It was ladies’ day, and as o matter of ‘course there was a fine crowd in attendance. It is funoy how the ladies draw, but that has béen the case from the beginning of the ‘world, ‘Wherever you find fair women you'll find brave men. And it is getting 1o be quite the fad now for the beaux to take their best girls out Lo seo tho game—especially on ladies’ days. But to revert to the game. 1t was one of those close and exciting kind that keeps one in a constant state of feverish anxiety—uncertain until Black, the last man at the bat, succumbed to the treachery of Nichols’ puzzling curves. And what a game the Kid did pitch—a lar old whippoorwill. ut let us sae how it all happened. Cooney, the first man, sent the ballon a ‘beautiful arch out to Genins, and returned to the bench. Then Willis made a hit, but was thrown out at second by Biack, who muffed Straus: fly but recovered the ball in time to ex- tinguised Tit. Crooks got, his base on balls, but was left, Walsh being thrown out at first. 1t was one, two, three for the visitors, the first two, Cline and Glenn, striking out, and Powell dying at first, In the second Andrews was retired at first. Nagle followed with a hit, but was doubled up with Canavan, who went out on a fly to old George Washington Bradley, who also retired Nagle at first, catching him off the base. Again it was one, two, three for the Corn Huskers. Omaha made her first run in the third, and the crowd shouted merrily. Nichols reached first on Powell’s fumble of his hot liner. Willis fouled out to first, and Strauss wade his base on an error by Brosnan. Crooks fled out to second, but on ‘Walsh's hit the Kid scampered home. An- drews wafted. And again it was one, two, three for Sioux City, the Omaha twirler fauning two of them. Clever work that, everybody said. In the next inning Nagle led off with his second safe hit, only to be forced out on Can- avan’s hit to Brosnan, Tommy would have made iv all right had he not sprained his ankle running to first, and Captain Powell retused to allow even Andrews to run for :Il]m, which was very little in Captain Pow- Canavan stole second, and third, too, the crowd thought, but Doescher said nay, and Jimmy came moodily Crotty’'s tarow Was t0o quick and too accurate for him. Nichols followed up this misfortune witha rattling - two-bagger, but, was left, Cooney flying out to Brosnan, *“That's where we should have scored!” cried Wandell, the bigeest baso ball crank in the world, and everybody coincided with him. But it was not to be. Then to make matters more aggravating still, the wily Corn Huskers came in and tied the score and went us one better. The anthropomorfic Cline opened up with safe fungo to right, aud Eddie Glenn, after ving two strikes called on him, laced her out for a couple of sacks, and the missing link came home. Powell’'s grounder was eaton raw by the supple Mr. Andrews, but old reliable Tom Nagle missed Brosnan’s third strike, and Glenn slid across the rub- gel' Genms retired on Nichols’ throw to rst. But the Sioux had two runs and Omaha ouly one, and the crowd was sore. illis led off in the fifth with his second safe hit, only to be forced out on Strauss’ drive to Bradley. ‘I'hat was bad, for what looked like a run resulted in a goose egg, Crooks and Walsh being quietly retired. ‘Ihe visitors’ half was unproductive also, Crooks making a great one-hand catch of a hot Liner off Crotty’s bat. He was boistercusly applauded. The White Sox tied the score amidst im- mense enthusiasm in the sixth, Brosnan muffed Andrews’ fly, but he was forced out at second on Nagle's grounder to Brosnan. Then Canavan came along and lined out a three-sacker, scnding Tom across the rubber with the tying run. This ended the run getting until the last inning, when Kid Nichols smote the first ball pitched fair and square in the kisser, sending it sailing out and over the fenco of the little corral in the left field corner, for a home run. Then the great crowd stood up, and while some of them wade the welkin ring, others showered the proud and valiant Kid with silver Jdollars. It was a great drivo and won the game, The score follow: OMAILA. > Cooney, b, .. Willis, cf. Strauss, rf.

Aunother special attraction will be the fact that Bur- dick, an old Omaha pitcher, will be in the box for Sioux City.

