/, What with Easter services, Dec.
Grafton Day and base ball and
Father Ryan's death and burial,
our people have had tor few days,
a great deal to see, hear, think of,
and talk about. The services III
the Roman aud Episcopal Churches
OF Easter morning, were grand and
beautiful. 'Tis a grand thing to
contemplate, that over the whole
world, on the same day, the wor-
slippers of the triune God, meet in
their decorated churches and places
of worship, and offer up thanks and
sing praises of joy over the great
truth that, Gas by nan came death,
by man same also the resurrection"
The beautiful decorations of eve
green's and flowers-the grand,
soul inspiring music, the grateful
incense OF thankful hearts, all tend
TO acknowledge the Brotherhood
of God, the Brotherhood OF man."
Want OF space prevents anything
Ike particulars, but the day was
grandly observed. Even many of
the modern churches holding seryi.
ces peculiar TO the day.
In the afternoon of Sunday the
first game OF base ball for the sea-
sou took place at FraScati, in the
new ball grounds, which are ar.
ranged with good Judgment, both
for playing and guests, i decided
Improvement OF anything we ever
had in Mobile. The famous 'Leesp
OF New Orleans played the ne,C
"Acid Iron Earth" of Mobile /; and,
rs was expected, won easily, by a
score of z to 0. The players on .he
"Acid lr9H Earth" had never prac.
ticed. the new pitcher arriving in
Mobile that morning, and all were
lew to each other, but on Monday
the game was stopped by the hard
ram at the 9th inning, with a score
OF q to D in favor of the Mobile
club. The new pitcher gives great
satisfaction, not only 10 the club,
bnt to the audience as we'll, and
when they practice together awhile
the "Acid Iron Earths" will prove
a hard club 10 defeat.
