THE BALI FIELD.
The Manhattans Badly Beaten-Wbat is
Thought Of the Nationals.


The game yesterday between the Douglass
and Manhattan clubs proved disappoint.
mont to the many spectators attending to wit.
ness the contest. 1t was evidently su off day
with the Manhattans, and 1t Is difficult to seu
now they could have played worse IL they had
deliberately tried TO do so. Their short'stop
is a generous young man, and In two innings
managed to present his opponents with nine
runs. 1t is ditiicnlt to toll how much more he
would have done IN the same direction had he
not been transferred to another position. The
great lead secured by the Douglassos, and en-.
tirely owing to bad playing of the other side,
served to completely demoraize the Manhat-
tans, and Us consequence they found them
selves badly whipped. The Douglass nine
played steadily, and as n consequence run.
getting on tho other side WIS worry difficult,
ana when the game closed the score was
twenty'threc to four in favor Of the Doug
lasses.
Tho Star club visited Baltimore yesterday
and defeated the Peabodys of that city by a
score OF ten tn three. The playing Of tho
stars was fine and their batting quite heavy.
As the National club will soon return home
and resume playing upon their own grounds,
1t will not be amiss TO show what is thought of
them abroad. The following is clipped from
yesterdays New York Hsrdd: The playing
OF the National club of Washington, d. G., has
been remarkably fine ever since they entered
the arena. Not only have they gone ahead Of
the other clubs of their body, but they have
been more than a match for tho leading clubs
OF tho league ITSELF Sin " they arrived in this
community their playing has attracted univer-
sal admiration among baseball men,

NEW HAVEN, July 3.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. LighthiH and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty-six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing. Of late years it at tackled my hearing, impairing it to consid- erable extent, and as itikept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lighthills pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill efectually removed the catarrhal com plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. I know Dr. Lighthill's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthill's efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and I feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnin will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is master of his profession.

For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, and dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and Nervous Sys- tenn, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at tended his efforts. His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases; and it is one of the happy flea lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva- riably be given as to the possibihties-of cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present a reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. Lighthill's professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience.
