| was very evenly contested until near the close,
when the infantry pulled ahead rapidly. The
score was as follows: Infantry-Cash, 81; Beall,
%; Conrad, IS; Clarvoe. %; Hale, %; Pollard,

Ihls evening the Infantry will attend q recep-
tion at the new iron pier, which is one of the
most delightful places at the Cape. extending,
as it does. 1000 feet out in the ocean.
The mosquitoes are not at all troublesome
mere this summer, as there has been sea
breeze nearly all the time. Had we been
affected with a land breeze, it would have been
necessary TO call into requisitiOn mosquito nets,
ammonia, penny royal. etc.
Surgeon Leach is kept quite busy attending
to the lndi>posed of the camp, as the change OF
water is affecting the boys great deal.
Captain Ross, OF company d, is not expected
To arrive here until Thursday.
Captain Dingman will report on Friday.
The season having been SO successful here,
good many of the hotels are considering the
adyisability of keeping open until October 1,
but business will fall quite fiat, it is thought,
when the Infantry depart.

At a conference of members of the Saloon
Keepers Association yesterday afternoon, with
representatives of labor organizations the cable

Gambling at the Base Ball Grounds.
To the Editor of the EVENING STAR:
witnessed the game of base ball played yes
| terday by the National and Norfolk clubs /
sat at the right Of the umpire, beyond the grand
stand. There was considerable gambling done
there. No less than five young men, standing
on the seats, were calling out offers of five TO
three. "two to one" "one-fifty to one" &c. that
the respective mines would not score in given
inning. This was done boldly, in "a clear voice
that could be heard some distance, and was con-
tinued from the first to the last inning
am a lover OF the game, aud desire to witness
| those to be played this week-especially the
game to be played with the RichmOnds next
