The third and last game of ball be-
tween the Stratfords of N. Stratford,
and the Eurekas of this place, played
at N. Stratford last Friday, was won
by the Stratfords by the decisive score
of 25 to 6 in six innings. The onesid-
edness of the game as well as the in
clemency of the weather rendered it
less interesting and exciting than
usual, the latter reason necessitating
the calling of the game in the sixth in
ming. The contest was characterized
throughout by that spirit OF friendli-
ness and goodnatured rivalry which
has been a leading feature of the two
previous games. The following is the
score by innings:
