CITY LNTELLIGENCE.

BASE BALL.-The first match game of baseball
between rival clubs which has taken place in
this city came off on the afternoon of the 23d inst
between the Baltimore and Maryland clubs. The
game was played on the grounds of the Excelsior
club, and was witnessed by about two hundred
persons, a large proportion of whom was ladies.
The Maryland club have been playing but very
short time, and the Baltimore for the last four
months. The game was very well played, consid-
ering the disparity of ages between the members
of the two clubs-the oldest member of the Balti-
more club being but fifteen years of age, while
those of the Maryland all grown men. The
playing of Master H.Vaughn, of the Baltimore, as
catcher, was very fine, having caught four or five
on thety, and as many on the bound. The batting
of the Baltimore was better than the MARYLAND
with but one exception that done by Mr.. Robert
Green: The game was won by the Baltimore club
with the following score
Baltimore, 90
Maryland IL

A GooD SUGGEsTIoN.-Persons who ride in the
city passenger railway cars will observe a card
hung up in each car which requests all persons to
get on and off the from the rear platform This
is an excellent suggestion, and passengers should
strictly observe it, as by so doing large number
OF accidents will be prevented. Heretofore, at least
fnr of thao IL
when persons were getting on or off the cars have
taken place from the front platform. If one makes
misstep, the chances that he will fall directly
under the front wheels. But in getting off at the
rear platform it impossibility to get under the
car, as the motion throws the party directly in the
rear. Superintendent Cathcart should make his
suggestion regulation of the road.
