The sixth game Of the championship series be-

yesterday afternoon, on the Union grounds, in the
presence Of the largest crowd seen on the field
since the 4th of July. The unparalleled game
played Dy the Atlantics and White Stockings on
Friday, seemed to have revived all the latent
enthusiasm OF the ball tossers and lovers,
and the consequence was that they Hooked
to the grounds In hopes OF seeing another
fine game. And they were not disappointed,
though the former game was not equalled nor
approached. So sharp was the fielding OF the New
Workers. and withal faultless that at the end Of
the seventh inning they had but one error charged
to them and the Philadelphians had been unable to
score single run. 1t looked all over as II the
famous Kekionga- Cleveland score Of to 0 would

What Alderman Richardson Says or thu
Land Transaction.
The Withholding of the approval Of the President
of the Kings County Board OF Supervisors from the
action OF the committee who purchased the ground
for the erection OF the proposed armory for
the Thirteenth regiment has created con-
siderable comment in Brooklyn. The title OF
the land, which was purchased for $65,000
from Alderman william Richardson, is al,
legged to have been imperfect. The Legis-
lature appropriated the sum of $4,000
for the erection Of a new armory for the regiment
in question, and OF this amount the Supervisors
committee propose to expend $65, 900, leaving only
$4,000 for the erection Of the building With re.

Five Minutes.

When the Roman Emperor said. ~
have lost a day" he uttered a sadder
fact than II he had exclaimed, II have
lost a Kingdom" Napoleon said the
reason he beat the Austrians was, they
did not know the value OF five minutes.
At the celebrated battle of Rivoli, the
conflict seemed OIL the point Of being
decided against him, he saw the criti.
cal state Of affairs and Instantly took
his resolution. He dispatched a flag
to the Austrians with proposals for an
armistice. The unwary Austrlans fell
into the snare; for a few moments the
thundsrs Of the battle were hushed.
Napoleon seized the precious moments
and while amusing the enemy with
mock negotiations, re-arranged his
line Of battle, changed his front, and,
In q few moments, was ready to re-
nounco the force of discussion for the
arbitrament Of arms. The splendid
victory Of Rivoli was the result. The
great moral victories Of the world are
often turned on five minutes. Men
loiter. time flies, and all the great ill.,
terests OF life arc speeding on with the
sure and silent tread Of destiny.
