WE had the pleasure, Saturday, of witnessing a game of base-ball on Jarvis Field, in which Messrs. Thayer, Ernst, and a few others met a Nine from Brown; these latter being favored - for that occasion only, we trust - with the kind services of Messrs. Tyng and Thatcher. The odds against the Harvard men were, naturally, enormous; and the game terminated in our defeat by a score of eight to seven. The second innings was marked by a fine double play by Ernst, and in the following innings a splendid hit by Thayer gave three runs. In the fifth, a double out was made by Ernst, who obstinately insisted on catching a fly regardless of the earnest advice of his friends to drop it. In the sixth innings the Brunonians made two runs by the repeated errors of Thatcher, who was playing in a strange position and was doubtless agitated by the unearthly Providential howls from the grand stand. In the eighth, Tyng went to third base, a change by no means productive of victory. Safe hits by Tower and Nash gave us a run, but the last innings came to an untimely end with a fine catch by Dow, when we had a man on third, and needed but one run to tie.
