Andbesides the circus doing a nice busi-ness, all our business men enjoyeda nice trade. In the afternoon sever-

al thousand people packed the tent,

and standing room was at a premi-um. In the evening the tent was

over two-thirds filled. The circuswent from here to West Union.

time league base ball players of De-

corah were defeated by a score of

10 to 11. But we are told therewas nothing to it, and that the oldtimers were rightfully and honestlyentitled to the long end of the score.Well, after looking over the follow-ing line-up, Ben Keefe, c; CharleyBloomfield, p.; T. J. Qualley, Ist.:Ole Marsh, 2nd.; G. F. Baker, 3d.;

(’has. Marsh, ss.; E. R. Haines, If.:B. B. Morss, cf. and Dr Conover, rf.;we concluded that no other team on

the face of the earth could beat sucha lineup, and we are willing to givethem the game. We understand thata scout from the New York Giantswag he.le last week looking oversome of the material. But he didn'tsay whether he wanted them to playball or not.
