WHAT THE SALooNIsrs SAY ABOUT
THE LICENSE QuEsr1oN.-A reporter OF
this paper conversed with a number Of
saloon keepers on Saturday, and ascer.
tanned their views upon the license ques.
ton. 0fcourse they unanimously favor.
ed q reduction Of licenses, and were all
quite ready 10 argue the justice and pro.
priety Of reduction. In anawer TO an
inquiry, as 10 whether the usual number
would apply for licenses in case Of no re.
ductiOn, the reply In every instance was
that there would be a large falling oil, a.
no money had been made In the
business, and many had lost money,
during the past year. One prominent
Market street saloon keeper asserted that
not more than two.thirds Of those now
engaged in tho business could afford to
take out new licenses at the old figures.
Our representative called this gentle.
mans attention TO the fact that the same
argument had been used last year, but
that after the license had been fixed at
$500 for coffee houses and $3.50 for ordi.
naries the saloon men fell into line,
and instead Of the receipts Of the city
from that that source being dunn.
ished they we're considerably in.
creased. The truth Of this statement
was acknowledged by the liquor MN,
who explained Il by saying that many
were compelled TO stay In the business on
account otthe amount Of monty they had
invested, and which would DO dead loss
unless they could dispose OF their fixtures,
furniture, ETC., while others had leased
their places Of business for number Of
years, and would 10 held for the rent.
The saloons in the vicinity Of the mills
and glass houses, which are patronized
exclusively by laboring men, were
not able TO pay the $500 license
and would be compelled to
close. In his opinion reduction in the
number Of saloons would not inure to the
benefit Of those that remained, as the
patrons Of those unable to take out the
license would buy their whisky by the
bottle and carry il home to drink.
The saloon men were very reLiCent
concerning the meeting held by them in
Beck's Block on Saturday, and refused to
give any information on the subject. As
general thing they arc confident the
licenses will be reduced, claiming that
the city cannot afford to lose any part Of
the revenue derived from that source.

BASE BALL.-No GAME .-Notwith-
standing the threatening weather on
Saturday afternoon about 800 persons,
including quite n number OF the fair sox,
assembled at the Fair Grounds to witness
the game OF base ball between the Buck
eyes, Columbus pet nine, and the Stand
ards, OF this city. The rains Of the pre-.
vlous day and Saturday morning had
made the grounds so muddy that il was
almost impossible to play. The game
was commenced at 3:l5P. NJ. with the home
club at the bat, and by m error Of the
Ohio boys scored one and in turn blanked
the visitors. The second inning resulted
in whitew ash for both clubs. In the
third inning the Standards we're again
treated to hard boiled goose egg.
The visitors now came in with The
determination Of scoring, and by good
safe base hits and numerous errors on
the part Of the home club, succeeded in
making only Sruns. 1t was truly anus.
ing to see the different sized Buck.
eyes flying over the field. Big
Buckeyes, little Buckeyes, slim Buck.
eyes, fat Buckeyes, crooked Buck
eyes and straight Buckeyes were
all hustled around the bases in fine style,
the Wheeling boys doing their level best
in aiding them 10 bring their score up to
an even hundred. In the fourth inning
the home club had two men cut when the
rain, which had been threatening, came
down in torrents, putting n stop to the
game and saving "our boys" from defeat.
The Buckeyes will leave for Pittsburgh
this morning, and will return and play
with the Standards again on Wednesday,
when We hope to witness a less one.sided
game. This afternoon and tomorrow the
Fries, OF Erie, Pa, will cross bats with
the Standards. Bring outa large crowd
and encourage the boys.
