Poor Playing of the Senators Yesterday —Other Games. The Senatorial base ball combination did some discreditable work in Boston yesterday, and lost the game by the score of 12 to3. The | fielding of the tail-enders was execrable, while | the Beaneaters had great luck in hitting the ball hard and often. The batteries were Mad- den and Kelly and O'Day and Clarke. Sulli- van relieved O'Day in the seventh inning, when it was too late to stem the tide, Four runs were made during his regime. Beyond King Kelly's bad work behind the bat the Hubbites played perfect ball, Madden was sufficiently effective to keep the few hits of the visitors well seattered, and his support precluded all ances of defeat. Clarke led the batting Senators, making two singles and a gger. Sweeney and Wise made a two- it each, and Daly, who played left for t, Carney and O’Day hit for a base apiece. eney made 4 errors out of 7 chances. did some pretty fielding, accepting 9 of 10 chances.

Philadelphia won the third straight from | New York by the score of 15 to 6, but seven | innings being played. The Phillies batted like | flends and put up a beautiful game in the field, while the Giants were out of sorts both at the | bat and elsewhere. The batteries were Keefe, Crane and Ewing and Buffinton and Clements. New York made 7 hits and 6 errors and Phila- | delphia 15 hits and 1 error, ‘There were two games in Chicago, of which Anson's men and the Hoosiers each took one. ‘The first was extremely close, the tally being 3 to 2, and was won by Chicago by means of Duffy's base running. Tener and Farrell and Rusie and Myers were the batteries. Chicago made 7 hits and 3 errors and Indianapolis 5 hits and 4errors. The scoreof the second game was 6 to 3in favor of Indianapolis. Gumbert and Darling and Boyle and Buckley were the batteries. The Hoosiers solved Gumbert’s de- livery in the eighth and banged out three runs and the game. Chicago made 6 hits and3 errors and Indianapolis 10 hits and 1 error. Pittsburg played all around Cleveland, and by scoring 3runsin the ninth won the game by the score of 5 to 4. The batteries were Galvin and Miller and Bakely and Zimmer. Each team made 12 hits, Cleveland making 3 errors and Pittsburg 2 errors. ASSOCIATION GAMES, At Philadelphia—Cincinnati, 6; Athletics, 5.

The Merritt wreck- ing company’s people were sanguine of success upon their arrival here, and the exact location upon which the steamer is now at work is be- Gent's Furnishings, &c., &c. tremendous bar. gains can be ected by ladies visiting thi: sale.

The supposition that the De Braak, a British sloop-of-war, went down with millions in gold and silver have been verified by the records of the British admiralty. The money and seventy tons of copper were the proceeds of the cap- ture of two Spanish treasure ships bound from Central America to Spain. Observers of the operations of the Merritt wreckers have no- ticed large objects hoisted aboard their vessel within the past few days, and there is appar- ently great excitement on board. The crew of the Tuckahoe since Sunday has been working ina singularly energetic and excited manner, impressing the observers with the belief that ‘EW NATH THEATER.

Moreover no one is allowed to board the vessel and those men who have approached within hailing dis- tunce have been peremptorily warned off.
