Notes of Interest.

The City by the Sea, Newport, was re-
joiciug last evening over two important
matters that took place within the last "a
hours-matters which interested vitality
every inhabitant in that city Of culture
and refinement. The first was that an
heiress had been born to share the Whit
ney- Vanderbilt millions; and secondly
that Sir Michael Finn, ESQ.,, and his band
of Casino attendants swooped down upon
this beautiful city of ours and trailled the
pride Of the Maroons in the dust. In the
latter performance the Bath Road beauties
were ably assisted by the young man who
was delegated to pass judgment upon the
hne points of the game in the umpire's
box.
Notwithstanding the good lead the
Maroons obtained in the first two innings
the new..;S, bedecked girls from the SUMMER
capital pulled themselves together in the
second inning, and, after the third man was
struck out in all fairness, proceeded to do
unutterable things to Mr.. Gallagher's
mixtures; so much 80 that the young man
was requested to take seat upon the
bench by Manager Smith and Todd was
introduced to the ladies.
While Mr.. Todd was particularly well
pleased to meet the charming girls, yet he
did not allow their smiles to detract him
from attending strictly to business; and
business it was from the time he made his
initial bow until the girls waived fond
sdieu, carrying away with them the honors
of the day.
The game opened up in dashing way
for the Maroons and it looked for time
n II Mr.. Hawley was to receive some hard
treatment from Manager Smiths aggre-
CATION.
By q combination of good stick work
and three or four ragged errors by the
seaside colts the Maroons secured lead
Of three runs in the first two innings.
Gallagher was on the slab for the Paw
tuckets, and for the first two innings mys-
titled the summer darlings by his rainbow
exhibition of curves. In the second inning
the girls said that his curves were just toe
sweet for anything, and hugged them to
= the extent of several sky-scrapers In vari-
ous directions of the globe. All this hap
pened, however, after the side ought te
have been out.
Breckenridge used poor judgment IN
calling strikes, and made Gallagher spill
the plate. After the third inning 1t was {
clean game of ball and number OF bril-
liant plays were made. Todd pitched su'
psrb ball, only one run being made Of hi
delivery, and that was q home run drive
By Kelley over the rightneld fence. Severa
times the Maroons had chance to wiz
out the game, bnt the necessary hits wer,
mot forthcoming at the opportune mo
ment.
Hawley, who was in the box for New
port, pteadied down after the second in
ming, and, assisted by sharp fielding, KEEP
the Maroons from becoming dangeroui
For the home team Todd, by his batting
and News, with Ms snappy work on sec
ond base, carried OF the honors OF u
day. Breckenridge's work throughout Il
game was erratic, and In consequence al
other defeat was credited to the Maroon
The ecore:
