An EXCURSION TO Memphis From the
Mario City.


Magic City.
Ate o'clock yesterday morning an ex-
cursion train consisting OF nine coaches
arrived in the city from Birmingham and
ZOO passengers debarked and scattered
around promiscuously. The party left
Birmingham at 0 o'clock pm. Saturday
night, making the run in twelve hours,
and left on the return at o'clock p.m.,
having remained in Memphis twelve
hours. The trip was long and tedious
one and the visitors we're ttigued. Many
took rooms at the hotels and rested up
little, after which all started out to see the
sights. Calvary and other churches were
visited during divine service, and many
who went to see remained 10 pray. Elm
wood cemetery was visited and extrava-
gantly admired by the visitors, who pro-
nounced it the most beautiful spot and
the most charming natural location they
ever had seen. Jackson Mound Park was
also visited, and other points OF local in-
terest. The visitors enjoyed drives over
the boulevards and obtained a good idea
OF the magnitude OF the Memphis races
from a visit to Montgomery Park.
During the evening Messsrs. ]. II. Nc
Williams, Treasurer OF the Francis Vande-
grift Grocery Company, r. 4. Houston.
bookkeeper in the same, and @. p. Free
man, teller OF the First National Bank, en-
tertained number OF friends at
Floyd & MONEYS. A bountiful
spread was enjoyed and choice
wines were discussed. Impromptu re-
sponses were made TO toasts and all en-
joyed themselves. Mr.. Freeman was par
ticularly felicitous In responding to
memphis" Mr.. Freeman said he freely
conceded that the Bluff City was blessed
with more beautiful young women than
were to be found in Birmingham. Bir-
mngham was getting them and would got
them, but she could not keep them.
Memphis was venerably city where
the accretions OF wealth long since accu-
INFLATED and enjoyed, gave a charm and
grace to social life that had their effect
upon the fair sex. Here, young ladies
matured in loneliness. He did not mean
TO say that they matured into old maids,
but they were 50 numerous that they
could DO seen and admired for season
before they were carried of as prize by
some one. In Birmingham IL was diiler-
ent. There tie preponderance oil
J masculinity was 80 considerable
and decided that young lady COM
ing on the carpet for the first time was at
once besieged by three or four admirers,
one OF whom was successful In his suit.
, Thus the beauty OF his native city was
meteoric and flashed only for an instant
when II was retired under the eclipse OF
matrimony, while in Memphis, beauty
shone with planetary steadiness. Many
! other complimentary things were said
a about Memphis by the visitors and al
seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly.

Opening Jackson Mound Park.

The delightful Easter weather yesterday
caused a very large number OF people TO
visit jackson Mound Park yesterday and
last evening. Tho grounds during tho
day wore pretty well filled with visitors
who amused themselves sirolling along
the walks, gazing at the river from the
high pavilion which surmounts the old
Indian Mound, watching the children
play In the soft grass or flying In the big
swing, sitting IN groups at tables and on
joying the refreshments, soda waters, lem
onadc, sandwiches, lager beer, etc.

OUR SEWERS AND THE HOUSE
CONNECTIONS.

We invite the attention not only OF the
authorities, but Of our householders gen.
orally, TO the letter Of Col. George L. War
ing, Jr., which we publish on the INST
page. While II is IN answer to the recent
report OF Mr.. Hartford, engineer in charge
OF tho sewers under Col. Meriwether, and
to some severe structures by The Engineer
ing Ners, it contains a great deal Of in
formation concerning the choking and
the flushing OF the house connecting sewers
that should be in the possession OF the peo-
pie. Under proper supervision and care the
Waring system, ms IL has come to be called,
Is a safe system Of sewers, neglected 1t
Is dangerous one. As to tho points at
variance between Col. Waring and Mr..
Hartford and The Engineering Ne,cs's COM
ments we have nothing to say. They must
Fight their own battles. But out OF their
charges and counter-charges we extract
some words OF warning that must not DO
passed unheeded. They are words that
should arouse the authorities TO prompt
inspection OF the house connections to sec
II they are properly flushed, and are not
choked by accumulations that are danger
Gus to the public health. So far
rs the sewers are concerned MIR.
Hartford is faithful In attending
to them, and he cannot DO held
responsible for the neglect or indif
ference Of those who will not properly at
tend 10 their closets. The house to hous'
inspection ordered some three weeks agC
is good and timely work, but we suggcs
that Mr. Hartford be instructed by thu
Taxing District council TO employ reason
ablo number OF experts 10 inspect thu
house connections and report upon thei
condition with view To immediate rem
ody. Such an inspection is Of at least NJ
much importance Us the inspection Of ant
cleaning Of yards and alleys.

BALL AND BAT.
The Memphis Team Likely to Do Better
Today.


A critical examination OF the official
score OF the game between Memphis and
Chattanooga, in the last-named city, Sat
urday, April 20, shows that Memphis did
the best playing, although Chattanooga
came out winner. Memphis made but
three errors, Chattanooga Ave; Memphis
made seven base hits. Chattanooga but
FIVE Memphis probably lost through
Riddles allowing six balls to pass him.
Bauswine struck out twelve men, made
two hits, stole base, and proved himself
a ball player. Allthe boys put up fault
less game except Riddle, who showed up
in such fine form at home. Doubtless he
got ratified at playing 10 a strange city, and
will do better next time.

Horse Blankets whichare strong
and have a reputation are always
initiated in poor qualities which
look like them, but having fewer
warp threads are not as strong.
Some dealers buy these poor
limitations for a few cents less and
by saying theyare "just as good"
sell them at the same price as the
strong blankets to parties who do
not know the difference.
You cannot tell whether horse
blankets are strong by the look
or feel, as the warp threads do
not show on the face. How then
are you to knowe
