BAsE-BALL.-Yesterday afternoon in q
match game of baseball between the De
triot professionals and the Richmond clubs
the latter were defeated by a score Of 10 TO
6. rhe game was one OF much interest,
and quite a crowd was in attendance, i'll
Guiding many ladies. The best feeling pre-
vailed, and every one seemed satisfied,
notwithstanding the home club did not
play as well as usual. The Detroit is
line club; decidedly the best that bias ever
visited this city. To-day another game
will be played, and Mr.. Bennett, the cham
pion catcher of the world, viii catch for
the Detroits, and some fine playing will be
done.
Dir. Graves acted as umpire yesterday
most satisfactorily.

Messrs. Bernard and Holt sharing inc

INDUSTRIAL AND ART EXPOSITION.

SANGER HALLE.
Although only short notice had been
given the public, Sanger Halle was well
filled last night with an appreciatiYe audi
ence TO hear the concert given by Dod-
worth's land. TO say that concert was
a success is 10 say much, but all who heard
II pronounce that given last night such an
one. The band has eighty-tmee members,
and + really 4 fine-!ooking body OF men.
The programme embraced many familiar
airs. and every piece was so well executed
that il would be impossible for us to say
which was the best.
Signor A. Liberati gave two cOrnet solos,
Mfr. Pfeincnschneider trombone solo, and
Signor Ralayalo euphoneum solo. Each
had to respond TO an encore.
Should Mr.. Dodworth favor us with
another concert he may certainly expect
crowded house.

CHuRcn-DEDIcATIoS IN HAN0yER.-Just
one year ago Forest-Groye church, in Han
over county, four miles west Of Ashland,
was burned. The congregation at once
determined 20 rebuild, and on last Sunday
fhc new building was dedicated to its holy
uses.
The dedieatory sermon was preached by
Rev. Mr.. ID. NJ. James, OF Ashland, from
tie text, "Godhness Is profitable unto all
all things" The address was an able ex-
position OF the passage, fun of sound adj
rice, and at times really eloquent. At its
conclusion the usual ceremony incident TO
10 such occasions was performed by The
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Allen. The congregation
remained TO partake Of bountiful dinner
prepared for the occasion, as also TO attend
q mass Sabbath-sehool meeting In the az
fernoon. These were very interesting, con-
sisting OF singing and addresses. The mu-
sic during all the exercises, led by the
church choir, was OF very high order, and
received the need OF praise which 1t justly
deserved.

EXPOSITION AT REGIMENTAL ARNORY-
PRESERVATION or A FLAG TO THE FIRST
REGIMENT OF VIRGINIA WORCESTERSHIRE
Ar1nOry last night was the scene OF life
and beauty. Throngs OF pretty ladies
promenaded with bold soldier-boys in gay
uniforms. At 0 O'Clock, in view of the
great assemblage OF visitors, beautiful
flag was unfmled, and the clear, soft voice
of Hon. A. NJ. Kelley was heard breaking
In upon the cheerful laugh OF the merry
ihrong and soon hushed the din Of tongues.
Mrs. Philip HaXall handed the flag to
Mr.. Kelley, who on behalf Of the ladies Of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the First Regiment
Virginia volunteers. The presentation
speech was characteristic OF the speaker,
full OF appropriate oratorical elegance.
Colonel John Il. Purcell accepted the flag
in a speech Of good taste, and received
warm applause.
The flag was designed by w. J.. Shep-
pard, ESQ, and manufactured by Marx
Mitteldorfer, and Is indeed very handsome.
Ii Is made OF blue silk, with gilt tassels and
old-gOld colored fringe. The staff Is sur
mounted with gilded eagle. On one side
Is Virginia's coat-of-arms and SIC Semper
IyrdHRiS, on the other side is inscribed in
gilt letters, " Presented TO the First Regi-
meat Of Virginia Volunteers by the Ladies
of Richmond, October II, 1884,"
The ladies OF the Ladies' Bazaar Associa-
tion, 1t Is understood, were chiefly instru-
mental in securing for the regiment this
handsome flag, which ought TO be, and
doubtless will be, highly priced.

MINNEAPOLIS BARRIERS are considera-
bly, worked up on account Of an al.
legged insult to a lady by a colored
barber, on Sunday evening at about
. ?: N. The lady says that She was
hurrying along Washington Ave. on
her way home. when the negro accost-
ca her and keeping by her side for
two blocks continued to offer insult.
ing remarks; the man claims that the
woman first spoke to him, saying
good evening; but when she discoy-
cred his color threatened to call the
police. 1t seems rather strange that
a lady would suffer any man to walk
by her side for the distance of two
blocks on Washington Ave-, ali the
time offering insults, without crying
out to the police, when every one
knows that in so public. place her
call would not have been UNDECIDED.
we would De among the last to say
aught against the protection Of limo
cence and virtue, but under such sus.
plclous circumstances as attend this
case, the facts should be carefully
inquired into before man is publicly
accused of such an offence as the one
brought against this barber.

AS two of the judges upon the SUI
preme bench were formerly Mr..
Chamberlain's paid attorneys, and as
it is questioned whether the present
attorney general is in sufficient sympa-
thy with the people to vigorously
press their cause to a successful ter.
mination, the whole transaction has
much the appearance Of a put-up job
similar to that iii the United States
supreme court. referred to in lengthy
communication in this issue. In that
we'll known action Selah G Chamberlain,
bondholder, brought suit against
Se]ah Chamberlain, railroad stock
owner. to recover upon his bonds, and
the attorneys of the latter presented
their cause in such manner as to
draw out a favorable decision in favor
of the former. andithe judges Of course
found in accordance with the evidence
adduced. The taxpayers Of this state
are thoroughly educated upon the SUBJ
ject, and will permit no trihing with
their interests. No proposition should
be entertained for moment which
does not comprehend a submission to
the legal voters at general election.

AT the present writing there is
some prospect Of the effort to make
Kanabec, Pine, Chisago and Mile
Laos counties into legislative dis
trict proving failure. If this ar.
rangement is carried out it will leave
Mile Laos virtually without legisla-
ton, and though we are but small
part Of Minnesota, we think we are
entitled to small voice in the legis.
lature. The old Dist. suits us very
we'll, leave us there.
