which are lined with vessels, warehouses and
goods of every description awaiting storage, ex-

To-day the Atlantics play the Chicago Giants on
the Union Grounds
AT last a day has been fxed upon for the grand
match between amateur tens from this city and
Brooklyn. Next Tuesday the two teams Will meet
on the Union Grounds and again treat the public
to a model display OF the beauties or our natiOnai
game. Very many old ogIes thought the anna
teurs incapable OF playing really first class game,
bnt the hrst match between she representative
picked tens OF New rorh and broo&iyn qaicKiy
dispeued all such ideas. Now, let those who
are iond OF the game, but have lost
all faith In the PROFESSIONALS 90 and
see the picked tens next Tuesday, and 1t IS safe
to say they Will be more than dounly repaid for
their trouble. Both teams are very strong and
very evenly matched. The Brooklyn ten contains
but three OF those who composed 1t upon the occa.
or the 1rst game, the places OF those who are
lett out having been filed by men equally as good
in every respect as those who were defeated by q
score OF to 0. The New York ten could not pos.
siby be improved upon, composed as II is OF none
but first class batters and felders. all OF whom
seem confident OF their ability 10 dispose OF the
Brooklyn Iolks 1or another whole nest OF 'duck

THE NATIONAL GAME.
The Hartfords Beaten bv tho Allan


About four hundred people assembled on the
Union Grounds yesterday afternoon to witness the
game between the Atlantics and Hartiords. A fine
display OF the beauties OF the game was not ex.
pected, so no one was disappointed. The visitors
were outplayed all through the game, both at the
bat and in the field. AS VIII be seen by the score,
the AtlantlcS played :wo new men-Martin and
McGee. The former Is au old and honorable ball
player, who made an excellent reputation years
ago as second baseman IN the old Union nine, OF
Morrisania, when they were the champions. He
mas not played ball since he left the Unions, out,
judging from hts "pay" yesterday he has lost
within his reach was neatly and eXpeditiously
cared for, and, although he failed to get base
hit he hit the ball very hard each time. McGee Is
from the Flyaways, and has few If any superiors
with the bat, ana Is considered AL in the field.
In the sixth inning the Hartfords changed their
tactics by putting Fisher and Barnie IN to pitch
and catch, and the change was beneficial, for the
Atlantics failed TO hit Fisher with that freedom
which had characterized their dealings With
Stearns.
The score follows:-

The.1ss Of Ehursasy, under

extract from Che Chicso Tribune
as follows.
There is one hope for Louisiana,
bat it does not come from the
White League. In fact, the League
10 an obstacle taits accomplishment.
This fall q now Legislature is to be
chosen. If. honest whites. q, and
blacks can but unite and secure the
.eaecim,d-nu~ honest Legislature,
impeachmants would soon rid the
State Of Ususper- Kellogg and his
crew. and Louisiana would, be re-
deemed. This demands union, not
separation, Of the two races.
Neither can effect it alone."
We can understand why Repnbli-
cans oppose the White, Leaggne, be-
cause it breeds i'll will among the
races and: damages the Industrial
interest Of the whole State, while
it i,nper;ls the political rights Of a
majority OF its citizens. But judg-
ing from the above 'the independent
Times Of New Orleans" opposes the
White League, not because said
organization is wrong, but practi-
cally because it will, prevent. and
embarass the efforts and divide the
councils Of the men who seek the
overthrow Of the present govern
nent by the Impeachment Of Gov
ernor William Pitt Kellogg. Our
readers will know after this mani
festation Of animosity toward the
sxistinggovernment and the colored
voter and will be prepasea to appreciate
the degree Of value to be attached

tended. good will Of the Times.
