Mr. Henry BrowD, ol Kufaula, came up on the same train that they left on, and ns he was an old Americns boy, they Induced him to go witli them. They were met at Oglethorpe by a dele gation of the Flint Club and taken care of. As soon as possible the game was called and the work be gan. We are told that the boys played as badly as they did with the Albany oink, and the conse quence was that they were beaten. A large crowd witnessed the game, largely composed of thejadies of the place, who showered bouquets on our club, wbioli were highly ap preciated. As the Montezuma club hail beaten the Oglethorpe hoys badly only a few^ days before, everybody supposed our boys would be badly oleaned up.

Hawkins went behind the bat for our boys, and allowed his ability to take the balls from the bat in neat and artistic stylo, while Hare pitched. They com pletely demoralized the Artesian olub by their flue playing and heavy batting, and made but few errors. Jordan, on first base, cover ed himsell with glory, and Cain and Davis in the field never let a ball drop anil did some fine throw ing. Brown dill somo good batting, but owing to lameness could not run bases as in olden times. The soore ‘was twelve to nineteen in favor of our hoys.

Willis Hawkins was captaiu of the nine in the absence of Storey. The Flint club tendered the boys a letter of congratulation for beat ing the Artesian club. Both Oglethorpe and Montezu ma entertained the boys well. They speak in the highest terms of their treatment and hope to suou lie able to return the favor. Personal Paragraphs. The latest—Broom Pins.
