Walter Brookins Completed Trip From Chicago to Springfield. Automobiles are getting too slow and too common. The Wright biplanes look good to us. Walter Brookins, the aviator, completed his flight from Chicago to Springfield, 111., Thursday afternoon, consuming only 5 hours and 44 minutes actual flying time in making the distance of 188 Tfie elapsed time, including two Stops made to get oil, was 7 hours and 12 minuten. For this remarkable feat he received SIO,OOO. He left Chicago at 9:23 in the morning and made his first stop at Gilman, 111., at 11:30 for water, oil and gasoline. That was 80 miles from Chicago. He made his next stop at Mt. Pulaski, 111., 163 miles from Chicago, at 3:20, where he repaired a broken pump and also took on water, gasoline and oil. He remarked when he reached Springfield, “It was dandy. There must have been three-fourths of a million people looking at me between here and Chicago." Wilbur Wright, owner and maker of the machine, said, “I told you so.” Flying machines may be as common as automobiles in a few years. Mrs, L. H. Hamilton qnd daughter Marie went to Monon today, where each are taking treatment for the removel of goitrous growths of the neck.

Hugh Leave! had charge of the spread. A number of Remington Woodmen were on hand. The new or revised ritual work was employed in the initiation and when the work is learned by the team it will be a great improvement over the old. A number more will be taken in soon. E. W. Gwin has written to have his address changed from Sulphur to Middle Creek, S. Dak. He says, “We are enjoying good health and I believe all the former Hoosiers in South Dakota are also in good health. This country is settling up rapidly, some one living on almost every quarter. We, had a fine rain here Sunday night, the first for quite -a while. We have' had no crops here this year as it was so dry, but we are living in hope that next year will be better.”

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 80, 1910.

WRENS WON FROM WADENA IN BATFEST THURSDAY.

Lots of Hitting, a Dozen Errors and a 7-6 Victory Started the Horse Show Base Ball Series. The Wrens had a close shave getting away with their first ball game of the horse show series. Their opponents were from Wadena, a small town with a clever ball team. The Wrens presented a semi-professional aggregation that with practice would be about as good as anything in the semi-pro line this side of Oshkosh or the other side either. There were some real favorites in the line-up, which included “Father” McLain, who had been laid up for several weeks for a little rejuvenation, and who took his position behind the bat and caught a hard game, pitched by Lou Jensen, who had on a Wren suit for the first time. Lou pitched some gilt-edged ball, but the Wadena bunch don’t do much rusty gate swinging and they managed to get ten hits off him, but this number might have been reduced by a little sharper fielding on the part of some of his team mates. Lack of team organization was shown, some of the players having never played in the position before, as witnesseth the appended line-up. The visitors were lucky to get six scores and the Wrens were lucky that they didn’t get any more. The game was a teaser, one of those up and down affairs that keeps every one on edge until the ump has shouted the last man to the bench. , The scoring started in the third frame, when Morgan was jarred with a pitched ball on the spot farthest from the borte. He went to second on the first ball pitched and beat out a throw. Parcels sacrificed him to 3d and then Johnny Hanks put his Fond-dq-Lac swing on a straight one and planted it to right garden for 3 bags. Morgan, of course, crossed the home plate. Hanks died on third when Zellers, a recruit from Winamac, was thrown out at first.

Wadena came back in the fourth inning with three scores. McGraw hit to center and Hanks loafed a little and the fly caromed from his fingers. McGraw stole second and with one down Peck was hit by a thrown ball. Martin and Robinson both hit the ball and McGraw and Peck scored, although Peck would have been caught at third but for a wild throw Hanks made to third from center. He has been throwing to a tall third baseman end forgot himself for a disastrous minute. Martin got around to third and Robinson was nipped at second on Mead’s grounder to Parcels, which scored Martin. L. Sell went down from Jensen to Lakey at first. In the fifth inning the visitors scored another. McGraw forced C. Sell at second, stole second himself and came home on Champley’s hit. Champley was caught trying to steal-. It looked bad for the Wrens, but in the sixth they got busy and pushed their total up to 6. Parcels got a hit, Hanks a base on balls, Zellers hit and McLain hit. Jensen fouled out to Sell and Wilcox, Lakey and Swartzell all hit the ball. Some rooting upset the visiting pitcher ' and when the smoke cleared away the Wrens were on the housetop. Parcels led off with another hit in the 7th and Hanks planted a neat sacrifice. Zellers did the same thing and then Parcels did a very daring stunt. He pulled way up from third and when Sell threw to catch him, he dug out for the plate and reached it before the ball was returned. That’s the way the game should be did” and that score proved to be just what was needed to win, for the visitors went off in the eighth and made 4 hits and turned in a couple of runs, although the ump probably ilet one go safe at the plate that should have been called out, for Swartzell made a swell throw from right field that seemed to have caught Peck three feet off. That was all but a nightmare in the 9th, when after two were down Morgan fumbled a little grounder by C. Sell. Rowe hit and with these two perched on third and second, Hanks, who was on the rubber in the final act, struck McGraw out. Everybody knew they had been to a ball game.

Fine Show Draws Small Crowd on the Second Day.

The crowd at the horse show today was not large, being somewhat of a disappointment. The Show, however, was very fine, being for ponies and mules. All the Peck and Washburn ponies, a fine herd, were on exhibition. The mule entries were not so numerous as last year but the exhibits were very fine. The show Thursday was very classy. The driving animals were splendid and the contests were also fine. It was demonstrated that there are a number of expert horsewomen and the rivalry made it difficult for the judge, C. P. of Danville, 111., to select the winners. The prizes awarded since those announced in Thursday’s Evening Republican are: CLASS A. Light Harness Horses and Saddlers.

Fowler Republican-Leader. The White County Democrat uses letters as big as a horse’s teeth in telling how the old soldiers will get a dollar-a-day pension if they will just vote for John B. Peterson.
