INCIDENT AT MONTREAL.

GAME OF BASEBALL. VISITORS NOT IMPRESSED. * ' MONTREAL. July 10. Tlie Australian cricketers watclied a big baseball game between Montreal and Baltimore teams to-day, being accommodated in a reserved box. Fifteen thousand persons saw the .game, mostly French Canadians who had discarded their coats but retained their straw hats.

Alternately the crowd jeered and hooted the umpire and engaged in wild bursts of cheering, while the Australians, in grey suits and felt hat 6, placidly watched the proceedings. One Frenchman in front turned round and said: "Do not you fellows ever get excited?"

Then the manager of one of the baseball teams rushed on to the field and abused the umpire. The cricketers left, not enamoured of the spirit in which baseball is played at Montreal.
