INTERVIEW WITH THE MAYOR
Imnedistely after the delivery Of the fore
going reply, President McCabe had an inter
view with the Mayor, at which Alderman T. j.
Msckey, the Chief Of Police and Lieutenant
Taft were present.
Mayor Pillsbury said that he was perfectly
satisfied with President MoCabe's letter. and
would do all that he could to make the visit Of
the Savannah Club pass Of pleasantly. Ia
compliance With request made by President
McCabe, the Mayor then ordered Captain
Hendricks. chief Of police, to close all the
streets in the immediate neghborhood Of the
playground, except Tradd-street. This was
done in order that the ground might be staked
of.
Alderman T. J. Mackey then suggested that
the police on duty at the ground be armed with
their Winchester rifles. The Mayor asked
President MoCabe whether he thought this
would be advisable. President McCabe said
that as president of the Carolina Base Ball
Club he could not give any opinion on the sub
ject, but, as citizen, he would say that the
srmiug Of the police would have good moral
effect, and tend to prevent trouble. The Mayor
then said that the squad Of police on duty
should be araed and be under the orders OF
President McCabe, or Of the committee of ar
rapgements, as he might prefer. They will be
stationed along the ropes. and no one will be
allowed inside the ropes without the permis-
sion Of the committee Of arrangements. The
Mayor made it understood In the course OF the
interview that he was determined to preserve
the peace If it could be done, and IL there was
any riot it .ould be crushed out at once.

BASE BALL GOSSIP.
There is general feeling among the citi-
zsns that the Savannah boys are the especial
guests of the city, and should be most hos
pitably treated. Their hosts, the Carolina
Club, re prepared. to carry into effect any plan
that may be prepared for their amusement.
The time of their stay has been 80 divided out
that there will be no fear Of ennui. 1t is pre-
sumed that as the memb rs Of base bau clubs
are invariably devout, that Sunday will be pro.
bable spent visiting the different churches.
No apprehensions exist that any disturbance
will occur. as every precautlou has been taken
to prevent any rlotous demonstration, and such
an untoward end to the festivities Of the game
is neither feared nor expected.
MAJORS PROCLAMATION.
We learn that the Mayor has written proc
lamation. which will be published on Monday,
