THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE.
An Unpromising Outlook for the
Southern Diamond

An Unpromising Outlook for the
Southern Diamond.
j. p. Moran, who represented Charleston
at the recent Southern League meeting in
Chattanooga, has returned to Charleston
He does not represent the outlook for base
ball next season as being very promising.
The meeting did not accomplish anything
Owing to the failure of Atlanta and Chat
tanOOga to come to time, it was impossible
to get up the schedule, and there was moth
ing else for the committee to do. There was
some talk about the present members of the
league 'chippingn together and placing a
club in Atlanta and trusting to Chatta-
nooga to fill up the breach, but the scheme
was not practicable and was abandoned
The meeting adjourned without taking any
action in regard to the future, and the
affairs of the league are now at stand
still.
1t is said that both Atlanta and Chatta-
nooga want base ball next season and are
willing to pay for it, but nobody will take
the lead and assume the responsibility. 1t
looks, therefore, as if the Southern League
will be narrowed down to the four clubs
which played to the end last season, namely,
Charleston, Birmingham, Memphis and
New Orleans These cities have already
signed then teams and spent good deal of
money, which will be dead loss to them
unless the league has "balF next season,
1t is probable that further efforts will be
made to secure siX-club circuit, and III the
event of failure the four remaining clubs
will go it alone. Such at least Is the senti-
meut of Capt. Young, President of the
Charleston club.

VANNAH THIS AFTERNOON.

Their Visit Depending Upon Their
Early Arrival in Jacksonville This
Mornine-A Meeting of the Festival
Committee to Arrange for Their Re-
ception Senator Calls Tele ram to
Col Garrard
There is a probability that the Senatorial
party which passed through Savannah
Wednesday on its way to Florida will stop
here to-day on its return North. Col. Gar
rard. chairman of the Jasper Festival
Committee telegraphed Senator Call, who
is in charge of the party, on Thursday,
urging that it stop here if only for a few
hours, but did not get any reply until late
last night, when he received the following
telegram:
ST. AUGUSTINE FLA, Feb. q. 1883.
COL Nm. GaJTard, Chairman Jasper Festival
Committee.
The senatorial party will accept invitation if
they can get special train from here To jack
sonville in time 10 take the o'clock train to-
morrow morning. Twenty-Five in party:
tSigned) WILKINSON CALL.
Upon the strength of this telegram, aud in
view of the probability that the party will
be able to secure whatever schedule of
trains it desires, Col. Garrard has called
meeting of the General Committee of the
Festival at 10 o'clock this morning to ar
range for the reception and entertainment
of the distinguished visitors.
In event of their securing a special train
to Jacksonville in time to leave there this
morning they will reach here at 1928 o'clock
this afternoon and will remain until 1898
o'clock tonight. The Cotton Exchange

i'll the entertainment of the party.
In the event of their stopping here, which
seemed altogether probable last night, the
Senators will be met upon their arrival at
the depot and will be escorted in carriages
to the principal places of interest about the
city.
Col Garrard is anxious for full attend
ance at the meeting of the committee, as
the time is short in which to arrange for the
entertainment of the distinguished visitors,
and whatever is done will have to be done
at short notice.
A jacksonville dispatch received at 2:l5
O'Clock this morning sal that the Presi-
dents train left there at .9:45 o'clock, and
would pass Southover junction at
$50 o'clock this morning without coming
into Savannah. #Ths Senatorial party
will leave Jacksonville at 7:3J O'Clock and
will arrive here at 1928 o'clock, stopping
until S23 tonight. Arrangements have
been made to that effect.
The Presidents party will arrive in

stop there one hour, going from Charleston
direct TO Washington, and reaching the

Cadets Welcome a Bride.

One Of the pleasant incidents of the fes-
tival was the Savannah Cadets visit at the
residence of A. ]. Miller. on Perry sereet,
Thursday evening, in response to an invita-
ton to visit Comrade II. f. L. Miller and
bride Among those present besides the
Cadets were Messrs. Burks, Brown and
Sanguinnetti, of the Montgomery Greys.
Toasts were given, songs were sung, and
with the fine instrumental music the eve
ming was delightfully."- spent. One of the
features of the evening was song by Mr..
Paul Sanguinnetti, whose fine tenor voice
showed to splendid advantage. He is an
excellent vocalist. Mrs. Miller received the
Cadets very graciously, and the reception,
though informal, was in every way de
lightful one.

