A Noted Relic stolen.
Boston TI'anScrpt

A daring theft, involving serious archae-
illogical loss, is reported from Florence. For
the last four centuries most valuable
bishops cope has been preserved in the treas.
ury Of the cathedral church of Pienza, an old
Tuscan town, lying about thirty-three miles
southeast from Sienna, formerly of import
ance, but now much decayed. This copo
had been made for Pope Plus III, better known
as Eneas Sylvius Piccolomini, one of the most
distinguished Of the early humanists, and
native of Pienza. 1t was a masterpiece Of
italian embroidery and work in the early
renaissance. Tho material was gold brocade,
covered with wonderful designs carried out
In needlework, representing saints and angels,
trees and birds, and arabesques, exhibiting
the same style of composition which is TO be
found in miniatures and fine wood carvings
of tho fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The
whole was profusely adorned with pearls and
precious stones, tho value of which alone was
estimated at about 20O0,000f At his death
the pope bequeathed this precious vestment
to the cathedral of his native town. One night
last month the cope was stolen from the treas
ury of Penza, and a few days ago it was dis
covered in the shop of dealer in antiquities
in Florence, but completely stripped of its
pearls and precious stones and some of its moro
valuable embroidery. No clew has been OBJ
tanned to the perpetrators of this piece of
vandalism.

The gamo yesterday was eminently salts.
factory to tho spectators, for it was quickly
played. The fielding in tho main was first
class, the pitching good, and, better than all,
the home club won. The Mets. went to tho
bat and scored two unearnod runs in tho first
inning on two hits fast base runnings, and
errors. In tho fourth inning Troy scored an
earned run on singles by himself Kennedy,
and Nelson. For the homo club Kiley in the
first inning took first on called balls, and by
speedy running worked his way home
whilo the side was being put
out. In the second after Yewell had
struck out, and King had been put out on
first, Morgan hit fly out to Kennedy, which
that usually sure fielder dropped. Barr then
popped up little ay to Troy, which was also
mutfed. These two errors lost tho gamo to
the Metropolitans, for Fennelly then came TO
run to tho great delight of the audience.
From this on Lynch was on his mottle, and
nothing could be done with his pitching, but
the home boys were on their mettle also, and
folded in mastery fashion, holding their
opponents down TO three runs and winning
nicely. Barr pitched in great form, and was
nobly supported. Yewell, Kiley and Humphries
distinguished themselves by taking in mum.
