A Firm That Can and Will Handle Six Whole Stocks at Once , "THE FAIR" ACCOMPLISHES IT. And Handles n Half Dozen Stocks With Ease. The Quickest , Lilvcat Concern lu the West To-day. A few words in regard to the genera character of "THE FAIR" arc certain ly in plaoo at this tlmo. By untiring energy , the closest attention to busi ness matters , and the faculty of placing themselves and their goods before the people in the right way , they have at tained a place In Nebraska's mercantile world that is second to none. GRIT Is n faculty possessed by many , but to the degree which BRANDEIS & SONS have it , is something entirely rare. No stock is so largo they cannot handle it , neither is there any obstacle which they cannot overcome. Take "away "Tho Fair" from 13th street nnd the street is dead. "Tho Fair" is the most aggressive , progressive nnd go ahead advertiser there is in the state , and every ono of its advortiiomonts is the plain tolling of the nctuul goods , the bonn-fido prices , nnd the attractive bargains they continually contrive to put before their immense trade. ELEVEN STORES or rooms , 22x50 feet each , each store a distinct department , nnd all owned and controlled by Messrs. Brandcls & Sons. They nro the largest retailers in the stnto of general merchandise. No de partment is let out , they own and run thorn nil themselves , upon n strict cash Dnsis , buying even their immense "firo Btoetei" for straight cash. "THE FAIR" is the originator of popular pricas in Omaha , nnd is .the criterion by which tnousands judge the value of their purchases which by force of cir cumstances they must buy elsewhere ( that is for credit ) . The unbounded and well-merited success of "THE FAIR" is due to the unswerving hon esty , liberality and push whereby they conduct thcir.busincss. , f ' * * ' AND SO IT WILL CONTINUE. "THE FAIR , " J.

Gossip froin the Ball Field The Uykcr.s' Budget The Squared V Circle nnd Miscellaneous Comment. A circular Issued by the new Gate City Athletic club says : At a meeting of the club held April 17,1890 , It was unanimously resolved to effect a now and complete organization on a new and Im proved plnh. A now board of directors , every one of whom is a business man of first-class standing , was elected , and they immediately proceeded to make some Innovations which will undoubtedly result In placing the Guto City club upon an equal footing with nny sim ilar organization In the country. Under .the new order of things none but the members of the club are admitted to Its privileges , and none but men of good character nntl standing nro admitted to membership. Every member is obliged to pledge his honor to reveal none of the club's proceedings nor to discuss club affairs outside the club rooms. I ) v this means the most formidable obstacle to the organiza tion's advancement has been removed. To further enhance the club's oxcluslvencss nnd to assure Its financial stability , the an imal membership fee has been increased to t-.l > 0 pt'r month ( 10 per year ) , to bo paid In three Installments of $10 each , in advance. Estimating a membership of four hundred at this rate and the estimate Is very rational there would bo paid Kite the treasury each year the sum of $ rjXX ( ) . Deducting from this total $ JI,000 i < > r running expenses. § 0,000 is loft to p.iy for entertainments. With a bank account of $0,000 to draw upon , the club shall bo. able to secure the very best talent In the world to appear before It. Or , If It should liavo no entertainments at all , at the end of the year each member run either allow the inoi cy paid In by him rejnaln In the treas ury , or ho can claim his share of the surplus , which would bo W..fiO. This would make his annual outlay J7.WI , for which ho would re- colvo all the club privileges , Including use of the gymnasium , etc. The directors also decided to employ an ex perienced manager to devote his exclusive services to the club's Interest. His duty Is to provide entertainments , attend to the collec tion of dues In n word , to promote the club's interests to the best of his nbllltv. All his actions are subject to approval of the board of directors before they can bo perfected. The club Is now organized and conducted on purely btiblncbs principles. It Is Incorporated under the state laws and Its ofllccra nro held under good und sultlclent bonds to faithfully perform their respective duties. It Is pro- jxjsed to Increase the club's accommodations by adding to Us already completely equipped gymnasium n room for reading , meeting and general recreative nurpCSCS , mm nrnuiK Incuts will also bo made by which outdoor athletics eah bo fostered and promoted.

