Next Tuesday the people of Dayton will be treated to what they have never before had in their city—a game between two first-class base-ball clubs. The Cincinnatis and Chicagos will play there on that day according to positive arrangements. In order that it may not be a League-game the two nines will have to “swap” a man; for instance, Glenn may play left field for the Cincinnatis and Cuthbert do the same for the Chicagos. With this exception, which is imperative under the rules to save the game from being a League contest, it will in all other respects be as well-contested a game on the part of each Club as any they will play this season. We are told that all the railroads centering on Dayton will run in excursion trains to the game.
