BASE BAIL.
An Overwhelming Defeat of the Reserves by
the Nirginias.


the Nirginias.
There was match game OF ball played
at the Virginia Park yesterday afternoon
between the Virginias and the Virginia
Reserves. an amateur club OF the city.
The game was called at 4:45. the Nlrginias
at the bat. Doyle and Morgan formed the
Virginas' battery, while Walton and Pey-
ton filled similar positions on the Reserves.
In the first inning the Nirglnias batted
Walton all over the field and scored eight
runs. In the second inning Walton
changed and pitched an out-curye
instead OF the in-curye. on which
the Virgnias did not "catch" so well,
they being blanked in that inning. In the
third, however, they made six runs, after
which *. Burr pitched. The Nirglnias
did not knock him quite so badly, as will
be seen from the score. The Reserves did
not succeed in knocking Doyle at all; they
were unable to get a base-hit on him, eX-
cept one, made by Edmonds in the last
inning. The brilliant play OF the evening
was a home-run made by Powell.
Below is attached the detailed score in

Second Attempt 10 Burn Down the
Cathedral Building.

Three weeks ago some boys discovered
flames coming ont OF one OF the yentila-
tors at Cathedral building, corner Ninth
and Marshall. The fire was quickly put
out, and upon close examination the venti-
lator was found full Of paper. Yesterday
at hali-past II O'Clock, during the recess
hour, some boys, the number in the build
ing being at that time over two hundred,
saw smoke pouring out OF one OF the
windows i'm the hall, where there is stage
fitted up for school entertainments. Bro
Tiers Michael and Raymond rushed up
stairs and found the door unlocked. En-
tering the hall, they discovered the middle
scenery on file. With great presence Of
mind they rolled the fire on one side
and succeeded in putting it out. In
the mean time some one rushed to give
the alarm at the Broad-Street engine
house. The men OH duty responded
promptly, but their services were not
needed. Upon close examination it was
found that the whole scenery was satura-
ted with Kerosene oil, aud newly-lighted
match was found among the ashes. No
doubt il was the work Of an incendiary.

Interesting to Melon Men.

We learn from Mr.. o. B. Stew
ems, Of this city, that he contem-
plates trying the melon business
again this season. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Stevens went
on to St Louis, last summer, at
the instjgation Of some Of the mel
on growers in this section for the
purpose of handling melons as a
commission man. Considering
the over-stocked and crowded con-
dition Of the western markets last
season, Mr.. Stevens acquitted HIM
self with credit, and was fortunate
not to have lost money. His
sagacity and strict integrity as a
business man is recognized by all
who know him, and should he 90
on again this season will be in a
much better condition to handle
this business than ever. Mr.. Ste
vens made a thorough study of
the melon business and markets
last season and he feels confident,
with his increased facilities and
knowledge Of the business, that he
will be able to dispose of ship
ments to the perfect satisfaction Of
all who may consign their melons
to his care. Mr.. Stevens regards
st. Louis, as q good market, but
thinks, perhaps, Louisville, as a
distlibutive point, is the very best
market in the West. Should be
decide to locate in Louisville, he
will still have the advantage Of
controlling the trade which he
worked up at ST. Louis and be-
yond last summer. The success
OF Mr.. Stevens, as a commission
merchant, and bis unexceptional
fair dealing at home, entitle him
to the confidence OF the moion
growers throughout the state, and
we doubt not that he will be able
to control his full share of the
shipments.
