BASE BALL BY ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Chattanooga and Little Rock Play a
CIOWnfsh Game.

Chattanooga, Tenn, July @.-The eve of
the anniversary of great nations natal
day was celebrated tonight in a quaint
and very novel way. Chattanooga base ball
park was planted all round the diamond
with cedar poles and from each swung two
big arc lights, twenty in all. Under the
glare and in the shadows of these lights
the Little Rock and Chattanooga league
teams gave an exhibition that wrung the
heart of the professional crank to behold,
but furnished rare fun to the large crowd
of society people, who witnessed 1t.
The game closed 10 to in favor of Chat
tanooga, but as it was in reality but a
clownish exhibition the locals might be
fairly adjudged the biggest clowns. Ger
tain it is that Capt. Whistler did not know
where his base was.
