which did not apply to previous
games, the most noticeable of which
We're, large audience, fast play, and
best fielding of the seasons games;
ten innings game, smallness of the
score, and smile which has not
illumiued Capt. Wilder's counte-

not be pressed in to fill, walked to
the strikers plate and called, "Play,"
thus introducing himself to the
ladies as the umpire. A clerical
looking gen leman, carrying pom
derous tome, was recognized as
Scorer Blaekley, who, after being
seated, signifed the correctness of
the batting lists and judged that
the St, Louis should go first to the
bat, aud the game went thus:
In the first the St. Louis got
goose egg, Thompson and Clark
failing to reach first; Aiwohi strik-
ing out; Willis and Gleason died on
bases The Stars by Lishmsn got
their first run, he striking high to
Hansmann, (who muffed) getting
first, stealing second and third, and
home on Wilder's hit. Mahuka also
made run, sending the ball by sec
ond getting first, stealing second,
and home on Pahau hit. Holt
stopped Pryce's fly, and Dayton's
throw to Gleason cut off Wilder,
while Hart failed to reach first.
This opening for the Star was hailed
by the Regiment deputation in the
grand stand with delight.
In the End: Lemon hit TO right,
misjudgod by McNichol, and got
third; Hansmsnn flied out to Lish-
mana good catch; Holt hit hard
to right for two bases, sending Hans

OF the innings, Dayton going out at
first, and although Holt made a
dandy steal to third, he died there.

strikes. For the Stars, Woods flied
to Willis, Koki out Lemon to Willis,

Iu the 3rd, the Stars added an
other tally, and also in the 9th,
while the st. Louis evened up mat
tiers by bringing one tally in the 9th
aud two in the 9Th. At the 9th the
contest was even in score. In this
inning Lishmap, with Kokis assist
auce at first, stopped the hopes of
Hansmann and Holt, while Hart
nipped the aspirations of youthful
Dayton in the bud. The Stars got

out; McNichol fell short OF first,
