An Excellent Player Captured by the Na-| An Extensive Exhibition by Gaslight at tlonals— Base Ball Notes. The National Base Ball Club has signed Catcher “Pat” Rollins for next season. Rollins ”| showed such remarkable strength on the Cham- bersburg club last season thatseveral clubs had lines ont for him. He will no doubt hold his own with the “Senators” and prove a fine run- ning mate to Maguire. While next season will be Patrick Henry Rollins’ first experience in = major league he cannot be classed among the young-blood players. In 1886 he caught for the Miltons and Lewisburgs, and in 1887 for the Sunburys of the Central Pennsylvania League. In the latter year “Pat” and his pitcher, Jake Drauby, were the crack battery of the Danbury club of the New England League. Prior to that year, in 1834 and 1885, both be and Drauby played’ in the Southern League. Myers signed Rollins for the Yor! and it was with this club that bh greatest strength, holding the delivery of the erratic Stivetts, late of the St Louis, with an ease that astonished his friends. He is a heady, relinble catcher ard a hard. sure batter. While he isa heavier man than Maguire his work on the field resembles “old reliable's” to a remark- able degree. The Washington clab can be con- gratulated upon the signing of Rollins.

The realistic scenes from Pompeii brought the life of 1800 strongly be- fore the audience. Her next lecture will be on “Florence. ——— Had His Ankle Crushed.

The organ recital at St. Andrew's Church last evening was greatly enjoyed. Prof. Louis A. Rutter of Baltimore gave four numbers which fully proved his mastery of the organ, both asto manual and pedal technique, and his musicianly spirit by the intelligence of his reading The *Mignon” romance and gavotte was best received, although the Bach prelu- dium and fugue best showed his ability as an organist. ‘The vocalists were Mra.
