New York Clipper (Sep 1877)

September 8,1877. 4 EDBOPEAK DB AMAH C HOTELHES. a, new four-act comedy by Oeor^e Obnet, was act- ed tor the flnt time on Ang. II at the Ormnose Theatre. Farla. The plot la aa toUowa: Madame Aabertln haa been married young to an old widower with two children—a boy and girl. She was aoon left alone lo lake charge ot Jean and ICarthe. towarda whom she sbow«d all tlio care- ful eoUdtude ot a real mother. Uadame Auber- tln IB barely thirty when Jean has concluded his year's eerrlce as a Tolanteer, and Uarthe has reocbed far Into her teens—In fact, It is not too soon to think ot analog ber a husband. A U. Se Brlvade Is a constant Tlsltor at Madame Aabcr- ttn's house, and passes long hours alone with her. They ore attached to each other. M. De BrlTsde Is two years younger than the lady, but that Is a disparity ot no conseiiuence: and, as he Is bis own master, and their attachment Is mu- too], there Is no apparent obstacle to their be- coming man and wife. M. De Brlvade is a hand- some, impoalng-looklng man, and Marthe, seeing him every day coming to the house, takes a girlish fancy to him, and Imagines that his Tlslts are In- tended tor her. Bhe does not think ot Uadome Auberdn, who In her eyes Is an old woman, a mother, and nothing more. Marthe bad cooHded this secret passion to her brother while he was with his regiment, and her letters describing her feelings gave pleasare to Jean, who knows M. De Brlvade, and *>»*"fc« be would make an excellent brother-in-law. So the llbeisted volunteer re- tains to the family hearth full with the Idea ot oonclndlng, the marriage aa soon as possible. The nrst moment, consequently, that he IlndB himself alone with bis atepmotber he blurts oat: *'JL De Brlvade comes very often: people will soon begin to chatter about his visits; when Is 'the wedding to take placer* Madame Aubertln starts at the word, for she fancies It refers to herself, but Is soon undeceived and made aware that Marthe loves M. De Brlvade. The latter tradnally shifts round from the wo- man to whom he bad professed himself to be so ardently attached, and, consenting to the sscilllce she mokes, agrees to give his band to the young, thoughtless girl, who declares she will die If he does not make her his wife. But before this result Is attained and the spectators are dis- missed, a series ot oompUcatlODS Intervene. U. De Brlvade, who poasasses a key to Madame Au- bertln's apartment, comes to seek a final explana- tion. People who ore Interested in finding that lady In the wrong become aware of this furtive visit, and bwnten to tell Jean that a robber has slipped Into the house. The crack-brained young man rushes abont from room to room, until he reaches that ot his stepmother, where he Is stopped on the threshold by Harthe, who tells him that she haa searched, and that there Is no one In Madame Aubertln's apartment. But no sooner has Jean turned bis back than the girl bids an old inend ot the tamlly help H. De Brlvade to escape. "He Is," she says, "In my moth- er's room." Later on, tbe scatter-brained Jean learns that De Brlvade Is once more In his mother's room, whereupon he kicks up a terrible low, creates a tremendous scandal, challenges that gentleman, and all Is arranged tor an abeiud duel. But all seoms to be settled on the ground— sstlsiactorlly for the persons concerned at least. It not for the audience, as the Intending combat- ants return safe and sound, without having pro- ceeded to hostilities. Marthe Is convinced that her stepmother has never had a criminal In- tidgne witb M. De Brlvade. whoee band tbe fiery Jean places In that ot hla slstsr, and an elderly Baron, who had played a subordinate part In the preceding acdon, makes Madame Aubertln his wife. This strained, unnatural, and really rl- dlnilons conclusion pats the finishing touch to a wearisome series of false situations, and the cur- tain (alls on two as Ul-onorted couples as were ever linked together on a stage. Mile. Iiefcault appeared as the heroine, Madame Fromentm as Uadame Aubertln, Pulol as De Brlvade, and Ahel as Jean. "TWINE THE PIiAIDEir," a drama from the pen of a. B. Walker, received Us Initial representation on Aug. 10 at the Thea- tre Boyal, Plymouth. Eng. The plot turns prin- cipally upon the 111 effects ot a secret marriage, contracted In Italy, between a romantic English BChooIglrl, lAdy Helen ot Olsrenslde, and a de- signing Italian, Blzordo, a supposed professor ot drawing and Isiigaages. Alter the marriage Blx- stdo Is arrested In his true character ot a brlgand- chlef, and as a felon, with the manacles on his wrists, the unhappy young wife seee btm convey- ed to prison. A child la bom, bearing upon his wrists tbe marks ot bis father's degradation. Slzardo escapes, and, fladlng his wife will no lunger follow his doubtful fortunes, he seizes the child: but, being pursued, he leaves It to