TIE CITY BY THE SEA.

The Base Ball OutIook--A Bad Day for
Fielding - Preparations for st. Pat
riok's Day.
CHARLEsToN, March 13.-The rain
which set in here on Friday has acted AZ
q damper on base ballists. The Charles
ton Association had just finished work on
their grounds. The field had 10 be made /;
that Is. a hilIy plot had 10 be leYeled and
rolled and the rolling had just been fin
ished Friday morning. A day or two Of
sunshine would have fixed things nicely,
but the rain came and everything has
been turned to slush. The game which
was TO have taken place this afternoon
between the league nine and the Etlwans
had 10 be postponed indefinitely. The
Louisville nine are looked for tonight
and a game will be played Monday
n the weather permits. The Charleston
people have not yet had an opportunity Of
seeing the work Of their nine. II is said
that the Charleston salaries are the low
est paid in the league, and for this reason
there Is some disposition to doubt the
skill OF the men. The managers Of the
club, however, profess the greatest conf
dence ia their team and say that the sala-
ries, like the flowers tnat bloom in the
spring, have nothing 70 do With the case: (:
that their men are satlsned Win lhelr pay
and that they are satisfied with their
men, who, they say. will make gallant
fight for the pennant.
The Irish organizations OF Charleston
are making preparation for The eelebra-
tion OF 81. Patriok's day here on a scale
uninterrupted In the past. The event Of
the day will be the laying Of the corner
stone Oi 81. Patrick's church, on which
occasion there will be n grand military
and civic procession. Several distin-
gulsbed Catholic prelates from abroad are
expected 70 be present and take part In
the ceremonies.
