ARGENTINE BASEBALL.

Republic.

In continuation Of my studies of pub
lie aIausements | visited The two prin-
cipal establishments. or eaaol.as. where
pslo.d, i sort OF tennis. is played This
game was introduced into the Argentine
by enigrants from the Basque prov.
inces of Spain, where il is chiea,
played, and has now become the great
popular sport OF the blic--the
Argentine baseball. In Euenos Ayres
the trontonSs, or courts where the game
Is played, are immense places with
lofty walls surnorntee by wire net
ting on two sides, and on the other two
sides tiers of seats and boxes for the
public. The walls have hard and
smooth faces: the floor Of the court is
even and level and marked into COM
partnents by black lines. On the end
wall TO the right of the court is the
piZGTrd, or marking board. The PLAYERS
ct Buenos Ayres are professionals, IT,
variably Basques, and the best Of them
come from Spain for the Hispano-
American season, like tenors, or f0rsros.
and with engagements at equally high
salaries. Apart from the celebrity of
the artistes, the game is alw.lys blue
against red. The marking board calls
the players los a:aiss and los ootorados:
they wear blue Basque cloth caps
and red caps; their jerseys are
striped blue and white and red
and white; their sashes or waist
bands are blue and red respective
"; their trousers and shoes are white
The pelotares strike the ball not with
the bare hand, but with costa made Of
osier or wicker work. half round, sharp
~ curved at the end, and measuring
some eighteen inches long. A leather
glove is sewD on this basket, scoop-like
racket, and receives the fingers of the
players right hand. The game is played
with two men on each side. and requires
extraordinary agility and endurance.
The great players are wonderful TO
watch, and in the frenzy Of It's cnthusi-
astic admiration the public throws into
the court sovereigns, ounces. Gillian
conGors, and all the various kinds Of
gold coins that are found in the money

sending trains over the Queen &
Crescent route between New Orleans
and Memphis, but a washout on
the latter route about IL miles
from Vicksburg has c1t off COM

road. The latter's bridge over Big
Black is seriously threatened, as that
stream is now rising an inch an hour
and is over miles long. The situation
along the Mississippi and Louisiana
levees is such that hard fighting will be
required for the next few weeks to
maintain them.

Many points inland, where the storm
was most severely felt, are still isolat-
ed from the surrounding country. and
days must elapse before through freight
and passenger traffic are entirely re-
stored on the branch lines OF the
railroads.
The severity of the storm and the
difficulty OF restoring the lines o. cora
munieation 10 their usual state of
usefulness may be judged from the fact
that an express train which left Ply
mouth ouMonday is still blocked up pear
the Brent river. The passengers are
suffering severely from exposure.
Gangs of laborers numbering hun
dreds have been sent from all direc-
tons to clear the railroad lines in
Dcvonshire and Cornwall, where the
snowdrifts have piled up SO heavily
that cuttings II feet deep have
TO be made through tho snow, which
is now frozen into an almost solid
mass.
The loss to farm stock is enormous,
and will entail much suffering among
the farmers, who have already lost con-
siderable money by the terrible
weather experienced at the end of last
year.
The water mains at Plymouth are
showed up to such an extent that a
force Of zoo soldiers from the garrison
has been sent to assist the water
works employees in clearing them to
an extent which will enable them
to be used. As it is no water
