THE NATIONAL GAME.

Thus far there have been but few games OF more
than ordinary interest played In the vicinity Of the
metropolis, but practice games have been in
dulged in by the leading clubs TO an ex.
tent and with q vim which would seem TO
indicate that when the match playing does begin IL
will be prosecuted with much spirit The only affair
OF Importance which occurred during the week
was the advent OF the young collegans from
Princeton, N. J. The young men came on TO play
the Atantcs and Mutuals On Friday they went
over the Capitoine grounds and met the Atantics
who were out IN full force. Pratt made his first
appearance In the nine and was of course most
anxiously watched. lie proved during the game 20

Athletics was such as TO warrant the idea that they
needed careful handling by any club which might
undertake to oppose them. The Atlantics we're
obliged to do their prettiest in the way OF safe bat
ting, aud only by doing so did they succeed IN
achieving victory. Every opportunity gwen the
neders was taken advantage Of. Fortunately for
the Brooklynitcs they succeeded In putting the bail
In SUCH places that the college boys could not get at
1t, and they managed to reach first base on clear
hits thrty-two times and made q total Of f0rty-five
iege boys made rst base ON hits eleven times with
q total Of fourteen bases on hits, for which they
scored only three runs. The game "a whole was
hour and fifty minutes.
on Saturday the collegans went over to the Union
grounds Observation-Disclosures, to play with
the Mutuals Just previous to the hour for opening
the game the rain poured down in lively STYLE soak
Ing the ground and rendering the prospects for
game very sum. Presently the sun shone out bright
and warm, and the game was commenced. One In
ming had been played, and each side had secured
one run, when the rain came down again In tor.

the game. The Mutuals were attired IN their new

Like Aaron's rod, the Senter-Stokes
issue swallows up all others. The
eastern portion Of the State has been
canvossed by the parties, and our peo-
pie have before them the bold, deep
outlines of the final struggle. The
choice is between peace and war-recon.
ciliation and agitation, progress and
decline. Senter represents the popular
longing for quiet aud good feeling, the
opening of an auspiciOus era in the
State. Stokes is the embodiment Of
that reluctance with which revolution
lists lower their bloody ensign. He is
a modern representative of the protest
with which Bellzebub greeted the inau-
guration Of peace in Heavsn-the ex.
