An amusing incident occurred during the recent rip of the Chicagos to Boston. The club started on ahead of President Hurlbert [s8ic], for the purpose of playing a game at Utica, heaving Mr. H. to follow on in a sleeping car, arrangements having previously been made for the boys to occupy the same car with himself on its arrival at Utica. Hurlbert ingratiated himself into the good graces of the sleep car porter, and as the train approached Utica the latter confidentially whispered to him to look out for his watch and other valuables, as the base ball club was coming aboard to go to Boston.
