The Read- ing Rallroud Company and the Reading Coal and Iron Company are persistent in their policy to throw as much coal from the Bebuylkiil region Into the market as{s procticable.

Thenrtof Clara Morris bas gained since her last visit to Chicago. Wiss Afulton is the great- est of hercreations. The pathos antl Indcscrit- bie charm of her acting were attested last night by tears. We are readier than the veople of New York to yield praise to her, because we hava seen the same part in the keeping of other actresses. ‘The same part, and how different! They had her words aud her opportuuities, They had atulen from her not merely the children of the play, but the more precious children of her brain, But they could not take from her tho Jambent Imagination and te soul of fire which make hier real. Ciara Morris fecls—that is nature; she conquera feeling—that fs art. In both respects she {8 supreme, No one who sees her can rematn aly her without the speil of ber influence.

The last act olso is different, transplring at the house of Jr. Oaburne in England. The eccentric tloctor and hia ainfable slater are new.

Afaurice, let iny litde girl know me as) her mother,’” crowns the drama. To this is added the deuth, which gives Miss Morris: opportunity for the reise of her painful art of minlature-painting, but does not increase the coherence of the drama. “Misa Malton,” {t may be observed at once, 16 everywhere a clearer and n more whulcsome and a hetter written play thin “East Lynne; and it [ easy to belleve thet the latter story and nay owe thelr origin to an older French dratna, rom whieh the present one hus descended iu Jeglimate line.

BASE-BALL. é LOCISVILLZ'S TRIUMPIAL MARCH, AND CICA GO'S MISERANLE RETROGNESHION, To fully appreciate what we arc, we inuetlook back and see what we have been. The firet eight games of the Loutavitie-Chicago series of 6, compared with the first eight of this year's tell a mournful tale of decadence, To appreciate the figures fully, it should be remem- bered that the ball use this year fs much tore favorable for bard hitting than last year's. The record shows that Chicago made 94 runsio elght games last year, ood only 33 this year. ‘The base bite for Jast year were 123, and for this year, 74. Here's a curious thing, surely; witha better ball and the same pitcher, the Club falls off nearly one-half in Its batting and two-thirds In its run-ecttleg. Tho nine whiclr has thus. dropped so as to almost break its usck bas six men, or two-thirds, of the old team, viz.: Mce Vey, Glenn, Spaldtpg. Anson, Peters. and Hines, Neither of the new men—Hallinan, Eggler, and Brattley—is equal to Barnes or White a4 a batter, but all aro better than Biclaskt, There is no chance to lay the falling-off on the changes In men—they won't ac- count for it. Still, there stands the record, adrop tov luge to be explained, and showlnye clearly the character of the batting dune by the Chicagos of 1877, Qne more Mlustration: Last year Louistille nade sixty-seven bite, and were held down to twenty-four runs off them; this year they have made eiglity-nine hits,—an in- crease of about aquarter,—but the pecullar teld- Ing of the White Stockings has given thet fitt: rune, or more than tluuble last year. Samimed up, then, the record shows that the Chicazos are less thatt half aa vod batters, tess thau one- third as geod rutgetters, and twice ns bad fielders ns they were in 1870, ‘The Turaune doesn't wk why this is; tt has no {lea of being flouted with letters explaining all about t, and no two assigning the same rea- gun, If any member of the nine will explain the matter us fie secs [t, he can have a hearing. The latest exploit of the Chicago Club of 1877 fn connection with the Louisville Club was a wame played in the rain yeaterduy afternoon, In the frst inning Peters missed an easy play, which would, if he und made It, have retired the Loulavilics fora blank, Then the visitors bat~ ted very prettily, and got fn fone rins, two mis- plays by McVey assisting, Tso more scores were giten by Halhoun's curfously bad mul of a fy. Thate made six runs and settled the gate. It would be a waste of space to describe the rest of tho play. The ball was slippery, the ground wet, and the error-list consequently large. None of these things are, however, ex- enous for the lazy, aliiftless, careless, Inefficient, and slirking gare which wome of the Chicazos played yesterday. The crowd will stand any- thing except slirking; when that begins, they stop cuming. Following fs Tun_acone. TAL Rin] PY AYE faa aie iil #'0 0 emtcano, Maliinan, Ff. MeVey, ‘c zo oe Anxon, Lb.
