respectively, Of the most corpulent and

Tom. Duf'seemed ut home on first base,
and his muIhng was rewarded, by lady

in the field was frst.class. He fielded
the balls in 90 quickly that Il was impos.

There was another large crowd about
the telegraph office yesterday afternoon
waiting to hear the result Of the second
game between the Standards aud ALLIE

that neither club had made score in the

however, their faces assumed a more
