Tho aonouncement was received with character. President Blanchard, in his sble manner, addressed the Association on the rela- tion of secret societies to the cause of Christ, and presented = resolution recommending s dis- cussion of the question in the Advance, which waslost. A resolution was passed indorsing the Adrance, and recommending it to all the fam- ilies in the Association.

Hitcheock, snd Joseph Haven. Dr. Hatton made an sddress upon the claims of the A. THE FREEDMES. o was followed by the Rev. Barnzbas Root, & nalive of Africa, Wwho addressed the meeting ‘upon the condition of the freedmen of the South. Mr. Root eaid that many of the froedmen wero sunken lower thau native Africans, becsuse slavery had crushed out their manhood. Ho Fave a touching account of & murder by s Ku- Klux mob of a missionary to the freedmen, This in Christisn Awmeiica., DBut no missionary hed been murdered in Africa. Ho was going back lo Africe, mot ms & misgionary. He was going Lome to preach the Gospol. An earnest appeal mas made that the Gospel might be given to bis countrymen in {ho South. He went South one year ago thinlk- ing that his peoplo needed echools more than churches, but when he heard the students at Fisk and other Colleges read the Latin and Greek classics, and saw how soon they liad Jearned theee, and saw the moral degradation, he felt that the great need was of the Gospel. They had cducated rascals from the lowesc officials to Governors. Many of the peo‘:le pro- ferred to vote for colored mén because, knowing less, they would be content to steal leus. The great need was men of Clristian principle. Mr. Root's address was chaste and eloguent, and elicited much spplause. Deacon C. I Gates, who has visited the South, followed in an eloquent address. - Reports from the churches showed increased prosperity. Mauy interesting rovivals were ro- ported. A resolution was passed recommending the use of only unfermenied wino at the com- munion. In the ovening, Prof. H. L. Boltwood:resd an ablo essay on PIEPARATOY SCHOOLS. The Congregational ciergy of New Nngland wore particluarly active in founding, but they did fnot commit the mistako which thoey often made at the West in leaving the collego entirely without feeders. Colleges are moro numerons than preparators schools. Illinois had moro chartered colleges than all New En- gland, but hardly s preparatorv school outside of oud applause. l MOME XISSIONS, Dr. Dickson, one of the Secretaries of Home Eoaid, spoko on the eubject of lome missions, olluding to tho practi- cal. cloquent mabner in which members of the Assembly hod responded in the morning, when the debt of the Board was sunounced. The prand growth of the Church in tho last 160 years was dilated on, the speak- ¢r .relating many interesting facts con- nected w1 this progress. In 1714 geven ‘men on the Eastern Shore of Maryland sent 2cross to London for a minister. Look at the Church to-day, and some 1des of its growth can be had. The work of miseionaries in Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Indian Territory, and other plsces'was dwelt upon, and the faithful, earnest oo-operation of the women in the labor of the Church wes highiy commended. He gpoke stropgly in favor of prompt payment to all min- the colleges themselves. The Church must depend upon the classical coliegea for ita supply of educated mimsters. The public high-sckools must bo controlled largely by secular influences. and magnify material education. Few of these fit pupils for college at all. For the eake of thorough education alone, we should recogmize thst there is meed of ood p(epmkofi schools; for the sako of the Ehurch we should strive to make Chnstian in- fluences impress the pfl{ul in his first zeal for the higher cducation. It is false economy to build up a college with the funds which would maintan ten preparatory schools. It is bad economy to put a first-class man ina college or theological ~seminary to train four or firp pupils. The remainder of the evening was dovoted to the discassions of _ PARIST WORKS AND SUNDAY-SCHOOLS. This being Decoration-Day & comumittea of the jon attended the exercises. The Revs. G. Pierce made stirring and ‘Both of the gentlemen wera in the army during the late War. An original poom was resd, and choice vocal and martial music added to the interost of the occasion. A Iarge assembly was present, and_the ceromionies of docorating the graves were very impressive. e — THE EPISCOPALIANS. Wasmixorox, D.

