BASE BALL AT CHArAwA.

III CHATAwA, MISS, May Gath, 1868.
TO the EDITOR Of the Crescent: w r,-l
On Saturday, May 10th, the second game OF @
series for the championship, between the Osyks
Club. of 0syka, Miss, and the Enterprise Club, of
Cbataws, took place. Ii was witnessed by large
concourse of people, and as the first game had
been won by the Enterprise, much interest was
evinced, as twas feared they would also win the
second. But the game resulted in favor of the
osyka Club, some of whom played remarkably
well. We are sorry to say that the game was
stopped in the 9TH inning, on account of the sud
den illness of the pitcher of the Enterprise Club,
Mr.. Waterman. II was hardly to be expected that
the Chatawa boys could win the game, as three Of
their best players were absent, viz Messrs. Nc.
Cornell, Pickles and y. Hipman, and the club was
compelled TO take two OF three outsiders to make
up the nine. We neglected TO say in the proper
place that at the time Mr.. Waterman was taken
sick the 0syka Club was about seven runs ahead.
The next game, which will be the decisive one,
will be very interesting no doubt, and probably
the hardest contested Of the three. Jos. Marks,
Esq, deserves thanks for his kindness in furnsh-
ing refreshments TO the players.
We amend the scora of the game

THE RACES.

There are two for to-day. The first will be
mile heats. There are three entries, Visen-
hunt, who was unexpectedly beaten by Faro,
last week, Tom Green, and Jack Gamble, Jr.
This may be an interesting race. In the
pools sold last night, Wisenhunt was worth
$50, Jack Gamble, Jr., s23, and Tom Green,
ST. The next race is the three mile heats.
There are four entries S,tndoloR, Missouri's
entry for the great post stake race of Satur-
d4y week last, Chalmette, Col. Nelligan's
Daniel Boone colt, who won so handsomely
oin Saturday last, Transit, and Carrie Atterton,
amare who made a fine run against Fannie
Cheatham, on Tuesday last. The purse viii
ge $1,000. In the pools Shutdown was worth
800, Chalmette and Carrie coming next,
each being second in some pools and third in
others, while Transit was not considered to
be worth much. Besides this, there is in the
programme a mile dash for two year olds,
purse of $500; but as there is but one entry
+ will be no race.
:. The following correspondence will explain
itself:

From the above it will be seen that there
will be, to-day, additional attractions on the
Metairie 1t is the last day of the meeting
The attendance will probably be excellent, as
every one who can get away from town will
surely see the three mile race.

~ Race Report on second page.

The latest news from Europe contradicts the
reports of an eme,de in Paris which were circu-
lated last week. and which originated in the tel
egram of Saturday night from England. 1t is
quite possible that the rumor of an actual out
break was set ahoat on the other side of the
ocean by spectators eager to avail themselves
of any opportunity of influencing the markets.
But the fact that spectators see their oppor-
tunity in the present condition OF affairs in
France is primd facie evidence that the situa-
ton is, at least, precarious. Rumors and re-
ports which lack the foundation of reasona-
BILE sequence from recognized facts, are apt
to be treated as the inventions of an idle
fancy. Such reports would certainly exercise
no influence on the markets of the world.
The fact that the English markets were
affected by the report of an eme'de
in Paris shows that the English people
believe those causes to be in existence, and
indeed, in active operation, which would nat'l-
rally result in collision between the authori-
ties and the people. 1t is, however, quite GER
tain that no such collision has taken place. 1t
is not, by any means, certain that collision
will take place. But it is certain that there is
great popular effervescence in Paris, and that
a spirit of sullen discomfort, liable at any mo.
ment to be kindled into activity, has taken
possession of the people. The emperor may
have taken such measures as to secure him.
himself against revolt; he may have as
sured himself of the fidelity of the army he
may be strong enough to suppress any oppo'
sition but all this, whilst it wightapparently
strengthen his present position, must be re-
garded as the strongest evidence of the failure
of his ruling idea-the establishment and per
petuation of Napoleonic dynasty in Paris.
