TnnaNArlosAL GAAr.-Mr. Ediaori VIII

THRaNATioEAL GAMEs-Mr. EdiGors Within
eight miles Of your Office there are seven base ball
clubs, which have elicIted more or less interest in
their respective localities during the past season.
nor has that interest as yet eliminated. With some
of these organizations, interest seems Of late to have
waxed into excitement. They have wed with Que
another for the championship, and that being settled,
the second and third positions Of honor arc With equal
warmth contested. The 0ndabcas, Of Facto ny Point,
ut the bat and IN the field are the acknowledged
champions. The AnSions, Of Manchester, having
manifested great anxiety for the second or third POI
sition, but Of late having been more anziuHs to win
one game, are 10 doubt on dress parade without a
rival.
A few DAYS since was held a great Base Ball
Tournament at Troy, where we're assembled most
of the distinguished clubs Of the Middle and East
ern States, this section e~xcepted) who competed
for the different prizes offered, and conteuded for
the championship. But, Mr. Editor. owing to the
break in the connection Of the Troy & Boston rail-
road, we could not attend the Grand Tournament
at Troy. And not wishing to be entirely behind
our neighbors we have been obliged to keep up,and
must endeayor to keep up. a running, liagering,con
timing excitement, while the season lasts. To that
end, aud admouitory Of the last Grand Base Bali
Tournament Of the season, and 70 afford an oppor>
tunity to the nine times ArrioSs nine to redeem their
late record, l offer the following challenge;

KNEW TT WAS ONLY A JoKE.-An affec-
Tomato playful wife, in Springfield,
Mass. sent a note TO her husband re-
Gently, written in a disguised hand,
with a ficticious name, stating that she
had often seer and admired him, and
il he would inform her of a place OF
meeting she would go over to the rooms
and they would become better acquain-
ted. Husband answered the note at
once, appointing time and place OF
meeting.
Both parties met at the appointed
time and place, the lady heavily vailed,
and proceeded to the rooms, where tho
vail was removed, and a grand tableauE
ensued. Assurances made IN the part
Of the husband that it was nothing but
a joke, and that be knew it was her all
the time; wife is having stylish bonnet,
new cloak, and elegant silk dress made.
