POSTAL NEGLECr.-One of our most prom.

a disgracefu incompetency in the manage
ment Of the postal department somewhere
between this city and the Central Iowa
towns On the c. Il. |. d ?. road. He thinks
the discrepancy Is at the Davenport post Of
fee, arising from the neglect of clerks, or
their incompeteucy, Whatever the trouble
may be, it needs locking to. as the interests
Of our jobbers are injured to no little extent
By the delay Of the orders Of theirocustomers
He mentions an instance where he mailed
an order from Brooklyn, Iowa, and returned
to Rock Island three days afterwards, to find
that his letter had not yet been received, and
his customer was, of course, out Of humor

ton to business. This is not the only case.
Such delays are common. 1t is not necessa.
ry to advert to the importance Of filling or
ders promptly, and shipping on time. Coun
try merchants seldom order goods until
their stock on hand is nearly exhausted, and
when they DO order, they want their bills
filled at once. In fact, they will trade no
wnero save where this is the rule. We
hope the proper authorities will look into the
matter at as early period as possible,

THE NATIONAL GAME.
Eckford W.. Maryland.


The champions Of the south-the Maryland Club,
OF Baltimore arrived here yesterday morning to
fulni engagements made with the leading clubs in
this vicinity. They have had rather III luck since
they left the Monumental Cityn as the weather
has been decidedly against them, and the games
which they played at Philadelphia were thereby
considerably marred. The weather yesterday did
appear at first to be somewhat doubtful: but Old
Pluvy WAS kindly, aud the young S0uthrOns had nne
day. They had made their arrangements 30 that the
champion Eckfords would be their nrst opponents in
this neghbOrhood, and them they met yesterday af.
ternoon and contended against, with result which
will be found below. 1t is not necessary to detail
the game. The score given below will show pretty
clearly how and by whom the work was done. The
same old complaint-unable to bat the 'phunnyp

were but little behind the Eckiords but the latter
certainly exceled at the bat II there be one of the

much So. This might be considered a

contrary 1t seems to make his pitching irregular
and makes him forget that he should pitch for his
catcher, fact which he seems entirely to ignore.
The consequence was more passed balls by Lennon
than with conscientious or consderate pitcher
should be made. or the rest OF the nine every man
In his position nothing can be said In disprase. OF
the Eckf0rds II Is simply necessary to say that their
playing could not be surpassed. The score shows
that there were but three passed balls and no other
errors In the field on which bases made by the
Marylanders. The Eckfords, however gained their
nrst base ten times on muffs and wild throws, two
OF which are to be attributed to Selman, two TO
Buck, two to Lucas, two to Goldsmith and one to
Armstrong. One base was given on .'balls calledn

SIasers'' Victorious.
The match between these noted clubs, which was
commenced at Hudson City on Wednesday, termi-
mated yesterday in the success OF the dragon
Slayers." The result Of the FIRST days play, az
given in the HERALD OF yesterday left the ST. George
in a position to win easily. New York had been dis.
posed OF for so In their first innings while their
antagonists had obtained 100 by magnificent dis.
play OF cricket.
Play was resumed yesterday about twelve O'Clock.
The first three wickets fell for small figures and 1t
began 10 look ~ though Sc. George would win In
one inning. Grassland and Lee soon got 10 work
however, and getting IS between them forced Sc.
George TO the bat again. The total Of New Yorks
second inning was So, Cr0ssland's 20 aud Lees ~
being made by excellent cricket. This left Is
Tor ST. George TO get 10 win, which they obtained
with the loss OF four wickets. Tue following is a
