a. Z. Cohen, of this city, acted as umpire,
and 81. NJ. Crane and Cliff Wass were the
scorers. As will be seen by the score there
was some remarkably good playing on both
sides, and some playing by certain individuals
in both clubs which is just as remarkable for
its poor quality OF course our boys have
several points to mention as the cause of their
defeat, and claim that as club they played
the best game, catching nearly double the num-
Der of fly balls over rtheiropponents. Upon the
very outset Capt. Hawkins, of our club was
badly hurt in one of his hands and had to
withdraw from the contest, and this probably
was one Of the chief causes of Albany's defeat.
1t makes no difference now where the fault
IS; the score is against Linns, and it will
take third game to tell the tale The time
and place for the third game is not yet settled,
but it will probably come off in about two
weeks. By-the-way our boys think they
were not treated altogether right at Eugene,
but even if they were not, the sooner they
allow the matter to blow over, the better it
viii be. We are fully convinced that they
have just grounds for complaint in several
instances, but because hoodlums lwho are
hardly responsible for their actions on account
Of their early raisingl acted so very ungentle-
manly towards them, they should not, and do
not, seek to fasten the disgrace of abused
hospitality upon the members of the Univer-
sity Club. or the city of Eugene, as has been
intimated by the Register. We have con-
versed with nearly all the FIRST nine and quite
number of the Club besides, and thsy
authorize Us to say that the article in the
Register does not reflect the sentiment Of their
Club, and they do not wish to be held re-
spensible for it 1t was written the day after
the contest when every one was warmed up
on the subject, and is not exactly true rep
resentation OF the feeling now existing in our
city. Besides, the editor of the DEMOCRAT
was present on that occasion and saw no
cause for these structures on the part of the
Register While some unusually impolite
manifestations were made by irresponsible
parties present, there was a noticeable dis
approval by the better class OF EugOne citi-
zens, and their fair city should not be de-
famed because of these unavoidable blunders

Inns steamer.

As most of our citizens know this FIRE
engine was sent down to Portland week or
so ago to have it repaired. It returned last
Tuesday night, and the work done on st seems
to have been OF the very best. The upper
hues, which were originally of gas-pipe, hara
been replaced by new ones manufacture,
from copper, and they viii probably last as
long as the engine a great many of the old
fues had rusted until they altogether failed
to do their duty, and these repairs had to be
made or the engine laid up. The City Council
chose the former line of action, and although
it will cost nice little sum of money, we
consider that under the circumstances it will
be well spent. Last Wednesday the boys
had the engine out on trial, and it worked
very nicely. Ten pounds Of steam was raised
in about eight minutes, and when the gauge
showed 80 lbs, the engine was throwing about
l55 feet of solid water up hill through FIVE
sections of hose If the engine IS properly
cared for it viii last for years, and as it is
now city property the authorities should sec
to it that it receives no bad usage

Our feIlow-townsman Johnny Schmeer ar
rived in this city last Monday, having come
across the mountains from 0ehoco. He was
accompanied by Henry Gray, who lives near
Halsey Knowing that they would find con-
siderable snow in the mountains they left
their horses at the Des Chutes and made the
remainder of the journey on foot. About
twelve miles this side of Camp Polk they
struck the snow line on the Mckenzie road,
and did not find clear road until they had
Travelled about eighteen miles, the snow for
that distance averaging about five feet in
depth Mr. S informs US that times are
lively IN the Crooked River and 0choco
country on account Of the presence of quite
number OF cattle buyers. He says that the
mining excitement in the 'soap-hole" country
doesn't amount to much this spring, but that
gravel and placer mining is going on at the
Doutkis diggings. About fifteen or twenty
men are at work there and are making good
wages
