A chance visitor to Shepherdstowr last Saturday afternoon, had he vnlk\! on High street in the vicinity of Shepherd Grade, would have ccme to the conclusion that a page or two of an old copy of Godey's Ladies' Book had suddenly come to life, for there appeared walking sedately down High street, a group of girls dressed in the fashions of two generations ago. These girl* . acted as mannequins throughout the afternoon at the Woman's Club exhibition of antiques, and served to accentuate the difference between the fashions of then and now. The old costumes they wore were extremely interesting. but they formed only a small part of the very creditable loan exhi | bit. It is impossible to give a complete \ list of all the articles shown and the names of the exhibitors, for each article proved to have a history and the poor visitor couldn't possibly remember all ' of them. It was noticed however, that there were relics of the early Revolutionary days, of the Indian, Mexican and Civil wars, as well as examples of the home industries, arts and fashions indeed I some of the relics antedated the Revolution, as witnessing the wedding vest of Dr. Nicholas Schell, loaned bv j Miss Sarah Shaner showed. | Then there was the silver gorget I worn by General Washington loaned by a member of the Goldsborough fam! ily. Among the other Washington 1 souvenirs was a picture of Washington's wedding, a piece of his coffin, and a tiny group of the Washington family playing chess. This last named article i was loaned by Miss Ella Kelsey. The ' picture was loaned by Mrs. Bragonier. incic were l*o oocumems siRned b\ General Washington, one conferrinR . commission on an officer in the Con1 federate army and the other conferrinR j the order of Cincinnatti. Other docu' ments that attracted attention were* a ! letter from the poet LonRfellow to Miss Amanda Titus and an imposing screed conferring on John Titus the office of Chief Justice to the State of Utah, containing the signature of Abraham Lincoln. Both of these documents were loaned by Miss Titus. Henry Clay's umbrella loaned by Miss Elizabeth White was there in company with President Jefferson Davis' smoking cap. Two ivory chessmen and a pike owned by John Brown were loaned by the Beckenbaugh's. A wonderful old melon quilt, loaned by Mrs. T. H. Davis, hung near crocheted and knitted bed spreads, and there were two gorgeous, home-woven woolen counterpanes, one of them bearing the date of iStS. The shoe buckles, stu.ided with brilliants, cnce worn hy Governor John Page, of Virginia, glittered in their velvet case under the electric light, till the eyes were glad to rest themselves on a wonderful cashmere shawl, a mandarin robe and Mrs. Hady's exquisitely embroidered white silk shawl. One exhibit which merited special | mention, as representing a great deal ' of time and patient personal effort, j was the collection of Indian relics, ; loaned and arranged by Mr Harrison ; Schley. It comprised skinning knives, I tomahawks, arrowheads, beads and ; pipes. There were also the following arti' cles: pictures made of si'k, pictures painted on glass, Chinese shoes for | bound feet, a pair of wooden clogs, a 1 carpet bag, a wedding bonnet and I stock of 180(5, handmade silver spoons, t loaned Dy Miss Powell, an old shell comb, a doll 72 years old, an ola christening robe, a collection loaned by Miss Ella Kelsev, consisting of old daguerreotypes, flowers made from human hair, and a wooden sander. Mrs. K?plinger loaned a pottery jar made by Atr. Wise at his shop here in town. Mrs. Crawford sent an exquisj ite wcdgewood teapot. Miss Powell and others contributed examples of old 1 lustre, English and Scotch pottery. The Misses Sheetz loaned a picture I of Shephcrdstown taken in 1868 and, oh, yes! we must not forget Stonewall Jackson's personal map of Virginia with pencil notations in his own handwriting. Airs. Crawford also loaned i a rare Cornwallis lustre pitcher. Airs. Pinkney Schley loaned among other things an interesting collection of old coins. Dr. Flickinger loaned some old b?>ks, among them an Eng! glish Catetmism, dated 1643 and a lish Catechism, dated 1643. Mr. Robert Gibson contributed a letter 1 front Stonewall Jackson to a Miss ( Grove thanging her for a breakfast she had given him. There were also I the old files of the Shephcrdstown Reg? ister, the earliest copy dated 1840. : Someone loaned some Confederate j money and pictures of Clay and Webster. There were several samplers, ' one loaned by Miss Annie Licklider, and some home-spun, hand-woven | linen. There were embroidered petti. coats and dresses, shaving mirrors and pieces of old chintz that had helped to decorate the bedroom of someone two 'generations ago. Mrs. George Billmyer loaned a sword carried by Major Hamtramck. During the evening some of our singers gathered around the ! piano and sang wonderfully sweet old songs of other days, and Mrs. Lee GoldsborouRh told the stor? of the music box that reached the bands of , its rightful owner just sixty years late. Altogether the exhibition was a notable event and we hope that it will be repeated. It is a matter of sincere regret to the writer that a complete list of exhibits and exhibitors could not be obtained, and she sincerely begs pardon for any and all omissions. ?M. R.

