New York, June S.-The Cincinnatis outplayed the New Yorks at every point today. They put up an errorless fielding game and though they did not hit Dad" Clarke hard, their sacrifice hitting was about the most skiliful seen here in some time. This, coupled with few base hits and some costly errors. gave them enough runs to win easily. The home team showed a surprising weakness at the bat. Attendance, 4000. Score:

 ham, Ala
 Dear Sir: I am greatly pleased to ac- knowledge receipt of your kind invitation of this date extending free admission to baseball park Wednesday, June 10, to all commissioned officers, as also the reSl- mental band
 We thoroughly appreciate your kind ness, and will accept the invitation
 Your team is playing an excellent qual- ity of ball, and should receive every en- couragement.
 You might state through the columns of the newspapers that on that day the regimental band will discourse music during the game.
 Again thanking you, I remain, yours very truly, 10. l.. HIGDON,
 That New Orleans has very uncouth and dirty ball players was clearly mani fested yesterday. One thing, which was especially noticeable, out of place and loudly condemned by every one, was Houseman's remark from the coachers' box when Fuller was forced to retire on account of having dislocated thumb. After Rappold donned the protector and mask Houseman exclaimed loud enough to be heard out of the lot: Come on, boys; one is laid up, but we can't help that" Such remarks will not help a player to gain the respect of the audi ence, and Manager Powell could have won favor by openly admonishing the man who made the brutal remark.
 One thing noticeable about the Bir- mingham team is their gentlemanly con duct on and off the grounds. Even the New Orleans papers gave them praise which is far more than they have ever done for their own men.
 Gorton led in batting yesterday, getting two singles and a double, leading Smith of the opposing team, who got in clean double and scratch single. These were the only players who connected more than once with the sphere.
 'Tis a pity Manager Knowles of the Atlanta aggregation lost his temper yes terday afternoon at Montgomery, though his loss was to our benefit, as we are as close to his teams percentage mark as we were before the game here.
 Mobile lost out to the tailenders, and 1t looks as if they are anxious to bring up the rear guard.

American patent system, says an eX-

But In those early days few patents

that the American nation began to be
noted for Its inventive powers.
AS the Scientific American points out,
up to the end of the year 1S45 only 81
sI3 patents had been issued by the pat
ent office of the United States. When
the year 1895 closed the number was
531 $40, n wonderful tribute to the in
ventive genius of the American people,
because of this great number compare
lively few We're issued to foreigners.
THE largeness of the number Is tri-
butte 10 the far-sighted liberality of the
patent statutes, originally established
by our fOrefathcrs in the days when
the individual counted for far more
than In the present day of fierce compe-
tition and wealthy combinations of cap

make his Washington speech from the
east front of the capitol If the present
program is adhered to. He is to be in TIE
city next Saturday. the 18th inst. which
is the Tooth anniversary of Washington
farewell address. The local committee
having charge of the reception conceived
the idea of making the occasion cole
bration of the anniversary, and concluded
that in so doing no more appropriate
place could be selected than the capitol
grounds They accordingly made appli-
cation to Vic President Stevenson and
Speaker Reed. in whom the law vests the
control of the capitol grounds. rele-
grams asking permission to hold the
meeting there were sent out yesterday
The vice president responded promptly,
giving his sanction. but Mr.. Reed reply
was not received until some time later,
though he was also willing.
The use of the capitol grounds Is very
rarely granted for any public demonstra-
ton The effort of j. S. Coxey to secure
the privilege Is the last case In point. IL
| Is now the intention of the committee 10
| erect a platform on the east front of the
capitol where the inaugural addresses oi
! the presidents are made. The grounds IN
