THE ITALIAN FESTIVAL.
Mirth, Loyalty, Fun and Terpsic nore n n
Feats.

FeAtSs
In commemoration OF the rwenty.nfth year OF
the reign OF Victor Emmanuel, As well as in view
OF the great holiday which Rome delights In celc-
bratlng in the beginning OF the merry month Of
June, between eight and nine hundred Italian
patriots assembled yesterday ut East River PARK.
1t IS dificut to put on paper full description OF
all the pleasures which the sons OF the sunny soil
had concocted in order to do honor to the occa-
sion. Sunice II to say tnat they were OF charac-
ter that carried memory backward to home days
in the old country, to the gatherings on the grape
crowned hillsldes, and to that full, free, hearty
interchange OF the amenities OF social life
which might well he expected from community

tlonally attractive by uneXceptlonally glorious
weather, we're thronged to the very gates. Promi.

Guard, uniformed In the style OF the Bersagneri OF
Italy. When the Italian Consul Chevalier Fernan-
dino de Luca, arrived on the scene the patriots
drawn up IN line and addressed by him in appro-
pirate terms on the Importance OF the occasion.
II was evident, however, that the hearers OF the
Consul were not al monarchists, lor while his
eloquent appeal In behalf OF Victor Emmanuel met
with great favor from the Piedmontese, there
the part Of those who seemed to think
that republic was not the httest spot on

generally suggests, the AFFAIR was highly appre-
ciated by all who participated. Perhaps the most
remarkable feature presented was the unanimity
OF feeling, to say nothing OF the Joyousness with
which the guests entered into the spirit OF the en-.
tertainment. Amid loyal and patriotic shouts IL
was finally resolved to send o message 10 victor
Emmanuel cOngratulating him on the TACT that
he had reigned twenty-five years as King OF
Italy. 1t was forwarded by Consul de Luca,
ana read to the effect that the Italians OF New
York assembled in large numbers TO celebrate the
national festival OF the statute sent their enthusi-
astc greetings to the King for the happy accom-
plishment OF twenty-five years OF his glorious
reign. Up to a late hour no answer had been re-
ceived from his Majesty, and with that commenda-
bic appreciation OF time, and doubtless aware Of
the fact that the cable works slowly now and
then the gay though decor0us, tbrong betook
themselves to all the pleasures which the resources
OF the East River Park afforded.

The Atlantics Again Whitewashed-A
Clear Beat by Ten to Nothing.
The first game or the championship series be-
tween the Philadelphia and Atlantic clubs was
played on the Union grounds yesterday afternoon
in the presence OF ABOUT 1000 spectators. the re-
suit being an overwhelming defeat for the Atlan-
tics From first to last the home club utterly
failed in their endeavor to hit Cummings with good
effect and not until the eighth inning did they get
man on the nrst base or earn q base hit In the
ninth inning, alter two hands were out, Farron,
OF the Atlantics, got In safe hit to centre neld
and sent to third by Pearce, who hit safe for
bag. 1t now seemed as though the ice would be
broken and that long coveted run obtained; but
Clinton was at the bat, and as he had struck
out twice and fouled out once IL was not gener.
ally supposed he would knock the ball any great
distance out OF sight, although he might possibly
get in some kind OF base hit But he didn't he
struck out
Dehlman was sick, and therefore could not get out
to play, In consequence OF which Chapman had to
take his place. The change was very disastrous
for the Atlantics. they seeming to lose all their
nerve in fielding and allowed the visitors to score
10 runs OF as many base hits The only redeeming
feature Of their fielding was a triple play by West
who caught liner at second base, touched the
bag before Egglcr, who had gone towards third,
could get back and then threw to first base, where
he captured Holdsworth before he could get backto
the base
For the Phlladephias all played well: two
catches by Eggler In centre field ION one Of which
ne made double play being especially note
worthy.
