Governor Dix has pardoned Benjamin E. Valentine, of Nassa\i County, who was convicted of forgery on Febuary 24, 1})06, and sentenced to serve not less than one year nor more than flve years.
Valentine obtained a nertifieateof rca- soimblo doubt, and his appeal had since been jiending. Affidavits contradicting testimony Kiven nt the trial were filed with the Governor, tending to show a doubt as to Valentine's guilt.
Benjamin E. Valentine was formerly one of tlie best-known real esfcite law¬ yers on Long Island. On Aufimst 19, 1903, Justice Wilmot M. Smipi, of tlie Brooklyn Supreme Court, declared fraudulent a deerl purporting to bear tlie signature ol Marie A. Valentine, the lawyer's wife, and transferring prop¬ erty in California to Valentine's mother, Elizabetli Valentine. Valentine was accused of having forged tho name of his wife to the deod.

Baseball fana all over the country have been watching with great intei- eat Marquard'a seventeen straight wina and Waahington'a record of aeventeen atraight victories. But the people in Bellmore and neighboring towna ahould not loae aigbt of the fact that the Bellmore team ia playing aome ball, too. The two victoriea Sunday made eight atraight gamea and every one with one exception bas been cloaeiy contested, keeping the apectatora in¬ tereated every minute of the time. Dae credit muat be given Sam Sea¬ man, captain, for the way in whieh he haa handled the team, eapecially the pitchers. Some very good teams have been booked for the forthcoming games. The umpiring for the past three gamea has been exceptionally geod and the Club feela proud to have a man auch as Harr> J. McCord offici¬ ate at the games.

The Vanity A. C. of Brooklyn, a faat travelling team, waa our visitor Sanday. Tno games were played and Bellmore won both conteata by narrow margina. In the first game Bill Tine Valentine, occupying the pitcher's box, led hia team to victory, the acore be¬ ing 4 to 1. The aecond game waa atarted with Amoa Baldwin in the box. Owing to a lame arm he waa forced to retire in the third inning, when Harry Merritt took hia place, and finished the game. The acore in thia game was 2 to 0. Both conteata were exciting from atart to flniab and the home team won the two gamea by tbeir good play¬ ing and heavy batting. Owing to the fact we were onable to obtain the acore carda, we are obliged to omit the aum- mary of the gamea. Next Sunday we have anotber fast team coming bere, the Clarion A. C. of Brooklyn. Tbia team played here taat aeaaon undar the name of the Empire Profeaaionata. On Tharaday, July 4th, we will faave for oar opponenta in a dpuble bead£r, the Brooklyn Blue Sox.
