Not only has Hot Springs park, but
it has many admirers of the national

ball game attracts hundreds and there
can be no question about the gate re-

The city is only two hours ride from
Pine Bluff over the Pine Bluff and
Western road, and about seven hours
ride from Memphis. The connections
with this city are perfect for the Pine
Bluff and Western will be in opera
tion before the season opens.
The advantages to Pine Bluff of hav-
ing Hot Springs in the league are
many, and again this season efforts
We're made to throw this city out OF
the circuit because of the long Jump

having another Arkansas city in the

Many of the ball enthusiasts in this
city favor The plan Of admitting Hot
Springs, and an effort will be made to
do so There is no doubt but what
it can be done if HIT Springs will
only take the matter up Hot Springs
would make a fine addition to the
league, as it would accord to the
game a larger patronage than any OF

"Sir: l am obliged to perform what Is to
me a painful duty, viz, to report to the
chief of ordnance that all the military
stores at this place were seized this morn
ing by the order of the governor Of the
state of Florida. A company Of volunteer
soldiers marched to the barracks and took
possession of me- and demanded peaceable
possession of the keys of the fort and mag
azine. / demanded them to show me their
authority. An aid-de-camp of the governor
showed me his letter of instructions au-
thorizing him to seize the property, and d1-
recting him to use what force might be
necessary.
Upon reflection l decided that the only
alternative for me was to deliver the keys,
under protest, and demand a receipt for
the property. One thing certain, with the
exception Of the guns composing the arma-
ment of the water battery, the property
seized is of no great value. The gentle
