AUTHOR OF LOUISIANA. J

Hiram w. Hayes. the author of the historical extravaganza, Louisiana" which is having a run this summer at Delmar gar den, the largest summer resort in the Worlds Fair city, is a New Yorker by birth. He is a graduate of the University of Rochester and a newspaper man of some note, having held promi- nent positions on the leading pa pers in New York, Rochester, Toledo and Kansas City, but late resigning the position of dramatic editor of the St. Louis Post-Dis- patch to give all of his time to this new enterprise.
 At present all of St. Louis is agog over this wonderful produc- tion which MT. Hayes has launch- ed in the Worlds Fair city. Nothing quite so elaborate or realistic was ever before seen in St. Louis. A real river of water surrounds the stage upon which real boats sail. The costumes are the finest ever used upon any stage, the caps used by the path finders alone costing $500. The piece abounds in new and strik- ing features.

 mond An Easy Victory.


 The team known as. the Out casts" in Walnut Ridge came down Wednesday to try conclu- sions with the Newport boys and returned home that night with a score of 9 to- in which the short end represented the number of runs scored to the credit of the visitors.
 The game was umpired by R. T. Simmons very satisfactorily to both sides and is said to have been a very fair exhibition of amateur ball. Smiling Bob" Randy, who has become noted for his smiles as we'll as the twirls and twists he can give the sphere, upheld his reputation in the box most superbly and al- lowed the Walhoxie aggregation very little exercise in running bases.
 A fair crowd witnessed the game, which was played in Chas- tain's addition. The interest that has been revived in this popular sport promises to awake Newport s spirit next season to organize a team of her own.
 The lineup was as follows:
