p, Parker to have spread ON the festive
occasion the finest. tables ever spread in
this state, and anyone who knows aught of
The culinary capacity of The Halliday
will not doubt but that the order will be
fully carried out
Two negro sharpers were detected by
Officers Martin and Mahanny yeaterd ay
forenoon in on attempt to play confidence
game upon q country man from Kentucky,
They met their intended victim at
the Illinois Central passenger depot
and there engaged him in con-
vcysation, during watch they made
themselves very agreeable and proicsscd to
he going the same way as he, down to Cot
tonwood Point, They succeeded in gain
ing his entire confidence and lead him up
the leyee toward the stone depot where a
boat was lying, which they intended to
| board for down the river On board the
boRt they drew the cards and, when the
boat landed at the lower wharf where the
officers were waiting, the countryman had
offered to bet ten dollars that he could
draw the marked card. But the officers
spoiea the game and broke up the party
by taking tho two negroes under arrest
They took their prisoners before Magis'
| trate ComiDgs, where they gave their names
as Haywood Simmons and Harry Doty
They we're fined one hundred dollTa aud
costs each aud given stay OF one hour, OF
which they avalled themselves with ALAG
rity. The last named of the two rascals is
the same wto some time ago went through
the Chicago st. Louis aDd New Orleans
train Immediately after its arrival and
picked up number of hats, umbrellas,
ulsters, etc. but for which otlense he was
not prosecuted because the conductor OF
the train refused to appear against him.
- In view Of the fact that Cairo is soon
to have the champion base bali club Of this
part Of the coun.ry,a word of advice bear
ing on this sport is not out Of place. Base
bail as q profession never before had such
fsiI prospects asat the present time, There
never before was such an array OF able
bodied bali.tossing talent in the field, and
never before such opportunity for these
muscular youths TO earn an agreeable live
Iih0od if they will only behave themselves.
The only thing that can keep the game
from drawing is bad management Even
in New York, where the interest for years
has been ut the lowest ebJ, a game between
the MetroFoiitsus and Chicago last Saturday
drew an attendance Of more than 5000.
People are perfectly willing that club and
players should make money il they will only
play good, honest base ball, In order TO do
this II is essential that the players keep so
Der, take good care Of themselves and
learn to subordinate their personal notions,
and above all their loud mouths, to team
discipline. Very few people care to see two
uniformed gangs Of braggarts play ball
with their mouths, but almost anybody is
Glad to see game that shows system and
organizations For PLAYERS to lose their
tcmoers and get 70 "chinninr among them
selves is amuch worse exhibition than any
ordinary disnlay of nufinism Whenever
