The Brooklyn Base Ball Club opened the

Ten times did the Brooklyn bats meet the

hits. and nine Bridegrooms reached the
scoring altar in the first two innings.
After that Gilroy entered the game and
pitched in a satisfactory manner.
The new man, De Montreville. made his
first appearance on Schmelz's team, playing
short. He "took' with the bleachers at

THE DEATH RATE.
1t Takes an Upward Turn During the
Past Week.

The death rate took an upward turn dur
ing the past week. From 90 deaths re-
ported to the health department in the
week previous the number went up to I'D.
The annual death rate followed in the same
ratio from 1873 to 23.02, which is the nor
NAL figure. The increase in mortality may
be attributed to no particular cause, but
seems to be all along the line. Dangerous
contagious diseases still maintain a mini
mum degree and do not attract the atten-
ton of the medical faculty. there having
been reported but one death from diph-
liberia. The increase in the number Of
deaths from typhoid fever has determined
the health department to institute prompt
and scientific inspection as to the cause,
with a view of removing II IL possible.
In other respects the health of the city IL
at the normal both as to mortality among
children under five years Of age and those

LONDON, September 1S.-The Pail Mall

the Americas cup races. says that it desires

the opportunity to pay tribute to the
sportsmanlike behavior of Mr.. Iselin. 1t is
a pity, the article says, that Mr.. Iselins
handsome offer to Lord Dunraven could not
have met with action. The American
