Amusement On King Route 1.
King Route 1, July 23. —The
game of ball played between Pin
nacle and Pink Grove was a very
lively and interesting one. The
features of the game were Baker's
long running catch in center field
and Johnson's good work in the
box. He kept them guessing
throughout the game. Had it not
been for errors on the part of Pink
Grove, and the catch and fielder
being absent Pinnacle would have
met her Waterloo.
On Saturday, Aug. 11th, the
members of the Mt. View Literary
Society will give a mock trial.
The case will be a capital one and
an interesting time is expected.
Let everybody come. Good musio
will be furnished and the lawn
will be lighted up with Japanese
lanterns. A potato race will be
held on the grounds late in the
evening. Balloons will be sent up
and there will be fun for all. Come
and bring your wife and children.
