The crowd cheered the gama at ovary good polat. Tbe Heaford'a bad lhair ground fecaed in and a grand stand is being built. The Q ilckstep club surprised two classes of people. Ooe was tbe Heaford club and tbe other, tbelr friends in Wilmington. Their friends here were a little sbaky on them on account of the way they played last Baturday. The Beaford boys are pretty good and they hnnw it and they looked with conti Irons towards an annihilation of the Wilmington colt*. The Qiick'tep beys felt this and they went down to tbe sand country with a grim determination to do or die, and they did. They left bare at 8 86 and were met at the station by President Oiiffcnburg of the Hr*fords and nearly the whole town, who gave them a rousing reception on their way up to tbe hotel. After eating dinner the boys were shown the town and arrived at tbe grounds about S o'clock. Here they found the iurlosure Backed and about one eut of every three persons was a woman. And tuch girl*. No ooe who has aot been down in Busses can appreciate Jur.t how pretty they are end juat bow entbuiiastic they are on bate ball matter*. Th*n the vonng men who constitute the Bei ford club are handsome boye and every one of them bed tbelr circle of admirers out to see tbs beating that the Wilmington boye did not receive. Bim Pennewlll, tbe second baseman of the Beaford, was the only one of the boys that got tbe smiles of those 800 ladies. The game opened at 3 30 with tbe Quick steps at the bat. Huey end Mahoney went out and Colline mads a three base bit and was left on third. The Beaford was quickly retired, lu the second tbs Quickstep made tbelr first run ; Walton was hit by pitcher, stole sec ond and came heme on a bit by Aiken.

After the B. & O office was shot up and without any pressure having been brought on them at all toe Wejteru Uuioa Cu. began to keep their offi-te o;ien until 1 a. m., and have done so since. This has oecre.itated tbe employment of an addi tion operator, the exp-nie it which, the company claim, is not justified by tbe amount of business done tf. er 10 o'clock. Therefore, Instead of tbe facilities being reduced after the clcsmg of tbe B. & O. office, the manager claims tbuy were in creased, and believe they are giving a flret o.'aat telegraph service. Tbe Western Union Co. has 100 wires running at the office at 31 and Market 8t*., SO to tbe north and 50 to tbe math. These are manned by a corps of careful and ex perienced operators and all bu-dneea en trusted to tbe office is handled with the utmost despatch The management alto claim that tha fa cilities of the oouipaoy which propoaet to open au office here are meagre and they do not believe that such a company can improve on the W. U. Service. lu regard to the call box system, it is said that it has been kepi In operation since the Baltimore and Ohio cloaed Its office and the reason for i ■ working as badly a» some complain It has Is on account of tbe storms during th* winter and lb* fact that whenever a tulldar flods a wire ia bis way he cuts it and throws it aside wilheut giving any notice at all the i ffi t*. Tbe break has then to be bunted up by tbe linemen and It sometimes takes an entire dsy to And It The active build fag operations In tbe city for tbe past three months, with the conse quent wire cutting, have handicapped the service badly. The mmeg.ment say that the call box system has never been abandoned since tbe B. &. O office was closed. It bee been kept in o|x>rallon, sub ject to such disturbance as mentioned. NKW TELlifiUfilMI.
