The Ball Game at Ashland.


A great many people went to Ashland, yes
terday, to witness the conclusion of the match
game of base ball between the clubs of Upton
and Midway. The mastery play and even
appearance of the battle, on the previous day,
had greatly heightened the excitement in re-
gard to it. Yesterday morning two of the ref
erees, Messrs. J. ]. Walker and A. S. Hard
ing, resigned, and left Mr.. 2. r. johnson of
the Winthrop Club, Holliston, sole referee.
Entire confidence was reposed in Mr.. johnson,
and we understand that he performed his du-
ties to the satisfaction of all concerned.
The playing began yesterday at half past
eight O'Clock, and continued until forty-hve
minutes past eleven, when the Midway club
was declared victorious. During the first hour
of the play, not a single tally was made by Ell
ther side. AT length, on the ninetieth of their
innings, the Midway players had brilliant run
of luck and made eight. This turn of fortune
evidently excited the Uptonians rather more
than was favorable to entire self-possesson;
and from this time to the end of the game they
did not show such complete and unvaring
mastery of their work as appeared in them
on the previous day. Their opponents went
on the same as ever, playing splendidly and
gaining steadily until the game was finished.
There were in all 211 innings, Midway hav-
ing log and Upton los. The tallies stood at
the close-Medway 100, Upton rs. The re-

port was as follows

AT the close of the game, the Upton players
called for "three cheers for the victors, the
banner club of massachusetts" The Midway
club replied by cheering the Uptonians and
calling them the hardest to beat" and "per-
haps the best club in the Commonwealth"
The cheers went roaring all through the
crowd there was whirl and rush and,
Immediately, the four acres of ground that
had been marked off and appropriated to
the players, were densely covered with
people, all save the center, where the
clubs had formed a ring. Here Mr.. j.
Edwards Litton, of the Ashland club,
presented to the victors the purse ofSl00, with
an appropriate speech. 1t was received in
their behalf by DIR. Fisher, President of the
Midway club, who replied handsomely. The
rival clubs cheered each other on parting.
The Boston Herald stated yesterday morn
ing that 1.-TWO of the best players of the Med
way club were absent by reason of illness"
This statement was erroneous. There was no
foundation for it and we make this reference
to the matter, because. as we are told the
Herald's statement displeased and an loyed the
Midway players, who were much too chival-
rous to countenance any such misstatement in
their favor. One of their number complained
of illness, and was absent about twenty min
utes at the beginning of the game; but he re-
turned to his position and kept it till the close
The only "home rap" made during that
whole game of I'll innings. was made by Mr..
Nelson of the Upton Club To go round and
''come home" after hitting the ball before it
could be recovered, was not an easy thing to
do against players. But Mr.. Nelson did it
once, on the first day. And having made this
reference to Mr.. Nelson, we will add that he
| played the game with broken finger. 1t was
broken two weeks ago, and during the play
he had it closely bound to the sound finger
next to it. He has the reputation of being the
best Catcher" in the State. 1t was agreed an
all hands that there is nowhere in the
State any club that is equal to either of
these two. During this game, the Uptonians
were admired for their science and for great
skill in their management of the ball /; and the
Midway players were admired for their very
remarkable agility and celebrity of movement,
as well as for science and skill in the game
generally. Never before did either club en-
counter such antagonist, land their match game

from a box of clothing in the fourth story, in

THE CRoPs.-The reports from different
parts of the country, in regard to the crops,
are on the whole very encouraging In this
vicinity, the potato crop is remarkably tine,-
promising better in all respects than for sever
al years. The corn crop, too, although back
ward, promises we'll and there is likely to be
a good yield The yield of hay has been very
large. We hear favorable reports from all
parts of New England
A private letter from Lancaster, Penn, in.
forms us that the wheat crop there this year is
better in quality and more abundant than in
any Of the fifteen years previous. The same
is true of the oat crop; and the corn looks
and promises well, although there is some
complaint of lack Of rain. Generally in
Pennsylvania the crops are excellent.
A resident of Clayton County, Iowa, says
to us in a letter dated July 18th :-"Never in
the world did crops look better than they look
here with us, at the present time. Corn did
look bad for while, after the first; but the
weather lately has been SO warm and fine, that
it has come forward wonderfully and now bids
fair to yield well. Fora week past we have
had the warmest weather ever knew. The
thermometer has ranged from 90 to 90 and 90
in the shade for the last three days" A gem
tleman who has just returned from a trim
through Iowa and Wisconsin brings a similar
report concerning the crops through all ,ho.
part Of the Northwest, and an other oen,lo,,a,,
who has lately Travelled through M;ch;,,..,
says the crops were never more promising in
that State. The frost did the grain no injury
whatever, while it killed the fly, and thus
brought good fortune to the cultiyator by al
lowing the crops to grow and mature without

about 2,l00 inhabitants, is very prosperous.
Messrs. Kimball & Robinson are building

Their new establishment is to be operated by
