Ante-Bellln1 Floating Palaces
of the Alabama River and the
.t Good Old Times In Dixie
No. II

The stories of high tide on the beautiful
Alabama would not be complete without
mention of one who spent almost his en-
tire life at the desks of some of those
handsome steamers, one whose every
thought and act brought sunshine to those
with whom he came in contact.
Stuart W. Cayce was a frail specimen
of manhood, yet his soul dubbed over
with mirth He was the happy originator
of wit of the most elevating order, and
not an eremy had he on either bank of
the two 7. 5rs that rolled out to the gulf.
Chief clerk for many years on the
Meahers' line of packets, the William
Jones, Jr., r. b. Quincy, Car and the
Southern Republic. he was the pleasant
companion, the true friend, and the loyal
employee of all who trusted him. He was
early called to aid his country as lieu
tenant colonel of, the Twenty-first Ala
bama infantry, and with his brave COM
rades distinguished himself in the holly
contested battle of Shiloh.
Many of the ante-bellum planters took
passage on this opposition line as much
to enjoy the companionship of Stuart
Cayce as to show their aversion TO the
Combination Line" for while never
making himself hero, Cayce could in
terest a crowd for hours at a time with
never joke told which could not be re-
peated before the wives and daughters
of his listeners.
Being a fine judge of human nature. he
could entertain the clergy as well as the
rough element of mankind We recall a
very amusing incident connected with
his life. Happening on board one IF the
Meaher packets, we overheard CONVEX
sation between Cayce and a pine knot
resident of upper Mobile county, a blue
jeans specimen who had evidently been
reared on goats milk and whisky, sup
porting himself and family with rod and
gun In the wilds back of the United
States arsenal at Mount Vernon. 1t seems
he had previously shipped by the same
boat a sack Of gophers, to supply the
noted restaurants of Mobile with genuine
green turtle soup, and had now made the
distance of some rs or 30 miles by pony

ting Young" Pichot of this city and Kid" Downham billed from New York, but now residing in the vii cinity of the Sand Bank" went through contortions that were gro tesque more than humorous. Educa- tion in boxing is the thing that has ben sadly overlooked by this pair, for their movements and antics were of such nature, that it is likely that the only rudiments that they nave acquired are the wearing of tights and boxing gloves At times P1chot resembled the mysterious Kel- lar in his acts of slight of hand, by waving his hands in front of his op- ponents face, as if he was about to hypnotize him.. To those who have never seen Ted" Coy or other foot ball stars make some of their won derful tackles on the gridiron, all they have got to do is to watch Down ham in action, for instead of blocking as regular fighter, he grabs his opponent about the waist and hangs on for dear life. The pace was very slow according to Pichot who in the fourth round yelled at his opponent, Come on, come on," and Downham did as ordered and planted several alleged blows in the face of Pichot. There seemed to be somewhat un- pleasantness between the fighters, but it must still exist for no damage was done last night other than to their feelings.
 A crowd of about 75O was in at- tendance and at times it grew bois- terous, and Chief Rawlings was forced to warn Referee Willis that if it did not stop he would stop the show.

PIONEERS VS. RED MEN SHOULD BE A FAST ONE
City's Fastest Representatives Of Ma tfonaI Pastimc to Open Series
 Tomorrow.

New Britain's baseball fans are interested in the series of games be- tween the Red Men, champions of the Fraternal league, and the Pion- eers, pride of the South End, which will open tomorrow at the Ellis street grounds at o'clock. The game was scheduled for last Sunday, but was postponed because of the rain. The Red Men were the class of the Fraternal league and it was with ease that they grabbed first place early in the season and re- mained out in front throughout the race. Much of their success was due to their heavy hitting and their excellent staff of pitchers. The team is well balanced and plays a dash ing, chance-taking game in the field and on the bases.
 The Pioneers need no introduction to local fans. They have been play ing a consistent game for several sea- sons and their supporters look to them to swamp the Fraternal bunch in three straight victories. The teams will line up as follows:-
 Red Men-Begley, If; Brenneck, 2b; Fusari, 3b; Abrahamson, cf; J. Wright, c; T. Wright, ss; Foberg, h, Robertson, If; Oberg or Peterson, P.
 Pioneers--Clancy, 3b; Norton or Campbell, If; Blinn, of; Conlon, 2b; Fitzpatrick or Flanagan, 1b; Noonan c; s. Dudjack, If; Hinchliffe. ss; w. Dudjack, Johnson or WinlSler, D.; Rosanna of Hartford will umpire.

carded as Young" Fulton but whose real name was Kid" Damifino or something like that. The "mill' went until the third round when the near fighter" feeling that he had enough took a flop on the mat after one Of Joe's right smashes had connected squarely on his "mush.' He rose in a few seconds but Chief Rawlings who was at the ringside waved to the referee and the bout" terminated. There never was 8 minute that the boxer" from the Big City, was in the mill and after Joe had solved his particular style, he being a southside fighter, it was simply a parade for the Capital Cityite. The substitution for Fulton was another one of the tricks pulled off by the 'slickers" from New York, but to this city they might as we'll bid adieu, farewell.
 Hold Your Nose.
 Since boxing has been pulled off in this city, it seems to have been the intention of the matchmakers to give the fans one of those side split ting atrocities called the curtain rais- CTS, in which local boys featured. To this end the management last evening carried out it's intentions for in put
