BOSTON, July Z. 1869.
There was quite q large gathering at the Mystic
Park this afternoon to witness q race between Hot
spur and Myron Perry. Two races were advertised
but only the above took place, one Of the parties In
the other having paid forfeit For some time before
the race Messrs. Connolly and Doe were busy selling
pools, and very large amount was invested IN
these, Hotpur selling ut the rate Of 1926 $25. The
result Of the first heat changed this then Hospnr
had only some ten dollars at the call in 100, while
after the second heat Perry sold for $125 to $50.
Messrs. Norcross, Hamilton and Stewart we're the
judges. In exercising Perry cast q shoe, ana cons-
derabe delay occurred before 1t was replaced, and
then the horses commenced scoring Doble sitting
behind Ho,spur, who drew the inside position, and
ROden plotting MyrOn Perry.
First Heot.--After two attempts very even send
OF was given both Skipping on getting the word but
directly settling down. On the FIRST turn Perry got the
pole and passed the quarter IN thirtf-six seconds,
three lengths before HCtspur, but the latter went
well TO the hafmie pole. which was passed in l:l2
anu the gap was lessened to length and half
when they made the third quarter, when both horses
seemed 10 fall of. After turning INTO the home
stretch they again woke up and very fine contest
was witnessed, Hoisput closing the gap finely, but
break Just before reaching the string put his
chance out, ana Perry won the heat ny half length
In 1921.
Secord Heat--Perry had half length the best of
the start which took place on scoring the first time
and this he increased TO couple OF lengths at the
first turn, when HOtspur broke and ran TO the quar-
ter poA Perry passing this IN thirty eight seconds,
kept to the hali-mile pole, which was passed in
1:1ih. when Hotspur began to creep up and on
entering the hOmestrctch couple OF skips further
helped him, and again the two came down at q rat
Ting pace, but the gap could not be closed by
Hotspur, and Perry passed the wire winner OF the
heat by good length In $3.50.
ThVU Heat.--After one bad attempt the start for
this heat was made, when iotspur lost his feet for
second. He lost by this and at the turn was two
lengths behind, and the positions were maintained
to the quarter pole In thrtyeieht seconds. Hospur
was then pressed forward and got up to Pcrry's
wheel mt the ha,lnlle pO'e which the latter passed
in I:l4ls; but the work was TOO much for hin. aud
he lost his feet and length ut tue same time. On
rounding the upper turn Hotspur made Two VI
three skrs and break on the hOmeStretch, but he
failed TO pass Perry, who won by hall length in
2:29js.

EcISford VIZ. Harvard.

The Harvard nine remained in town since Monday
for the purpose of playing the return game OF their
match with the champion Eckfords. There was
quite a large crowd present to witness the contest
ana see how the Ecks would bear their honors. or
course the championship is not exactly new to
the Williamsburgers, but it had left them,
and after wandering about had returned again
to find a home In the Burg. The flags and stream
ers were all out as usual but above the neat, plain
and stanch looking ensign of the Eckfords was a
lengthy WHIP brilliant in Its freshness and twisting
and curling as If 1t felt what q proud thing it
typihed. The game was commenced by the Eek
fordS at the bat aud, US may be seen from
the score given below, it was decidedly
sharp and well fought contest. The Collegans
generally found the "Martinizlng" difficulty to over
come at the bat that as regards the hitting they
did not succeed In making very credtable display
In the field however, Ihsy played remarkably well,
while the EckfOrs ge orally both ut the bat and in
the field sustained well their reputation The

THE NATIONAL GAME.


AtIanfic Munlus VI. II. II. RS.
At the Capitoline grounds yesterday there was
assembled as jolly, good natured and old fashioned
crowd as mas been seen on any OF the ball fields
tails season. The cause OF the gathering was the
contest which had been arranged to come on be-
tween the ''mufins" Of the Atlantic Club and the
base ball reporters OF the New York and Brooklyn
papers. Mr.. Tasse, President of the National Asso
ciation offlcaed catcher Tor the Atlantics, and
nlled the position with much credit The playing
generally, both in the field and at the bat, was
vast Improvement on that OF Monday be-
tween the Atlantics and Al hletics As neither
party had played before this season as a
nine. there. was some excuse for the wild
throwing and munlng that was at times INDUCED In.
Mr. Mckee, who WAS present and VINO oficiated as
umpire, after Mr.. Elmendorf retired, fearing that
Che contestants either side would become de-
pressed II they found their party falling behind pro-
vded quantity OF creature comfort from disciple
OF Gambrinus, and thus enabled the players to keep
their courage up.
The following score win give fair idea OF the
playing on both sides. Andy Peck had donated a
bat as prize for the best batting on the re-
porters' side, and Mr. Snyder had donated a ball for
the man who should put out the greatest number Of
men on the same side. The bat won by hr :.
wright, or the Philadelphia sunday Mercury, and
the ball by Mr.. PangbOrn, OF the TTibuUe:--
