slsSveS were fashionable in all parts OF the
stand: Everybody imbibed soft drinks In an
sxtravaeeut ,nnaAner, and tried to look cool
and comfortable. which effort was lnmenta-
bic failure. Several ladies were compelled to
leave tho grounds owing to the oppressive
heat but tue tdyed -in~the- wool cranks stood
at their posts till tho smoke Of ba1te died
away. aud then going homo had their clothes
run through the wrineer.
Despite tho torrid heatA the summer and
winter enthusiasts managed to occasionally

was not up to the standard. This was the case
whom O'Rourke made his grand catch OF
Coonoy's fv in the fourth and drhen with the
aid Of Richardson and Connor doubled IN
Anaon and Wilmot thus making one of tho
best triple plays cver seen.
Tho effect OF tlle heat on the players was dis
astrous. Honap. the Chicago catcher had not
been feeling wsll previous to tho game. and at

house. where he received medical attention.
Arson 40 went behind the bat and Iuby to, first.