perish, sending the nnbappy mother the news that It is dead. BJzardo is captured and sentenced to Imprisonment for life, and I«dy Helen re- toms home to England, concealing the story ot her in-fated marriage from her brother, the proud Earl of Clatenslde, whose young wife has died before she could present him with an heir to his noble name. Feeling that no other woman can ever fill her place, and that his sister, for resaons he cannot comprehend,refuses every alll- sncs, he adopts a nephew and niece—Pearl and Balph Clarence. Teoia pass. Blzordo escapes from prison, and discovers the son he left to perish has been rescued and adopted by an old soboolmaater named Massimo, In Albano. The : boy la nineteen years ot age, and tbe Idol ot the Aecadamla. He Is called Twine the Plalden, from having drawn this horse In a sweepstake. Rl- sardo tells him that he Is no son of Massimo—that his mother Is a wealthy bntheartlees woman. The marks upon his wrists he declares were engraved by the cord with which she had ded them when he was an Infant, with the view to his de- struction In a river. Massimo sdmlts that Twine is not his son, and the boy, pntsned at every turn by Rlzaido, files from the place. Changing his clothes for those of an Imptovlsatore, he comes to England In company with an Italian bird- tamer, who meets with an accident and dies, and In sheer destitution Twine assnmea blslUe. He appears at Clarenslde on Lady Helen's birthday, dtulng a fete In ber honor, and with his clever birds and quaint Italian songs soon makes blm- saU popular. He comes upon Lady Helen, seated tmder a noble chestnut-tree, and Is ssked to Im- provise upon her birthday, which he does in such a manner as to create, a powerful Intereei for him In Lady Helen's 'heart. While he Is musing on the day's adventures, he hears from Lady Helen'a maid that years ago a young Earl of Clarenslde degraded his name by a fatal mar- riage, and fied from tale home. Tears passed. He was supposed to have perished,- but one Winter's morning he was found dead under a tree, with a paper In his hand, upon which was written-the motto ot his house—"Death rather than dishonor." Tbe present Earl bad the words cut In the trunk, and every year Lady Helen comes to the tree and sits for an hotiroutot respect to the young Earl's memory. The sound of cricketers comes through tbe park, and Twine, watchlnc the sport, catches and flings an the ball, ending the match. Balph. tbe adopt- eds on ot the Earl, runs on to thank tlm, and In Twine tbe Plalden recognizee his bosom friend ot tbe Acoodamla TlberxUa. Hearing bis story with amazement, he declares he will Interest the Earl In his favor. Just as all seenui well, and the £arl has taken Twine Into bis aemce, Klzardo appears upon the scene; and here, when father, mother and son meet, occur a series of highly- wrought situations, having an Intense and excit- ing Interest. The Italian, having cnimlngly gain- ed the confidence of the Earl, endeavors by threats to obtain his rights from bis deeply- wionged wife, and to ruin Balph, whom he has met and duped. In the Earl's estimation; and It Is then that Twine the Plalden, who Is drawn Instinctively towards the woman whom be ultimately leoms to be his mother, endeavors to thwart tbe schemes ot Rizordo. The excitement cnlmlnatM when Blzordo tells the noble-hearted boy that he is threatening his own father, and ex- posing the ehame of his own mother. The scene culminates In Blzardo Inducing Balph, who has forged the Earl's name, to steal tbe forged bill. Balph has confessed to Twine hla danger, and how Blzardo met and led him Into gambling. Twine gets tbe bill and destroys It, as Blzardo, thinking be la removing Balph from bis path, fires and wounds bis own son. Tbe bouse Is alarmed. Twine accused of theft, Blzardo ex- poses Ijulj Helen to her brother, leaving the Zarl, however, lo Imagine that It was a miserable liaison between blm and his sister, and Twine is mode to confess he Is the boy found by Usaslmo. I^y Helen taints, and Twine, tblnklng tbe sight Ot her shams has killed her, that he is the living brand ot dishonor upon a noble house, breaks from the window Into a pelting snowstorm. The last act Is short, and embraces the pursuit of Blzardo by a cleverly-conceived character, Sig- Bor Tito, connected with the Itollon secret po- lios, and tbe searcb for Twine, Massimo hav- ing made all clear to the Earl, who is now •sger in bts command ibat tbe boy should be looiuL Twine, fainting from his wound, stag- gen through ibe snow. Fmding himself pur- sued, be changes shoes wltb an old woodman, and makes for tbe chestnnt-tree under which bis Brest uncle expiated his disgrace, ond when he nrBt saw his mother. With the only remaining bird in bis breast, and mnrmorlDg happy days at the Aecadamla, be .sinks Into a torpor as the bird rises from his boeom with a painful cblrmp, and falls bsck dead.

