G. AND o. CANAL REPAIRs.-Col Baugh-
man. president oil the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal. WAS in Washington yesterday to see
members OF the House committee on appro-
priations on the subject of the damage doEe
the canal at Great Falls and other points.
The tremendous rains and freshets Of this
spring have cause the canal to overflow at
various points into the river, causing all its
impurities, and as a Consequence the water
supply of Washington and Georgetown has
been very seriously affected. The canal
authorities are making all possible effort to
repair damages, but where so much is at
stake it is most naturally thought that the
government, with a due regard for the
health of the several hundred thousand
people for which it is responsible, should
lend assistance. Mr.. McComas, with whom
Col. Baughman bad long interview, fully
appreciated the situation and said he would
bring the subject to the attention of the
committee on appropriations at its next
meeting. 1t is desirable that provision be
inserted in the sundry civil appropriation
bill for an expenditure by the government
1T the opening of the aqueduct at the Great
Falls to secure pure flow of water. Col.
Baughman left in the afternoon for tour
of inspection of the canal, with view to
ascertain what repairs arc necessary. and
was also provided with funds to pay oil GER
tain of the employees.

BASE BALL.-The Lynchburg NGwS OF to-
day says:
Another large crowd was attracted to Hill CITY
Park Yesterday afternoon to witness the second
game of ball between the Lynchburgs and the AL
cxandras Tho latter had played so well the
day before that many were led to believe that they
would either win yesterday or come mighty near
it. The faith of these persons WAS not misplaced.
With tho same battery, the AloXandrias played
first rate gsmc, winning by score OF Ii to 8.
The visitors fairly hammered O'Donncll, getting
eighteen hits oil him, Beach making two dagger
and homo run and Hays making two haggcr
Cox Of tho Alexandrias, was at the bat SIX times
and made six clean base hits Winkeiman struck
ont eight mon and O'Donnel returned the com
pliment for the homo team Cox is the safest
hitter OH tho Alexandrias and Beach the hardest
kicker Because of two decisions clearly contrary
to the league rulos some kicking was done by tho
homo club in tho second inning, which resulted
in the umpire Mr.. Ernest Alhro, withdrawing.
Mr.. Clayton was substituted and umpred fair
game TO the end"
The Iirginian says:
Beach for the visitors made clean home run
in tho seventh inning by planting tho ball down
To the ccntre field fence, and little Coxs centre
field play was ono of the features of the ganle
As each club has now won game, to days con-
tt-t will decide who will hold tho championship
If Hirginis, Alexandria or Lynchburg.
