the first two innings and durIng that
period We had much the BEST Of the re-
douhtablo Manchester team, and 30 won.
Although the score Telstes that the
Manehestsrs made enc less error than we
did and outbatted us nearly two tn one,
yet our hits counted for the most because
save enc, We got then al together, and
earned four Of the six runs we made.

Poor little Curran kept on hoisting

and Capt. Carney cent another man to

James's batting was one OF the chief
factors in this winning and his brilliant
work at shore field contributed further to
the very excellent result of which the
