BASE BALL.
Opening of the New Grounds i'm Deering-
The Portlands Defeat the ROxburys.

The public opening of Manager W. W.
Burnham's new base ball grounds in Dsering
took place Saturday afternoon. The field is
only short ride by the horse cars and just a
few minutes walk from the foot of Green
street. There is always refreshing breeze
blowing through the gigantic oaks which
border the large enclosure and within are two
commodious grand stands supplies with COM
Portable seats from which the whole diamond
may he easily seen. 1t is the prevailing
opinion that it is one of the best appointed
fields in the country. Between five and six
hundred ladies and gentlemen witnessed the
opening game Saturday afternoon between
the Roxburys of Boston and the Portlands.
Tho home club appeared in their new uniforms
and the nine on the whole did some good work.
The Roxburys although a fine looking set of
men, were hardly strong enough to co npete with
our boys. The visitors played seven innings
and their half of the eighth, and had to lie ave
the field to take the steamer for Boston, and
the Portlands had played only seven innings.

BOSTON. June 29.-Subscriptions to the new
issue OF preferred treasury stock of the American
Electric and Illuminating Company of this city is
considering the stringency of the money market,
almost unprecedented and shows the great conf

offered on the fifteenth inst, and to date over
seventy thousand has been taken and the balance
will doubtless be absorbed prior to July tenth the
date fixed by the executive committee to close sub

question of time when the American Company will
practically control the entire field of electric light

sANFoRDs 26-PoRrLAND REDS 5,

The Portland Reds visited Springvale Satur-
day and the Sanbords beat them by score of
26 to 5. The large score of the home club
was due to the errors of the visitors who made
no less than thirty, but they took their defeat
in good spirits and went home cheering for
the Sanfords. Riley pitched a tair game and
had Small received ordinary support only. the
score would have been much less. The field
ing of the Reds was execrable and when they
started to make errors they made business
of it. Neither pitcher exerted himself after
the first half of the game and the Sanfords
won as they pleased. The Reds hit quite
freely but were unfortunate in placing their
hits while the Ssnfords were exceedingly
lucky in this respect. After playing such
games as they have at Biddsford it is believed
that the Reds can make better showing next
time. Many we're not satisfied with the UNI
pire. The following is the score:
