Ambler opened the North Penn Ba.seball league on its home grounds with'a victory Saturday aiternoon over Lansdale by the score of 10 to 5. A good sized crow-d turned out to wit- ncs.s the contest, w-hich ifurnished thrills enough for all admirers, end¬ ing with Ambler's rush in the sixth, when seven runs were scored and the game won.
Ij.'rsson was put in the box for Lans¬ dale, and although suffering with a lamo arm did very well, until his arm went back on him entirely and Ambler slan.med the ball hard aided by Lans¬ dale's errors, Killen then finished out the game. Fur the victors Wil¬ drick ied at the bat with three singles, and Gallagher and Wheeler got two hits. The latter drove in the first run and in the sixth hit out a three- bagger to deep centre. Simpson pitched a pretty game, getting 13 strike-outs. Lansdale w-as lucky in the lourth in bunching three two- baggers down the right field foul line, ¦but that inning saw the last of its scoring.

In the afternoon Ambler proceeded at once to sew up the game, landing on Frankenfleld in the lirst and .scored six runs, aided by two errors. Gra¬ ham thetj went into the box, but throughout the remainder ot the game Ambier tallied five more, due to hard hitting and errors, Simpson pitch¬ ed a good game, but was not obliged to extend himself. The all-around work of Captain Flavell, hitting of Wheeler and McMullin were features of the  day's games.

A meeting of the Upper Dublin board of road supervisors was held Saturday evening at the residence uf the secretary, Daniel I-'. Stout, at (Jreland, and the bids for the town¬ shiii issue of .$35,000 wortli of bonds were    opened.       Several   brokers    ap-

After getting a four-run lead on Saturday in the game at Telford the K. and M. A. A. team went down to defeat by the score of C to 5. The K. and M. boys had a nuinber of chances to make the game .safe be¬ fore the final inning, but failed to take
peared anxious to secure the issue,! advantage of their opportunities, but the bid of Heyl and Companv, I "South" Robinson made four two- of Philadelphia, was the highest.    They | base hits, w-hich w-ith Gesinger's play-
bid par and a premium of .?1562.20 and accrued interest, und the board promptly awarded them the entire issue.
The premium really jjlaces the en¬ tire issue on a better basis than 4% per cent., the bonds bearing 4 Va per cent. The proceeds w-ill be turned into the treasury just as soon as the bonds are printed. It is believed that Heyl and Company are willing to dispose of small lots of the securities to   local   people  and   others.
The amount secured by the board for the issue gives ample evidence of the stability of the township's, credit and the standing attained by it in the eyes of the investing public, Heyl and Company have now secured all three bond issues of the township, and are, therefore, entirely familiar w-ith its affairs. The company has also secured several issues of Ambler bonds and both issues of Hcjrsham tow-nship securities.
Lose $10,000 by  Sheriff's Sale.
(Jn Wednesday afternoon .Sheriff C. J. Buckley conducted his usual sale of real estate. In selling the Richards property in LTpper Dublin a strange circumstance was brought to view-. This was sold on a judgment of .$23,- 597 and was bought 'for .$22,000, In adtJition to the original judgment there    was    a    mortgage    of    $10,000
ing were the redeeming features of the game, Dickinson also batted well, having three hits to his credit. Manager Streeper gave Kelly, one of the local high school players, a chance to show- what he could do in holding down lirst base. Tho few innings in which Kelly played he did all that could be expected, Shinn,- another Icual boy, was also given a try-out liv Manager Streepc^r in left Held and lilied his position w-ell, although his judgment of Hy balls at times was liad.
The K. and M, boys rushed things at the start—bases on. balls to Wodock and C, Robinson, infield taps by' H. Roliinson and Amy and Shinn's sacri¬ lice gave the local boys four runs, Telford in their hall of the tirst scored one run and in the sixth and seventh scored fuur more on five hits, a sacrifice, four errors and two stolen bases which put them one run in the lead. K, aiftl M. tied the score in the half of the ninth on tl. Robinson's fourth two-base hit w-hich was follow¬ ed by a two base hit by Amey, For Telford Denver pasised Kern, who stole ,'«>cond and scored the winning run when E. Wismer made his fourth hit of the game.