Courtitew Deleats Riley anil Plalsted FASmr TIKE oil Beoobd. Tbe sculling race for a purse and stake of eight hundred dollars, in which tbe principals were Charles £. Courtney, Jsmes H. Riley and Fred A. Plalsied, came off on Saratoga Lake, N. T., on Tuesday morning, Aug. 28, and terminated in the victory of tbe first named, who knocked several secondsoir tbe best tlmeeverbeforoaccomplished in a three-mile race, although be evidently bad something in hand at the finish, and was there- fore capable ot doing even better than he found occasion to do then. The race In question was broughtabouttbroughthelnstrumentalltyof John Morrlssey and H. O. Meeker, the loiter of whom suggeetedtbataraceon the lake in which Courtney and Blley could be bronght together, and which should be thrown open to all who could furnish an entrance fee sufficiently large to keep out all second-raten, would be exceedingly interesting to the public, and correspondingly profitable for Saratoga. The saggestlon found favor In the eyes ot Morrlssey, and during the latter part of July be pabllcly annonnced that he would give a purse ot SBOO to the winner ot a three-mile scnllera' race, open to all, each competitor to pay an en- trance fee ot $100, and tbe entire amount to be handed to the victor. It had been thought prob. able that the Inducement offered would be great enough to insure the attendance ot several other oarsmen from different parts ot the country; but sucb did not prove to be the case, only those' named above^whoee participation was assured at the time the offer was made—came to the poet. However, what the devotees snd admlrera of the rowing art particularly de- sired to see was a decisive settlement of the question of superior proweas between Court- ney and Riley, whose fiasco at Greenwood Lake July li had but served to whet public appetite for a trial of skill and strength between them: con- sequently the abeence of other aquatic stars wss not regretted by many—In tact the majority would hove preferred thot no one at all save "Charley" and "Jim" hod token port in the contest; snd the seqael proved that, had the race been confined to them, there would have been no occasion for the tault-flndlng subsequently Indulged in by Riley, nor is It probable that any question would hove orlsen as to the decisiveness of the struggle. The expectotlons that the race would attract to the ootirse a greoter throng than bad yet been at this fashionable resort during the season were realized to the fullest extent, the resources of tbe eeveral hotels being pretty well tested the night previously, while the trains, regu- lar and special, which arrived on the morning ot the race brought large additions to the numbers who had gone before. Facilltiea tor reaching the oonise were ample, however, and, to those whose democratic proclivities ran In the direction ot omnibuses and carryalls of leas pretentious ap- pearance, the price ot transportation to the lake- aide waavery reasonable; but, as upon all such oooislons, livery proprietors and hockmen sent the tariff 'way up, and reaped their doelug bar- vest ot the sesson of '77, which to them hss been less golden than for some yean i>asL Aa the Ume ot etartlng was set between eleven o'clock A. u. ond one o'clock F. u., iieople were astir earlier thon nsuol, and the broad, well-kept rood to the loke was soon crowded wltb vehicles ot every imaginable description, the procession continuing for several hours, and everybody aubmltUng good-naturedly to tbe discomforts and incon- veniences to which upon occasions like tbis pleasure-seekers ora unovoldobly eubjected, and which they in time learn to bear with becoming patience- The greoter part ot the multitude- estimated at considerably over ten tbousand— took up their station in the neighborhood ot Moon's, the lawn which slopes down from the hotel to the water's edge being black with people, while the shores of tbe lake as for up as Point Breeze were thickly fringed wltb spectators. While they ara waiting for the appearance ot the trio ot scuUera, we wlU present for the reader's enllghteiunent brief sketches of the men who are to do tbe pulling: Charlcs E.