Second Game Between the White Stockings and Hartfords. The Former are Successful by 14 to 8. Exciting Games at jthe East Yesterday. Programme of the Shooting-Tourna- ment at Dexter Park. The Gun Club. BASE BALL. WHITE STOCKINGS V8. HARTFORDS. The Whito Stockings and Hartfords played the socond game of their series yesterday aftarnoon, on the ball grounds at the corner of Btate and Twonty-third streets, before an audience of about 3,000 peopls. Had the weather not been g0 intensoly bot, the attendance would andoubt- edly have been much larger, but it isnot at ali probsble that a better game would have been played, or that the enjoyment of the epoctators would have been greater, had the atmospheric conditions bsen more favorablo. The gamo de- veloped immense batting strength on tho part of both pines, and tho fielding was, as & whole, more than ordinarily ekillful from beginniog to ond. It is gratifying to announce that the home club took a commanding lead in both depart- ments of play—a fact which will redound to its credit in no small degree when it is considered that the opposing nine ranks among the best, baving won its title to the position in mauy Lard-fought contest since the opening of the season. A reference to the score will show that Cuthbert, Meyerle, Poters, Hines, Glenn, and Zettloin filled their soveral places with- out an error. The mistakes that the others committed were harmful in only a very few instances, and, except in the case of Malone, were moro than atoned for by eplendid hits. It is somewhat singular that Malone did not earn @ baso in the game, as he is & vory scicntific batter, and good for & bard bt to stop almost any time; but it is only another exemplification of the fact that men bave their “off days” at Dbase ball as well 88 at any other occupation. Dovlin, who could do litfle or nothing with Fisher's peculiar delivery in tbo first game, found no difficulty whatever in picking out a safo placo for the ball every time he came to the bat but ono, and Meyerle was almost as good. Peters astonished himself and everybody else with two fine hits just when they wera wanted most, they bemng the first he has mado in a championship game since joining tho nine. The othor players batted up_to their aversge. The Hartford batting-score abounds in double- base hits, and even a three and a four-base hit can be picked out in it. Their floldinfiemm, though comparatively few, were generally fatil, a8 is shown by the relative nnmber of runa earped. Mr. N. E. Young, of the White Stockings, umpired the game, Many of his decisions wore close, and gave evident dissatisfaction to_the visiting club, but, on the wholo, he was strict and impartial. 2 - The game commencod a¢ the usual hour. The Whites, for a wonder, won the toss, and sent their opponents to bat. ‘The first striker went out on o fiy, and then a brief scason of heavy Datting ensued—Hastings and Mills earning sin- gle boses, Pike two bases, and Boyd thres bascs, tho latter by a tremendous hit over tho jeft fielder's head. This sort of striking brought home four men, three of the runs boing well earned. Tho Whites, in their half of the in- ning, got in twornus, oneof which was earned, on safa hits by Cuthbert, Force, and Devlin. Theonly fielding error was a passed ball by Hastings. In the second inning the visitors were quickly dis- posed of 88 fastas they came to bat, Mererle, Hines, and Peters doing the business by fine ni- catching, Malone mado a sad maff of a high- foul fly, but fortunately it did not count against his side. Hines started tho ball for the home club by making a two-base hit of the fair-foul order.. The two succeding strikers wero fived, and then Cuthbert and Force got in safe hits, bringig in an esrned run, ‘The Hartfords followed suit in the third _innning, Hastings essaying the fair-foul hit with great muccess, two buses being the rosult. Pike bronght him home with a long hit to centre:for two bases, but was subsequently gut out himself for running on 2 fiy before the all was c.nn%hl—fl decieion which displeased him mightily, but which was nono the less proper for all fhat. 'The Whites were promptly blanlked, only thres men sppearing at tho plate. In the fourth inning neitber side ecored, there being no safc hits, thougn Dovlin leta man reach first on an error, and Shaffer and Barlow both follow- ed his example. In the fifth inning the Hart~ fords were blanked again, notwithstanding an error on the part of Force. The feature of the fielding was & 1;:;; ranning catch by Cuthbert, which was greeted with deafening applauze. The Whites then proceeded to make two_runs, and tio the gamo—a foat that would not have been accomplished but for a muff of Boyd's. The batting was good, consisting of & two-base hit by Meyerlo and & baso bit by Devlin, and the base running was excellent, Dovlin helping to get onoe of the runs in by allowing himseif to be caught off of bis base. During the throw- that followed & msn ran home from ing third, and in fhe sttempt that was made to cut him off Devlin saved himself. The sixth inning was faultlesaly field- od, and, there being no batting worth particu- larizing, blanks were the natural result. In the seventh inuing the Hartfords failed to got & man on first base, and were treated to their fifth whitewash. The Whites, on the ether hand, scored thres runs, only ome of which was earned. Mills and Boyd wore rosponsible for the others. Meyerle and Devlin were the safe hit- ters, tho latter eending a liver to centre for two basce. Barlow assisted in putting the sido ou by executing omo of the finest _ runoing catches that was over made on a ball field. The fact was recog- nized by uproarious domonatrations of approval ana delight, which shows that Chicago base-ball audiences are entirely impartial when it would be manifestly hoggish to be otherwize. In the eighth inning the Hartfords made and earned two runs in an unusual way. Barney started off with a baso Jhit, and 8haffer followed bim with a hit to right, which under ordinary circum- stances would not have yielded more than two Dases. The ball got lost under the fence, how- ever, and ng there Wwas no apparent error on the part of the fielder the striker must bo crodited with a home run. The succeeding threo strikers fell victims to fielding accuracy. In their half of the inning, the Whites ecored four runs, and won the game bevond o perad- venture. 'Though they made five successive baso hits, none of the runs were earned, Boyd Veing tho responsible person. In the last in- ning, the Hartfords secured an esined run on base and two-base hits, by Pike ard Fisher re- upectively. The Whites wound up the game i handsome style§ by making threc safe hits and two runs, ono of which was earned. 1t should bave been stated before that the ball with which ths gamo was played was_somewhat livelier than tho ordinavy regulation ball. Theo Hartfords porsisted in having it used, 8s it would give their hoavy hitters & better oppor- tupity to display their atrength tban they would othermiss got. Tho rosult rather satonished them, however. The gamo_all through was a more exciting one thau could bave been playod ‘with a less lively ball. Following is ‘v THE SCORE of the gamo: Tanings— Whites.

