BASE BALL.
At New Orleans.

New Orleans July 30-The wonderful ball that New Orleans has been playing the past few days was continued again today in the opening game with Celum- bus, and for the fifth successive time in the present home series the losing team failed to score run. Smith kept up the fast pace he set against Mobile and had the visiting batters mystified and only six hits were made off him. two of which were in one inning. Petty was very ef- fective, only four hits being secured off him. The fielding of both teams was per- feet. Smiths success in shutting out op- posing teams is the talk of the town. This makes the fourth in succession. Score:

influence was too powerful. Besides it
was the general sense of the delegates
that the logic of the situation required
the nomination of an Eastern man for
vice president. The nominating
speeches were brief. Bulkeley Of Con-

General Walker of Virginia were also
placed in nomination and it only re-
quired one ballot to determine the con-
