Dallas. November 3 The Gulf City
base bail club of Galveston arrived
this morning, and to-day played the
first of series of three games with the
Dallas Brown Stockings. a fair
audience for Saturday witnessed the
game. 1t was the poorest exhibition
of bnse ball skill that has been fur
nished on the Dallas grounds this sea-
son. Both clubs made many wretched
errors, the Brown Stockings in that
respect eclipsng the Gulf Citys. Four
runs were scored by the latter in the
first inning on passed balls by Ma
loughney, the catcher of the Browns.
He was then removed and sent TO
left field where he was no less unf0rt-
innate, missing several easy fly balls
aud allowing two more runs to be
scored. The game ended by score
OF II to s in favor of the Gulf Citys.
The Browns batted Murphy, the pro-
fessional player from the indianapolis
club, more freely than any they have
faced this year in strong team, while
the Gulf Citys only made two safe
hits of of Colt, and had the latter been
well supported the game would have
proved a Waterloo for Galveston. The
Gulf Citys were fairly entitled to their
victory, although the playing was
in no way creditable to
clubs of such fame as themselves and
the Browns. The two teams play
again tomorrow and on Monday also,
IL the weather remains favorable.

There Is great complaint among
merchants Mt the delay they are sub
jected TO in the receipt of goods ship,
ped from Eastern markets. Some o
the delays on shipments from st
Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago and othcl
points have run up almost TO two
months, and serious litigation is the
natural outcome. Several business
men who had goods delayed nearly
three days by the burning of the
bridge on the Texas Central near Pal,