The boats in which the men rowed ore thus de- ecrlbed: Courtney'o—Length, 29tt,; beam, U^la.; depth, 5>jln.; weight, Sltb, Buoy's—Length, 29tt,; beam, ll>iln,; depth, 6j^ln.; weight, Sltb, Plala- ted'a—Length, 2Stt-; beam, liyila. ; deptb, G^jin,; weight. 2S>in>, The course was from a point op- posite Moon's, one mile and a holf up the lake to three buoys placed well apart, and raturn. Dur- ing the morning a west wind roughened the water to an extent which it was thought would cause o postponement; but, fortunotely, obout holt-post ten the wind began to go down, ond, tbe woter be- coming smoother, the referee, Wm. R, Curtis, de- cided to etort the race, which he did shortly post eleven o'clock, the men having come promptly to their stotlons, THE RACE, Ootching the water firmly and at the aame In- stant, the competitors went owoy to o perfectly even start; but Plalated, who was ripping his sculls through the woter ot o rate which he could not long hold to, forced his bow ahead ot the otbera before o hundred yards had been gone, ondllnle by little hla epurtlng atroke enablr l him to gain, until at the quarter-mile he was leading by a trifie more thon o half-length, Rl- ley, whose stroke was within o shade of being as fastas tbatshown by tbe leader, was second, more than a length In front ot Courtney, who was pull- ing bis ueuol long, powerful stroke, and seemingly not at all anxious to secure tho foremost posi- tion thus early in the race. Doubtless he thought it the beat policy to allow the others to pull tbem- selves to pieces before putting forth bis full power. During tbe next quarter, Riloy crawled np a few feet on Plalated, but In turn Courtney had laid himselt on almost even terms wltb the second man. and seemed surely going to tbe front, now that he had felt bis men at their best. Just otter passing this point, the leoder put in on extra dozen with such power that he drew clear ot Rl- ley, and, crosHing to the eastward, took his water, giving In eiuhonge therefor the benefit ot his wash. To the regret of these on theratoree's boat, he kept there, not only bothering Rlley, but rendering probable the disagreeable adjunct of o foul, which would have occurred loter hod not Plaisted, upon whom Rlley was coming up hand over hand, pulled out ot danger when near the mile flog. Courtney, who had been gaining right along, was nearly abreast ot Plaisted at the mile, with Rlley third by a scant half-lengtb. Courtney was pulling bnt a little slower than when be started, but both hls-an- tagonlsts had dropped considerably, and were now doing two or three lees to the minute than blm. They reached their etakeboats almost together, Courtney, however, being first to be- gin to turn, Rlley and Plalated following at the same instant: but Rlley made a better turn than the latter, and straightened for home ssoond, going off a few feet only behind Courtney, Wltb the wind tayorlng them, tbe trio began tbe home journey In a dashing man- ner, each man working like a trooper, and all, as befora. doing good, clean work, wbi*:!! elicited the atl miration ot those who were enJoylDg the spec- tacle : but the exertions he had been luid was tben making proved too much of a strain on Plaisted, who began to lose way, and, before reaching tbe two-mile mark, ceased rowing altogether, having. It was subsequently stated, been seized with severe pains in the side. He did not persevere; but, after resting a few mlnates, paddled slowly homewards—o thoroughly used-up man. Ucan- whlle the two old opponents and rivals were both pegging away steadily, ond as the two-mile flog was neared Rlley spurted grandly, and his friends hod the satisfaction ot seeing bis shell ahow to the ton; bnt tbe strain waa too great on him, and as bis stroke slowed Courtney's ateady drag aent uin boat up levai almost Imjnedlatalr, and then gradnolly ahead, ne having a nalf-length the best of it at tbe end of the two mllos. To the experienced observer tbe triumph of Court- ney was, bar accident, now fully assured; for, without departing from bis slow, messured, but most eirectlve puu ot stmuithirty-three or thlrty- fuur to tbe minute, buldlng tUe water haul all tho way and recovering quickly, he keptasnfe distance ahead, despite tbe muscle-etrolning efforts ot his antagonist, wbose rowing may be aald to bave been one continual spurt for the final three-quar- tcnofamlle. As Rlley momentarily slocked, tbe boat perceptibly dropped astom, and at the end Ot the fifth halt-mile ho was nearly four lengths to the bad. He was plolnly tired, ond his pulling during the closing half-mile was uneven, and his steering foulty, while, on tbe