A Card of Thanks.

Mother Hyacinthe and her
sisters from Carencro wish to
extend their sincere thanks to
all those who have cooperated to
the success of the Fair given for
the benefit of the Catholic school,
which is under their direction:
particularly to the ladies and
gentlemen who had charge of the
tables. In spite of the threaten
ing weather Of last Sunday, the
Fair ground was crowded from
twelve to 2 O'Clock the next
morning. The good people of
Carencro can truly boast of
their devotedness and generosity,
for the gross receipts of the Fair
amount to 1895. SIS. A special
mention of thanks and graft

Fathe-. Grimaud. for the interest
he has taken in the success of
the Fair and his help in every
respect.

ABOLISH SUNDAY BALL.
National League Also Expects to Raise
Admission Price.

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 10.-Gossip has
it that the National league magnates
are seriously considering the advisable
ity of doing away with Sunday base
ball and at the same time raising the
price of admission.
Discussing the proposed changes,
one National league magnate had the
following to say:
II never did believe in Sunday ball,
simply as a pure business proposition,
and 1 believe that in a year or two
it will be dropped in the National
league. The change in all disability
will not be made next year, but the
scheme will come in for serious dis
cussion at the November meeting.
IT am not attempting to make a
hypocritical bluff at posing as a re-
former, and am only talking against
Sunday ball for strictly business rea-
sons. Under the existing conditions
the western clubs draw tremendous
crowds on Saturdays and Sundays, but
you must remember that the bulk of
these crowds consists of the 25-cent
people. The other five days the
crowds are absurdly small, unless the
home team happens to be in first place
or right on the heels of the leader
81 would much prefer to play to an
average attendance of 1000 or 5000
people six days in the week than to
take chances on the weather and
draw 10000 people on a Sunday and
practically nothing on the other six
dayS,''

Lord, but he is a silent man. Now you
just fix him out as the worst rowdy in

Haney. His teammates say that he is
always up to something or other and
that they are made the victims of his
good pitcher. He is a South-paw, and
has some speed and few benders. But
his forte is control. He is lucky dog
