done IN order that the ground might be staked
off. 50
Alderman I. j. Mackey then suggested that
the police on duty at the ground DO armod with
their Winchester rifles. The Mayor asked
President McCabe whether he thought this
would be advisable. President McCabe said
that as president of the Carolina Base Ball
