The occasion was a game of Ijasc hall, between the "Florists" and the "Chump Florists," on the grounds of the Lausdowne Athletic Association, which was won by the "Flo- rists," by a score of 22 to 3. Great rivalry has existed between the clubs for some time, but the Florists demonstrated that they could play ball, as well as cater to the trade of the fash- ionable world in the floral line. The Chumps caused great merriment by ap- pearing in their new uniforms, prepared especially for the occasion by Manager Rice, on which he has applied for a patent. The ieatures of the game were the fine battery work of Nebinger and Lewis, and Miller and Uber, the batting of Lewis and Miller, and the coaching of Long- inett. Both pitchers pitched excellent games, but Nebinger received better sup- port. After the game, both clubs participated in an excellent lunch, prepared by Man- ageis Heron and Rice. After the refresh- ments had been served. Manager Rice on behalf of the Chumps, presented to Cap- tain Crawford of the Florists, in a very witty speech, a beautiful shield, with the following inscription: Champions, 1890.
