year up TO last night was Si76 81, which,
with the anniversary proceeds and next
Sundays contributions, will probably
reach 500 The reports showed careful
attention to duty by the officers.
Letters OF greeting were received from
earnest Sunday school workers in every
part Of the land, assuring Of sympathy In
the schools great work and encouraging
teachers not to be "weary In well doing

OFF FOR ALBANY.
Hasty Departure Of the Nationals
for the North.
An Arrangement Made with the Albanys to
Play the Unfinished Gamcs-Tho Audac-
ity OF the Albany Manageable
Providence Nine Defeat the
Nationals by q Score
OF Nine to Two.

The Nationalslert here last night on the New
York train to play the Albauys the two re-
m aiming championship games due between
these two clubs.
Some six weeks ago Manager Scanlon made
proposition 10 tho Albanys to finish the
series, Offering to guarantee $500 or take the
same, play the games here or in Albany, and
dcsig mating Mr.. Robert Ferguson as umpire.
A bout ten days ago he received an answer
from Manager Arnold that owing to other
engagements the Albanys could not play the
games this season. Last Saturday Manager
Arnold tclegraphed that he would accept the
proposition, and named to-day and tomorrow
to play tho games, with Wednesday for an
exhibition game. At the same time he pro-
posed that the two clubs should play their
present teams, and there should be no impor.
tations on either side specially secured for
these contests. When It is stated that prior
to sending tho offer to play, Albany had
strengthened their nine as much as possible.
and believed themselves sufficiently strong
to secure victory, thon made the proposal that
each club should play their existing nine at
date, the proposition looked exceedin gly
cheeky. The Nationals, however, would not
take water on their challenge, aud the nine
was dispatched to carry 1t cut With all the
changes the Albanys have the team sent from
here believe that they are able to cope with
them and promised their friends on departing
that they should do their utmost to win. The
score oftho games will be received by innings
at Scanlon's and the other places where the
returns have been announced in previous
games. As these games will finish the season
for the Nationals, some of their players will
not return here. The men signed thus far for
next year are Lynch, Trott Derby, Baker,
Mcclellan and Latham. To these are to be
added Snyder and Gerhardt. Two more men
are wanted and will be secured in good time.
Two of the Sunday papers yesterday published
what purported to be the correct average OF the
Nationals for the season. This was little
premature, as the season has not yet closed,
and consequently when the Albany games arc
played the average will be somewhat different.
The Nationals and Providcnces.
The game between the Provdonces and Ma.
tionals last Saturday resulted directly the re.
verse of the one played OH the day previous
The visitors started out by batting Lynch
pretty strongly, and in the first two innings
secured seven runs, earning four. After thai
Derby went in to pitch, and for seven innings
the Provdences only added two runs to thci
score. The home team neither battca no.
tielded as well as they did in the first game
and obtained only two runs.
Appended is the score:
