Neck-lying between the Potomac and Kappa
hammock rivers, nearly hundred miles long,
and from eight to twenty miles wide, is put
down at about one-fourth Of crop. A few

some fortuitous circumstance. The thresher

Many reasons contribute to fix the attention
of New Englanders who are thinking of re-
noval to milder climate, upon the State of

one of the best States in the Union, The chief
objection to such removal is undoubtedlv in

First Game for L0,oel.
F The first of three games for the champion
ship of New England, between the Lowell
Club (champion) and the Harvard Club, was
played yesterday "wednesday afternoon, on
Boston Common, resulting in favor of the Low
ell Club. The conditions ofweather and ground
were very favorable, the players being troubled
with neither sun nor dust. The interest in
the game was indicated by the attendance of
about fifteen thousand persons, among whom
enthusiasm prevailed in an unusual degree
The preparations on the ground for the game
were those generally made, seats being album
dainty provided for ladies, who were present
in considerable numbers. At three o'clock
the hour appointed for beginning the game
both clubs appeared, the Lowells in their uni.
forms of dark blue and white, aud the Har-
wards in light gray. The game was begun at
twenty minutes past three o'clock. Harvard
went to the bat, but did not get to a base Low
ell then scored three runs; Harvard made four
on the second inning, when Lowell scored
eight. On the third inning Harvard failed to
get q base, while Lowell made no runs poinp
out with the bases FULL ~ t}t
The fourth inning proved to be the salvation
of the Lowells, the Harvards making no runs,
while the former scored 14-a total of 25 to
for the Harvards. This state of affairs appar-
emily induced a negligence on the part Of the
Lowells, whose play while 1out" on the 9Th
9th, and 18th innings, especially the latter, was,
generally lnexcusably poor; redeeming fea-
o.i ., iioWCvoi, WIS al eAceueHJ uy-catcn on
the 9Th inning by Mr.. Lowell, in the left field,
from vigorous stroke by Hunnewell The
Harvards displayed good pluck, and improving
the advantage offered by the carelessness OF
the Lowells, made six runs on the 9th inning
before getting an out" and closed, their In
scored five, Harvard opened the 7th inning
with eight, which the Lowells followed with
three. The latter then played with more care;
Harvard Went out with one run, and the game
was virtually decided
The play, on either side, was not remarkably
excellent though perhaps the fielding of the
Lowells during the first portion of the game
should be excepted fiom such Judgment Few
incidents worthy of notice occurred A blow
on the head received by Hunnewell from a
ball straight from Lovett's bat, occasioned
many expressions ofsympathy for the object of
the visitation, and admiration OF his fortitude
in Immediately resuming play Z
The following is the score of the game:
