the idea that the New-YOrk nine was now inyncible.
The Mutuas opened at the bat, and retired without
scoring the Athletics meeting with no better success.
This result duplicated in the second innings, aud the

third inning the Mutuas secured one earned rum ana al
lowed their opponents to Offset it with three earned by
hard hitting Not another added to the score
until the seventh inning, when the Athletics made two
runs, thus leaving the totals at the close or

ttee said although he had voted Tor the resOu-
ordering distractions TO be removed from ChanDes

rore carfy and could not vote for resolution order
ing the removal OF distractions from Chamberst TO
Battery place He led TO adopt this course partly
from the reading Of written argument by Commissioner
Hunt at the meeting OF the Executive Committee, and
partly from the fact that the Corporation Counsel had
gwen opinion that the Department OF Docks had no
legal right the distractions, and would render

business Of the Executive Committee should not be
disclosed 70 the Board and that for he would not
