PRINTERS vs. HARNESSMAKERS

This  match on Monday afternoon was a thoroughly scientific one, and proved to be very exciting as it was a good day for runs. At first the odds were in favor of the harnessmakers, but the typos were good on the home stretch and they waxed their opponents right handsomely. The following is the Score:--
