A good exhibition of American football was seen on the Polo Ground on Saturday, when a team composed of Shanghai athletes played a team from the U. S. 8S. New Orleans. The proceeds from the tickets sold went. to the Women's Famine Relief Society, and while the Treasurer's report is not as yet received, a big crowd was present, and the game was in every way a success.
The score—25 to nil for Shanghai—is not a fair indication of the Ballarat broke down completely in their second innings, only compiling 30 runs, all out, Wadington and Hitch had fine atialyses, the former taking 8 wickets for 15 runs, and the latter 5 for 10.—Reuter.
