griln SDe37y aud we rs. The Erie Roiilrdy
Company et aL-In this SUIT, which was Instituted
some months since In reference TO preferred stock an
application was made yesterday To tins court an
order TO show cause why service of the subpoena
should not be set aside, aud the bill should not be
taken from the dies upon the ground that The ssu-
ance of the subpoena and the hing OF the bill were
an abuse of the processes OF the Court and fraud
thereou and that the suit violated the rule of law
which prohibits the maintaining OF suits for specula-
tive purposes. II appears from The anldavts that

day, provided she would release to them all sums or
mcrey winch they might realize out of the suit over

Mrs Sperry gave the power OF attorney ana received

frankness thar many OF her friends have spoken To
her about commencing SUIT IN ner old age: but III
language ''she has not got any SUIT: all she mas
got Is a paper from Bushnell and the Others" She
offered 10 come to New lorK and explain the matter

have reconsidered her determination stating that
Bushnell ANA Oakes ApeS mad promised 10 protect
her and TO pay her dollar for dollar for her stock
The Courl granted an order returnable on Satur-
day next, Tor the compainants To show cause why

THE NATIONAL GAME.

The first match game OF the season the Union
grounds came or yesterday, the Mutual and olympic
clubs being the contestants. The weather, although
nne was, owing to the high and cold wind which
prevailed, rather adverse to any fine exhibition Of
ball play. The Mutual nine, with the exception OF
Mcmahon, were on hand but their performances
generally were not as an rdu as might be expected
from the champions. Hatfield made two beautiful
misses OF ny balls which came into his hands, and
several displays OF muillnism were made by others
of the nine. Wolters pitched very well and Mills
caught IN really excellent style. Some good play
Ing was shown by Mills on first base, Flanicy on

short. The uattcr, however IL certainly out OF MS

arm to deliver the bali he moves 80 slowly and