other bond, Court- ney eeemed fully as strong, and rowed In quite as good form OS at the etort- Once the latter stopped for a few seconds, and coolly wiped the perapira- tlon from hla forehead, which enabled Rlley to moke up eome of the distance: but, upon resum- ing, the Dnion-springs sculler quickened his stroke somewhat, and went owoy again, finishing the three miles with a leod of nearly five lengths. Though perspiring freely, ho was still strong and comparatively fresh—wonderfully so, considering tbe character ot tbe race and tbe fact that It waa rowed in 20mln. iT^sec., being tbe fattest tlmeon record. In rowing over the course at Greenwood Lake, Rlley was stated to bave aooompUsbed tbe distance in a quarter of o second less time; but, there being gor>d reason tor doubting tbe oorrectneas ot tbe figures then given, tbe time was rejected. Tbe contest at Saratoga, too, took place over water much leas adapted for alngle- scull rowing than that which Rlley encountered at Oreenwood; so that the winner'a performance on thla occasion ranks decidedly the beat. Courtney'a triumph gave oatlsfoctlon to tbe ma- jority ot the multitude, Judging from the enthu- siasm with which It was boiled and the frantic efforts of tbe crowd to get at him when be pulled ashore. Hearty congratulations were showered upon him, and it was with great diffi- culty ttaot he prevented the attempts ot over- zealous partisans to seize and carry him off bodily. As Is bis wont, Charley bore his honors with becoming and unusuol modesty; but it wss evident, from his solf-sotlBfied alr^ thot he Inwardly rejoiced in the triumph he had achieved, more particularly as it would have a tendency to prove that Illness and not dread ot defeat was the cause ot his failure to start at Oreenwood Lake, uid put a stop to the tongues of those who. In consequence ot said failure, hod loudly asserted that he feared to meet a man who, tboagh bavlng been repeatedly beaten by blm, hod greatly Improved, while Charley hiul fallen off In pace. Alter the race, Biley staled to tbe referee that he bod been fouled by Ploieted (their oora striking), and asked that the race be ordered to be rowed over; but that officio], oon- elderlng that the loul. It foal leally occurred, was unintentional, and did not binder either man, while he was satisfied that Courtney, who hod kept well clear of the others, won on his merits, disallowed tbe claim, and declared tbe race in bis lavor. The result ot this contest csimot but be re- garded by experienced boating men as aettllng conclusively the point so long In dispute between tbe newly-fledged professionals, not esteeming the alight blndranoe to which Blley was sub- jected by Plaisted early intbe rtbce as having any bearing upon the result. They were upon equal terms, it may be sold, ot the end of holf the jour- ney; within tbe next baU-mlle, Blley for a few moments headed Courtney; and if be could have won at oil, he certainly had the opportunity to do so, aa there was naught to prevent save and except the superior prowess ot the man who was opposed to blm, and who wss ca- poble ot making the pace hotter than he did; therefore, tbe cilk foolishly indulged In by some. of the loser's partisans, to the effect that, hod he been nlven a free course from the send-off, he could have won. Is not worth listening to. That Blley made a moet determined struggle, and gamely pulled one of the hardest ot stem-cbsses, is certain, and ue Is deserving of all praise for the gallant fl£ut he node; but he and bis friends sre wrong In endeavoring to detract from the credit due tbe victor. Ur, Delafleld ot tbe Nep- tune Club expressed a desire to motch Blley against Courtney, to row within ten days over the same coune, or o atzalghtowoy three miles, to which Courtney la understood to have respond- ed that he will nw Blley eucb a race on Seneca Lake, or be will pull two racea, one on the latter sheet of water ond the other at Saratoga. Aa the loeer'a trlenda appear anz- loua for another trial. It Is probable that a match will be arranged and decided soon. The majority ot those Interested In aquatic mat- tere l<x)k npon Courtney as the fsstest three-mile sculler In tbe country; and, tbongb he has never been publicly tried at a longer dlslanoe, there seems no reason, fnm the nature ot his perform- ances In the past, to queadcin his being equally as good Oman at the chompionshlp dlstanoe—five miles—as bla ataylng powera appear to be fully equal to tbe tsak; and the public would like very mncb to aee him matched wltb tbe victor In tbe present obamplonablp match between KorrlB and Luther. ^^-^^ THB TfUCKKTT-RVSH RACE.

