Mr.. r. Landman, one of the most
popular merchants of the left bank of
the river, has concluded to enlarge the
scope of his business, and will next week

Donaldsonvile. He has purchased the
spacious building formerly occupied by
Mr.. John P. Harp, situated on Railroad
Avenue, corner Of Taylor street, and is
now III New Orleans selecting a com
plete line Of dry goods, clothing, hats
and caps, boots and shoes, groceries,
plantation supplies, wines, liquors, cigars
and tobacco, and proposes to have one
Of the finest and best stocks in town.
His prices will be placed down to the
lowest living figures, and the prospect is
that his advent to the mercantile arena
will be followed by lively sensation in
the growing business centre near the
railroad depot. The new store will be
III full blast by the latter part of the
coming week, and Mr.. Landman extends
cordial invitation to the public to con

BASE BALL.-The proposed match be-
tween the Bunsides of Donaldsonville
and Rambunctious club of Paincourt-
vile having fallen through by reason of
the inability of the latter to meet it's
engagement, game was played on the
public square last Sunday by mixed
nine of the Grasshoppers and Burnsides
and the Young Tigers of Faubourg La
Pipe. The mixed nine conceded odds to
their young opponents, by putting six
hands out in each ginning instead Of
three. Seven innings were played and
the score was as follows:
Mixed Nine. ---.--.3 10 3 8 2 6 $40
Young 1igers..-----l 4 All 2 $50
Umpire-Chas. Cook.
Scorer. McCuIloh.
The New Hopes visited Plaquemine
last Sunday with weakened nine and
easily defeated the Boss club of that
town in five-inning game. The score
was as follows:
New Hopes, .--....-...--n 0 Is 9 $40
Boss. 3 0-I2
Umpirc-W. j. Gilthorpe of New Orleans.
Scorer-Henry G. Braud.
The Bad Boys Junior of Smoke Bend
and Boston Juniors Of Port Barrow
played mining game last Sunday,
with the following result:
Bad Boys, Jr.,...---7 3 5 2 - 8 O-26
Bostons, Jr.,-----.--5 0 7 / 4-22
On Thursday the Bad Boys and Quick
Throws again crossed bats at Port Bar
row, and the latter club scored an easy
victory over their opponents. We APP
pend the score:
Quick Throws,7 012 0 9 0 9 O-3S
UmpIre-Sam. Pinel of Grasshoppsrs.
Scorer-Victor SQUARES.
For the two scores preceding we are
indebted to Mr.. John M. Bourgeois,
secretary Of the Bad Boys club. In the
latter game We understand neither clubs
had their full mines psoper, and it is
probable they will both be anxious to
meet again shortly to decide the ques-
ton of their relative strength. Three
matches have been played by them to
date. The Bad Boys won the first by so
to 46, the second was a tie, 90 to 20, and
the third was victory for the Quick
Throws, 80 to Ia.
To-morrow's game between the New
Hopes and Burnsdes, to be played at
the Clark place, will be one of tho most
interesting. events of the base ball sea-
son. Mr.. John Hisgen of New Orleans
will act as umpire. He is the same
gentleman who umpired the Lee Burn
side match on the 23th Of August, and is
thoroughly familiar with every point Of
the game.
1t is quite probable the game of to-
morrow will be the last played by the
Donafdsonville clubs outside Of town
this season, as grinding will soon begin
and most of the members of the country
mines will be engaged in working at the
sugar-houses of their respective vicini-
ties.
