| The largest concourse OF people seen on q ban
field this year assembled at the Union Grounds, VIII
liamsburg, yesterday afternoon to witness the return
match between the giants OF tho ball protessoD-the
Mutuals, OF tnis city, and the Athletics, of Phila-
| delphia. As early as one O'Clock tho admrerl
| or the game began to wend their way toward
| the scene OF the prospective operations, and BY
/ quarter past two not less than four thousand had
| passed within the enclosure. This number was
steadily increased by the npouring tnr0ng from all
| quarters until the assemblage was estimated al
| eight thousand which was probably about the &C.
| tual number present, although nearly twice that
number witnessed the contest from the neighb0rlna
housetops. windows and steps. and from holes the
| fence and temporarily erected stands ana wagons
| which were standing In the surrounding streets.
One very noticeable feature In connection with this
| game was the vast number Of carriages OF every
| description which were congresated at the lower
end OF the field, and nearly oil OF which were heavily
freghted with beautiful ladies ana gallant men.
| The Mutuas, as Is their custom, were promptly on
the field some time before the hour for the COM
mencement of the game had arrived and spent the
intervening time IN batting "funyo' and CATCH
ing and throwing the ball. Owing to an
unavoidable delay In getting their baggage from
the depot where 1t had been care essly left by the
ckpreSS agent, Tue A!uietlcS uu not appear on tue
ground until twenty-five minutes OF four O'Clock, In
consequence OF which It was ten minutes or four be-
fore the game commenced. Notwithstanding this
long delay, the Immense crowd,
LIKE ALL NEW YORK AssEMBLAGEs,
renamed good natured to tn last, and passed the
time away In cracking Jokes. looking for good
places to sit down and specializing to what the
result OF the match would be- Tne great majority
OF them seemed To be oil the opinion That Now YORK
would win. ana the betting fraternity invested
their stamos accordingly. At the pool stand the
Mutuals had the call ut 100 10 ~, with any
number OF takers. Indeed. the Phlladelpnians VINO
accompanied their pets see ned To have remarkably
plethoric pockelbooks, evidently having won nice
