TALE OF WOE.Dubuque Wins a Game from Independenceand Then Loses it Again bymjrakiog Magnificent Errors.A Large But Thoroughly Disappointed Audience Witnesses the Second Waterloo of theHome Teaitwo runs bad come in on errors and a hit.Each of the Dubuques were credited with two hits apiece except BrowD, Lee and Miller, who got one each.The crack Clinton club will play here Saturday, Sunday and Monday next.Miller was to get a suit of clotbes if be won the game. He should get the cl othss as he won the game fairly, but it was lost through others’ errors.Frank O’Brien and all others who canoe In with bis base ball aggregation had ample cause flt; r filling the Cooler valley with their “big Injun” yells, Sunday afternoon; for, after having lost all hope of winning the game played at the park, they retired from the diamond as victors simply through egregious errors made by the Dubuques. The home team had no license to lose the game txcapt through errors. It was known that tbe Dubuques were badly handicapped at Waterloo, and our people were disposed to overlook their defeat at that place last Tuesday by tbe independence club. The Du-bnques bad asserted that, under more favorable circumstances, they coulddefeat the Wapeie club, and from tbe energetic manner iu which they started in, the audience was fully convinced of their ability to make good their assertion. Everybody was feeling good when Umpire Gus l^ear called game. The first inning was a blank for both sides and so was the first half of tbe second for the visitors, but tbe Dubuques scored a tally in their half. The third was also a blank for tbe visitors, the borne team adding another tally, in tbe fourth Independence ran in two and the Dubuques four and one of these was a magnificent home run drive by Urawfuid. which caused a cyclone of cheers to sweep over the park as he touched home plate. The fifth and sixth were blanks for tbe visitors, but in each of these tbe Dubuques added another one. making the score 9 to 4 in their favor at the beginning of tbe fatal eighth. Bight here is where the comedy of errors was enacted by the Dubuques. to tbe disgust of the audience. The home team simply fell to pieces like a lot of ripe persimmons on a frosty morning. Grounders that were not ■topped, pasted bails and .wild throws were numerous and even the excited state of our boys did not make tbe ball appear large enough ia their eyes for them to get their bands on it: it simply said “Hello, there!” as it sped on without interruption. The cranks in tbe audience who bad beeu guying O'Brien and a»kiog him where he got that, “cyclone” pitcher, were maintaining a respectful silence, while Frank was doing the yelling act, towhich the slightest objection wa» notinterposed. Boor Miller, the Dubuque pitcher, was almost worn out before the Wapsle willow twiriers were retired, and when the agony was finally over they had eight unearned runs to their credit, making the score 12 to 9 in favor of Independence.

Why, by taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and in a surprls Ingly short time, your appetite will come again, and come to stay.F»r«well Party,A grand farewell party was given Sunday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C.
