...government. Of late, the demand for other makes has arisen, and the government, to meet it, allowed English and American manufacturers to enter goods for competitive test with a view to the adoption of the best. The fact that Wm. S. Kimball & Co have come out far ahead of all other manufacturers in both countries is unmistakable proof that their goods are the best the world produce.

Cohen tries his chance, and hits a single; Holden imitates him; Coolidge goes out on three strikes; Tyng brings the first two home by a two-baser, and scores himself on Ernst's single.
