ers, that Is to say, the Silver Star Club
Of Carson, composed partly Of men,
bers belonging to Gold Hill and Viz
ginia, seem doomed to a succession Of
defeats at the hands Of the Clubs they
thought to conquer in California. The
Eagles of San Francisco whipped them
badly enough, and yesterday the Wide
Awakes of Oakland served them nearly
rs bad, the score standing "a to 10.
The Carson appeal, commenting upon
these disasters. says: 1.-THE boys r

Curry was heartleSs enough to tele-

the boys Of the Blind Asylum, and

We extract the following from the
Chronicles report Of the first game. oil
Saturday, ut San Francisco, between
the Eagles and Silver Stars: 1.-The
game was not as exciting as Is usually
the case, and but little good playing
was done on either side. Beals, the
pitcher of the Silver Stars, gained the
iaurels of the day for his remarkable
pitching. With the exception OF
Brainard, Of the Red Stockings, lie Is
the best pitcher we have ever seen In
the State. He stands firm, and in
pitching the ball gives the impetus
with his arm entirely, with a peculiar
twist of the wrist, which gives 1t the
appearance of q jerk. Berthrong, the
catcher, did very well, and made the
best score of any of the members OF the
Club. Stroud, Taylor and Curren, OF
the Eagles, all did we'll" The fog

obscures their vision. Those internal
fogs are a big nuisance and give those

an unfair advantage e our boys
who are only used to the clear,
transparent, reliable atmosphere Of
this section. We hope they will come
back soon. A telegram was sent them
this morning from their anxious friends

PrpER's OPERA HOUSE "THE
DUKES Morro."-Last evening John
Brougham's adaptation from the
French Of the very popular and
effective play entitled The D@ke's
Motto, was perSonated for the first
time, the cast embracing nearly the
entire strength of the great dramatic
company. With the exception OF q
few exasperating bitches In h work
ing of the scenery and stage eftects,
the play passed of very smoothly and
satisfactorily to both actors and audi
ence. Barrett personated captain
Lagardere" in his usual truly excel
lent and artistic style. Mestayer as
the "Duke de Gonzaguez," Edwards
as "Carrickfergus," Smith rs the "Re-
gent" and Raymond rs "PeyrOlleS,'
each sustained their respective assump-
lions admirably. Leathes as duke
dc Movers, and French as "Lemuel,"
also succeeded credltably. Miss Cor
don appeared to good advantage as
"Blanche do NeyeIs,"a also did Mrs.
Sophie Edwin, In her personation o fthe
:.Princess Helen" Miss Katy Wilson
made a very pretty, pleasing little
Gipsy girl, rs "'Zillah." The piece Is
n very Interesting one-at some points
quite sensational; IN fact we have sell
dom seen a play which so enchanted
the rapt attention of the audience
throughout. At the closing Of the
fourth act, especially, the Interest OF
the audience wa wrought up TO the
highest pitch, and they waited with
intense impatience for the curtain 70
90 up again, for they longed to see
3Lagardere" out of the decidedly
mixed and exciting situation INTO
which he had so suddenly got. wne
ali was going along so satisfactorily.
He was called before the curtain NJ the
close of the play. The plot OF the
play Is well conceived, marked, anu
none q fail to be most interestediy
pleased with it from beginning to end.
The Dukes Motto will be presented to-
night for the last time, and we cor
| dially advise all who admire 4 truly
excellent play to go and see 1t.
