The Amulet board and a lew special friends had a set-up at the St. James Saturday night. On the 26th and 27th inst, examinations for admission to the University will be held at the Grand Pacific in Chicago, and at the office of the superintendent of public schools in St. Louis. The University nine have gone to Port Huron where they play to-day. Saturday afternoon the teams meet again on the Kccreation Park grounds, Detroit, for a third game. Quite a number are goiog down f rom liere to witness the Saturday game. AU of the State High Schools whtcfa were allowed to send their graduates to tlie University on diploma last year, have so maintained their standard that they are retained on the list this year. Four ncw schools are added, viz. Port Hurón, Charlotte, Adrián, and Soinerville. The sophomore class supper, for some reason did not take place, hut the ladies of the class got np a spread last week by themselves at the home of Miss Carrie Bell, and a right good time they had of it. Miss Bendit, of Saginaw, read a very amusing prophecy of the class. After the ball game of Saturdav when it was found the Port Huron club would remain uutil the 10:30 train, it was rietermiued to give them a banquet at the St. James. Although it had to be gotten up in such a short time Landlord Stone did himself credit in thé repast as the two elubs and their invited frieuds who sampled it could testify to. After satisfying the inner man, the following toasts were called for by Captain Packard : "Our Guests," J. C. Moor: ; " Base-ball," J. E. Beal; " The Future of Baseball," Ralph Metcalf; "The Defeat," W. J. Abbott. Songs and a few impromptu responsos from the guests concluded the jolly supper, and the Port Huron men, who were very genial and gentlemanly f ellows, were escorted to the train. TJNIVERSITIES VS. POKT HUKONS. The prettiest game of ball seen in the city for a long time was played Saturday afternoon on the Fair grounds between the University nine and the Port Hurons. Owing to the fame of the latter club the home nine hardly expected to win a victory from them, so they were satisfied at holding them down so well. Notwithstanding the frequent rains, the grounds were in good condition and the fielding on both sides was sharp, tlie Umversities especially effecting three brilliant plays at critical times. One was a single-hand catch by Blackburn, another a pick-up of a low liner by Allmendinger and the doublé play of Miller who caught a fly in the centre field and made a perfect throw to the home-plate in time to save a run. The terrilic speed of Mountjoy prevented the home club from making more than a single base-hit, and while Packard1 was partially disabled by a sore tliumb, only seven hits were made off from him. Mountjoy has developed such pitching qualities that hf. has had offers from the Philadelphia and Detroit League clubs. Up to the fourth inning both sides had been retired with blanks when Pirie, having been given a base on balls, scored with the aid of a passed ball. The game was of great interest throughour, and the score was such a good one we will publish it : THE SCOKE. PORT HUBON. K. 1 B. P, O, A. E.

One of our county country editors who evidently has neverseen, or at least never tried, what he calis a " trycycle," gets off the following : " The trycycle has come, and a. company is starting the manufacture in Detroit. They supercede the bycycle as easily as the buggy superseded the old-fashioned sulky and gig." When a machine weighing over a hundred pounds and taking three tracks instead of one, supercedes the bicycle, weighing only about forty-five pounds and able to run in a foot-path, the editor writing on something he knows nothing about will have run the measly littleYpsilanti Sentinel so f ar out of the country that not even one of hls " trycycles" could trundle it back in flve years.
