The game of base ball between the Drigo
club of this city, and the Passage
club of Belfast, for the championship, took
place yesterday afternoon, and was witnessed
by very large and excited audience. As
was anticipated the contest was close and
exciting. The Belfast boys took the lead,
which they maintained to the third inning at
the close of which the Dirigos were found 70
leads by five runs. In the fourth inning the
Passagassawaukeag scored 5 runs TO the D-
RIGGS l the scores then standing ii to ID
in favor of the little champions. At this point
the excitement became intense, the friends
of both clubs madly cheering on their favor
ties, and none pretending to say on the banner
of which club victory would perch. In the
fifth inning each side scored 6 runs, and in
the seventh, the Dirigos scored to the Bel
fast boys 2, the score standing 81 TO 81 in IA
vor of the Dirigos. The next inning was
characterized by some superb batting by the
Augusta boys, they scoring 10 runs to their
opponents 8.
In the eighth inning both sides played sharp,
boys going to the field with 'whitewash."
The score at this time stood Dirigo 3S, Pas
says "a, and none now doubted what the re-
suit would be. In the ninth and last inning
Morse, pitcher of the Dirigos, went behind
the bat, and Scruton to the pitchers stand.
This did not work well, and it was deemed
judicious to change back. But the umpire
decided that they had no right to do So As
it was the Passages by good batting, scored
runs, and the Dirigos through the sharp field
ing of their opponents only scored L. This
terminated the game, and the Dirigos were
victorious by score of 80 to 49,
This was the best game of ball ever PLAYED
in this city, and the Dirigos may well be
proud, of their victory. Their adversaries
are splendid batters, sharp ficlders, and in
weight and age are not far removed from
seniors. Their short stop is small, but he
proved himself to, be alert, and a splendid
short-stop. The Dirigos all acquitted them

Front street.

If Christian when he started on his
wearisome and trying journey tot the Celes-
tial City, as described by good old John
Bunyan, had encountered at the Slough
of Despond" such an accumulation of mud,
filth, offal, debris, refuse, stagnant water,
and effete matter generally, as has gather
ed on South Front street, we are persuaded
that he would have turned back and given
up the trip in despair. The street is abso-
lutely next to impossible, and has been, for
some time past Seasons of hard and pro-
tracted rains that are injurious to most
other streets, is q benefit TO the bottom
on South Front street, for there the mud
becomes thin enough for animals to wade
it. The exact condition of the locality is
unknown, for no one is able, keen as may
be his optics, to probe the subject to the
bottom. 1t would puzzle Agassiz or an
Owen to tell what fossil remains there may
be between the mud surface and the origi-
nal grade of that portion of South Front
street. We are certain that it Is IN the
worst condition of any street we ever saw.
We do hope that when the weather opens
so as to be permissive of it immedi-
ate steps will be taken to put this street in
some sort of repair.

Saving Sail.

There has been lying along the wharf
fronting the region of Broad street, and
close to the margin of the river, for some
time past, a large quantity of salt, consist
ing of many thousand barrels. Yesterday,
when it was observed that the river was
rising with almost unprecedented rapidity,
those interested in the salt saw the neces-
sity for immediate action. In fact, the salt
was in imminent danger of being washed
along with the current or of being soaked
and dissolved by Cumberland river water.
Up came the river and still lay the salt.
Every hand that could be secured was
brought into service. Such a moving of
drays, shutting of laborers and rolling of
barrels, has scarce been witnessed since the
Confederate evacuation of Nashville in
1852 Nor was this labor and these exer-
tons a whit too soon. Quick as the lower
tier of barrels was removed from the waters
edge the river had reached the tier above.
By the most indefatigable and persistent
efforts, however, the entire lot was saved
and securely rolled to a place of safety,
above high water mark, with comparatively
but little damage having been sustained.
Some slaves were loosened and some heads
knocked in, and certain places along the
wharf were pretty well sailed and whitened.
The river was rolling rapidly along last
night where the salt lay yesterday morning.
