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.

Club ,

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.

Clarke on Sacrilicc Hilling.
"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. "

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-

pitched by O'Lcary that struck the fence
within four feet of the top. The park Is now

The amount of kk'klng that is being in

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.
This invariably 'affects a team's uni
