BASE BALL.

The second game of the series was
played at lola, Monday last, between the
lola Nine and Humboldt Benders. The
absence of one of their players compelled
them to play eight men. The weather
was fair and quite crowd was out to
witness the game. At the end of the
sixth inning, the Blenders threw up the
game, despairing of overtaking the lola
boys, who led them 80 runs. Taken al
together the lola Nine had an easy vic
tory, winning the game by the following

In the case Of P. G. Bethel VS.. the
city of Memphis, heard in the First
Circuit Court, Judge Heiskell delivered
a written opinion yesterday refusing the
peremptory mandamus asked for by the
plaintiff, on the ground that the appli-
cation did not fall within the act of
1878, chapter SO, page lO2. The agreed
case submitted to the court was that
" the assignor Of plaintiff made u con
tract with defendant to pave with stone
the intersection of streets and alleys
and in the public streets and alleys in
front of public property Of the city;
that the city gave its notes for such
paving; that judgment was obtained
against the city on such notes, and that
the property.holders we're not specifically
assessed to pay for any part of the work,
as they we're TO pay for the Nicolson
pavement laid down in front of their
property" The question submitted
was: Should the writ of peremptory
mandamus be awarded in the case.
