Uorrlasey last week handed over to the Enlghte ot Bt Patrick, $1,016, the proceeds ot tbe recent sparring e^blUon given at Hoym's Theatre, In the ,Bowery, tor the benefit of the Jrlah Belief Fund. Not ba& for the " brutal prize figtitarai" Is It! en ot the EoUor^-.who t9«k part In ibe proceedings, were Uanolt, Wood, Beach, Beao^'Sprague,'Speiioe, and Devyn, It -wu really a treat to see Bnrkguk pltoh; he U unquestionably now the finest plteherln'the country, 'Kioeedlngly swift in taoe, accurate In deUveiy, and having a thorough oommand of he ball, and being withal a first da's fielder, and oool and self- Dsseseed while In a mateh, he pannot but be regarded as tha : Ight man In the right place, and the poaaesslon of such a player as this man, u undoubtedly a great advantage to the dub he belongs to. But even as tha swiftest and best bowling in cricket bai been mastered by the baittog, ao oan tha awlttest and best fielding In base boU be over, come by masterly and skUful nse of the bat, and ln,thla respect the Atlantloa have an advantage, so that the contest may be said to be u nearly eqnid between them as can wall be. Al. ready the betting tTawmlty have entered into engogemente In regard to the result, and no doubt thousands at dollars will change bands on the occasion of tha first mateh t)atween tbtoi. In oonneotlon with these conteste for the Champtenshlp, and fn view of the toot that the season hss Just tMen .oomnienoed, we-woiU suggest to aU players to give a little heed:to the fol> lowing hlnte, aa they are oalculatedto benefit aU who do pay attonuon to them:— Ant—Devote one day, at least, each week, to praotlalng th* first nine together as a whole, eUber against the seoond nine or aweU picked field of players, The habit ot mUlng np the nines together on praottca daya to undonbtadly good enough, per- haps, for general exercise in tha several departmente at the game, but ft Is not a custom calculated to Improve the play ot • nine at a vUU. tlntU theilnt nine of a club Is thoroughly dis- ciplined to play together'harmonleusly, both as regards their movemente on the field, and their oanndenoe in and knowledge of BOoh other'a play, they never wlU play with that degree of skiUandefleot that they would it they were thoroughly ftto- ' Used In their regularly appointed poBlt(pns. Therefere, we say to aU dubs,but espedaUy to those about entering Into any im- Sortuit lerlea of ouiteite, i^ractlce ysu first nine against the dd as often aayoinian, ana dlsolpllae them to play together oa a whole. Nine weU drilled aeoond rate jplayers are frequently worth tvrlce as teucb as a nine composed entlrdy ot first dais players, but who have not played together. This te tha oblef reasen why amalgamated nlnea do not eucoeed aa well as people are led to expeot nom the quality ot material ot which they are oom^oaed. . iScconilly—Let ebedlenoe to the commands of the Captain ef tha day be the strict order ot the game, bb It merely tor practice or a regnlar match: and above aU pray refrain from that usdeos and abrart habit ef grumbling aid gro^rllna at each other If matters do not ran as smootUy as they might do. Bemember that every player, for hU own oradlt sake, wlU strive to de bis beat, and aU the oeniun In-the wAld won't mend the matter it he tkll; on the contrary, it is Ukely to make him play ten times worse. Of aU the nuisances of a baU-gronnd, save us tnm these snarling, fault-finding dlspcelUonS, that continually can- snrs averr tallura to aucoeed, and barely tolerate any eredllabl» effort thai does not emanate from themsdves. - nieref ore. It yen cannet praise a man for what he does, pray keep silent, unleas- yonwiihtogratuy you malice and Hi-nature at bte expense. One word mere and we have done, Remembkr that a ereltotle victory abides only with that party, who. In winning the matoh,. have marked their play aa -anob by their ooutesy of demeanor, liberality of action, and the good playing they have displayed,, as by their sklU In the several departmente of the game.

The eesaonit 1663 la going to! be marked by a series of the most exdtlDg and brUllut games fbr the ohamplohshlp that have hitherto marked tha.ai)nals of ou American game or base' ball. For yean past, the noted Atlantic club ruled the roast In boll playing clroles, their nliA never having been defeated in a regularly conteated series of home and home games previous to their defeat by the Ecktord dab, last summer. Indeed, the Eok- toTde were the only dub, beelde the Excelslom, that could even come. near them before. 1861, the Untuals, of New Tork, then taking a hand lit the game, and winning two balls eut ot three from Qiem. There wlUbe several candldataa for the champlenihlo honon thte season, but the contest between the Atlantica and EcktordawlUbetheprlndpdone. The Untuals are preparinir to "go In and win." and so ar; the Bareka'a, of Newark, and doubt- leas the Unions, ot Uortsanla,'Intend putting In an -appearance their fameus pitcher, Hannegau, having proved himself to bee very troublesome customer to have agauiBt one Ih a mateh. But, aa we said before, the great fight wlU be between theAflauUos and Eckfords, and defend upon it whldi ever wins in thA great battle between them, they are not going to permit any other dub to wrest the hard-earned trophy from them, this year at any rate.
