BASE BALL, Bernice VS.. EaglesMere.

The Bernice base ball club visited
Eagles Mere and played the home
team friendly game Of ball on Sat
urday last. The game from the
start was very entertaining and much
enthusiasm was shown by the by
ISLANDERS for the success of both
clubs. The guests of the Mere were,
as in the past, very anxious for their
boys to win and expressed their ap-
probation of good play by one of
the Mere boys. in q chorus that
would drownd the thunGers of heav-
en-. We can perceive no weakness of
lungs in that neighborhood; invalids
there we imagine are ailing about
their heads, and the chances are they
never VIII recover from the attack,
the bceezes of the Mere. never can
restore chat difficulty. We noticed
several 50 called invaiids on the ball
ground who have been constant com
ers to the Lake for the past years
and no change can be noticed in
their manners, thus proving that
they are beyond relief.
The game was played between the
hours of 4 and 6 O'Clock and was n
continual wrapgle from The COM
mencenent to the end. The 3ernice
boys too. the Iced from the first and
continued so until the seventh inning
when the Mere boys scored seven
runs, three of which were scored on
a long hit by Robert Mccormick,
captain of the Mere team and a gem
tleman in every respect. The result
of this inning put the Mere boys one
score in the lead, IA to 13. The
Berlice boys on the eighth inning
made ore score which made tie but
owing TO dissagreements between the
clubs refused to play out the game
which was as result decided 9,to 0
by the Umpire in favor of tie Mere
John Embeck, Esq, of William
sport was selected as Umpire and
ie entitled to much praise for the
honorable position he took, in the
game. He. may have made few
errors but as whole he was exceed
ingly fair.

Governor Fitz Hugh Lee, Of Vir-
ginia, expresses great confidence in
the ability of the Democrats to carry
the State in November, notwith-
standing the signing of the treaty OF
peace in the Republican party. But
as the Democrats could only carry
it by 500 majority last year, at a
time when they were well organized,
and when the Republicans were car
ryiug on family quarrel, it is not
easy to see the grounds ON which
Governor Lee bases his confidence.
The truth is that he and the other
Democratic leaders have been disap-
pointed and alarmed by the DISPOSE
tion of the Republican leaders to
come together. and they know that
if they are Obliged to confront a
united Republican party this year
the chances will be against them.
At least this is the logic of the pres
ent situation when viewed in con-
necton with the figures of the e,ec-
tion OF 1888, end Governor Lee
probably understands it as we'll as
anybody.
