ball tossers have been obliged to succumb and the
home and home game Of the picked mines, repre-
senting New York and Brooklyn, which was ar
ranged to come or yesterday at the Capitone was
seriously interlered with. The grounds looked ex-
ceedingly tempting, bnt the mist which has pre-
vailed almost uninterruptedly since Thursday morn
ing had dampened the ground enough to warn the
enthusiasts that the ball would soon become spongy
by being rolled through the grass and that efforts to
make good display would be, lost. The game was,
therefore, postponed until Tuesday next when 1t is
expected the following mines will play:-New York
