the non appearance of those rolls. The
trouble was that Lieut.. Blanc and his
cdoUed depaty didn't carry thoir message
correctly.
That friend Joe is wrong if he thinks a
business rival had any connection with
that On Dit
That the yonns NAN wire says he has
no character to lose and 10 reputation
to make in this community may spoil his
chances with the girls by such reckless
statements.
That On Dit has been the means of re-
storing that ring to its rigltful owner.
That a fellow way off in Napoleonville
refused to make raid on some fine plum
trees, because "he had been in On Dit
cnce."
That the mosquitoes paid less fare and
got more to eat than any one else on the
recent sea-shore trip.
That it is astonishing what prcscience
Of evil some folks have. Vivian knew
she was going to get in On Dit about
sitting on Genazzini's beer casks.
That the rosy check of a certain young
lady was SO inviting, even the base ball
couldn't withstand the temptation Of
kissing it.
That rnmor has engaged one Of our
young ladies to two gentlemen, and
That we wonder which will get tho
prize, Donaldsonville or Plaquemine!

BASE BALL.-The Bnrnsiles visited the
Clark plantation last Sunday afternoon
and played a match with the New Hopes
The score was as follows:
Burnsilcs, e 2 3 5 5 Z 80
New H"pcs,--3 8 2 2 l 3-24
Umpire-Jos. NJ. Heating of the Grass
hoppers.
Scorers-R r. Hart for New Hopes, Jno
S. Rcynaud for Burnsides.
The Hopes had Il stronger team than
Ill their game of the previous Sunday,
and their play evinced considerable i'm
provemont. We are more than ever con
WINGED that they only require practice
to become one Of the best clubs in the
parish. The Burnsdcs we're weakened
by the absence Of their regular pitcher
and the indisposition Of three other good
members. Two Of the nine were not
able to run the bases and Capt. Bringicr
Of the Hopes kindly consented to allow
Messrs. Cook and Louis Stockmeyer of
the Grasshoppers to take their places as
base runners. The umpiring Of Capt.
keatiny was first-class and gave perfect
satisfaction.
The Grassl,oppers of Donallsonvillc
and White Oaks of New River will play
on the public square tomorrow after
noon. The White Oaks have not been
defeated since their organization over Il
year ago, and if they are as strong as
last year close game may be expected.
On the 10th Of July the Grasshoppers
and New Hopes will play their second
game, on the grounds of the latter club.
The CHIEF is indebted to Mr.. X. Il.
Hart, Treasurer and scorer of the New
Hopes, for 4 detailed and model score of
last Sundays game between the New
Hopes and Burnsides, showing every
point of the play.
A very Interesting game was played
by the Nine Stars and r. Bleaklcys, on
the grounds of the latter club, in st
James parish, last Sunday, resulting in
Il score Of Is to II in favor Of the Bleak
leys. Mr.. Traisue acted as umpire. The
Bleakleys are DESTROYS Of hearing from
the New Hope club.
Much perturbation has been caused in
Grasshopper circles by the statement APP
pearing in the CHIEF two weeks ago TO
the effect that the B,lrnsides arrosate
to themselves the title of champions of
the coast AS an offset to this claim,
announcement has been made in the
New Orleans Picayune-upou Grasshop-
