PRACTICE GAMEs.-Correspondcnts will please
take notice that while we are glad to record at
least the result of all match games, we have no
room for reports Of practice games. Nor do we
consider it fair to publish the result of snch une-
quail contests as these practice games must often
be. 1t would tend to discourage what we believe
to be an excellent way for younger clubs to
strengthen their play and learn the fine points of
the game.

to the Secretaries of the various clubs to send us
a list of their Officers.

CITY COUNCIL.


MONDAY EVENING, April 20.
Council met at Z o'clock, President Bellah in
the chair.
The Clerk called the roll and all the members
but Mr.. Gallagher were found to be present; Mr..
g. came in later in the evening.
The President stated that the object of this adj
journed meeting was to consider the location OF
the proposed bridge across the Christana and to
consider the subject of market wharf.
The city Surveyor not being present, as yet,
Council took up the business on the clerk s table,
A petition from H. G. Moore, bill poster for
the privilege to use the south wall of the Fourth
street market house as his own for posting bills,
and proposing to pay to the city a reasonable
rent for the same, was read and referred.
The petition of Isaac McKaig and others set
ting forth that the gutter in Lord street. between
Church and Spruce SITS. is in filthy condition,
on account of not being paved, and asking that
1t be paved and that flag stones be laid across
Spruce street at Lord street, was read and re-
fcrred.
Mr. Fara, City Surveyor, submitted his plan
for the laying out OF the streets on the South
side of the Christiana to Council.
Mr.. Adams offered the following resolution
and moved its adoption:
Resoired, That the plan for the streets in the
new portion of the city, North of the Christiana
river, as made by d. Farra, be approved, and
streets South of the Christiana river shall be,
when laid out, parallel with Market street, North
of said river, and no street in said South side of
said river shall be less than 20 feet in width from
building line to building line.
The resolution was adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Pickles, the Committee to
confer with the Levy Court was instructed to &C.
cure the building OF the proposed bridge at the
foot Of Fourth street If possible.
The subject of building market wharf at the
intersection of Frontand Church SITS. was brought
up and the original resolution was read. From
this resolution it seems that the Committee is to
report on the probable cost. The matter YVES
then left in their hands.
Mr. Adams asked about the law In regard to
the Water Commissioners, and asked of Mr..
Chandler how the matter now stood. Mr. Chand-
Ter said that the Committee had thought of send
ing for the law, but had not dona so, waiting for
Its publication
After some general remarks ON the subject of
this law, the Council adjourned.

ELEVENTH STREET BRIDGE.-The friends of
the proposed bridge, across the Bnndywne, at
Eleventh street, held meeting on Saturday eve
ming In the Directors room of the Institute.
They organized by appointing Job II. jackson
ESQ. Chairman and Mr.. Washington Hastings,
Secretary.
1t was found that sufficient money had been
subscribed towards building the bridge to war;
rant them in making application to the Levy
court TO examine the matter, and ask for pro-
posals, so that the amount necessary to be raised
can be definitely ascertained. A committee was
appointed to wait on the Levy Court at Its next
meeting, the first week in May, and the meeting
adjourned.
The act of the Legislature requiring a bridge
20 badly needed by our city and the people Of
brandywine Hundred along the Delaware river
Us TINS one is, to be built by private subscription
from those most directly interested in 1t, is
scarcely exceled In mean spite by the
memorable act prohibiting wilmiagtonians
from electing ministers of the Gospel members
OF our School Board. Can act, by the way, which
our people have paid about as much attention to
as to the Pope's Bull against the comet, having
elected regularly one or two ministers, as mem
pers OF the Board, ever since the passage of the
law.)
We are glad to believe however, that notwith-
standing this unjust provision in the act author
izing Its construction, the bridge will be built,
and that speedily,
