ing Notes.
There was a very pretty game OF base ball
yesterday afternoon at Doyle's park. Thun-
derbolt.
The game was witnessed by about ], 500
people. The crowd was very orderly and
no disturbance Of any kind occurred upon
the grounds.
Savannah won By score Of 10 to Z.
Notwithstanding the size Of the score the
game was a good one, the runs being made
errors on the part of the batteries.
The score by innings WAS as follows:
| Augusta ........I 0 o 0 -
| Savannah ......3 3 0 0 2 90
Crandall and Fisher composed the battery
for the Augustus. and Butler and Reddy
for Savannah. Gross umpired the game
| aud gave satisfaction to both sides. Harri-
gan attempted TO catch Butler at the be-
ginning OF the game, but was not heavy
balls in the third inning. Augusta made Ave
runs in this inning, which was partly owing
| 30 Harrigan's inability to take Buffers de-
livery. He was then put down on first,
| where he did splendid work, aud Reddy was
put behind the bat As a ca cher Rsddy
was a daisy, and Augusta made only ono
run after the third inning.
FEATURES OF THE GAME.
Augustus battery did fair work, but
Crandal seemed to have knack of riking
the batters in the head with the ball. The
fielding of the Augusta team was good as
also its batting.
The Savannah boys did some good batting
and there we're several two-baggers made
A good part of their runs was made, how
ever, on passed balls.
The condition Of the ground was not of
the best and accounted, in part, for the high
scores.
There was a good delegation OF the Au-
gustans The visitors were taken care of
during their stay by the Catholic Library
Association.
The interest in base ball in Savannah has
been greatly revived by the efforts of few
devo.e es Of the sport, and there is pros
pect Of a number Of good games yet this
season. It is proposed TO put the grounds at
Doyle's park in flrst-class condition for ball
playing hereafter.
The Kieffers have reorganised and will
play the Augustus In Augusta Thursday.
Butler and Schreck will be the battery and
and they will have q strong support, The
Augusta team will be about the same as
played yesterday, being composed largely
of members of the Irish Volunteers club.

Robert Bonner says he will bring Sunol
out in the fall to try against the record with
pneumatic tired sulky and under the sans
conditions as Nancy hanks trotted at
Chicago.
The number of spectators on the fiat al
! horse races in Melbourne averages from
5000 60 $4,000. The course could accom-
modats 100000 without feeling the strain
and every one can see the race from start
to finish.
Doble, Goers and other good drivers are
OF the opinion that the pneumatic tire add
from one to two seconds to the speed of D
horse. Ii this is corr oct the 2:071 of Nancy
Hanks at Chicago is not as gooa as Maud
SIS 2;0oA.
Zimmerman, the record-breaking cyclist
Is hard at work in Canada racing agains
time, with the most satisfactory results. A
Sarnia, Ont, on Wednesday, he smashed M
less than three Canadian records before
1900 persons.
At a race in Cincinnati last week tn,
judges ruled out the pneumatic tire. Thu
was an assumption of power. Every well
regulated stable carries a pneumatic. The
best drivers are of the opinion that it re
duces friction and contributes to the speed
of the horse.

records at Monmouth Fork. QueenIe Trow-
bridge lowered the straight three-quarter-
mile time to 1:1115 and kildeer reduced the
mile-record in a raoe) to 1:S74. The for
mer, however, is not the best made, but
only the test record for the track, Fide'I
1:1OA at Morris PARK still holding good.
The latest OF the great trotters to join che
ranks OF the PAGERS, is the little black geld
ing Jay Eye See, VINO in 1854 trotted TO a
mark Of 2:l0 a record which remains the
fastest for a trotting gelding. Owing to an
injury TO one of his legs, Jay Eye,See had
to be retired, but it was thought the injured
member might stand the less laborious gail
of pacing, and he was accordingly put &c
pacing last winter.
