mond Left Badly In the Tureen.

Nearly three hundred persons, both ladies
and gentlemen. witnessed the football
match game at Boschen's park yesterday
afternoon between the University School
team, Of Petersburg, and the Richmond
College team.
Quite numbered people frcm Petersburg
were present. among them several ladies.
The visitors were in fine spirits, and made
a good showing ne they "shied their cas-
tiers" on the field.
The home bows were not so cheerful. They
were aware Of the fact that the Petersburg
bows had considerable advantage over them,
because Of their having had more time 10
practice.
Mr.. Briona Blair, Of this city, acted az
umpire Of the game. and MIR. Joseph +.
Taylor, of Richmond College, was referee.
THE GAME CALLED.
At 2:35 O'Clock the game was called. The
College boys held the first "buck off," They
kicked the ball slightly. picked it up and
ran OFF with it, gaining considerable ground,
and keeping the ball. Several clowns"
followed, during which time the visitors
gradually gained. Mr.. A. ;. Potts,
captain of the Uniyery team, made the first
run, and was downed by Mr.. II. L. Jones,
captain of the College team. The College
boss then gained possession Of the ball, but
the University School boys gradually re-
covered themselves, until they came with
in few yards Of the homes 20.
The time for the first half being almost up
the visitors worked manfully to carry il in
their "go," but the home boys worked well,
and even carrying it back when the umpire
announced that the time for the first half
was up.
In the second half the visitors had the
'buck off," They then formed wedge
which was successfully broken by the
home team. The play that followed was
THE FEATURE or THE GAME,
and the one by which the visitors won. BY
good playing on the part Of the visitors
they carried the ball near the opponents
side and Potts succeeded in making a
'touch down. behind the 20, which was fol-
lowed by goal kick by Storey, making six
points for the visitors, which were the only
points made during the game.
The home team had the "buck of" in the
next play. They formed the wedge and
downed the ball; after which the home
team tried their speed and made two runs
one by c. W. Jones and another by ii. L.
Jones.
The latter would have made touch down
had he not been prevented by the crowd gath
ering around and pressing too close upon
him. kucker Of the home team then gained
the ball with clear field, but was out run
by Potts and caught within few yards of
the goal.
