BASE BALL.-The Donaldsonville clubs,
Holans and Fortiers, both played in Iber-
vile parish last Sunday, the former at
Plaquemine with the Viguets and latter at
Bayou Goula with the White Shirts. The
Nolan players went up in separate detach-
,ments on the steamers City of Yazoo, Cor
ona aud Wyoming, returning at night on
the Warren. They were recipients of the
cordial hospitality always characteristic of
the ball tossers and people of Plaquemine
in general, and had the satisfaction of
playing with the Viguets game of base
ball the score of which has probably never
been equaled in the State by clubs composed
wholly of country players. Following are
the figures:

There was ample time to have prolonged
the game until the tie could be decided,
but as the afternoon had been exceedingly
warm and most of the players were very
tired, it was agreed to stop at the close of
the ninth inning. Over 30opeople gathered
in the South End Park to witness the game,
and fully half the audience were ladies and
children;
The Fortiers made their excursion on the
steamer Clipper and were accompanied by
a numbers of friends and admirers, the
party comprising forty-six in all. Leaving
here shotly after O'Clock they arrived at
Bayou Goula at $50, and met with a
hearty reception. The game with the White
Shirts was about as complete walk-over as
could be imagined, as the score will show:

Burke's curves were too much for the |
Bayou Goula boys, who had never faced that |
style of pitching before. A crowd of sew
erai hundred people turned out to see the |
game and the liveliest interest in its prog
ress was exhibited by old and yonng, includ- |
ing the ladies. Young Vincent, the only |
White Shirt to score run, was vociferously
applauded. The Fortiers played in bang
mp style and had every reason to be pleased
with their trip. They were entertained at |
dinner by the White Shirts and received the
most hospitable treatment from everybody
they met i'll the village. Leaving Bayou
Goula at 8 P. n, the excursionists reached
aome safely at haif past 10. - -
