This ended the game. There now followed
a scene of the widest excitement. Huzzas Of
| victory made the welkin ring, friend met friend
| with warm grasp Of the hand and hearty
congratulations over the well earned victery.
The ladies kept up lively waving of hand
ksrchiets and with bright smiles, full of the
pride of victory greet their friends among the
victors, who even In 90 slight warfare had
fought for aud saved the honor of the town.
Meanwhile the::two clubs met in the centre oil
the field, cheering each other and the Umpir
with hearty good will, which showed that
, the relations of conquorers and the conquered
, ia which they stood towards one another, had
In no way affected the more permanent rela-
| ton In which they stand to each other as gem
b tlemen. When ct last quiet was In measure
restored, Colonel Fitzgerald, the gentlemsnl y
/ | Umpire, made brief address, during which
: he pointed out points Of interest iu the game

playing made by both sides.
