The game yesterday at the park, between
these two clubs, resulted in the defeat of
the '.invincible, rafting, famous boys in
gray by the stunning" Lone Stars-and
the present nine will do it 'every time the
same way"-in score of 10 to =, nine in
nings. Had it not been for a few errors in
the first and last innings the L. E. Lees
would have been 'sent to Chicago" for in
the whole game they did not earn a single
run. The fielding of both clubs was SPLEEN
did. and without doubt it was one of the
best games ever played on the park between
amateur clubs. Hennessy, Leonard, Scott
Wright, Redon, Eastin and Amar played base
ball most scientifically, and the fielding of
Bond, Burtis, Bertel and Tilton was really
fine.
We would like to know how can the
directors of the park or base ball clubs hope
to encourage the national game by charg
ing fifty cents admission to home games.
The visiting clubs won't make half their
expenses if they who are in charge of clubs
or the park discourage the admirers in this
manner. We think that the admission for
all home games should be twenty-five cents
and no more; then the thousands who like
to see a good game could stand the pressure
when visiting clubs are playing AS for
home games, in future let those in command
reduce the price of admission, and base ball
will be encouraged to a greater extent, and
the clubs will make much more money by
so doing Nuf ced

the polite secretary of the Pelican Club, for

There was closely contested game of

played well in their respective positions.

Academy of F1usic.

Robertson's graceful comedy of "Home,"
produced last night for the first time in
New Orleans, achieved success which
must have exceedingly gratiied the artists
taking part in the cast. 1t is one of the
authors least exciting and least sensational
pieces, but its very repose and quietness
are telling in the extreme, and these quail
ties, added to an unusual grace and finish
in construction, tend to make Home" if
not the best, certainly the most entertaining
of this authors charming productions. The
plot is so slight as to scarcely need relating.
The acting however, was admirable, and in
all the pieces which have been so charm
ingly and perfectly acted by this company,
they never appeared to better advantage
than in "Home."
Charles Wyndham is in this the centre
figure, and in Colonel White finds charac-
ter admirably suited to his talents. The
easy, experienced gentleman, the fervor
of the feigned passion for Miss
Pinchbeck, and the embarrassment of
his real love for Dora, were portrayed
with the exquisite finish and naturalness
that always distinguish the acting of this
deservedly popular artist. Miss Margaret
Young, in Mrs. Pineh5eck, displayed
power which few would have given her
credit for. In the third act especially. her
acting was superb. Without speaking a
word, she brought down a round of APP
plause. Miss Goodall was excellent as
Dora Ihor7shaugh. Her charming rendi-
ton of Virginia Gabriels plaintive ballad,
"Only," received a well merited encore.
Miss Cowell, as Lucy, was the same bright,
pretty and fascinating little creature she
always is. Mr.. Siddens and Mr.. Ryan were
respectively excellent in their parts, as was
also Mr.. Fitzpatrick, whose part, however,
seemed somewhat uncongenial to him. We
cordially recommend Home to our read
ers as an extremely lifelike and graceful
picture of real life, admirably conceived
and exguisitely executed.

THE KNIFE.-It seems that there is no
end to the flow of blood, for not a day
passes without our being called on to
chronicle some deed Of strife. The first
yesterday morning was the probably fatal
cutting of James Carlin, by his brother-in-
law, James Maloney, at No. 81 Religious
street, Carlin's residence. The men had
engaged in a war of words, ending by
Maloney stabbing his relative in the abdo-
men two or three times, one cut over his
eye and a stab in the back of his neck. The
wounds are sufficient to kill horse, ordi-
narily Maloney was arrested and Carlin
sent to the Charity Hospital.

BEATEN TO DEATH.-On the twenty
eighth ultimo lad, William Kane-Caswell,
was reported as having been terribly mall
treated by some people living on Dryades,
between Lafayette and Poydras streets. A
slight Investigation proved that the boy had
received beatings for some time back. On
the day mentioned he had been sent by the
woman, Mary Ann Hickey, to procure
whisky for her, when he was not prompt in
returning as she desired. 1t is reported
that she actually hung him by his neck,
nearly strangling the poor life out OF him.
She also tied his hands and threw him into
a barrel of water, then placed him in bed
and belabored him until he was exhausted.
He was so sick afterward that it was neces-
sary to send him to the Charity Hospital,
where he died yesterday. This child had
no parents, having been an orphan since he
was an infant. The woman was arrested

SEEKING HER HUsBAND-A Woman Badly
Enthusiastically large-sized woman
nude an affidavit against Michael Cronan
charging him with bigamy; warrant was
issued and Michael arrested. Last night he
was found and taken to police headquarters,
where the madam was waiting TO confront
the srecreant husband. When the couple
were face to face, she empharieally declared
he was the man; but Mike put in a general
denial, laughingly saying that he had never
before seen the feminine claimant. She in
sisted; he persisted. She said that they had
lived together five years and had children:
still Mike could not be persuaded that he
was the woman's husband. In fact, he was
able to prove that he was not the recreant
husband. He appeared to enjoy the farce,
while the woman grew more and more con-
fused. She was urged to produce some
proof to substantiate her broad assertion,
and finally stated that her husband had a
large scar on one of his feet. Mike quietly
slipped off shoes and socks, showing pair
of unscarred feet, greatly to the woman's
confusion A few more questions disclosed
the fact that the mother was so completely
ratified that she did not know her own mind
She came from New York few days ago,
having heard that Michael had married a

not Michael, but that seemed to have no in