YESTERDAY GIVEN TOINSPECTION An Informad Mop Held at the Post Last Evéning — Olose of the O'Neill " Rennion—Other Nebpaskn News. Cawp CROOK, (via Fort Robinson), August 22.—Special Corrospondence of Tig Bre.]— A bright, cold morning ushered in the second day of the ercat encampment. The soldiers and officers looked refreshed aftor a night's sieep, and early bestirred themselves for the battalion drill which had been out- lined as the first exerciso of tiio day. At7o'clock the mist in the surrounding valleys had not boen dispelled by the morn- ing sun, but in response to the calls, the forces appearcd on the main ground of the camp. Company after company appeared and gradually merged itself into the bat- talion to which it belonged, until six bat- talions were formed hetween the canvas walls on eithor side, Theso battalions were commanded as follows: The Second by Major Butler; Seventh, Colonol Merriam; Bighth, Major Kellogg; Sixtsenth, Major Parie; Soventeenth, Colonel Mizner; Twenty-first, Colonel Poland. As each of these battalions formed into line thoy prosented a most imposing appear- ance. They did not look like soidiers ina Fourth of July procession, but rether an array of sun-bronzed veterans, 2 The ground was soft, uneven and slippery. It had not been sodded and rolled. It was traversed s nature had left it, and sorely tried many of the men. The battalion of cavalry was under the command of Major Randlett. This formed in the northwest corner of the camp, and after 8 number of mancevres, gailoped away toward the distant hills, where their move- ments were watched with interest. In the western end of the camp the hght artillery was under the command of Major Kinzie. Horses and men worked oxcellently together, and for nearly two hours divided the attention of the spectators with that of the other arms of the service. The infantry regiments emulated the ex- ample of the cavalry and marched under va- rious orders out of the camp, along the streams aund flually up to the adjacent buttes, which, like dismantled castles on the Rhine, stood silent and solemn above them. The movements were watched by General Brook and staff, and when 9 o'clock arrived were discontinucd. Tho orders, as they now stand, comprise two nours' drill in the morning, from 7 to 9, and two hours drill from 8to 5 p. m. This afternoon, however, owing to the intense heat, the drill consumed but one hour, from 4t05p. m. To-morrow, and until further notice, four hours daily will bp consumed these battalion drills. Later brigude drills will command attention and ; these will be followed by manceuvres in the surrounding country which ure expected to comprise many novel features. i While the batfallion drill was in progress there was another interesting feature wit- nessed in the litter drill, which was taken part in by the surgeons and _the members of the hospital corps. , The soldiers and officers composing this corps. us sppointed by Gon- eral Brook, under the suggestion of Major Dallas Bach, modical director, department of the Platte, are as follow. Ninth cavalry aad light_ battery D, Fifth artillery—irst Lieutenant William = N, Suter, assistant . surgeon; Lospital steward, Thomas Hill. wirst brigade, Seventh infantry—Captain Louis Brechemit, ussistant surgeon ; hospital steward, Patricle Boland.

Finlay, acting assistant sur- geon; hospital surgeon, Jacob Martin, The hospital at-Fort Robinson has been designated as the hospital for the camp. The drill took place in the evemng be- tween the tents of the Second and Seventh infantry regiments. It was of a preliminary nature. It was directed by Captain Breche- min, of the Seventh infantry, assistant surgeon, and supervised by Major Bache, the departmental medical inspector. The idea of the director was to see how far tho hospi- tal service had been advanced. The manual of the corps had not yet, Major Bache said, been determined upon. The practice was in such a_condition as to allow of certain lati- tude, which later, under a more thoroughly understood system, would disuppear. There were several maunals relating to the caring of the wounded on the fleld of battle, many of which were used to a greater or less ex- tent by the surgeons of the army. Within a year, Major Bache said he thought, though 1t was not yet & fixed fact, that a board of ofticers would be appointed to de- termine upon » manual or system of hand- ling and caring for wounded men on the field and in the office. "The litter drill to-day included two ambu- lances, several litters and twenty-one pri- vates of the hospital corps. This last men- tioned number is less than is allowed by law, but a_greater number could not bo obtained, because of the men who were ab- sent attending the hospitals of the several commands in their respective posts. As it was, soveral men were detailod to lio upon the field as wounded. ‘Chey were then sent for by four men with litters, Tach of these four men has @ duty to perform, which will be detailed later, They are insiructed how to handle the litter and the patieat, whother with a shattered limb, hand, body or head wound, s0 8 to occasion the sufferer the least pain in conveying hm to the ambu- lance and finally the hospital. morrow another interesting exercise is expected in this department, An Inspection of Troops, Fort Rosixsoy, Neb., August 22.—[Spe- clal Telogram to Tz Ber.|—This morning the troops iudulged in two hours of battalion drill, from which many of them returned fatigned.