The weather was in every respect fovoreble, for there was little wind (what there waa waa blowing up atream), and there was o fast-running flood- At the first at- tempt Brian came away alone, but at the aeoond they go off on fairly level terma. Brian atruck the water first: but Tarryer, rowing tbe taater stroke. In on Instant took the lead, and at the Star atad Oarter waa half a length ahead, which be Increaaed at Blmmona' to a length and a half, Hla steering thus far waa faulty, going over too much to the Surrey shore, and he was rowing In mid-stream opposite Beverley Brook, whore Tar- ryer was leading by quite a clear length. From tbla point Tarryer, keeping a better coune, gained a trifle, and It waa a aplendld race for the next mile, each apurting In turn.

There haa twen a todt consent by the public to tbe bolf-dollor fee in tbe League ehamplonahip gamea, but they do not ap- prove ot tbat fee for contests with nlnee outside the League, Tbe extreme boat of tbe weather and the bad defeat ot the Hortfords in their gome ot tbe day before with the Cincinnati nine also influenced tbe attendimce on Wedneeday, which was about bolt what tbe clubs expocted It to be, not over three or four hundred people being presenL Most ot these were i>eople curious to see tbe "tiunoua Indlanapolla pitcher," Fergu- son was a looker-on lu both games at Brooklyn, he reserving himself for the Louisville match. The game opened in favor of tbe Hsxtfords by 1 to 0; but lu tbe fourth liming errore allowed tho Indlona]>olls nine to get square, that inning closing with the score at 1 to 1, In the or'Ji tbe Harttords drew a blank, ond the Indlonopolls bod two men on earned iMsea ond two men out, when the impend- ing storm bunt fortb with a fury which ot once stopped all field-work, the dust cover- ing tbe field In clouds.

The ssoond meeting in Brooklyn between these clubs took place on the Union Grounds on Aug. 30, before about «00 spectatora, the fifty-cents tariff again lessening therecelpts. The two nices were tbe same as tbe day t)efore. Tbe contest In tbe flret five innings proved to be a singular ono, especially In tbe combination ot good and had play on both sides. The game waa opened by the Hartrorde, who were flelded out by Warner, Quest and Kolan. The last pitched extremely wildly, he sending Harbldge to bis bikse on called bolls. On tbe otber side, after Quest bitd been sent to his base on called balls—Larklu trying to emulate Kolan's pace—Allison, Corey and Burdock threw out the next three moo. In the second Inning Nolan Btlll kept up bis wild delivery, York tak- ing his base on called bolls. Then Cossldy mode a bose-hit, ond Taylor hit to Houu, tbe latter play- ing a good point, York had to get to third on Cassldy's bit—or rather bis "sub" did, tor he wss too lame to run—and when Toylor bit to Houtz York ran for home. Had Houtz attempted to put the striker out, he would hove lost his chonoe to throw out the runner going home. So be gave the striker a life, and thereby prevented o run-in-the proper woy to ploy in suc?i cases—York being put cutout at home-base. Oould ot the CIncinnails bad a similar chance in the first Cincinnati game; but he put out tbe striker, and then, throwing home, let tbe run in. Better give two llvee on bases than lAt o run in. Buns count, and men on bases don't. 'Save the runs" is the rule ot play. Better try v> do this them to make them by batting; and all yearly analyaes ot play show this. I,arkln follow- ed Taylor, and be sent a hot grounder to right centre, on which he secured bis third base. He ran directly over second base without touching It, but not a man ot the visiting nine appeared to be watching thla Importont point; and, no appeal be- ing made, Larkin kept bla baae, two men being sent home by the hit. The next two were finely fielded out by Mack, who played a model game, a hot-line fly-boll eotch eliciting merited applause. On the Indianapolis side, in tbis Inning, Molon led off wltb a two-base bit, and, in runninground, he, too, toiled to toucb first base: but bis oppo- nsnts were blind to the point, ond on Flint's aofe grounder be went to third. Two men on earned bases and none out ought to hove yielded a run; but none of the following batten tucked up the base-hitters. They did not even moke a sacrifice- hit, or send a long ball to the outfield for a fly- catch, either of which would have given a run-in. Instead, two ot them struck out, and the third was captured on a "foul" by 6tart. In the tbird inning the Hortfords were retired in order. Quest throwing one out, McSorleydlspoelngol tbe aeoond by a pretty catch of a foul-fly