— Mr. Robert Crawford, the genial agent of the Hudson’s 
Ray Company at Red Rock, Nepigon, Lake Superior, has 
been transferred to Fort Chinis, Ungava Bay.. Mr. 
Crawford is well known to many anglers who have visited 
the Nepigon, and all the conveniences to be found there for 
the enjoyment of sport have been introduced by him. We 
trust that his successor (whose name we have not heard) 
will take good enre of the tents, canoes, and so forth, and 
have them available to visitors. Mr. Crawford was in To- 
ronto lust week.

Virginia — Leesburg, June 17th, 1875. — I weighed to-day 
the heaviest lmss I ever saw from the Potomac. I have 
heard of larger, but never saw one. It weighed over five 
and a quarter pounds eight hours after Mr. Alexander 
Breckinridge cnuglit him near “Red Rocks,” on the 1 olo- 
mac. Anglers have had better luck lately than heretofore, 
and there are better prospects for success in that lino. 
Major Ferguson, of Maryland, picked up twenty with the

000 pounds, halibut 490,000 pounds. Mackerel have been 
quite scarce of late, and the vessels bring in very light tares- 
About 1,000 barrels have arrived the past week. 1 he fleet 
that have been tending the New York market are arriving 
home, and will prosecute the business off this shore, as the 
mackerel are fast working this way.

BASE BALI. — PROFESSIONAL GAMES. 
— A noteworthy contest took place in Chicago on June 
19th on the occasion of the first game this season between 
the Hartford and Chicago nines, the game being so finely 
played on both sides that neither party could score a run 
until the eleventh innings, and then the Chicagos managed 
to obtain a single, and this run decided the contest, as the 
White Stockings put out the Ilarl fords in eleven innings 
without their scoring a run. This is an unprecedented 
score, and the first time in the annals of the professional 
class of contests that two nines have played through nine 
innings without scoring a run. The Harlfords had just 
left. Bostou aftor a whipping at the hands of tho Reds by a 
“Chicago" game of 4 to 0, and this doublo defeat was quite 
a dampener to them, as it was unexpected. The Bostons, 
on the same day of tho Chicago victory over the Harlfords, 
captured the new nine of tho Athletics by a score of 11 to 6.

St. George’s vs. Young America, ok Philadelphia. 
-This match, played last Saturday at Hoboken, proved a 
rent to the lovers of cricket, present in force, who had tine 
feather and good cricket Tho visitors won the toss and 
icgan the batting with George and Dan Newhall. l lie 
liter was master of the situation, playing an almost lauR- 
C8S inning for 02, his play being equaled by that ot lus 
anther, R. 8. Newhall (not out), 51 They being ably 
ided by the rest, the score reached 169 before the eleven 
vere disposed of. With this large score to face, Ranee 
nil Sleigh began the batting for St. George’s, but tho hard 
ield work of the morning told on the mon, and with the 
xcoption of Ranee, who played patiently and cautiously 
or 20, and Moeran and Cushman, who hit freely nnd well 
or 13 und 17 respectively, the St. George’s eleven made 
ittle resistance, their total being only 86, and therefore 83 
ichind that of their opponents. The fielding was excel- 
ent on both sides, but the bowling was inferior to the bat- 
ing. Despite the apparent disparity sjiown by the score,
