BASE BALL.-Quicksteps rs. B"rnsides.-
Last Saturday night the members of the
Qnickstep Base Ball Club of New Orleans
arrived here per steamer Natchez and
were received at the wharf by large
crowd, tho Independent Band being
present and adding to the eclat Of the
reception by playing some lively airs.
The visitors were cordially received and
escorted to the r. f. Lee Hotel, where
Mr.. J. J. Lafargue, the popular pro-
prictor Of the establishment, was as
founded by the presentation to himself
Of beautiful silver pitcher the Quick
steps had brought with them, upon
which these words were engraved: "To
J. J. Lafargue from friends in New Or
leans" The gift was handed to Mr.
Lafargue by Mr.. Geo. Chiapella, Prcsi-
lent Of the Qnickstel,s, accompanied by |
= brief address appropriate to the occa-
sion. Being taken completely by sur
prise, Mr.. Lafargne called upon his friend
L. +. Bentley, Esq, to respond in his
behalf, and at the conclusion Of the
attcr's remarks, the pitcher was literally
;liristened with champagne, Of which
all present were invited by Mr.. Lafargne
70 partake. After an hour or 50 Of coll
VITALITY, the party dispersed.
Sunday afternoon the game of ball be-
,ween the Qnickstep and Burnside mines
;ook place on the public square, and was
by large crowd Of interested
spectators. The Qnicksteps proved vic
;orions by tho following score:

good, and it is hard to say which is the
,etter Of the two i'll this respect; but
he curved pitch of the Quickstcps took
,he Donal.lsonville boys at disadvan-
j,se, their best strikers being unable to
nit more than one ball in dozen. After
,he regular match. Mir. Pierre Klopman
'ffered IL prize Of $25 for game of FIVE
innings, the curved pitch to he omitted.

lucksteps, .....-2 2-8
This score will demonstrate how near
y matched the two clubs are The
nome boys think they would have car
led off the prize in the second bout if the
Qnicksteps.. had not called their regular
pitcher again into requisition in the last
inning. However, the Burnsdes are
we'll satisfied with their playing and
will always deem it a pleasure to meet
he gentlemanly Quicksteps upon the
diamond field. The games of Sunday were
lmpired in highly satisfactory manner
