America Club failed to make their ap-
pearance in D0naldsonvillc last Sun
day, and the game announced to be
played by them and the Burnside
Club did not take place.
VI. A we'll contested scrub game was
played by the aacnbers of the Burn
side club upon their own grounds Sun
day afternoon, and at the close Of the
ninth inains the score stood 25 to 90.
The Burnside nine will, with practice
prove one Of the best in the State out
side Of New Orleans, and unless we
err greatly in our estimation Of their
ability to handle the ball and bat,
they will vear tho blue ribbon for
this section of country.
A letter has been received by the
Captain of the Burnside club from n.
D. Minor, Esq, Captain Of the Red
Stockings, announcing that the latter
club will surely visit Dohaldsonville
tomorrow to play the Burnsides a
friendly game: A committee Of ar
rangcaaehts has been selected to pre-
pare. for the reception Of the Red
Stockings, provide seats for the ladies
who may desire to witness the game,
and to exercise a general supervision
of that portion Of the field occupied
by spectators, and from our knowl-
edge Of the gentlemen composing the
committee, we can vouch for the
faithful performance Of the duties as
signed them. The, Red Stocking boy s
will be well received and entertained
by the Burnside club, and will, we
hope, he pleased with their visit,
whether they prove victors on the ball
field or not.
Two special meetings of the Burn
side club were held Wednesday eve
ming. at which several applications
for membership were received and
balloted upon, the applicants all be-
ing elected unanimously. The new
accessions to the club will materially
strengthen the first nine.
Mr.. Duncan T. Kenner has rendered
to the Young America club the use of
any portion Of his pasture land for a
ball field, and has also offered to have
the grounds laid off in proper shape
and hitcling posts erected for the con-
venience of persons visiting the field
on horseback or in buggies. This
generosity on the part Of Mr.. kenne1
has made him very popular with the
Young America ball tossers, and we
believe there is movement on foot
looking to change in the name of
their club from Young America to
kenner. ..... ....... .........

that the Red Stockings vii! prove the
