With Only one dav'e adver-1 j rising the gate receipts were $37. TheI* people were very quiet in comparison with the noise and roasting of former games. This is a commendable thing ! and further kuproi'emeiit along this line would be appreciated by the ladies who attend the games.The Merchant's Maroons enjoy the enviable reputation of defeating nearly every' club along the line and Ferry peo pie gave little encouragement to theirtStars claiming that it would be a walkk- j away for the Bluffs. They defeated fee j Jamaica in the morning with a score ofLrs j 21 to'4 and were quite late in getting to u* | play here.
