LECTURE BY MAJ. JED. II TcHKsss.

On last Saturday night, Maj. Jed. Hotchkiss
delivered in the Hall of the Y. NJ. G. l.. in
teresting lecture for the benefit OF that Associa-
ton. The audience was not as large SIS the
merits ofthe lecture, and the object in behalf OF
which it was given, deserved. He introduced
his lecture by referring to the material and the
mode of manufacture and the style OF dress Of
our forefathers. and gave the origin of the cot
ton trade of this country, showing from what a
little beginning 1t had grown into such marvel
lous proportions. He then gave the location
and dimensions OF the vast buildings construct
ed in the park at New Orleans for the Worlds
Exposition. and the character of the countless
thousands of articles that would be on exhibi-
ton in them. He gave the character and an
approximate estimate OF the articles that would
be on exhibition from this state. lie show cd
by reference to large maps OF his construction,
that vould be at the Exposition, the geography
it is that Virginia is favored above all other
States by its variety Of minerals AID produc-
lions. 1t contains almost every valuable min
era, and can produce In its soil almost every
necessary production. he also shovel how
ths vast territory lying between the Blue Ridge
and the Rocky Mountains was forme1 begin
ming in the early geoIoglc ages when the Pots
dam Sandstone was formed in the bottom of
the vast ocean that then covered that portion
ofthis continent, and then a layer of iron
spread over 1t, in the outcropping Of which are
found all the iron mires of this StaLe and then
layer upon layer str ,tum upon stratum, OF diff
ferent rocks and mineruls were formed until
that vast basis was filled, when the bottom
dropped out and the sides fell in. causing the
displacements and uptnrning of the strata as
now found The Blue Ridge was the eastern
shore of this ocean, as is shown by the holes in
the Potsdsm sandstone there found and other
evidences.
We do not propose to report this lecture, but
only to give some iGea OF It's general scope, and
to say that it was, to US at least, and we sup.
pose to all who heard 1t, quite entertaining and
instructive.

SPORTING.
Base Ball-T he Dirigos of Portland Dc
feat the College B oys.
TSppcioI IN tho proaa


BRUNSWICK, May 14.-The game OF base ball
played here today between the Dirigos OF Fort.
land and the Bowdoins of Bowdoin College,
was won by the former by score OF to 7.
The game was called at 3 o'clock, with the
Bowdoins at the bat, who retired without
scoring. The Dirigos in their first also got
blanked. The second inning for the Bowdoins
was repetition of the first. The Dlrigos in
their second went In with a will, and seemed
to bat the ball Just where they wanted to, ~
curing eight runs before they retired Dy ths
Bowdoins substituting Cook for Wight in the
pitchers position. The Bowdoins, in their
third inning succeeded in filing the bases
through errors, when high fly ball was hit to
the left field of the Dirigos, but owing to the
sun dazzling him, he was unable to held 1t,
it going over his head, and the home nine
succeeded in scoring three runs. Other errors
allowed two more men to score, before the
inning was closed. The Dirigos were banked
in their third and the game at the end OF this
inning stood to 5, in favor OF the Dirigos.
After this 1t was hard for either club TO score,
and both clubs were playing good game. In
the fifth after the BowdoiDs had placed two
men on bases, Cook stepped to the bat and
after hitting long foul to left field,
hit a liner to center field driving two men in,
bat got put out trying to reach second. This
ended the run getting for the Bowdoins. The
Dirigos in their eight scored one run. In this
inning Riley made fine steal to second base
while the oall was in the pitchers hand,
which seemed to bc'enjoyed by the largecrowe
present The Bowdeins in their ninth were
retired In cue. two, three order, and thus the
game was won by the Dirigos who left the
field without playing their ninth inning.
The features of the game for the visitors
was the fine pitching and catching of Donovan
and Riley, Donovan catching without an
error; the double play by Bradley who caught
fly and run down and put man out at
second base. Barnes fly catch at third in the
last inning was also good one
For the Bowdoins, the playing of Cooke
was very noticeable; also of Barton, who made
fine running catch in left field. Below We
give tho score.
