...improvement since their last game with this nine, but there were, nevertheless, several weak points. The fielding was generally good. Willard was hardly up to his s andard on first, but at short Dean played a magnificent game, taking ten chances without an error. The base running was very poor. Only eight innings were played. Hawley pitched a very fair game, and the opposing team made but few hits off him. Appended is the score...

Moreover, it would be far more advisable to send agents to Europe to solicit immigration, so as to enable this country to compete with South American states in their inducements to immigrants. The question arises; How can the natural resources, great as they are, be employed, if we restrict a steady flow of men from Europe, who have done so much towards discovering these resources...
