the reception A profusion of fresh flowers adorned every room to which guesta were admitted and the refreeliment table where a bevy of charming young ladies did the honors was likewise covered with flowers It wiala distinguished gathering including nearly every man of note in Nashville surnaming in this respect any gathering in Nashville for many years Judges Senators men of letters men of wealth and leisure and handsomely dressed women gave the affair an exceptional tone and must have recalled to the minds of Mr Bancroft and the venerable lady the times when they ere daily surrounded with brilliant men and women at Washington when many of the guests of last night were yet unborn The grave dignity and gmce of manner that distinguished their cordial reception was a subject of Bon Mrs Polk was attired in her usual quiet habit of dress and a flush of pride gave a ruddy glow to her still bdautiful and placid face Mr Bancroft himself felt inspired by the occasion and inspirited by the scene and indulged himself in much gallantry and witty repartee His eye was bright his form erect his conversation quirk his sympathy responsive his manner genial Nothing was absent to make it a memorable occasion and one the younger generation present will refer to in years to come with pride Mrs Fall was handsomely attired in a black silk and was in gracious accord with the surroundings Miss Fall was a picture of loveliness in a bright toilette that added to a natural grace of manner and of a beautiful figure The reception lasted two hours Mr Bancroft then returned to his hotel with memories of an honorable period of his life revived and impressed with the beauty and Culture of the home of tbe Executive he served so many years ago To-day the distinguished visitor will be driven

afternoon To-day however at 8:30 o'clock the Nashville and Charleston teams will meet again Each will put its best foot foremost and th? contest will be a bard one Billy Taylor and Grady will be the battery for the visitors and Corcoran and Nicholas for the locals The fact that these two twirlers will face one another will certainly draw a big crowd There le trouble in the local camp It has been In existence for several As a result Mr Jack Hayes probably the best known player of the Nashville team and a general favorite was yesterday fined 50 and suspended without salary for an indefinite length of time The management declare that he has canoed them much trouble and bas shown himself to be very unruly That he is a disorganizer and an insurrectioniets and has already stirred up no end of trouble amongst the players and between players and the management At any rate the latter have taken the bull calf by the horns and are holding a stiff upper lip They propose they say to run the ball team and not according to the dictation of any disgruntled player Hayes' name will pot appear in the score card to-day and another catcher is being negotiated for From this time on it will be Capt Steve Mathias Manager Bradley yesterday awarded to the second baseman the honor of the appointment and in hie bands will be the destinies of the club while on the diamond Mathias has appointed Jimmie Clinton to be assistant captain Both are efficient and popular players To The American: Your suggestion made' yesterday regarding the proposed change in the fielding and batting order of the Nashville club in my opinion is very timely and should be adopted by the management at once It is a conceded fact that the greatest weakness of the locals Iles in their very inferior base running One superior base runner would infuse more spirit and dash into their playing than a dozen coachers and very likely result in gaining more rune than as many base hits tinder Use present regime Jo Diestel as a fielder stands the equal of any player in the country as a base runner the superior of any member of the local nine and Is a fait batter The public have grown weary of listless playing and unsuccessful attempts at base stealing and In return for their support should to say tile least be given the benefitof everything that will contribute to their enjoyment WEJ NEW ORLEANS 4 Lonna NEW