at third, and Bocap making a eplendld throw in from tight field to first base, putting the etjilker otit. On tbe indlanapo- Ua side, Larkin was hit for three bases, and on on error by Horbidge orun was scored, York dosing the inning by a pretty double-play on a fly-catcb. This left tbe scores at the close of the third Inn- ing ot a to 1 in fovor ot the Hortfords. In the fourth inning York and Cossldy opened with bsse-blts, and on Taylor's bit to rlght- shon o ploy occurred In which It become doubt- ful In the mind of Mathews — the umpire — ss to whether the ball struck Cossldy while he ron post Quest, or the latter bod muffed the boll. Nolan appealed, and Mothews tben violoted tbe rules by going to the field and questioning Cossldy and Quest ss to the ball's touching him. Cossldy dedored It did not, ana Quest thoughtlt didn't, ond Mathews decided Cos- sldy not out. He hod no right to question either a bsse-runner or a fielder on any point of ploy In- volved In base-running, or to decide on eucb testi- mony- Either he sow that the ball touched Cas- aldy plainly, or be did not It he waa not aure, be ahould bave aald "Notoutf at once. If be had read the new rules ottentively, be would not bove acted oo he did. Ooasldy, being given In, wos sent home on Lorkln'a hsse-hlt, as also was York, Larkin being run out by Quest on Allison's hit. Quest mwng a neat double-play, and Mack eventaitliy ending the inning by throw- ing Burdock. On the Indlanapolla aide. In thla inning, Warner opened with a baae-hlt. and by aborp running got round to third. Then Cuth- bert atruck out, and McBoraly followed with a ball to Carey, who picked It np flnely, but threw It low and wide to Allison, who muffed it, the double- error giving Warner bis run. In the meantime McSorley bad secured bis second, and on Bocap's base-hit he reached bis third. Quest tben popped up a fiy to Burdook and retired, after which Mack made a l>aae-blt to right field; and aa Oaaaldy, In returning tbe ball to home to cut off UcSorley, threw over Allleon'a head, Bocap also came In. the erron giving two runa, only one being earned. This left the totols at 4 to 1, ond the game in an Interesting position. In the fifth Inning Hor- bidge led off with a safe hit. but he was forced oat by Start's bit to Mack. Tben Cany took bla base on called balls. Melon again pitching wildly and swiftly. Mack caught York's fly-ball prettily, and Cassldy gave Bocap an easy chance tor a catch; but the ball bounded out ot bis bands, and, before It waa returned In, Start bad got home, and theothenwere on third and second bases. '~ caplng a blank, Taylor mode a Ixtse-hlt and sent in two mora runs. The Indianapolis nine tiled to offset this with a but. they oonid only, get In a single; Flint, Werner and Ontbbcrt's good bits giving an earned run. This left tbe totals at 7 to S In favor of tbe Hartfords, After tbis the two nines set- tled down to better play, and In the lost four Inn- ings the Hartfords only made a base-hit; but, what was more, they only committed one error, ond thot did not yield o run. The Indlotuipolle nine had two men on eomed bases In the eighth Inning again, wltb but one out; bnt tbe required back- ing-up ot the bat was viranted, and by onotber double-play by York they were put out without scoring, the lost Inning ending wltb tbe scoro still at 7 to E, Betoro we close we have a word tosay about Nolan and bla pitching, Inconae- quenco of the success of the club, this player has achieved o notoriety as the pitcher of the doy, That he bos speed, the "curve," etc., there is no doubt; but had he not hod the unequoled sup- port behind tbe tiat tbot Flint bos given him, not a third of tbe victories scored by the Indianapo- lis nine would have been recorded. It was evi- dent that the field-support given the pitching in this game was not up to that ot a majority of the Indlanapolla contests wltb tbe League nines; and yet tbe fielding wos up to the overage of Leogue-nlne play tbis seoson in Brooklyn. It is with pitcbere as It la with fleldera: tbey frequent- ly eom reputouons ot tbe cost of otber pUtyere, Holf tho outs fnm throws mode by the Hartford Infield ore due to tbe fine play ot Start In cap- tarlDg widely tlirown balls at flrat baas. Juat so is It in tbe case of pltchera like Nolan, Larkin and Bond, halt tbe credit they have monojtollzed be- ing due to tho splendid support given them by Flint, Allison and Brown. Look at Bradloy—tbo moat effective pitcher in tbe League—wltb Clapp to support biiD, and the same pitcher wltbout Oiopp, Nolan owes halt bis success to Flint, as does Bond to Brown and also Devlin to Snyder.

