Baseball.

Quite an interesting game of baseball was
played at New Windsor on Saturday last be-
tween the Insignifcants of that place and the
Westminster Base ball Club. Although the
game was not closely contested, yet good
play frequently received applause. Gernand' S
pitching was very effective up to the sixth in
ming, the Insignfcants securing only two
runs, when he met with very unfortunate
mishap, breaking the third finger of his right
hand DIR. Hewson, of Philadelphia, being
on the ground, rendered the necessary atten-
ton. Ciernand, assisted by Gist and Grouse,
made triple play in the third inning Two
double plays were scored to the Insignifcants
and one to Westminster. The catching of
Clabaugh and the general playing of G. Ban
kert deserve praise. The following is the
score

Meeting of the school Board.

| The School Board, which held the regular
monthly meeting on Monday last, regretted to
have to reject several pressing applications
! for new school houses to replace old dilapi-
dated buildings still in use, though they have
| been condemned as unfit for longer service by
/ all conversant with them; and for houses In
other places, which have latterly improved so
rapidly and become so populouS that school
accommodations in these destitute locations
have become an absolute necessity. But, I'M
fortunately, no action can now be taken on
any of these pressing applications, however
imperative the necessity, which all freely ad-
nit, in consequence of the uncertainty, thus
far, of the acquisition, in time for building
this year, of sufficient funds for the purpose.