Quite an excitement was created in the

timely arrival of Officer Love prevented 1t.
Elk Constable G. p. II. Jones became in
volved in dispute with Constable Nathans

pOneynent
The shotgun tournament at the Whitaker
street base ball grounds yesterday attracted
quite number of sportsmen. The three
Savannah Clubs furnished a number OF
teams, while Mllen furnished four of her
crack shots in MeSsrs. Brinson, Bell, Lump
kin and Redes. The purse Of SD, given by
the Jasper Festival Committee was draw
ing card, and in one Of the five matches yes
terday there were twenty-three entries, and
seven entries in one of the team sweepstakes
Dark came on before the programme could
lie completed, and postponement was had
until to-day at 10 o'clock, when the Con
ISOLATION sweep will be shot OFF.
In the confused condition of the score,
the lateness of the hour, and the fireworks
display, it was impossible b get an ac-
curate report Of the matches last night
The Millen boys, however, tied in the first
match but were shot out They divided
first money in the second match and won
second prize, and also won the third match.
They went home last night in the best Of
humor
The afternoon was foggy and the smoke
settled in front OF the guns, and as result
there was not the usual excellence of
craftsmanship which characterizeS the
Savannah marksmen. DR. Roach and Mr..
Hrschbach made some good shots Messrs.
Dieter and Allen killed five straight birds
in the first match and tied in the shoOt-off,
taking first money. The tournament will
be- concluded by shooting off the sixth
match at the base bali park to-day. Conso-
lation sweep; barring all winners Of first
and second money in previous matches;

Thousands of People Gaze Upon the
Jasper Monument Unveiled.
The platform around the Jasper monu-
ment was taken down and cleared away
yesterday, and the statue stands out in full
view--a magnificent monument to the
memory of the brave hero.
The crowds that tramped through Madi-
son square on the unveling day and during
the festival have traapled the grass plats
into beds of sand, and there is hardly a foot
of sod in the square The surroundings Of
the monument will be made to compare
with those Of the other monuments on Bull
street. Madison square is capable of being
made one of the finest squares i'll the city
and now that the Jasper monument is com
plete there is nothing to delay the work of
improvement.
The monument excels the highest antici-
pations of its projectors in its proportions
and in its beauty. 1t is an imposing work,
and since the clearing away of the tempo
rary surroundings which partly covered its
base, it stands out more prominent than il
did at the unwilling. 1t was admired yes
terday by thousands who passed through
the square, and instinctively every one
stopped and gazed upon the sculptured
granite and the pictured scenes of the hero's
life

The Members Delighted With Their
Savannah Trip.

The Members Delighted With Their
Savannah Trip.
The Second United States Artillery Band
complimented the MORNING NEWS
with a delightful serenade yester-
day afternoon. The musicians com
posing the band have made many
friends in the city, not alone for the excel
lence of their music, which has been in
constant requisition during the three days
and nights of the festival, but also for their
gentlemanly department, and Leader DON
ovan has reason to be proud of his com
mand. A MORNING NEWS reporter was
present at an informal talk among
the members of the band yester-
day, and one and all agreed that Savannah
was one of the most attractive cities they
had ever visited. They were highly pleased
with their treatment here, which they said
exceeded even the hospitality extended
them at Atlanta, and they had no reason to
complain. Some of them expressed a de
sire to live here, and it is stated by friends
of the members who know that it is con
templated by few whose terms of service
will soon expire, to come here and attempt
the organization of a white band.
Speaking of the nationality of the mem
bers, one of them said, I'VE represent all
sorts of nationalitiesn Pointing to a rosy
checked comrade he said, "there's a
Georgian. He's at home here, and that one
leaning against the column is a Down East
Yankee. Then we have an Irishman for a
leader while there is Bohemian, Germans,
a Canadian, an Englishman and a Scotch
man.
The boys of the band regretted that the
weather was so threatening while they
were here that they couldn't trust their
new uniforms which they brought along
with them. They leave for st. Augustine
to-day. Mr.. d r. Robinson. chairman of
the committee on music of the Jasper Festi-