White olso scored and Sutton reoched third. Bond struck out, the third strike being missed by Sny- der, who had to throw it to fint, Sutton ahowed a splendid buret of speed and scored on tbo throw. The fourth run was scored in the sixth liming off safe hits by O'Rourko, White ond Sutton, ond a passed boll. In the seventh inning Devlin was batted freely. Bond, Morrill, Schofer, Brown and Wright making a safe hit each, and Schater and Brown scoring eorned runs, thus puttlnganend to tbe run-getting. BOSTON- T. n.lB.ro.i.B.

The championship series between these dubs was closed on the 28th, when the Beds obtained their elghtb victory out ot the dozen games played. Upwards ot tweniy-flve hundred people asaem- bled to aee the contest, which commenced after a fashion moet encouraging to the Beds and their friends, as the heme nine succeeded in getting together three runs In the opening inning, thus gaining a commanding lead, which somewhat flurried tbeir opponents, Tbe Beds started out wltb three safe hits, one out, ond then otwo-boser by Sutton, which sent Wright ond Leonard ocross the plate, Murnan'asacrlflce-blt gave O'Bourke on easy run home, making the third eoraed run, and last In the liming. The LonlsvIUcs were blonked, and tbe second inning yielded nothing tor either club. In the next, however, tbe Ken- tucky boys made mottare more intereeting, and tbe result lees o'certainty, by rolling up just aa many runs aa the Beda bad scored. Latham, who In this inning had neen mjurm by o'Kourhe in eome way striking bis leg while running past first, remained tor onotber turn at the bat I Nichols hovlng been ctdled to toko his place ot ;lrat). and mode his second safe hit. It was o lucky bit for bis elda, aa Hague followed It with a good one, and Devlin made his maiden hit In the gome shortly otterwordo. It was o terrific drive to left centre, wbit:b O'Rourke oould borely toucb wltb his fingere' ends by hord running. It brought In two runs, Shoffer's fint on balls helped Devlin to second, snd Qerbardt'a strike to right field, which Mumsn and O'Bourke ran to, but did not attempt to catch, sent blm home, tle- Ing the game. It was Muman's boll, and this Is the cause ot on error being placed opposite his name. O'Bourke scored the winning run In the sixth Inning, Oerhordt fumbling his bit, which cost two bssee, hestesling tbird and <»mlng home on Sutton's tbird-base hit. Those were oil the runs, the giune closing with Craver running from third to the plate as Johnny Morrill throw Snyder, the laat striker, out to fint. BU8TUN. T. R- IB. ro-a.E. Wright.

HARTFORD. The tenth and probably tbe last game tbis sea- son between tbo Cinclimoti ond Hortford Oiube was ployed on the Dnlon Grounds, Brooklyn, N- T., Aug. 28, tbe result being a decided victory tor tbo Clndnnotls by o score ot 13 to 7, ond nine ot the runs were modb in tbe fourth inning, when the Oindnnotls punished Lorkln for nine base- hits and Ave earned runs. The fact tbat there were a dozon errors on esoh side In tbe match BhowB tbe character ot tbe fleldlng, Maloney ot the Memphis Beds played centre-fleld In place ot Holdsworth, Fergitson not only being unable to play, bnt, from being in bed, be was not on band to look after bis men, and the result was thla defeat. To see the nlntf play in this match was to watch the working of a team without a head. In Monday's game tbe Clndnnatis had almost as good a chance to get in a victory to their credit liB on this occasion, but, wanting a head to their own team, they were not quite equal to tbe task. THIS time, however, they found Lar- kin weak, ond tbey "wentfor blm," in tbe foiutb inning. Pike. Jones ond Gould hit the pitching ss If they hod a mere amateur before them, tbe bolls going to the bat just as tbey wanted them. It was mode plolnly evident thot Torkin was not in condition in this gome. Pike was in bis ele- ment. He bit tbe ball aa If it was one ot tbe old balls ot ten yean ago, with two and a bolt ounoee of rubber In it So did Jones, ond Oould was ociive in bondllng the tiah agolnst Larkln'a weak delivery- But the HartfortlB oould not pun- ish Booth In that way, tbey not earning a run.
