counties where the wheat has not been har-
vested Or is not sufficiently ripe to be cut, rep
resent that much damage has been sustained
by the very unfavorablc weather of the past
few days, and that the crop in the Valley, and
north OF the Manassas Road Is supposed to be
somewhat injured 1t is estimated that the crop
throughout the State will be curtailed upwards
of one million bushels. In the Southern part
of the Stale where the harvest was early, the
wheat is very fine, aud sustained no damage,
but in other portions Of the State, and WHARF
the grain is late in ripening, the weather has
been unpropitious, and the crop will be very
much lessened.

BASE BALL.-The first series OF home and
home games for the championship of the city,
was played yesterday evening between the Pic.
neer and Old Dominion resulting in a victory
for the former club by score Of 90 to 81. Up
to two o clocl, yesterday it was uncertain
whether the game would BE- played on account
of the weather, so much so that the Pioneers
were diaposcd to surrender the ball and make
for match at some future time.
It was ascerlained that the grounds could be
put in suitable condition in short time
Bremen and Stone determined to try their Re
spectiVe mines, regardless of the heavy clouds.
The Mines assembled on the grounds OF The
Pioneer 4 little before three The Old Domln.
ions winning choice put the Pioneers to the
bat at 3.15. They led off with score Of 3 for
their first Innings followed by the Old Do
minions, who scored 2; I'd inning both clubs
retired on q round O. At the beginning OF the
Sd inning the Pioneer took The lead, scoring 4,
to the Old Dominion O. They kept their game
UP, going ahead each inning to the 9Th, when
both Clubs again retired with an 0 as score. In
the 9th and last INNING the old Dominion tried
hard to make ar even score, but want OF prac-
tice at the bat kept them down, and the game
ended with the final score, 80 to 81.
The game was one of the most Interesting
We have ever Witnessed in Alexandria, and we
expect the return game will be warmly contest,
3D. The Old Domnions having held the
championship during tie last season, and never
before having been beaten, will hardly let
score ahead discourage them; while the
Pioneers, equally proud of their Success, Will
cudeavor to place their hest men in the field.
As stated above the game was won by the
Pioneer club, by score of, Pioneer, 30; Oid
