsaparilla.
_rqat Spring Medicine clarifies
the blood as nothing else can. It cures
scrofula, kidney disease, liver troubles,
rheumatism and kindred ailments. Thus
it gives perfect health, strength and ap
petite for months to come.
Kidneys —"My kidneys troubled me,
and on advice took Hood's Sarsaparilla
which gave prompt relief, better appetite.
My sleep Is refreshing. It cured my wife
also." Michail Boyle, 3473 Denny Street
Pittsburg, Pa.
Dyspepsia - " Complicated with liver
and kidney trouble, I suffered for years
with dyspepsia, with severe pains. Hood's
Sarsaparilla made me strong and hearty."
J. B. Emebton, Main Street, Auburn, Me.
Hip Disease-" Five running sores
my hip caused me to use crutches. Was
confined to bed every winter. Hood's Sar
saparilla saved my life, as it cured me per
fectly. Am strong and well." Annie
