 The inning was marred by few mis- haps to dresses, whereat the field desist- ed from regular labor and loaned pins.
 The sophs battery, Misses Crehore and Stottart, did not indulge in masks or gloves. and although Miss Crehore's delivery is amazingly swift it was not difficult for the freshman to find the ball for twenty runs. During the third the Misses Long and Woodbury changed places, aud Miss Long gave an exhihl- ton of her style of pitching, which, while not so scientific as Miss Wood bury's, was equally as effective in keep ing her opponents down to three runs. Then the sun being in the umpire's eyes and dinner hour drawing near, the game adjourned. Score, 20 to Q, in ia. vor of the class whose color is green snd whose yell is stil "Rahl Rahl Rsh 1!

Opera Box Women.

The whole horseshoe of boxes-two tiers high-was filled with the flower of New York swelldom. The young women were one and all frail and fine, having that delicate slenderness so far removed from thinness that is an eastern Ameri- can womans greatest beauty. Blonds were in the majority-graceful, fragile, exquisite creatures, gleaming with dia- monds and ethereal as spirits of the moonlight, in pale tinted, heecy dresses, They were all decollete-thin or fat but not one was scraggy. Almost all wore their hair high and bound around in the style of the First Empire with a band of ribbon or of gold, while on their fOreheads and sometimes over their ears lay little ruffied, careless curls like 8 baby's. The men were not so good look ing and were somewhat effaced by the show of feminine beauty. Almost all the younger ones were smooth faced and wore inordipately high collars. These young fellows arc very prominent in the gay circles of Gotham.
 The showing of jewels--every one be- ing bedizened for-the ball-was wonder ful. Mrs. Bradley Martin was covered with diamonds. She is not pretty or young woman, in fact is horid and com mon in her style, and so did not set off her gems to advantage. On her head she wore adiamond crown as biz around as tea

Mrs. Charles II. Sturgeon.

MT. Sturgeon was but twenty-two when he made choice of wife in Su- sanna, the daughter of Mir. Robert Thompson, a merchant of Falcon square, in the city of London But if young in years, the preacher was of course even then old in wisdom, and the excellence of his judgment fully atoned for the ear liness of his marriage. Mir. Sturgeon was then pastor of small chapel in South London, and resided in the pov- erty stricken neighborhood of the bor- ough. During the first fortnight of the year 1S56--the marriage took place on Jan. S-the young man was preaching in several of the provincial cities.
 Not long after marriage Mrs. Spur geon fell victim to disease from the effects of which she has never wholly been free. In 1868, in accordance with the wishes of the most eminent sur geons, she consented to painful opera ton. It was performed by Sir James Simpson, of Edinburgh, and eventually had the happy result of greatly mitigat- ing, though not entirely removing, her sufferings. Until that time illness had prevented her giving very much active help to her husbands work; probably she had been most helpful to him in the loving sympathy she gave while her hus- band was the target for so many at- tacks, from the churchmen on the one hand, from the Freethinkers on the other. attacks which had become more frequent with his appointment to the position of pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle Letter.

KEEP TIE CITY CLEAN.

The failure of the notOriously unpro- gressive and moss-back city adminis- tration to clean the alleged sidewalks and what purports to he gutters and to keep the streets well sprinklod, has for long time compelled the ladies to become industrious sweepeTs yoi side walks and crossings, the implemen mt used b ing the street dress. This use ful garment serves not only to remove the dust from our crowded sidewalks and crossings but it will pick up large amount of mud and garbage in the course of an hour. It is estimated that the 5000 women of Phoenix take up and carry home in their clothing not less than 70, 900 pounds oi dirt and dust in the course of week. This Is low estimate, for it allows only 10 pounds per lady per week, or 3-7 pounds per day, Sundays included. Fifty thous- and pounds of dust would render 5O,- 900 square yards of pavement reason ably dirty, and 50,00O square yards of pavement would be equivalent to a continuous strip of sidewalk 10 feet wide and 45,OO0 feet long. It follows, then, that SIs miles of Phoenix sidewalk would be just 50,OOO pounds dirtier than it now is if the ladies did not kindly assume responsibility that be- longs to the city government.
 Not content with the good work they have already done, however, the ladies of Phoenix should organize for further achievements in municipal sanitation. A meeting should be called for the pur- pose of forming "Housekeepers's Club" modelled after the Street Cleaning Aid society of New York. Members will be pledged to do all they can to keep all their own premises and the streets and alleys adjacent free from dirt and to aid the sanitary authorities of the city in their work. The league should have membership of two-thirds of the adult feminine population at the very outset. There should be at least one active member for every block of street frontage in the city, to the end that the defunct cat, the gaudy but not neat tomato can and the noisome potato peel shall disappear from every back yard and alley before the hot June sun sets the microbes in process of incuba' tion in the aforementioned features of back alley scenery in Phoenix.
 Much can be done If the ladies enter into the spirit of this plan with genuine vim and enthusiasm. The feminine nose is quick to detect evidences of inn proper fermentation and the feminine eye as quick to locate the source there of. If, perchance, one overlooks the open garbage barrel in her own yard, while making due and proper complaint of the ash heap in her neighbours, the latter will do her duty and the prem ises of both will be duly looked after.
 An average membership of three to every block will effect the sanitary re- generation of this city. TIE REPUBI- CAN hopes to report a tremendous mem- bership in such soclety. Few move ments have been set apart in this city of many enterprises that have promised greater gool to the greatest number than this proposed "Housekeeper's Club"
