1t should also be noted that the

hqyed well during the week.
In spite of the large crowds,
there was little or no bOiSterOuS
behavior, and their conduct on
the ship was admirable, quiet

and respectful, entirely proper.
Compared with the people of
their race in other Louisiana
towns, We must say, that those
here are, in every way, better.
The sailors were SO proud of
winning that they carried their
team from the field on their
shoulders, and during the entire
