FINE EsTABLIsHMENT.-We had the
pleasure few days ago of visiting and in
specting the new buildings erected by Mr..
James II. Somerville at the corner of Mis-
sissippi and ST. Patrick streets, and we are
| free to say that the Strangers Home, as the
establishment is called, is an ornament and
| credit to the town. The front building,
| which faces on Mississippi street, contains
the saloon and spacious dining room in the
ments occupied by Mr.. Somerville and his
family as living rooms" The rear build
ing sits at right angles with the other, ex-
tending along st. Patrick street, and con-
tains sixteen bedrooms, eight on the lower
floor and the same number up stairs. In
the yard neat kitchen building, a stable
and carriage house, ETC., are to be seen, as
| also two fine cisterns from Forcha's Acme
Factory, one being of extra large capacity
and resting on a circular brick foundation
the interior of which forms a cool and con-
venient storeroom or pantry where milk,
butter, meat and vegetables are kept. I'm
der the building on st. Patrick street there
is Il cellar for storing beer, wine, etc. The
houses have been constructed of the best
material throughout, and display abundant
evidence of the fact that none but skilled
mechanics were employed by Mr.. Somer-
vile. The furnishings are at once attrac-
tive and substantial, comprising all the
requisite appointments of we'll ordered
house of public entertainment. The bar
room is handsomely furnished and the walls
and ceiling are frescoed in an artistic man
ner that speaks volumes for the taste and
skill of Gingry the Painter. We doubt if
there is prettier job of painting in the
town, and those who have not inspected it
will find that visit to The Strangers Home
will we'll repay the trouble.

BASE BA1L,~-The base ball season can be
considered at close in Donaldsonville and
it is doubtful if anything more than few
scrub matches between home clubs will
be played here before next spring. A match
| for the 18th had been spoken Of, but as there
are likely to be several other races at Cleve-
land Park besides the $500 dash by Rols
| Boly and Creever and the afternoons are
very short, it will probably be deemed best
to dispense with a game of ball for that
occasion.
The famous New York and st. Louis
| clubs are advertised to play at the new Ex-
position grounds, New Orleans, on Mon
day, the 10th of November, six days after
| the opening of the American Exposition
| Such contest between the giants of the
| diamond field ought to draw big crowd OF
| spectators. ~~
A third and deciding game for sethe cham
| pionionship of Southwestern Louisiana u
was played at New Iberia Sunday before last
by the Iberias of that town and the Creoles
of st. Martinville. The Iberias defeated
their opponents by score of 81 to Z, and
much of the credit for this result is accorded
to Mr.. Louis Melaneon of Ascension, who
filled the pitchers box for the Iberia club
and nonplussed the St. Martin boys with
his skillfully curved balls. Mr.. Cab. Garde.
NAL, formerly agent of the Texas and Pa
citic Railroad Company at Donaldsonville,
was pitcher for the Creole nine. m.@
