AND ATLANTIC cLUDs-ATLANIIcs BEATEN.
The second game OF the championship series be-
tween the ST. Louis Club ana the Atlantics, OF
Brooklyn, was played on the Union Grounds yes
terday afternoon. Contrary TO expectation, the
Atlantics delded in such excellent style as to
prevent their adversaries from scoring more than
two runs in the game, although they were them
selves unable to tally more than q single run.
The game was played with dead Dali, but was
marked py heavy ny hits TO the out field on both
sides. These caused the mouotonOus continua-
tion OF whitewashes. In the first inning Pearce
made base hit and tailed on passed balls by
Knowdell ana a wild throw by Clinton. In the
third inning Pike oatted safely for HIS base and
scored on nun by Fleet, OF Knowdels throw,
and passed ball. The Atlantics' run procured
in the second inning was earned by three base
hit of Paoor, followed by Nichols one baser. Clln-
ton pitched and fieded splendldly, while the base
play OF cassidy and the outheding or MCGEE de-
serve favorable mention. The St. Louis men
played larly, Pike and Watt, who took Outh-
Oert's place at lett field, leading In the helding.

Yachting at this seaside resort Is at an end for

made in good season, ana the Tanapoosa was
ready to take the committee over the course but
the absence OF wind caused a delay uutil two

Tallapoosa notified the gentlemen in charge OF
the affair that he was unable to longer remain,

the idea that there is no backward step in

give harmony and commencement to the peo-

We do not mean to intimate that We have
any serious apprehension Of blunders. Tbe
volume of public feeling is too strong aud
too diguified to admit Of impulsive capers
and egotistical obtuseness. The marplots
will by force OF circumstances be kept pretty
generally in their places. The time for such
persons is when things have not assumed
shape and great movements have not be- gun.

and crying out "sharge." The great army
does not heed these fiery persons, who are
found often TO be the tirst to eat the leek.
When the real action begins they sze not
very conspicuous. They often drop behind
to look after deserters. We conjecture that
in this great revolution the right men will
get 10 right places. The solid and steEdy

THE New YORK PRESS ON THE CoNHEcTIcuT
ELECTION, New York Herald says !:
.sTbe result of the Connecticut election
gives the Democratic party no reason for
discourag ement if its leaders will have the
wisdom to allure Bourbonism once Tor all,
and if their opponents shall persist in their
allegiance to Grant in spite OF his tbird-te1m
aspirations"
The World ascribes the victory to the &C.
tiyity and vigor OF the Democratic pirty OF
Connecticut, the holiness and prudence OF
the Democratic State Central Committee, the
petfect record Of Governor lpgersoll, ana
the excellent hard.money, free.trade, ana
home-rule platform upon which Senator
Eaton and Mr.. Wells united for the ree'tab-
lisbment of the foundations Of true De-
mocracy.
The Times says the Republican leaders
made mistake in asking the people TO en-
dorse the policy of cce:cion. 1t says what
ever the Independent Republicans may think
Of the Democratic party, they "are WllllDS
TO trust it far enough and long enough TO
express in an unmislakable manner their
disapprobation of the present position oil
some Republican leaders. In short, the peo-
pie want peace, and they are fully determin'
I'd TO have it,"
The Tribune says the first and most OBJ
yious lesson of this election is that the cam
didate who thought tia good way TO com.
mend himself to favor, 10 fire one hundred
Guns in honor of the Presidents interter-
ence with a State Legislature, will have little
further occasion to make an ass Of himself
in public. Mr.. Greene is not elected Gov
ernor of Connecticut. The Administration
made the fight distinctly as an Adminstra-
ton fight, and the result is a little worse de-
feat than that of last Sear.'
