Mt. McGREGoR. N. Y, July 26.-'I recall
an instance of General Grants readiness in
an emergency" said General Porter, in con-
ond day of the Wilderness fight, when Sedg-
WICK corps had been broken and Shailer
ana seymour captured, General Grant sat
IN ms headquarters and listened to the fast
coming reports of perplexity and trouble,
OF MS orders with as much precision and
ludgment as though he had been studying
thaC unexpected situation for two months,
ana ana all who saw him watched and listened
was called upon to give a hearing unexpect-

rences play two games, on Monday and Tuesday,

PoRTLANDs z, STARS 1.
Two hundred people saw the Portlands defeat
the Stars of Andover Saturday. The intense heat
made the players lot hard one during the after
noon. The visitors are an amateur team com
posed of fine looking young men, all Of them per-
feet gentlemen and fair ball players, and did well
in holding our boys down as well as they did. The
pitcher of the Stars is only eighteen years old but
he is good worker in the box and pitches an ef
fective ball. 1t is possible that the Portlands
were affected by the heat and did not work with
that alaerity that they otherwise would Thayer
of this city caught his first game with the home
team, and he played fine game Mahoney's
work both at the bat and in the field was good.

LAST RESTING PLACE
OF the Nations Savior Should be at

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The National
Republican tomorrow will say editorially:
If it could be assumed that protest against the
interment of the remains of General Grant in
Central Park. New York, could be of any avail lit
will be duty as well as source of satisfaction
to give utterance to such protest. Outside of New
York the feeling is almost universal that General
Grant should not be buried in that city If buried
there the least appropriate of all snpposable 10
calities is the pleasure ground that has been des-
ignated as his sepulchre, and even in New York
city there is feeling that has risen above local

portion OF the press and people that the nations
saviour and idol ought to be buried in the ma
