catch for his nine In It's game with tho Bostons

TO the Arlington Club. Tho Arnglons, however, de-
ciined loan players mentioned single day, for
tho reason that II Messrs Faon and Sage took part
in a game with professional nine they would be
debarred from playing any amateur contest during

The Cheap Transportation Associntion of
New York is orgauized on business basiat
anl hos practical influence In tho mnttera
to which it gives its Intention. 1n its recent
controversy with VANDERBILT relative to the
cutting Of rates, its position was 30 fair that
it made mn impression oven upon tho r0il-
roads. It opposes tho cut~thEoat policy rs
we'll rs tho combination for high rates. It's
members havo tho good sonse to appreciate
that temporary reduction Of rates below
paying point will only be followed, after the
fight ia over, by an incroase sufficiently cx-
orh,tant to mnko up for the pnst losses.
TlcY also know thnt Western rates from Now
York at too low price, aId those from tic
Of no permanent value to them; md they
oppose tho systom Of special rates which
VASpEanIL7 commended were in the interest
of New York. because they knew that it
simply affords The rai}road managers IN
opportunity for showing favoritism in
which tho larger number Of merchants hive
no advantage. BY constantly watching the
railroad manonvcra, promptly exposing tue
exorbitant rates, aud vigorously protesting
against DETERMINATIONS and injustice OF every
kind, this Association has hacn milo to acconl-
1lish much for the mercantile community.
It would be- well for the merchants, COM
mission men, anl shippers to form a similar
Association In this city, and there will never
be creator incentive for such q step than

tious against Chicago, growing out Of tho

to give bail, His bontlsman purportod to be

aoceptod, Snyder nbacondod, aud 1t was tlis-
covered TINT III. EADEs hna not given bail for
him at all, but TINT ha had bcon falsely per-
sonated BY somebody else. A fresh search
was instituted for the rascal who had assumed
tho na,ne Of EADes and thus facilitated the
escnpo Of Snyder, Ho was at last discovered
In the person Of Baltimore barber named
0RsKs. 30 GnsES was brought to trial.
The proof against him was perfectly conclu-
awe, but, to the surprise OF tho Judges and
the amazoment Of everybody elHo, tho Jury
failed to convict. Tho .naturn1 Inference In