"Tills talk about sacrifice hitting , " said Dad Clarke to the writer the other evening , ' Is all rot. " "But isn't there such a hit , Dad ? " ' Well , yes , there is such a thing , simply because tlio rules say so , but literally there Is not. For Instance , a sacrifice hit cannot bo made until there is one man out , consequently but ono such hit can bo made by either side in a single inning. If the first batter up makes a base hit , or gets his base by any manner of means , the second man can get no credit for ono of these so-called sacrifices. If ho knocks n long fly to the lieUL and the base runner makes second on the pfay , the batter gets no credit , only a time at the bat. But the next man steps up nnd makes exactly the same hit , and the base runner gets third on the out , he , the batter , gets credit for a sacrifice , which , in the general average , counts equally with a hit. hit."Is "Is there nny rignt or equity In that ? Not much. "But that is not the greatest Idiocy of this sacrifice business , because I vlalm there rcallu is no such thing. A batter thcso days , off of nny average pitcher , can not place the ball where ho wants to to save his life. Ho can not send a long fly to the out-field no more than ho can make a safe hit. The balls Is just as apt to go up in the nir , or to short- licldj which will prevent the base runner from making a base on the play , ns it is to go fur out , giving the runner an opportunity to make an advance of a base after the ball is caught. The only hit that should really count ns a sacrifice , Is a bunt , for when a player makes' ' bunt , that is exactly what ho intends to do. If ho suc ceeds in hitting the ball close down , nnd the base runner makes an additional base , although the batter is thrown out nt llrst. ho should surely have the credit to which ho Is entitled , because It Is palpably the only play ho tried to make. When a ball Is smashed to the outfield , the batter is trying to make a lilt ns much as a sacrifice , and Its all rot to argue otherwise. The'only way a player can place a lilt , is when ho is engaged ut practice , und takes the bull la his hand and thruwi It up , batting It to the ground or to the outfield as It descends. When the pitcher sends In the ball to him It Is n horse of an other color ! Hain't I correct ? Youbetvour life , I am. " And he Is , The Omnlin Hall Ground" . There arc few grounds In the Western as sociation better than those of the loca club. So far this season not a single fair ball lias been batted over the fence. Several fouls have gone over both the right and loft Held fences , but none far enough to north to bo fair. So far ns getting a ball over the north foncc.that Is a probable physical Impossibility. The nearest any player over came to accom plishing this feat was In ISST , bv Perry Wer- den. now of the Toledo team. Ho hit a ball pitched by O'Lcary that struck the fence within four feet of the top. The park Is now In a line condition. The outfield Is green with lawn grass , nud the surface has been rolled until It is u hundredfold smoother than ever before. A Change In thc Captnlnoy. Wally Andrews has been made captain of the Omaha team vice Tom Kcnrns , resigned The toll first baseman's sub-cellar voice will' licrcaftcr occasionally bo heard floating in from the conchcrs' pong , and it is to bo hoped that ho will bo enabled to get a move on his men. Thodlnkulty with Kcarns was n tim idity about opening the aperture under his nose , nnd letting out his commands so that they could bo heard from the coaching lines to llrst or third. This Is strange , too , when it Is taken lute consideration that In Dctro.lt nnd London and other cities in which Tom has played , ho was considered the llfo ot bis team , and u coacuer par excellence , bluce A GASOLINE HORROR.

The amount of kk'klng that is being in dulged in by the Omaha populace anent the non-success of the local ball team Is not Justi fied by the attendance ut the homo games. That the Omaha team has played in tough luck so far no fair-minded observer will gain say. It has not beofronaccount of n lack of cither Individual or collective inability , but rather from the Inauspicious start made.

Perkins , captain of the celebrated Denver Hamblcrs , spent a day in this city hist week. Captain Perkins , true to the Denver wheelman's interests , puts in much of his time denouncing and ridiculing the League of American Wheelmen and its meth ods. Denver should inaugurate a llttlo na tional league of her own , .T. T. McCuno of Peoria Is in the city boom ing the great tournament to bo held In that city next autumn. From the elaborate prep arations being made it is .safo to say that tins will bo the biggest and mnstsuccessfnl racing meet ever heljl in the wctfK All of the crack riders of the country will bo in attendance , and the eastern contingent will doubtless make a herculean effort to retake some of the lautcls won from them by the occidental boys last fall , A lurpro majority of Omaha's fast amateurs and professionals , too , for that mutter , nro having a gala time at St. Joseph today , dedi cating the new athletic park down there. A delegation of local wheelmen , numbering fully twenty-live , went down hist evening over the Chicago , Burlington Si Quincy.
