Josenh 5 81 Milwaukes, 3 Omaha 17, D The Pronibitionists had their new phe- nom, Michael Hennessey, of Texas, in the box yesterday afternoon. He opened up in & mauner that justified the suspicion that he was a pitcher, but subsequeat events completely dissipatod this hallucination, and be is now dead—to the world. Only sixteen men went to the bat in the “eighth inning, and the way they sham, lam and barpooned him was enough to give an ordinary man the St. Vitus dance, Five singles, three three-baggers, a doublo and twelve runs was the size of it, and after this bir. Hennossey reti with but one man out, big Sam Smith taking his place. Michuel was aware when he had evough. After the game he remarked to Manager Macullar, of the Des Moine 1 was a little off this afternoon. “Yes, I noticed,” rejoined M notas far off us you will noon—that is, if you can catch the train.” So from that ome woukl suppose that Michactis to be sent buck to his sunny, southern home. The Omahas, however, put up their usual magnificent game, Kid Nichols pitehed in fine form, barring a little wildness in the first four innings, when he sent six men to first buse on bad valls; at least, that is what Charlie Briody, the oleaginous umpire, thougit. Briody, by the way, is nearly, if not quite, a8 good an umpire as old Davy Force. But to return to the Kid's He finally got settled do his work, and allowed the visitors but six hits off bim, W0 of theso being in the final inuing, when Nick just tossed them o ate for fun. ‘The lad also had fourteen assist: Joe Strauss did some backstopping, and some hitting of the same sort, making homer and a single, three runs, ton put outs and three assists, Joe Walsh, too, was full of ginger, and laced her out in maguificont style, us his corker o the fence for four bags and two singles fully attest. Jimmy Canavan, fresh from the hosvital, was aiso on deck. He was weak and timid a8 a school girl, and all he could do was to knock the ball a counle of miles in the fifth #nd two and a half in the cighth. “hat isn’t 8o bad for a sick man, isitt Sam Morton viewed the game from the directors’ box, and he remarked to President, +McCormick that Hennessey reminded him very much of a coupie of pitchers he has -with the Minnies, He jumped over the back fence in the middle of the eighth inning and ran up the alley. Nobody knows where he ‘went, butit is supposed he wanted to get ns far away from Mr. Hennessey as possible be- fore the game closed, to avoid tumpering with him—with a bat.

CRETR ASSEMBLY GROUNDS, July 1.—[Spe- cial to Tue B, |—The Sunday serene still- ness that brooded over the grounds all day yesterday, moking it, as several ministers were heard to say, “an ideal Sabbath,” has this morning given vlace to the usual week- day briskness and bustle. Again the news- boy’s cry is heard, again ofices and places of trafic are open, again boats ply upon the riv 1d the lover of lawn tennis hies him to his beloved courts, The rain of yesterday “is over and gone,” and this first day of July brings us bright, though rather warm weather. However, even sultriness is pre- ferable to an over supply of moisture. Quite a commotion prevailed among the assembly reporters yesterday. The fact that the 3 p. m. train going east on the B. & M. does mot run on Sunday was not generally kuown. Consequently some half dozen industrious reporters ‘ot left,” a unusual thiug to happen a reporter. When their carefully written manuscript was returned to them with the news of the recre- ant train indignation meetings were the or- der of the day. Condolences were exchanged and a business like rush for the telegraph office ens Chautauqua may talk about Sunday observance ad libitum, but sojlong as Sunday papers are published reporters wanu their mail carried on Sunday the same as any other day. It is frequently remarked that people seem to enjoy the assembly even more than usual this year. There is such general and con- tagious cheerfulness and- sociability, so many old friends meet-and are so glad to see one another. This morning three fat'men happened to meet on the outskirts of the pavilion, and immediately twoof them clasped nands 'aud indulged in a prolonged and very muscuiar shake, waile their faces beamed with pleasure, *'You seo we are old friends,” they explained to the third party. +S0 I see,” saud the third, and so did every- body else see, for such a handshake as that d not, be hidden under a bushel, Missionary Work'’ was the topic of the morning prayer meeting. The importance and vastness of the work was dwelt upon, and much intorestod was manifested. Ono gentleman, evidently a Y. M. C. A. man who has kept his eyes open, declared there was plenty of missionary work to be done right here on the assembly grounds: that he knew there were a bundred young men here who have no pronouncedreligious views, are pledged to no christian work, und are regular attendants at no place of worship. The young men of the Y. M. C. A. aro liberally represented at’ the assembly this ) Thair headquar- ters building 18 always open, and they are striving to make their infiuence felt for good. At tho8 o'clock rencarsal this morning Dr. Palmer’s chorus class numbered 150. All- the mewbers were ot present. The class is ex- pected to be doublo the present number within a few days. Mrs. Raymond, of Lin- colu, is the pianist; Miss Clark, of' Boston, nctist, and Miss Rice, of Liucoln. the orgauist. Mrs. Powell, of ‘Washington, D.

