The ministerial delegates are hampered In their

necessarily maintained with respect to all matters
which REFER however remotely TO the war in France
and the probable termination of the siege OF Paris,
and the consequences thereof.
The diplomats act in this wise indeed, under royal
order from the different sovereIgns whom they rep

Postponement OF Yesterdays Announced

$500 between the chestnut gelding Hickory, to

ness and the match OF Mr.. James Browns
road team, Dandy Jim and Edwin Forrest,
for $1,000 against time, were postponed until
tomorrow in consequence OF the bad condition
OF tile track. The severe rain OF Sunday
washed 1t out In several places, and wOrkmen
have since been busily employed in filing up and
leveng II of. Quite large number OF gentlemen
and several ladies' were on hand to witness the
con. ests expecting them to be Of exciting nature,
and they departed quite disappointed.
The management Of Fleetwood nave determined
to make two or three essential changes in the matter
of those who shall In the future frequent the club
house, and that part OF the grand stand devoted
to the ladies. An ornamental iron fence will
be put In position to encircle the house. and when
finished none but members Will be allowed within
the enclosure and at the house-a change quite
cOmmendable and due to those gentlemen who are
yearly subscribers.
AT the same time that portion OF the grand stand
farthest from the club house will be arranged for the
accommodation Of the ladies' and the necessary
toilet rooms at once constructed. This change Is
also very proper, and IS worthy OF praise.

lBaso Rall Notes,

The game in Troy yesterday afternoon between
the Keklongas OF Fort wayne and the Haymakers
had rather unsatisfactory termination. During
the progress OF the contest the ball they using
became ripped, ana the Haymakers demanded that
the Kcklongas furnish another The Western men
very properly refused to do So and in consequence
the umpire Mr. Isaac Leroy, the close OF the sixth
inning declared the PANE won by the Haymakers by
u score oil to o. Such action on the part OF Mr..
Leroy was wholly Unwarrantabe and Is without q
precedent. Section |, rule 8. governs the Altter,
and Is Ollows:-
The game shall consist of nine innings each side when,
should the number OF he equal the play shall be
tinued until Majority runs, equal number Ut
innings shall be declared which shall conclude the game,
unless In such 1t be mutually agreed upon by the
captains OF the two mines to consider tbs drawn
But In OF such agreement, the parties refusing to
play matter from what shall forfeit the ball, and
the game thus forfeited snail be recorded by
n of nine All innings must be concluded
al the time the third hand is put out
AT the time the dispute arose the game stood SIX
to three In favor or the kekiougas.
