Yesterday afternoon the Boston and Athletic Clubs played the ninth game of the tournament on the Union Grounds, Williamsburg. There was quite @large attendance, although it was not a very Pleasant day to remain standing in the open air for hours, The fleld was cleared promptly on time and the boys went to work with a will, The game Was quite well contested, there being a tie at the end of the seventh inning, each club having scored six runs. From this to the end there was the greatest interest manifested and at times much excitement eres the spectators, The Bostons had the call in the betting, sell- ing in the pools for more than two to one before game was called, though why such odds were given could not be easily explained. ‘The umpire was very impartial in rulings, yet on several occa- sions he was too lenient with the pitchers. This is the third game of the series between the Bostons and Athletics for the first prize of $1,800, and to one of thein it must be awarded. To-day again they play on the Union Grounds, which is the last game of the tournament; after which the distribution of prizes will take place. The following is a summary of the game :— BOSTON.

Prospect Park Fair Grounds To-Day— PoolypSelling Last Night. This, the last day of the Fall trotting meeting at Prospect Park, bids fair to be of the most interest- ing nature. The amusement will begin with a purse and stake for four-year-old colts, in which are entered R. H. Gallaway’s brown stallion Dixon, by Happy Medium; M. M. Judkins’ brown stallion Ben Morrill, by Winthrop Morrill; A. H. Rowe's black stallion Rowe’s Tommy (formerly Thomas Jefferson, Jr.), and ©.

Since the closing of the entries this field and the anticipated character of the race have been the one theme of turimen, and, besides, that portion of the business community acquainted with the owners of Gazelle and Rosalind, Messrs. Joseph Harker and H..H. ith, are much concerned about the result of the meeting of these two feet-footed trotters. In the pools sold last night Gazelle was a hot favorite, but Rosalind had many friends and brought fair prices, with Judge Fullerton selling on even terms with her, and Palmer and Camors fourth and fifth choice; bringing nearly like sums.

