4 DRAWN GAME.
A Contest Between the vtrSinias and Tren-
tons that was Worth Witnessing.


The first game OF baseball between the
Trentons and Virginias was played yester.
day afternoon at Virginia Park, and the
spectators, Of whom there were between
three and four hundred. were amply repaid
for having braved the very Indictment
weather by witnessing an exceedingly well.
contested game. A high easterly wind and
misty rain prevailed throughout nearly the
entire game, but considering these unia-
sorable circumstances, together with the
bad condition Of the ground. the playing
Of both clubs gave general satisfaction.
The bad luck attending the recent tour OF
the virginias bad led many OF those pres
ent TO expect nothing but another defeat
for them aud when, In the first inniug,
with the Trentons first al the bat, the latter,
through heavy batting and several er-
rors on the part Of the home team,
scored five runs two OF them earned), those
expectations seemed about to be realized.
Not so, however; for the Virgiuias, despite
this discouraging outlook, held out man.
fully and worked with will. But 1t was
not until the fourth inning that they sue
cceded In scoring a tally. Then 1t was tat
the home boys went to the bat with specs
on, found Murphy, and In the fifth and
sixth innings ratified him savagely and had
his fielders busy hunting the sphere In all
directions. These two innings yielded
them eight runs and tied the game, the
Trentons having in the mean time scored
four more runs. The splendid batting OF
the home team warmed up the shivering
spectators, and the excitement was intense
at the turn the game had taken. Both
clubs scored run each in the next two
innings, when mt the close OF the eighth
the rain had increased so that the umpire
called the game with the score tied at 10 to
10. Shay, the Virginias' new catcher,
did good work behind the bat. In
the first part OF the game he
had two passed balls, seemingly from
over-anxiety to do well, but after that he
played faultlessly. There is no doubt but
that he will make good record during the
remainder OF the season. Doyle surprised
all by the Improvement in his pitching, the
feature OF which was his striking out play
ers at critical moments. Other features OF
the game were JohLs.on's fine base-run-
ming and Nash's great hit to left, the ball
going to the lower fence before touching
the ground. This IN measure redeemed
his two ugly errors in throwing to first,
and thereby giving the visitors two runs
in the first part of the game. The heavi-
ness OF the ground alone prevented him
from making home run. The fine field
ing and batting Of the TrentOrs were fire.
quently applauded. In fact the game yes
terday satisfied all that the Virginias will
have their hands full in getting the best OF
them. The following is the score in de-
tail:

EXTRA SESSI0 N.
Possibility OF the General Assembly Meeting
in Extra session september ID.


Members Of the General Assembly here
arc OF opinion from information received
that A sufficient number OF their fellows
have already signed, or will probably soon
sign, the call for an extra session for Sep
TENDER Sd.
The Republicans contend that notwitl-
standing two thirds OF each house may
sign this demand the Governor has the
right TO fix the day when he will call the
Legislature together.
II is, however, believed that they do not
speak for him.
They only express their own hopes.
Many Democrats are fearful that the date
agreed upon will be too late II any legislation
objected to by the Republicans is proposed
TO be enacted, for IL will take week to pass
any bill which is worth considering; then
the Governor has, practically, week to
examine II, and beforeit could be returned
and passed over his veto another week,
very likely, would pass. Add to these
three weeks four weeks time-which Is
about the quickest that privileged case
ever can be matured and heard In the SUI
preme Court, and the month OF october
will be far gone, and the canvass mucl In
ferfered with. before il Is known whether
the law or laws passed will stand or not.
The Sd OF September was agreed upon
by bare majority Of members In the con-
ference held here during the State Conyen-
ton. An early day in July was favored by
many members then present for the rea-
sons stated. they well knowing that any
measure looked upon as party legislation
would he resisted by the Republicans by all
the methods known TO them.
II there is any failure to get the two
thirds signatures necessary IL will be be-
cause OF the apprehension that to hold a
session late as September 30 Will be TO
trammel the canvass in the month just be-
fore election.
The two things that would probably be
most prominent at an extra session would
be the bill lately declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court because OF the word
"freeholders appearing in II, and bill
to redstrict the state for presidential elect
ors to conform TO the redistricting OF the
State for members OF Congress.
