From day to day he has delayed to order the requested changes, so that the establishment presents to day materially the same aspect as at our last visit. In approaching the place we were favored by a light breeze, so that we had the full benefit to test the nature of the odor emanating from said place, which defies any description. We therefore heartily indorse the request of the neighborhood of this establishment, and recommend to the honorable City Couaoil to take the neoessary steps for the abatement of the nuisance.

The President said he had applied to Surgeon General Hamilton, of the Marine Hospital Service, to give this board official information of the ports at which yellow fever exists, and that he had just then received a telegram from the Surgeon General in which he stated that in addition to the ports of Vera Cruz. Havana and Rio de Janeiro, yellow fever also exists at Cienfnegos, atari as, Santiago and Cardenas in the Island of Cuba; that it is reported, bat not officially, at Tampioo, Mexico, also at Pen aacola. The matter was discussed' as to the necessity of incorporating these additional ports in the non interoourse proclamation. Mr. Booth then offered the ollowinc Whereas, authentio information having been this day communicated to the board by Surgeon General Hamilton to the effect that he had official informa tion of the existence ef yellow fever at certain ports and places in addition to the porta of Vera Cruz, Havana and Rio de Janeiro, to say, the ports of Santiago, Clenfuegos, Matanras and Cardenas; therefore be it Retolvtd, That the additional ports recited in the preamble be and are hereby declared infected and placed under the same restrictions in regard to communication as are now maintained towards the ports already specially interdicted in the existing proclamation.

Adopted. It was also resolved that as the approach by land from is now thoroughly guarded, vessels arriving by sea be detained ten davs in quarantine until further notice, out in case ef an emergency or of further unfavorable news from Pensacola, a meeting of this board be at once called to take action to the extent of non intercourse. The President stated that there were before the board applications from ship agents for admission to the city of their vessels as follows: By Woodward Sc. Wight, agents of the steam schooner Sidbnry, now detained at Quarantine, and by A. B.

French fc agents of the British steamship Plassy, now detained at the month of the Mississippi River. The Plassy cleared from Montevideo in Uruguay, bound for Barbadoes, but being snort ox ooal toucnea at Square Island in the Bay of Rio de Janeiro, bat two and a quarter miles from Rio. The President said it had been contended that there were no precedents for sending ships jnfected or suspected from ports to which they were bound, but there were plenty of precedents. A ship from Alexandria, Egypt, loaded with rags, and bound for New York, had been sent away from that port recently because she was supposed to be infected with cholera poison. Ships had been sent from Pensacola.

Galveston and other ports to Ship Island, and there was no lack of precedent. Thetboard went into executive session to consider the application above noted but when the doors were opened it was found that they had been refused. The board then adjourned. Mr. French said to a reporter after the decision of the board was made known, that he intended to test the son intercourse policy in the United States courts, and had placed the case in the hands of Hon.

J. R. Beckwith. as he did not believe there was any power in the State to close a port against his ships.

The frequent overflow of the streets in the business and resident portions of the city snows tnat tnere is a delect in the construction of the street gutters and bridges.

Mr. Elder referred to Information he had received concerning the bad condi tion of the Bienville machine. Mr. Koha's motion was ado ted. Dr.

Watkins, Sanitary Director, said the health of the city was remarkably good for this season, and if small pox could be excluded the sanitary condition would be very satisfactory. Very few cases oi malarial lever were met with. He concluded that New Orleans was in no way jeopardized by the yel low fever in Pensacola owing to the strictness of the sanitary cordon. Small pox. the Doctor said, was not decreasing as had been expected in hot weather, since 19 deaths occurred last week.

The association was largely in terested in preventing the spread of mail dot. Something must be done. The decrease in tne death rate rrom bo to i'J was one more to weather and isolation of cases than to other causes. With the return of cold weather the disease would become more active. Dr.

Watkins said he had prepared an article on the subject of compulsory vaccination, which he would have printed, and place the same in the hands ox tne memDers ox tne city council. Mr. Kohn moved that the sanitary police officers under the direction of the association be instructed to report to the Sanitary Director each week the infected houses, to enable the asso ciation to act on the facts. Dr. Watkins said he approved of im mediate steps being taken to check the disease.

He said he was assured by the association that, if the Council passed the compulsory vaccination ordinance, the means would be famished him to ayvsiin at all neraons who miffht annlv. After transacting some general busi ness the meeting adjourned. TKLKPnORB TO DOM AXDSONTDLL.E. Mr. W.

