Piaqnemine on Sunday, the 18th inst
by the Dixiss Of Baton Rouge and Il,
Vigaets Of Plaquemine, has been declare.
OF for some. reason, disagreement hav
ing arisen concerning which We have u,
particulars.
No response has been received TO til,
invitation Of the Nolans for game will
the Viguets Ut Plaquemine on the 18th
and an effort will be made to SECURE :
meeting between, these clubs on til.
4 18th. Our boys could go to Plaqnemin.
on the train Saturday evening aud re
turn. early Monday morning.
j The Nolans would like very much te
meet the Dixies, and we hope u match
between these crack clubs will be ar
ranged before the wet season sets in.
The Baton Rouge boys ought to be able
TO come to Donaldsonville almost any
Sunday, as they would lose only one day
BY the trip. They could come down on
the morning train and return home at
night, whereas the DMialdsonville play
ers, to visit Batol, Rouge, would have to
leave here the day before the game and
return the day after.
The Marksville Bulletin mentions the
game of the Nolans and the Rapides
picked nine at Alexandria and wonders
How Brother Bentley feels now p"
Why, he feels like trying it again, Broth
er Bulletin, and is confident that the No
lans will retrieve their lost laurels when
ever the opportunity is afforded them.
The Athletic and Gilt Edge clubs of
Rapides arc to play at Alexandria for the
championship of their parish. The game
was fixed for last Sunday, but was de-
ferred on account of inclement weather.
The Natchitoches Tindicator having
expressed sympathy with the Donaldson
vile club just before their late match
with the Rapides nine, the Alexandria
Democrat pokes fun at the Na.chitoches
editor in the following humorous style:
For the special benefit of our friend Brazeale
of the indicator, we append the following
description of the painting now on exhibition
at George II. Wilson'S I" Charm"
-Four tombstOnes occupy the foreground, with
numerous smaller ones in the distance. The
pale moonbeams play with CHASTITY light Ger the
relics OF mortality scattered round promls-
graves, while on the right huge oak tosses its
bare limbs all over the sky. Each stone bears
Its appropriate legend, the one on the right
remaining blank.
.Natchitoches.Score % to s.-De mortu;s nil
nisi bonum. They drank well.
Opelousas-Score, q to ]. Whom the Gods
love die young.
charlottesville 10 to 1. Victims of
misplaced confidence.
These inscriptions in their sad simplicity,
would draw tears from mule. Brazeale. Go
weep some yourself.
We hope our Alexandria friends will |
lave no inscription placed ON the fourth |
stone until the Nolans haves had another
whack ut them. Then Dunaldsonville I
will claim the.privilegc of furnishing the
epitaph.
A practice.galne.o ON Nolan Square last
Sunday between mines chosen prolniscn-
oHsly from the players present, resulted
iii a score Of IL to II in favor of the side
that got the IL.
