TWENTY-FOUR HOURS ON EXCURSION TRAIN

Twelve Hours Going and Same Returning From Louisville—2l7 Out of. Rensselaer. The Louisville excursion proved the biggest drawing crowd that the Monon has run for a long time. When the train left Rensselaer at 6:30 Sunday morning it had 217 passengers out of this city and surrounding country. It is said thpt sixteen others missed the' train because they overslept. Those who missed the train seem to have the best of the bargain. The train met Up with one delay after another, due to the immense crowd that took passage on it. Rensselaer was not the only town where the excursion did a big business. There were 165 out of Monon, while all down the line they came in large bunches. The train became so heavy that it was finally cut in two sections and ran for 'some distance, when one of the engines got into trouble and the two trains were again made into one and the twenty-one coaches proved a heavy load and the train did not reach Louisville until 5:30 o’clock. It left there at about 11:30 that night and arrived here at 11:30 this morning, bringing back 217 of the sorriest looking excursionists since the French Lick excursion of last year. Notwithstanding the delays going and coming most of the patrons.of the excursion said they ha<} enjoyed themselves and were glad they had made the trip. The Eastern Star Club will meet Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 with Mrs. Mary D. Eger. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Snedeker were visited over Sunday by her brother, V. C. Loos, and her nephew, Roy Loos, of Athens, Ohio, who stopped off here on their wtfy to Chicago, where they will attend the national convention of jewelers, in which business they are engaged.

MANY AT FOUNTAIN PAUL ON SUNDAY

Four Thousand Paid Admissions— James E. Watson’ill and Unable to Fill Engagement. Pour thousand paid admissions at Fountain Park Suflday g\ve the record crowd for the year and one of the largest sessions in the history of Fountain Park. James E. Watson, former congressman from the sixth district and the republican candidate for governor in 1908, was advertised for an address, but he failed to appear, sending word that illness made It impossible for him to leave his home. Of course, the large crowd was greatly disappointed as “Sunny Jim” is an orator of great power and it was expected that he would have something to say about Colonel Muymll and the charges the latter made against Watson in the congressional investigation of lobbyists. Rev. DeWitt Jones, the platform leader, delivered an able address in his stead, and the large audience was well pelased. . A correspondent writes from the park as follows: £ “We are having splendid sermon lectures each morning by Rev. Jones. They are full of pathos and power. They are surely worth making a strenuous effort for anyone to come and hear them. They are the strongest feature, of the magnificent program. A splendid audience greeted the Innes band last Thursday, the auditorium being packed and apparently hundreds on the outside. It was a great May in the history of Fountain Park. On Tuesday and Wednesday James Allen Rice gave two powerful lectures on the subjects: ‘Man of Mammon’ and “Social Parasites.’ They proved of vital interest, questions of the hour. The liquor traffic, child labor and equal suffrage. He believes the ultimate overthrow of the liquor traffic will be accomplished when the Christian manhood of this country will stand hack of the body politic and through equal suffrage. Four million women already have the right of the ballot.” Tuesday is Hiawatha Indian day. Wednesday Miss E. Virginia Kessler will deliver lectures and the DeKoven Quartette will also be present, and Thursday is Old Settlers’ Day. Miss Kessler and the DeKoven Quartette will again compose the program. Friday Elmer Ward Cole will lecture in the afternoon and Jliss Kessler will again deliver readings both afternoon and. evening. The Giersdorf Band, Orchestra and Concert Co., will also he on hand and remain until after the close of the assembly next Sunday. Saturday evening Byron L. lick will de-

BEATEN AT MONON BY 5 TO 2 SCORE

Umpire and Errors Contributed to Defeat of Athloties in Gamo Sunday Afternoon. “Ball one; ball two; ball three; ball four!” Umpire Dan Fairchild balled things up so hadiy Sunday afternoon at Monon that the Athletics did not have a look-in, notwithstanding the fact Clark was pitch* ing airtight ball and only five of the Monon-Gary-Attica combination connected with his delivery. At the same time the Athletics were -accumulating seven hits, enough to have won with an even break with the umps and some better fielding. Parks made a costly error In the fourth inning after two had been hipped and two passed per D. Fairchild’s easy conscience. They advanced to second and third by the purloin route. The next man should have been an easy out, Park* to Dad, hut after Parks had made a good stop and was ready to throw the ball he' dropped it and both men crossed the rubber. Jess Wilcox made four good catches in center field, two of them of the circus variety. He also planted a good 2 bagger to right field. Elder and Swartzell each hit two baggers also. Monon had the Gary infield, a man from the magic city at third, short,and first. They played splendid hall and done ail the important work. Mason, who caught for Rensselaer, could not cut off the second hag steals and this also was against the Athletics. Having played on the Monon team for some time, the Monon rooters were much pleased with Mason's inability to throw to second. They also tore Into Morgan, who formerly played with them, because he fanned three, times, although it took a big streteh of Ump Dan’s conscience to do it. The Athletics will play the same bunch at Monon Wednesday and expect to have a fair ebance to win with an impartial umpire. The summary of the game: MONON RHP 0 A E Engle If ...0 1 0 0 0 S.
