The National Game.


This was the first game of the championship
series between the Boston nine and the Ceve.
land Forest City club, and was played on the
Boston grounds, in the presence of about Il
thousand spectators. The western men won by
a score of eight to seven, after game, little
tedious at first, but quite interesting during the
last half, when the Red Stockings seemed to
realize that they must work to win. The chief
feature of the game was the unapproachable
play of the Cleveland catcher, j. White. This
was not faultess by any means, several balls
being passed by White, while McVey passed
none; but it was unequalled in grace and
quickneSs of movement. On the other side,
McVey took decided lead, playing most adj
mirably. Excepting McVey, Wright Schafer
and Cone, the Red Stockings were unsuccessful
with Pratrs pitching; and jackson, Spalding
and Barrows failed to earn base
The Red Stockings will play the first game of
their championship series with the Mutuals next
Saturday, on the Boston grounds This is like
" to be the best game ofthe season here. Next
Wednesday they will meet the Kekiongas Of
Fort Wayne, for the first time, and on the fol-
lowing Saturday the second game with the
Harvards will be played. The latter will be the
last game of the Reds here for a month, as they
leave on the evening of that day for their long
tour to the west

THE New YORK STEAM ENGINE WORKS,
which for eight years have been located on
Washington street, near the Providence depot,
will remove from there to Passaic, N j., about
the first of August. The shops in which the
company will locate there are on the line of the
Eric railroad, eleven miles from New York city,
and the power is taken directly from the Passaic
river by means of a Leffell water wheel. A
great saving is looked for in the price of trans
porting iron, coal and moulding sand, and also
in sendiug their manufactures to market, as
most of the machinery made by the company
finds its market west of the Hudson. About 100
men are employed at the works here, which
number will be increased considerably at the
Passaic works. The largest pieces of machinery
building at the works now are large univer-
sal drill for use in drilling plates for menof-war
at the Charlestown navy yard, and two lathes
for turning engine wheels, for railroads in the
west and south.

TIE ORLEANS PRINCES.
VERSAILLES, June 14.-The Journal Oficiel
denies the report that the Orleans princes dined
with NJ. Theirs, and says Prince de Joinville and
Duke dAumale visited NJ. Theirs Unexpectedly
During the interview the president said, that al
though he was once minister in the government
of his father, King Louis Philippe, he was to-
day the head of republic. There was nothing
significant in the visit of the princes. They I'M

barrassed in the presence of these noble and
illustrious princes.

All the journals approve OF the coming visit OF
the assembly to Paris, and regard the fact as an
approach to genuine reconciliation with the
PariSians. The Gauche publishes a manifesto
to the Paris electors against monarchy, and
in favor of a republic. In order to combat Bona
partist intrigues, the deputies propose to i'm

TRoCHU CONTINUES HIS "REMINISCENCES"
PARIS, June 14.-ln the assembly, to-day,
Gen. Trochu continued his speech in defence of
his administration Of military affairs. He gave
minute account of the sorties during the Ger
man siege of Paris, and of the reasons for max
ing them. He attributed their defeat to the fact
that the Germans used their artillery only. The
French, he believed, would have beaten the Ger
man infantry if they could have engaged them.
His main plan had been for a grand sortie to-
wards Rouen, but, after the victory of Coul-
mers, public opinion demanded Il junction of
the garrison of Paris with the army of the Loire,
which was sheer madness. One of the greatest
disasters to the conduct of the defense was the
disorderly elementiin Paris, which was instigat-
ed to rebel by Bismarck, and, to this end, fur
nished with arms from the enemy outside the
city. He stigmatized the commencement of
the bombardment by the Germans, without
formal notice, as an unparalleled violation of
the rules of civilized warfare.

LONDON, June lathe Times, in an editorial
to-day, says of the treaty of Washington that
it was not England alone who yielded some of her
claims. The United States also make great con-
cessions. The Times considers il unprecedented
that such grave difference between nations as
the Alabama claims should have been settled
without resort to arms. The demand for con-
Sequential damages for injury done American
commerce by the Alabama and kindred vessels
was unacceptable to the English commissioners,
and was abandoned by the United States. The
Times, in conclusion, expresses the hope that,
lean question, the nations of Europe will rise to
Il higher conception of the aims and duties of
international fellowship.
