THE COMING SENSATION.
The Spalding Australian Baseball
Combination.


Combination.
1t is safe to say that no venture OF
such magnitude as the Australian tour
OF Mr.. Spalding's has ever before been
undertaken in connection with the ma
tional game. The only other instance
upon record in which an attempt was
made to introduce baseball into for
eign country was that of 1S47. when the
Boston and Philadelphia teams went to
England. At that time, however, the
present national game of the Americans
was not very far out of it's swaddling
clothes, and had but 1.-THE of the fame.
widespread popularity and Importance
as an Institution that it now possesses.
The trip to England, however, was
! made with comparatively little prepar-
| alton and under conditions that seem
crude, indeed when compared with the
elaborate preparations that have been
| made by Mr.. Spaulding for this trip.
Nothing seems to have been left I'M
| done. The methods of advertising; the
fact that two teems-the pick of the ball
playing talent of the United 5tates-in-
stead of one are coming; the style in
which the party is travelling; ard the
connection with the project of such
ball players as Arson, Ward, Hanlon,
Kelly, Williamson, Pfefer, Burns. and
others of equally wide reputation, at
taches to the enterprise degree of i'm
portance and public interest that at
once makes it one of national concern.
They will play in this city on the 3lst
and LIST.
The trip will occupy period OF five
months. and during that time lovers of
baseball in America will not want for
advices as to the doings of the party
upon the other side of the globe.

America is represented by capable cor
respondents who will keep them in
formed upon every incident of the
journey, both BY mail and cable.
