Match Game--The Upper and Lower Town Base Ball Clubs had a match game on Monday evening last, in which the Upper Town Club came out ahead, having fifty-one tallies, while the Lower Town Club had twenty-five.

Note: Upper and Lower Town are neighborhoods of St. Paul (present day downtown). Lower Town is farther down the Mississippi River and was the site of the major steamboat landing and a warehouse district. Upper Town was further up the River and on a slight rise of ground in relation to Lower Town.
