Potatoes look very favorably, although the potato-bug has appeared in some localities. We have noticed some very fine potatoes from the garden Of John s. Platt. Tobacco is backward. It is said that D. N. Garfield takes the lead in this crop, but we think we have seen crop under the cultivation of Nelson Hull that will equal it. S.
 On Saturday. the Washington nine played their home and home game with the Nameless club of Litchfeld. The opening promised very interesting game. The Washingtons scored two in the first inning, and blanked their opponents by 8 fine double play of their short stop (Moore), putting out ". Richards at 3d and Mower at 2d. They seemed unable, however, to ''get the hang of Mowers under-hand throws, going out in quick succession on ''strikes," or on short hits to 2d or 3d base. where Brown and G. Richards never failed to take merciless advantage of their weakness. Still the fielding of the Washingtons was so sharp as to hide for season their want of suc- cess at the bat. Moore took a hot ball from Roberts in really beautiful style, and a long fly sent over by Hale to left field was captured by Woodruff. At the end of the second inning, G. Richards gave the Nameless two by a magnificent hit clear to the fence in centre field, bringing in Mower and making clean home run himself.
 In the fourth inning, v however, the Litchfeld boys made long stride ahead. Two men were on bases, when Roberts made one of those lucky hits in among the buildings of the right field which so often decide games on the Washington ball ground We very well recollect seeing the Litchfeld ''Duttons" slaughtered by the New Milford "Weantinaugs" on just such hit, years agol.i On this hit Rob- erts made home run, brought in Judd and Brown and the inning closed with score of g to in favor of Litchfeld.
 From this point the lead of the Litch- field club was largely increased in each inning, while the Washingtons made few additions to their score and were three times white-washed. Their defeat was de- cisive and plainly Unbelievable. In fact the Nameless is not an easy club to beat. Their pitching is very hard to hit, and their in-ield capital A club that could drive Mower balls into theoutlfeld migEt beat the Nameless, but this is precisely what the Washington nine cannot do. We look with much interest to the games that are to come off soon between our club and the Empires of Thomaston, Nutmegs of Wolcottville, and Red Caps of Northfeld. We give the score by innings: ts., 7 19 INNINGS.
