The Terrific Invincibles were

SO narrow was the margin bv
which the victory was won, that

both sides. No ignominious terms
OF surrender were exacted by the
gallant foe, the conquered being
permitted to retire from the field
with their arms and standards.
The battle field presented an
imp osing spectacle every seat in
the grand stand being filed and the
diamond surrounded BY surging

Three more runs were placed to
the credit of the Terribles in the
