Before a large crowd of fans, the
j Brownies yesterday went down in
i defeat before the onslaught of the
mgsvme team, it was a ten in
king game, the score Deing 3 to 2.
rne game mignt well be styled a
tragedy of errors. The game was
characterized chiefly by its errors.
Although Browne held the visitors
down to two hits, yet, with his three
wild throws and wild pitch, Zacha's
three errors on third and "Possum
Bill" Taff's error on first, the visit-
j ors were able to cross three men over
'home plate and defeat the locals,
ilt seemed to be an off day for both
j Browne and Zacha, who did not play
J up to their standard at all. Bone-
headed playing on the part of the
Brownies also helped to lose the
game. Canine, tue slab artist for
the visitors, held the locals down to
five scattering hits, although he was
rather liberal in issuing passes,
handing out four during the
game. He was the only ivingsville
player, however, who had a hit
chalked up to his credit, he making
two. Krinsr. at centerfield for the
j visitors, played a good game, but was
weak with the stick. The Brownies
have to admit that Kingsville has a
Igood ball team, however. The Kings
jTille boys are swift runners and every
man on the team is a ball player.
The Brownies made one run In the
first inning and another in the 6th.
while the visitors made two m the
6th the inning of bum playing on
the Brownies part and one in the
10th. In the absence of Cobolini,
"Possum Bill" Taff held down first
base. The score:

GRAND BALL AT
POST LAST NIGHT.
One of Most Successful and Enjoyal)lc
Features of the Three Days'
Celebration.
The first of the three days celebra
tion was brought to a close by the
ball held last evening at the hospi
tal building in Fort Brown.
Thither in the moonlit evening
trooped the fair maids and matrons
and gallant cavaliers of Brownsville,
reinforced by many guests from
neighboring towns. In addition to
the dancers were many more who
went but to look on. These thronged
the wide porches of the building and
overflowed on the lawn. So great"
was the crowd in the hall, that. in.
the beginning dancing was almost im
possible, while so many were packed
around the entrance at times that it
was aimcuit to enter or pave the
. - vuu
room.
On the outside, the scene was in
teresting the porches crowded with
people close packed around the long
low windows, sitting, or standing on
the tables that had been used at the
barbecue at noon; out in front, the
blaze and smoke from the long pit
over which even then the meat was
cooking for today's feast; while be
tween and beyond, wandering over
the old parade ground so full of
memories of the dead past, wer& the
figures of maids and men, thinking
not of the brave old days of Fort
Brown, but rather with minds and
hearts, intent upon the pleasure of
the moment.
Over all shone the wondrous tropic
'moon, pouring its silvery light into
every nook an dcorner, throwing over
the scene the glamor and romance
of a night out of fairy-land.
The music by the Regiment band
from Matamoros stationed in the
South veranda vjas inspiring and
dance-compelling. Promptly; at nine
o'clock at the wave of the' leader's
baton the band crashed out the open
ing bars of the 23 rd Regiment

The little Catholic chapel at Po'ut
Isabel was almost wrecked, one side
being torn out entirely. All win
dows smashed the front door blown

oughly watersoaked. Another build

The rainfall averaged, from four
to eight inches throughout the valley.
Only a few of the outlying ranches

of these doubtless oirns, and other
outhouses, etc, have suffered. Maay
windmills were laid iow by the wind.

BROWNSVILLE AVAS
GREATLY DISAPPOINTED

sentative this morning, Capt, Geo. J.
Head who had charge of this matter
and who made the arrangements for
these distinguished Texans to be
present, stated that Senators Culber
son and Bailey notified him that ay
were unable to attend on &ctGtn&
of congress being in- session. When
they had accepted the invitation to,
be here they thought that congress,
would adjourn before this time. As.
to Governor Campbell, Capt. Head

saw the Governor personally and Gov
ernor Campbell had accepted the in
vitation and assured him that he

he would be here, but he has not as.