PEILADELPHIAS. Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune. Bostox, May 30.—Noarly 4,000 spectators wit- nessed the game this afternoon between the Bostops and Philadclphiss. The contest was decidedly the most interesting and most closely ~contested which has ~ been seen in Boston this season. The fact that on Friday the home club were able to score eight runs, while the visiting nine was unable to send a man over the home-plate, caused many intelli- gent minds to hold the opinion that & similar gamo waa to be played, and would, therefore, be void of interest. This was by no means the cass, but, on tho contrary, there was a scrious question whether the errors of the Bostons and the good batting of the Quakers ‘would not raverse the verdict of Friday. Gamo was called at fivo minutos past 3 o'clock, with the Philadelphias at the bat. Eggler hit safo. Holds- worth out on s fly to Leonard. Fulmer hit a hot one to George, who failed to handle it. Craver ont on fly to George. York took first on Leonard's error. Radeliffe made a clean hit, and two unearned runs were scored, Mack mak- ing third out by George to O'Rourke. The Bostons wers unable to do anything for the first five innings, 80 perfect was the felding of their opponents, Spalding, Hall, and Schafor being the only men getting base bits. With theso exceptions they retired in striking order, the “Fillies” not making » fielding error. In the second, third, and fourth _the visitors were unable to score, though Hicks and Fulmer hit safe, and O’Rourko gave York first on an error, for which thero was no excuse, savo that of over-confidence. A ball was bit shore to him, which he took too much_ time over, sud dropped; & fly from York to Schafer was dropped— a beautiful and unmistakable muff. In the fifth they got oue man home. Radcliffe fouled out to White. Dlack hit safe and stole second, went to third on White's wild throw to cut him of, and came home on Hicks’ safe hit, Cummings and Eggler going out. The Bostons, in the sixth, scored two, George hitting for two bases sud_ going to third by Whito's eafe bit. Spald- ing took first on & misjudged fiy by Radcliffe, who, when be got the ball, made a wila throw to first, bringing home George. - Bchafer started at for gozond, but Hicks threw to Craver, who put him out, White in the meantime coming home. Bchafer and McVey were also out. First euchre for the visitors, From this out there were uo runos made by the Philadelphias, as they woro able to got but one safe hit, that by Mack in the sixth. McVey camae behind the bat and White went to right feld. The scoro now stood 3 to 2 sgainst the home club. Leonard went _to bat, but was retired at first by Craver and Mack. O’Rourke went out on » foulfly to Hicks; Harry hit safe; Hall followed with & beauty, and Shafer struck 8 long fly to right field which yielded him two bases and sent Harry and Haliin. George out by s fiy to York. The gamo was now won by .one run for the Bostons, provided their opponeuts conld be kept from scoring. This was done by a magnificent runming oaf by White in the right field from York's bnté Craver having taken first on Loeonard's error. I may be safely said that Schafer's two base-hit and White's wonderful catch eaved the game for the Bostons. The Bostons won the game by batting, Schafer leading. The Philadelphias playod an excellent fielding game, Craver slone putting out five men, and sssisting eix times, and not an error. The result at the eighth in- ning wos x8 follows: Bostons, 4; Philadel- phias, 3. MUTUALS ¥S. ATLANTICS. Special Dispatch to The Chicano Tribune. NEWw Yomg, May 80.—Fully 8,000 people wit- nessed the first championship game between tho Autuals of this city and Atiantics of Brooklyn, on the Union grounds to-day. The game was, without doubt, the best played and most excit- ing over seen’ on tho Union gromnds. DBoth nines played avery fine fielding game, but the bat- ting, owing to the effectivencss of their respectivo itchers, was very weal, three first-base hits ing the sum total of tho nine inpings. In the first inning the Atlantics were easily disposed of, but the Mutuals were allowed to scora two 1uns by three first-base hits, assisted by errors of Farrow and West. These runs, however, wero all that the Mutuals were able to obtain in the game, and as the Atlantics were unsbio to score, the gamo ended in favor of the Mutuals by a score of 2 to 0.
