The ECLIPsE.-The most favorable condi-
tions prevailed on Tuesday night for observ-
ing the total eclipse Of the moon. Not a
cloud appeared and the atmosphere was un.
usually free from haze. 1t was the occasion

the lateness of the hour, they did not await
the passing of the shadow.
MP AND TUcK.-The race between the

better ball than those Cleveland will finish

slightly in favor of Baltimore.

of our people and their interest in education