A special meeting tst the Ambler school board was held Friday evening with all the members present and with President Styer in the chair. The chairniuii stated the ineeting was called to consider such business as the memiiers desired to bring beforo the board.
Regarding the advisability of tnak- ing promotions, it was statc;d that the new- code provides that tiie school term shall begin witli September and end with the June month, and it waa decided therefore, that the annual promotions  bo  made  in  September.
Mr. Jenkins, of the commencement committee, reported that Rev. Charle.s Wadsw-orth, Jr., D, D., will preach tho baccalaureate sermon to the gradu¬ ates, and the annual address will be delivered Ijy Dr. Cheesman Herrick, president of Girard college, Phila¬ delphia.
The teachers' coinniittee reportecl that there will probably be four vacan¬ cies to Iill on the faculty, there having been numerous applications, which tho committee has sifted out pretty thor¬ oughly by reason of personal inter¬ course, investigations and through the testimonials presented and the qualifi¬ cations and records of the several ap¬ plicants. So far as possible the most available and likely candidates will be selected and a personal interview of these will be arranged, so that all the member's may be in a position to make  a  decision.
It is not unlikely the regular month¬ ly meeting, scheduled for this Thiirs¬ day evening, wlli b-^ postponed and tho business tranacted at the annual meet¬ ing next Monday evening, when the board  will  elect oflicers and faculty.
The board sustained its truant offlcer in his actiun in bringing before tha justice of the peace the truancy of some Italian children in South Ambler.

Robbins Circus Here June 9.      - .-
Frank A. Robbins special circus tcrain, of a score of cars will roll into Anibler on Friday morning, June 9, and the big w-agons. bright and Cresh from the paint and repair shops at Jersey City, where the show win- ter.s. will lie unloaded and taken to tho circus lot, preparatory to a parade and two performances during the day. The show will have been on the road but a very few days when it riiuai .-^ here, and all of the equipment will cunseiiueiitl.v be in the linest condition. Tlie Robbins circus is probably better known in New Jersey, especially in the smaller towns, than any other organi¬ zation on the road, as it has wintered in this state fur many years, Mr. Robbins is a resident of Jersey City.
There have been many changes in the shovv since it last appeai-i-u 1, Ambler at which time it drew a big crowd at both performances. The nuinber of cages in the menagerie, which is not a smalj one, have been increased, and some splendid speci¬ mens of wild animals will be shown. Queen, which was the biggest elephant in this country.and which was a feat¬ ure of the menagerie last year, was killed last winter, but Mr. Robbins has replaced her with an equally fine "Bull," as the circus men called them. There are lions, jaguars, kangaroos, leopard.s, monkeys and many other animals.
It has been the practice of Mr. Robbins, ever since he has been in the shovv business, and he has a record of 32 years of uninterrupted success, to advertise exactly what he has to show the people, and makes no promises which he does not fujlflll. Last season the show was seen in sev¬ eral eastern states, and broke all records for the state of Pennsylvania, remaining there for 90 days. Tha program contains many of last year's features, and other new ones that will add to the performance. One of tlia press notices in the Somerset Ohio Press, printed late last September, reacj as   follows: —
"It is doubtful if a better circus ever visited Somerset than the one of last Thursday—the Frank A. Robbins. From beginning to end the manage¬ ment gave all or more than wa.s prumised In their advance advertising. Ever.v act was a good one, riding, tumlnling. wire walking, trapeze work, juggling—there wasn't a dull moment, extending over two hours. The vari¬ ous performers were artists in their respective lines, and called forth hearty appiause. Everything In connection with the show was neat and well kept, and the various em¬ ployes were courteous and gentlemanly in the extreme. Not the least inter¬ esting feature of the show was a nuniber of animals, forming a very- creditable menagerie. Should thi.s show ever visit Somerset again it ia sure  of  having a  paclsed  house."
