The game Tuesday between the Cont.
nentais, of Stanton, and the Stonewalls
of Lexington, was by far the best game
witnessed here this season.
The home team led off with Fretwel at
the bat. John sustained his reputation as
hitter with long drive to centre field,
which was dropped by Darst, he stole sec
ond and scored on a wild throw by Bow
ing. bringing in the first run for our boys
The Lexingtons, by good battery work and
sharp fielding, were retired in one, two
three order.
In the second the StauntOns were BANKED.
Laird was given first on calls and with
hits by Bowling and Morrison succeeded
in crossing the plate. Thus tying the
score at this point.
In the third inning Stauntons again took
the lead, which they never lost. but prac-
tlcally won the game in the fifth, in which
they succeeded in scoring three runs after
TWO men were out. An earned run by

their score. The Lexingtops advancing
theirs by Que. In the ninth each club got
man across the plate; closing the game
with score nine to four in favor of the
Continentals. The interest in the game
never tagged from beginning to end while
there were no brilliant plays on either
side, the work of both was so steadily good
that the crowd had ample room for ap-
plause. Smith on first base was simply
immense; but for that matter, so was

figgat did some of the best base run

without hitting him.
The field work OF both sides vas so coed
that it would be unjust to mention one
without mentioning every play. Centre

points On the nines. Little Boiling proved
as much Of puzzle as our favorite, Doan,
not Il single hit being made off him up to
the fifth inning.
Had there been no other feature in the
game, the catching of Eldred and Free
land would have been worth the trip to
the Fair Grounds to see. The crowd was
the largest that has witnessed game here
since the Virginias played on that ground
and the number Of ladies present showed
that the good order insured by manager

TO the Editor of the Valley V5rginian
The transports of rage into which Dem
ocrat editors are thrown whenever a Re
publican charges them with being free
traders, is exceedingly diverting, but for a
perfectly unique ontbprSt, commend us to
the following from the Lynchburg Aduaace
of the 2lst inst:
"The charge of free-trade against the
Democratic party, is a falsehood of the
first auater, manufactured out of the avhoze
cloth.''
This is about on a par with the mixed
metaphors of the Irish member of the
House of Commons, who declared in the
course of a debate, that he "smelt a rat
that he saw him in the air, but that he
should nip him in the bud.''
