all that could be desired. Inc air was cool and
bracnr in the morning, and throughout the entire
d,y there was a genial sun. From morning until
late hour at night the streets thronged with
people, in holiday attire, and in the afternoon the
City Passenger Railway cars were crowded. The
stars and stripes loated from the flag stalls of vari
Gus public buildings, from the military armories
and from a number of places of business In most
of the churches there were appropriate services,
and in some instances the prosperity of the Union
was the theme of discourse. All the churches were
well attended.
Rev. DR.. John McCron delivered q very eloquent
discourse in the English Lutheran Church, Licking
ton street. near Howard, to very large congrega-
ton. He referred particularly to the threatenings
which now surround the confederacy, and pointed
out clearly the duty of all Christians at this
time.
Rev. George A. Leskin, pastor of the Episcopal
Church, Broadway, also delivered a sermon OF a
similar character. The members of the several
Baptist denominations assembled in the High Street
Baptist Church, when an able discourse deli
vered by Rev. Mr. Pritchard In the Light Street
Methodist Episcopal Church very interesting cere.
monies took place. Addresses were delivered by
Rev. Thomas SewelI, Rev. William Hirst, John Car
son and X. Stockett Mathews, Esqs, and Hon. Hugh
l.. Bond. The latter gentlemens remarks
principally appeal in behalf of the Causeway
Mssion and at the close collection was taken up,
which amounted to a very liberal sum. At the Ais
quith Presbyterian Church, Rev. Dr. Carnahan
preached a suitable discourse.
The order throughout the city was excellent A
reference to our local columns will show that not
one serious disturbance took place. A man was
now and then to be seen taking up little more of
the sidewalk than he was entitled to, but in most
cases he swung clear Of the other pedestrians and
kept safely on his winding way. At no time during
the day were the police stations at all crowded
with inmates, and in the evening the committing
magistrates had but little more to attend to than
upon ordinary DAYS.
In the morning there were several games of base
ball and cricket played between rival clubs On
the grounds of the Excelsior Base Ball Club
friendly match took place between the Waverly
and Maryland Clubs. The game can not be strictly
called match, as no challenge passed, the Mary
land only requesting game of the Waverly. The
rain which fell the few days previous softened the
ground very much, and 1t was suggested that it
was unit to play on. The game was however
commenced, and in short time the ground was so
slippery that it was impossible to run. The mud
between the bases, and at the pitchers, catch
ers and batters' stands several inches
deep, and every bound of the ball sent it flying into
the faces and the persons of those engaged at
those posts. After the first innings, the captain of
the Waverly proposed that the play should stop,
and the game be considered drawn. To this the
Marylanders objected and the game went on, the
mud increasing each inning until the fifth inning
was played, when it was absolutely impossible to
continue the game without danger to the players.
1t was here determined to close the game with the
Waverly seven points ahead. There were between
two and three hundred persons present, among
whom were few ladies'. But before the game
closed most of the spectators left The Baltimore
grounds at the intersection of Boundary and Madi-
son avenues. The same annoyance existed there,
but not to the same extent. The game was won by
the Baltimore Club. The Atlantic and Monument
tai Cricket Clubs played a game. 1t was expected
that game would take place between the
Hygeia and Pickwick Clubs, but owing
to misunderstanding in regard to the
time it did not take place, and a catch game was
made up between the Atlantic and Monumental
Clubs. The grounds were in much better condi-
ton than those occupied by the base ball clubs,
and some very fine play exhibited by the
members of both clubs, particularly that of the
Monumental The latter won the game in one in
nings, scoring l24 points. The Atlantic made %
their first and II On their second innings. This
result, however, must not be taken a criterion
for Judging the relative skill of the clubs The
Atlantic has on former occasions, won high honors
and its friends contend that the game, on yester-
day, was not fair exhibition of their strength
in play.
