Description | RURAL SPORTS.--We can testify to a most superb game of old fashioned base-ball at the Champs d'Elysses, at Hoboken, on Friday of last week, and bear it in mind the more strongly from the remaining stiffness from three hours play. While on the ground, a party of the Knickerbocker Club arrived, and selected another portion of the field for themselves. When they had finished, the amateurs with whom we had taken a hand, challenged the regulars to a match, and both parties stripped and went at it till night drew the curtains and shut off the sport. At the closing of the game the amateurs stood eleven and the Knickerbocker four. On the glory of this result, the amateurs challenged the regulars to a meeting on the same day this week, for the cost of a chowder to be served up, upon the green between them. When it is known that the editors of the American Statesman and National Police Gazette played among the amateurs, and particularly that Dr. Walters, the Coroner of the city kept the game, the result will probably not produce surprise.
