Grays Played Well For
Seven Innings.
A STREAK OF BATTING
Ia Eighth and Ninth Innings Gave
Home Team Long Lead.
EASTERN LEAGUE STANDING.

Ottawa. Aug. 6.-The Providence
Grays put up fine game for seven in
nings against the Ottawas yesterday,
but in the eighth the home team had a
streak OF batting which sent them
ahead with a rush and gave them a
wide margin.
The Ottawas had got lead OF sin
gle run In the second inning and held
the lead all the way. After that each
side managed to score a run at time
until the score was 4 TO 2 in favor OF
Ottawa at the end of the seventh and
the result seemed very uncertain with
both pitchers keeping the hits well
scattered. In the eighth everything
went in favor OF the home team. One
after another five OF the home players
succeeded in barely getting away with
their efforts in meeting the ball and
this aggravating scratch hitting made
the visiting fieldeTs wild and they went
to pieces. IT was useless for Egan TO
strive TO hold the opposing batsmen
down after that, for the men behind
him could not seem to connect in a
way to give him adequate support.

ed by Providence, made his first ap-

Washington. Aug. 6.-The commits
sioner Of internal revenue has rendered
a decision In which he holds that con-
tracts OF reinsurance, with certain
stated exceptions, are not subject to the
stamp tax. Reinsurance Is under
stood to be an assumption by one in
surance company OF some portion OF a
risk which has been taken In full by an
other company and policy duly is
sued therefor. This IL not done by the
issuance OF another policy. but by an
entry made by the insurIng company In
a. register belonging to the rcinsurins
company. The effect is the same as II
each company originally had issued a
policy for the portion Of the total risks
which II respectively assumes. and the
total tax paid would be the same as is
paid by the one company assuming the
entire risk The exception is that IL
the risk should become extra hazardous
and the reinsurance should be obtained
only upon the payment OF an extra pre-
MUM, this extra premium is taxable,
and the stamp covering IL may be affixed
to the page in the register opposite the
entry.
In the case OF receipts for rent and
where there are no recitals, no stamp
is required; but IL the receipt con-
tains any phrase or clause that can be
construed as contract for the hire,
use or rent, then in such cases the re-
ceipt is held to become something more
than a bare receipt and should be
stamped according TO Its tenor or effect.
The insertion of the words in a rent re-
ceipt .as leased for August. 1885," is held
to render II subject to the tax.
