About .450 people from Malone to Cbamplain took advantage of the low rate excursion Thursday to witness the ball game between the Malones and Plattsburgh, at Clinton Park, near Platts- burgh village, last Thursday, 172 of whom were Malone rooters. The excursion also took a big contingent from Ghateaugay, whose sympathies have been with Platts- burgh ever since the memorable base ball summer of 1896. Their sympathy was so open that nobody could mistake where the Chateaugay men stood. A number of them were seen supporting badges on which was printed: \Chateaugay thinks you're ail right, Plattsburgh..'_'._They were heavy mourners on the return trip, for the Malones \socked it\ to the \Lake ^eam\ by a seese of 17 to 5, and there was absolutely nothing left to brag about. They could not even lay the result to the umpire, aod^ffered no explanations, but some who were less controllable than those who accompanied the excursion vented their spleen against the Maloneites on the arrival of the train at Chateaugay by throwing stones and other missiies into the cars, a very serious offence for a thoughtless one. Our boys were of course brim full of enthusiasm on arriving there and celebrated a little with fireworks and cannon crackers during the train's brief stop—a very - natural thing—but they met with a very unnatural reception. When the Potsdams won a game in Ma- lone a couple of weeks \ago they rooted, tooted and celebrated to their hearts' con- tent. Our boys met with a royal recep- tion as the train rolled into Malooe, for this was the deciding game in the series with Plattsburgh, and brought A very pleasant ending of the base ball rivalry which sprang up between the towns a few years ago. Torpedoes banged, red fire burned and the band played \A hot time in the old town tonight.\ A mob of rooters brought a wagoa, in which the Malone players were placed, and hauled it with ropes around the town. It was a decidedly hot and enthusiastic time—and it was justified, for Plattsburgfa sports had put up $150 to import a couple of winning pitchers, one from the Albany league team, and our boys in the fourth inning had batted him out of the box. Another was substituted, but his curves grew easy in the ninth inning and the Malones batted the. bail alL over the lot, winning nine scores. - Ic is said that con- siderable money changed hands. Dick Agon umpired to the satisfaction of every lover of the game, and Plattburgh was outplayed at every point. It was a loose contest on Pittsburgh's part and lacked the evenness which instills interest to the end. It was witnessed by 2500 people, and won by the beautiful stick work and fielding of the Malones, only one error being made to Plattsburgh's nine. There were threw very pretty double plays: O'Brien to Gray, A Prowse to Gray toBelding,and Quigley to Blanchard. Wash burn struck out eight men, and Taylor, the Albany league pitcher, one. Pattie led the Malones at the bat, making four hits and six bases. The Plattsburgh Press says: \It might have been worse, but it is hard to imagine it, 3 ' but the QOOFO ohowa that it luulduU have bwu very much worse, by innings: Special Announcements.

The negro's ;ad struck his knee with such force that i was knocked unconscious. If Whitte- more hadn't ^braced himself he would have been knocked down, and yet the Press thinks him almost guilty of manslaughter. Nonsense. Whittemore wasn't to blame because another player slid so hard that he bunted his bead into him. Seymour actually struck Dick Agon with his fist in a Plattsburgh game four years ago,and yet Plattsburgb- ers continued to lionize him. The street car service at Plattsburgh was very bad for so large a crowd after the game, and some of the Malone club, unable to get a hack, were obliged to walk a couple of miles to the village when they were very tired. Paul Smith's team defeated Plattsburgh Saturday by a score of 4 to 2, the visitors making their r^ns in the first two innings • •.. ! t j 'J. a i 8 ; 1 ; 1 ; o . o ! a ' IT j bead struck his knee with such force that ... . i 0 • 0 •) 0 I 0 i 1 \ 4 » 0 • 0 ! 0 : a MALONE VS OGDEXSBURG. The Ogdensburgs were again defeated by the Malones on the Malone diamond Friday by a score of 4 to 0. This is the third time that the Ogdensburgs have been shut out here and they also have been beaten three times on their own grounds by Malone. Ahorn and Rogers occupied ffie points for the visitors and Wilder^and Whittetnore for the home team. Eleven hits were secured off Ahorn, while seven were secured off Wil- der, who also gave seven passes to first, two of these being men hit by pitched balls. The fielding of both teams was very fast and sharp, especially on the Malone side. Three pretty double plays .were made dur- ing the game, two by Pattee, Gray and Belding and one by O'Brien and Gray. The visitors seemed to play in very, hard luck. Three times they liad the bases filled with only one cut, but Wilder had such splendid control that it was impossi- ble to run a score even under these cir- cumstances, A. Prowse did fine work with the stick, securing three hits oat of and drawing \goose eggs\ after that. The Plattsburghs made one score in the 7th and one in the 8th inning. The Greatest Fair Yet. One has only to look over the prospec- four times at the bat, one three-bagger, ! tus of the Malone Fair, to be held here bringing in one score, one two-bagger, bringing in two scores, and a single. Wilder also made a three-base hit and September 25, 26, 27, and 28, to discover that the management, which has already earned the reputation of putting op the brought in a score.

Our boys met their Waterloo Monday whpn t.h«qr_ran....'B.n against tfoe Syfa^nse league team which stopped off here one day on their Montreal trip. • The curves of Brown, the Syracuse pitcher, were puzzlers, and, to save their lives, they couldn't hit th« ball. He was so quiek too that they couldn't te$l- whether he was going to pitch to catcher or throw to first base, and, if by good fortune one got a base he rivited himself to it waiting for the safe hit which never came. After a strike Brown would send the ball flying again over the plate so quickly that they couldn't get the ball club up. This so unnerved them tfcat they did npt play half as well as usual and made errors galore. They were so clearly outclassed from the first that the realization of it made them helpless in the hands of their opponents. On the other hand the Syra- cuse men batted the ball all over the field, placing their hits just where they wanted them, and moved from base to base whether a hit was made or not. It is not surprising that the Malones proved no match for these professionals. Washburn was hit so hard that at the end of the fifth inning Wilder was substituted, who, as the score shows, held them down with a little better success.

The people at the time of the fire were sleeping and would have burned to death, if Dr t Buck, who.'Bad been on a midnight call, bad not noticed the fire on his return and directly given the alarm. The people had hardly time'to-get out before the roof fell in. \• Canadian statesmen are now consider- ing seriously the question of increasing the head tax for Chinamen entering Can- ada from $100 to $500. The matter has been several times broached before, but was disapproved by the people of the east- ern provinces. Now not much sympathy is shown them because of the Pekin out- rages and the head tax increase stands a better chance of being adopted. It would put a stop to Chinese smuggling on this frontier, because it would cost too much to railroad them through this way any An incident was recently reported to Superintendent of the Poor Morse from Reynoldston, in the town of Brandon, of a case of destitution a little out of the ordinary.