SHETHEKl) I OLLEtiE NOTES. i Shepherd College has struck its 1! stride, and in the last week annexed two wins. The first team to go down to defeat was the Frederick School for I the Deaf. Lefty Willis did the hurling tor the college outfit, and was in , rare form. He had the Maryland lads ij literally eating out of his hand. The i silentces put up an excellent show ing, i num.-rjus times executing snappy plavs ; that brought forth the appause of the spectators. Metty behind the plate for tnem was an excellent receiver. This > fellow did the '-ulk of the hitting for II his team, securing a single and a twobase wallop. As before stated. Willis 1 had everything on the ball. His con* , trol was perfect, and with his curves breaking on both corners of the plate : caused fourteen of the opposing aggre> gation to swing in vain. Newt McKce was the batting hero of the day I with two singles and a long two-base hit to deep center field. The final score wnc It In 1 I "" Saturday afternoon Harper's Ferry High School came to Shepherdstow n ' | and played the Y. M. C. A. team of Shepherd College, who easily won the game 10 to 1. Knodc was on the i mound for the Y and w as in mid-sea| son form, holding the lower graders | to two hits and one run. Some feat. Willis had better watch his position I with the regulars. Shipe, the speedy j first-sacker for the Y connected with I one of Storm's fast ones and slammed | it over the right-field fence for a home run. We think it rather nice that the j High School boys can retain such old '< timers in their outfit as Ungcr and Benjamin. However, thc Bridgeport i hurling ace put them to shame and made them look like their fellow class' mates. Tuesday afternoon the college boys journeyed to Winchester and tried conclusions with Peyton Marshall's team of S. V. A. Willis was slated to tw irl this game. He was evidently up against the real thing, as the score would indicate, it being 8 to 6. Shepherd College was the first to score, puixing across two counters in the first inning. They scored again in the third. S. V. A. retailiated in their half by tying the score at three all.. They counted again in the fourth, put-1 ting them |n the lead; They held this lead until the sixth, when the col-1 lege boys shoved another run across the pan. About this time some one cut the moorings of the balloon and as the college boys came to bat in the old "lucky seventh," the ascension began. Before it had entirety disappeared from view McKee, Walper, Carter and Harris crossed the coveted spot with four runs and the game. Willis, realizing the greatness of tho moment, turned on full steam and the S. V. A. lads were turned back in the one, two, three order. Willis had eleven strikeouts to his credit. Tabler was the amateur Babe Ruth of the festivities, garnering four hits out of six trips to the plate. McKee and Reinhart each had three out of five. It is a singular thing that the Shepherd College contingent decorated S. V. A. twice this season with the crown of defeat, inasmuch as S. V. A. applied the same cermonies to Randolph-Macon Academy, of Front Royal, who in turn defeated S. C. twice this season. The college team left this morning for a three-days trip through southern Pennsylvania. This afternoon they meet the strong Penn State Forestry team at Mont Alto. Friday they play j Cumberland Valley State Normal I School at Shippensburg, and Saturday ! they wind up at Gettysburg with the high school team of that place. Prof. W. H. S. White, president of Shepherd College, was called to West ( Union, this State, on Tuesday by the ; death of his uncle, Mr. Knight.

Tuesday evening Mrs. Schneider's story-telling clu1' had an I outing along the river. :?.?0 ? Shepherd College Club. The Shepherd College Club, of West !
