Two ex-New Yorkers-German and Farrell

up for the occasion yesterday. He not only
pitched pretty good game, but he fieltled

shown how entertainments Of this
class can be made acceptable to
every one, and devoid of offense to
any. Nothing has been seen or

IN THE annual report of the Sec
rotary of War to Congress, recon-
mendation is made that an appro-
priation of over $50, 900 600 be voted
for the service, including coast de-
lenses. 1t is reported that the
lower branch of Congress has passed
a resolution favoring an appropria-
ton of one hundred millions for
coast defences, to be expended dur
ing the next ten years. This sum
will be none too large to carry out
the object designed. There are but
two important ports that may be
said to be well supplied with defen-
ces against any armed force-New
York and San Francisco. OF the
fifteen or twenty remaining large
ports, not one is believed to be safe
from capture and destruction.
