In reply to Mr.. Miners communication
in reference to what we said about the leader
of one of our brass bands, we would say, that
we mentioned neither name of party or
band, and if Mr.. NJ. had not been guilty, he
could not have taken offence ot what we
said. We did not intend to slur anybody,
but told the truth 50 far as we knew or were
informed. Mr.. NJ, has willfully nicknamed
party who is not at all interested in this
matter, and that we consider much more of
slur than anything that can be construed
from our article. QUARTzFERE.

BASE BALL.

Lovers of the national game will do well to
visit the ball grounds at Ogden Park this
evening at 8 O'Clock, as there will be Il lively
tussle between two first class nines-the r.
i. Lees and the Lone Stars. Since their or
ganzation the Lone Stars have played four
games, and have succeeded in taking their
opponents into camp every time The Stars
are determined to come out at the end OF the
ball season with a clean record. The other
mines here are very sanguine that they can
beat the Stars. The Lees, we understand,
have still further strengthened their nine by
the addition of one or two more strong players,
showing that they are determined to defeat
the Stars il it can possibly be done by any OF
the local PLAYERS.

design and shape, and gave evidence of the
cultured taste of that veteran corps. The