The Base Ball League held a special meeting last night. Messrs, Donovan and Dnscoll, of the Lees; Owens, Tra cey and Stewart, of the Stars, and Brown. Mooney and Landry, of the Brennans, were present. The resignation of Wm. F.

Miller as an umpire was received. J. Berkery, Thos. Barrett and John H. Hisgen were elected official umpires.

Mr. Wm. F. Tracey was the only one of the old staff of umpires who remained faithful to his post. The minute books were looked over, and it was found that a rule existed that the elub ahead on the 'first Sunday in October was to be daciared the champion.

On motion oi Mr. Landry it was agreed to postpone the date of the close of the championship series until all the schedule games were played. Mr. Owens moved that the xonrth se nes of games be commenced next Sun day, which makes the game on that day between the JLees and stars. The vote resulted in a tie, and the motion was declared lost.

Mr. Landry moved that the Lees and Brennans play next Sunday to complete the second series, and that the other games which the Brennans missed while on their tour be played after the fourth series was finished. This brought about considerable discussion between the Stars and Brennans, and the debate waxed warm. Finally Landry glanced at his hand, which was very sore rrom an accident on the tram, and thonght of his inability to pitch. I withdraw my motion," said he, and the Stars will play the Lees next Sunday.

Mr. Brown moved that each club con tribute 10 at the next meeting for a pennant to belong to the League, and to be Played for annually, carried. The meeting then adjourned. The las aad Oata ef Carve Plaeklag. The Philadelphia Press, in an article on puzzling pitching, says: There are many people who believe in an "up" curve and a down" curve, an in" curve and an 'out" curve, a zig zag and a "double" curve, and mn.

a.n1 "ahrvtla'' an I and fast and slow balls to mato h. "That's all a mistake," said Matthews, while talking over some of his experiences. "I never saw but one curve, and never made any more. Of course, a ball will shoot in a little distance, but you can't hold that kind of a ball so as to make a curve out of it. The only genuine curve is the one which turns out from the batsman, bat, after two or three ot that kind a straight ball, if it is properly pitched, looks as if was turning the other way.

Drop' balls or balls which apparently shoot or curve downwards, are all deceptive work, and are thrown from the highest start the rules allow. Rising balls are the same thing, started from as near the ground as possible and pitched upward. Slowed balls are started slow, with an apparently fast flourish, for if they were ever started fast I don't know what skill could hold them back, and, as to balls which go both in and out. why that ia a manifest impossibility. I know there have been several tests made of that, one particularly at Cincinnati, where four posts were put up and the pitcher required to make the ball go on one side of one and the other side of the next, but I don't think he did it.

It he did it was through some deception in regard to the place where he was standing. No, sir. Good, straight pitching, thorough command over the ball, a good out curve and a good in 'shoot' are what the great pitchers are working with to day, and for my part, don't believe in anything else." The Philadelphia Record the same day says The test at Lancaster of the curve delivery of a ball by Hofford, pitcher for the Ironside Club of that place, noted recently in the Record, did not result in a double curve, as was claimed by a Lancaster paper but an ordinary single curve of unusual extent was thrown. Such experiments have been repeatedly and successfully made. On one Critohley, formerly of Aioany, new xorav tnrew a oauciear around the oorner or a hotel in Geneva, ew York, and Purroy, a New York pitcher, threw a ball from the centre of the pitcher's box.

went over the home plate and struck the catcher's fence, 135 feet distant, twenty two feet to the left of the point where a straight line produced from his standpoint through the home plate would reach the fence. Weidman; of Detroit, and Mo Cormick. of Cleveland, can cause a ball to deflect six feet from a straight line in passing through the fifty feet between pitchers point and home base, and there are probably others who can perform a similar feat.

Satarday'a Regatta at Paas Christinas The regatta at Pass Christian on nrday promises to be one of the greatest yachting events which the South has furnished in the last few years. Tha yacht owners have taken considerable interest in the affair, and the much delaved meeting of the Lady Emma and Silence will take place. These two boats are undoubtedly the queens of the yachts of their size, and a race between them is probably the most interesting sailint contest the regatta can offer to the pub iio. The two boats are ootn in excellent condition for a race and both will bs ia charge of the finest sailors on the coast. John Carney and a Mobile crew will sail the Lady Emma, and it is said that Martin Green, of Biloxi, and a picked crew from that place will sail th Silence.
