Is The Way The Boston Blues DoXned The
Augustus.
One of the Most Exciting and Finely
Played Games OF the Season.

In spite Of the stormy weather q good
sized crowd assembled at Capitol Park yes-
terday afternoon, to witness the game between
the home team and the Boston Blues, and
were repaid by Witnessing one of the finest
perhaps the finest game of ball played on the
grounds this season. The loss of the game
resulted from the inability of the Augustus
to bat Daley. 1t is worth going great dis
tance to see the battery work of Daley and
Murray. 1t is certainly great and is a puz-
Iler to the best bstters. Rogers caught fne-
ly and Ferdy pitched a game, which if ii had
been backed up by little stick work. would
certainly have won the day for the Augustus.
Wilson's magnificent one hand stop of hot
grounder close to the third bag was one of
the finest plays seen on the grounds this seas
on. Patterson did some fine batting and
Burleigh took four chances in centre field
without an error
The last inning was an exciting one. The
Augustus got on batting streak and pound
ed the leather in great shape, nearly winning
the game.
Below is the tabulated score:

The General Order

Which announced to the army the death of
General Sheridan, was issued at the war de-
partment this afternoon. After referring at
length to the deceased soldiers gallantry
military skill and courage, and reciting his
many brilliant victories, the order concludes :;
These achievements have placed him in the
front rank of the great and successful sol
diers Of his time, and are recognized and ac-
knowledged at home and abroad. To the
army his loss is personal and irreparable,
but the work ne did and the associations that
cluster about mis- name, will be grateful
memory to its older, and an inspiration to its
younger officers" After quoting the Presi-
dents message to both houses of Congress
yesterday, officially announcing General
Sheridan's death, the order closes as follows
The flag will be placed at half mast at all
the military posts and stations, and seventeen
minute guns will be fred on the day after
the receipt of this order and the usual badges
of mourning be worn thirty days" By or

Notes.
The Augustus have released Webster.
The directors are determined that no mem.
ber of the home team shall be of such a
character as to require watching off the ball
field.
There are two college captains on the Au-
gusta ball team; Captain Freeman of the
Bowdoins and Captain Keay of the Dart
mouths. There is only one Captain of the
Augusta team, however.
Keay has shown himself a good ball player
and gentleman and is winning many friends
in this city.
Captain Freeman has yet to be caught run
ming bases. He is terror to catchers.
Well boys you will have to wipe out the
Bostons Thursday. just do your batting a
little earlier in the game and they are yours.
Ladies will find it much better to select
one of the lower seats in the grand stand
during the ball games. They are much safer
than the top seat and the games can be seen
from them just as well.
Doc Richards of Richmond umpired
yesterdays game in fine shape. He under
stands the game thoroughly and can't be bull
dozed.
