 From the Democrat of the l7th we get the following concerning Prescott's team:
 The hose race called everybody from the grand stand to the track, and it was as wild a crowd of enthu- siasts as is often seen that watched the Never Sweats come down the course. They were barred from the race for pulling hose too soon and l and failing to go to the plug, but | they made pretty run in about | 3ls, though no official time was given.
 Fl Paso ran about 6 o'clock, tho excited crowd still lining the track They made very pretty run, miss ing coupling, however, which lost them some of the splendid time they had made sprinting. They made the race in 32a.
 Albuquerque now got in position, but the coupling they used was ob- jected to and the judges sustained the objection. After hearing the judges verdict the Albuquerque team appealed from the decision. They then made pretty practice run down the track just at dusk. Money was bet even that the time of Fl Paso would be beaten by fl sec onds, but later on odds were offered that way without takers.
 A disappointment was experienced by lovers of the national game by the action of Prescott declining to play yesterday. The reason was that some of their ball players were also in the hose team, and as they were scheduled fourth in the hose race they could not play ball and run too.