Both these classes aro conducted by Dr. Palmer; they are well at- tended, and are doing g0od work. A Grand pano has beon ordered from Omaha, and is expected to-day. The upright piano now uscd4s not adapted for chorus purposes. Prof. Beard’s advanced cluss in drawing meets in the editor's bullding at 9 a. m. Tho tuition is $2each, and the class now numbers twenty-five. The children’'s drawing class mects in the same place at 4 p. m. The tui- tion is $1 each, and the class is large and interesting. The most popular class for little folk is Mrs. Kenuedy's Palestine class, woich meets at 9 o'clock in the normal ball. ~ The lesson, as the name of the class indicates, is travels in Palestine, and the children greatly enjoy their daily journey in that far away, storied land. ‘The advanced Normal class met at 9 in the Congregational building. This class is now studying bible geography, and is taught by Prof. Jucoby, of Penusylvauia. Dr. Duryea's biblo cluss met at 10 4. m, in the hall in the Grove. The benches wero well occupied, for the learned doctor always attracts & crowd. The lesson was a con- tinuation of the series of the books of the bivle, The historical order of tho books of the old testament was given, and it was shown that the interest and importance of these books gather around the three fig- ures, prophet, priest and king—all typicai of Christ. This bible students’ class is largely attended by teachers aud ministers who are anxious to benefit by the instructious of one of the wost profound bible studeuts in Amer- oa. At 11 0'clock occurred Sprague's second lecture in the puvilion. At the beginning of tiio lecture Dr. Eddy, of Lincolu, sang a solo, I Am Waiting for Thes Mrs. Raymond, also of Lincoln, played the accompaniment. Cortain harmless wonomaniacs exhausted themselves in the effort to prove that Shake- speare had twenty-seven occupations or call- ings, Dr. Sprague's lecture on ‘“‘Shake- speare's Sword” was an effort to prove that oue of the mythical twenty-seven callings was that of @ soldior. Tu the beginuing the lecturer reforred t@ the four groat saldigr authors of olden timos— Moses, David, fobvlus sud Julias Cesar— men who cofibftbd ~ loftiost thoughts with Stoutost actiotis. 7" Saech men, howover, are few, for sevore:phiysical_labor is not conduc- ive to mental activity. above prove that amMMitary lite, if not too long or too absotbing, is greatly promotive of literary avility, Shakespeare, the lec- turer affirmed;3a also a good illustration of this statement. He then gave coplous ex- tracts from Shakespearc's wiitings to prove that he posscased extensive knowledgo of military n«mryt nd was probably at somoe pefiod of his lifé ;a soldier, The lecturor showed great, knowledge of his subject, and his rendition of ohibice Shakesporian extracts was vory fine. /e noon hour was spent, as usual, in seekife; rofreshments for tho inner man, and posting up concerning the coming evdnts, as stated in the pro- ramme. Great preparations aro being made or Wednesday, which is st apart for law- vers' and editors’ day. Moro ropresentatives of tho nress and bar are expected here this year than ever before, Judgoe Morris, of Crete, will be the presiding officor of the lawyers' part of the day, and this is a surety that things will bo conducted as they should be. Hon. J. W. Donavan, of Michigan, will deliver the annual address to the lawyers at 2 p. m,, his subject being, “Ihe_Art of the Advocate.” In the evening H. M. Bushnell, president of tho Nebraska Pross association, will doliver the annual address to the cditors, his subject being, “In the City of Mexico,” Great exvectations are entertained for the Fourth, Ex-Governor Cumbach and Cor- poral Tanner will be the orators of the day, and the evening concert by Dr. 'Palmer’s largo chorus will undoubtedly be worthy of the day we cclebrate, 80 also will be tho display of fireworks. Captain John Shorrell, of Crete, will be chief mar- shal of the day, and with a number of ablo assist vill see that the complicated ma- of the day runs smoothly. fortunate for the lady reporters of somo of the papers that publish penny wood-cuts of = scenes on the assembly grounds, that o certain elderly artist is so susceptible to female charms, Cartoons and lead pencil sketches come cheap when wheedied out of artistic admirers, anxious to win the favor of the pross and the reporters. At 2 p, m. to-day Prof. R. L. Cumnock, the elocutionist, rave a reading in the pavilion. In the aunouncements preceding the readings Dr. Dunning appointed a meeting of the C. L. S.