Iuterview with the American Min- ister, Thomas H. Nelson. His Views on the Resources and Financial Con- dition of Mexico—The Lerdo Administra- - tion—Railroads Necessity to Mexi- can Prosperity—The Claims and Bio Grande Commissions, The Hon. Thomas H. Nelson, of Indiana, Minister of the United States to the Republic of Mexico, re- cently arrived in this city per steamer Cleopatra, from Vera Cruz, and is stopping at the Hofman House. Mr. Nelson has, during the years of his residence in Mexico, made the present condition and future prospects of that Republic a profound study, and to obtain his ideas concerning them @ HERALD reporter was yesterday despatched to “in- terview” him, Our representative found the tall diplomat in an excellent condition of health, though somewhat fatigued from the rough passage home. Though, as usual, courteous in demeanor, he, with true Western promptitude declined to be “interviewed” on the subject of Mexico, giving as a reason the delicacy of hia position as a foreign representative to that Republic. There were, however, certain general matters upon which he spoke with entire freedom. In referring to his journey home, Mr. Nelson Stated that the railroad from Vera Oruz to the ity of Mexico is nearly completed, there being only a break of five miles remaining. The train upon which he came was the first that had passed the road in ita Present state of completion, and the efforts of tho officials were untiring to make his journey agreeable. The break referred to is between the. small village of Maltrata and La Boca del Monte, which comprises the more dificult portion of the ascent to the table fands, upon which the city ef Mexico is situated. This will be finished by the Sist of December and railway communication be thus opened between the sea coast and capital. In speaking of Mexico Mr. Nelson expressed the highest respect for the honesty and abilities of the late President Juarez, who fully appreciated the services rendered the Republic of Mexico by the United States and was their steadfast friend, and yet, by a. combination of circumstances, matters had arrived at such a pass that benefit accrued to the country from the accession of Lerdo, Mr. Nelson regards that gentleman as one of the profoundest statesmen of the age, an opinion concurred in by the great mass of foreignersin the Republic. Hid elevation to the Presidency brought about a confl- dence throughout the country which had long been wanting, and whioh relieved the government of a- large share of the embarrassment under which. it labored. Lerdo found but $2,000 in the treasury; but on appealing to the merchants and capitalists of the city the amount he asked for ($500,000) was immediately tendered him,.and five millions could: have been as easily obtained. Mr. Nelson ti ‘3 there is no reason why the finances of Mexico should not be placed, and at ag distant day, upon a sound basis, é system of di- rect taxation and a tax upon incomes has never been adopted in Mexico, Indeed, no country under the sun has been so little taxed in any legitimate way for the suppor of the government as that. To. be assured of the permanency and strength of the government the property: holders throughout the Re- publi would entirely Ce pra the adoption of such. system, and the immediate and remote wants of the administration. would, with the other sources. of revenue, be amply supplied. Again, the lax administration of the customs revenue and’ dishonesty of officials have made the merchants of Mexico @ race of smugglers. But once satisfy them. that the duties will impartially exacted and proper!, spplled in such manner that their inter- ests will protected and themselves relieved from the constant exactions made by Ee A ota chiefs, and no effort will be made to avold them. Ostensibly the Zona Libre extended only along the: line of the Kio Grande, but the weakness and needs. of the government, combined with the dishonesty of its servants, practically have established it over the entire country. Sefior Lerdo has set his face diligently toward the consummation of the needed reforms, and as he has the Congress with him the ae results are argued. ir. Nelson speaks in enthusiastic terms of the agricultural resources of Mexico. “It can,’’*he 8, ‘supply the world with sugar, and that of @ quality superior to that of Cuba.” Its coffee is unsurpassed in quality and limitless in the quan- tity which can be raised, while the article of to- bacco, if not equal to that raised in Ouba, closely approximates it. That the néeds of Mexico hereto- fore mostly supplied from Europe, will at no dis- sant day be obtained in the United States, for which will be returned the articles mentioned, sugar coffee and tobacco, Mr. Nelson regards as certain, In commenting upon the development of Mexico, Mr. Ne railroads as the first among her elson placed great needs, This is especially the case, fromthe entire absence of navigable rivers throughout her borders. The incipient step in the supplying of this need is the letion of the railroad im. Vera Cruz to Mexico, which wiil be followed by the speedy construction of others of great importance, some of which are already begun. . ge to speak on such matters as touched his ofict ition it was evident Mr. Nel- son regarded the relations between the two ub- lies as Very satisfactory. The Lerdo administration ig desirous to remove all cause of compiaint on the Rio Grande, and has despatched thither Sefior Don Emilio Jalasco, an able lawyer and statesman, long a resident upon both sides of that river and thor- oughly acquainted with the people, to investigate and report upon the bebe depredations, with a view to putting a stop to them. Mr. Nelson denies the report that Jose Maria Iglesia has been appointed to succeed Mr. Guzman, relieved from the is Commission, and states that no appointment has been made as yet. THE CASE OF LOTTIE STANTON. pT cea lial Bernstein Bailed, Rearrested and Re- leased Again—Warrant Issued for Jones—Witnesses Sent tv the House of Detention—Medical Consultation. The case of Lottie Stanton, living at 18 West Thirteenth street, of which so much has been said for several days past, is occupying a great deal of public attention, insomuch as she is a notorious woman, and as Joseph Dempsey, her alleged assail- ant, is a man who claims to have great political n- fluence, MEDICAL CONSULTATION. As the life of Lottie was considered to be in im- minent danger, Surgeon Wood and Drs. Wynkoop and Steele held a consultation over the matter, and entertain serious fears that she is suffering from concussion of the brain, and there is great danger of an abscess forming on the brain, in which event aeath is likely to ensue. The medical gentlemen are to hold another consultation on Saturday if the hysical condition of Miss Stanton should not be yeh mpsey, who, by order of Coroner Young, has been remanded to the custody of Captain Byrnes, of the Fifteenth precinct, has not yet been oftictally identified by Lottie as the man who assaulted and beat and kicked her in such @ brutal manner, that it was considered unsafe by the pnysicians to con- front him with his victim in her present critical te. aniel Bernstein, one of the alleged assailants, or who, at least, was in Dempsey’s company on that night, was yesterday released on $2,000 bail by the committing magistrate, immediately after which Captain Byrnes, on the warrant of Coroner Young, who has assumed supreme jurisdiction in the case, rested him again. Bernstein, who is a very ylish-looking young man doing business in Broad- way, hear Twenty-seyonth street, was taken to the Coroner's office and Captain Byrnes will be respon- sibie for his appearance when called for or until fresh bail is given for him.
