the ground, the pitcher, basemen, and fielders, all were

playing was made unpleasant by this disposition of the

men.  After the game, they returned to the Barlow House

for dinner.  After dinner, the champagne began to

were drank:

-
* By T. F. Miner, President, on behalf of the Pioneer
+
-
B.B. Club.  "The Clackamas Base Ball Club of Oregon
+
-
City, second in the field, by date of organization, may
+
-
the day soon come when it will be first by right of
+
-
championship."
+
-
* Responded to by J. L. Barlow, President of the Clackamas
+
-
B.B. Club.  "The Pioneer Base Ball Club of Portland,
+
-
the champion club of Oregon, may they wear their
+
-
laurels until fairly won from them."
+
-
* Offered by Steel.  "America's sons of the Base Ball
+
-
fraternity, who for four years dropped the ''bat and ball''
+
-
to carry the <i>musket and ball</i> until they made the rebels
+
-
bawl for quarter."
+
-
*Offered by ----, "<i>The Ladies</i> -- We admire them for
+
-
their beauty, appreciate them for their intelligence,
+
-
adore them for their virtue and love them because we
+
-
cannot help ourselves."
+
-
*Offered by ----, "The Ladies present from Portland."
+
-
*Reponded to by ----, "The Ladies of Oregon City."
+
-
 
+
-
Afterward facetious remarks and speeches were in order
+
-
and many availed themselves of this opportunity of>
+
-
immortalization.  We note the following:
+
-
 
+
-
Conundrum--by Steel--Why are the members of the
+
-
Clackamas Base Ball Club like the people of Rome?  Because
+
-
they have a Pope among them.
+
-
 
+
-
The Pioneers returned to this city on the ''Senator'', much
+
-
pleased with the courtesy and kindly feeling manifested
+
-
by the Clackamas Base Ball Club.  This is the first match
+
-
game ever played in the State and it is a splendid beginning.
+
-
Much applause is due the Oregon City boys.  Their
+
-
club has been organized but a short time, and they have
+
-
so well improved their time that we predict that but a
+
-
short time will pass before they wear the laurels.  After
+
-
the game they offered the winners the ball, which was
+
-
very properly refused, as the game was a friendly one
+
-
and not for blood.  The following is the scorer's report:
