On Saturday last we announced the fact that the Atlantic Coast Line had purchased a controlling interest in the Richmond. Fredericksburg & Potomac R. R., a link in their great system which they had long desired. The pub lication was made on the same day in the Baltimore Sun, the Richmond Dis patch and the Wilmington Review and in no other papers. North or South. The following, clipped from the Sun, will give some ot the preliminaries ol the purchase: Yesterday the Richmond. Freder icksburg and Potomac Railroad was acquired by the purchase of a majority of the stock by the Atlantic Coast Line. The negotiations, which have been ia protrres3 for some time, were concluded in Philadelphia through Mr. Wm. T. Walters, of Baltimore. The entire controlling interest of Mr. Moncure Robinson and his friends (father of Mr. John M. Robinson, of the Seaboard and Roanoke and Bay Line Companies), was bought out. The road is eighty mile3 long, and formerly connected at Aquia Creek with tbe Potomac steam ers. Since thu building of toe line from Alexandria to Quantico, ten or twelve years ago, however, the Potomac steamers have not been regularly used, and through travel and business went by rail via the Richmond and Freder icksburg Road. The acquisition of this important link, therefore, com pletes the Coast Line system unbroken from the South to Quantico. thirty miles South of Washington, where they connect with the Pennsylvania Rail road, with which they are in entire harmony and have the most intimate interchange of relations. The acqui sition also completes the line from the great lakes and New York to Tampa, Florida, on the Gulf of Mexico, from which point the new line to Havana by steamers will depart, making its short est possible line. To both the Pennsy1 vania Railroad Com pan v and the Coast Line the control of the eiehty miles link just acquired is an important considera tion. The Atlantic Coast Line is composed now of the Richmond; Fredericksburg and Potomac, the Richmond and Petersburg, the Petersburg, the Wil mington and Weldon, the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta, and the North eastern railroads and connecting lines, Mr. Harry Walters, ot Baltimore, is general manager of all these lines, and Messrs. W. T. Walters and B. F. New comer are among the leading directors. The Wilmington and Weldon Com pany will on June 1 formally lease the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Road, and the Wilmington and Weldon Company will also this month com mence the construction of a line of seventy miles from Wilson to Fayette vilie, N. C It was stated on Thursday last that the Virginia and Carolina Railroad, which runs from Ridgeway, N. C, through Petersburg, Va., to Richmond, had been sold to the syndi cate owning the Atlantic Coast Line railroads The system is being extend ed and strengthened at different points, and is the most profitable and one of the most important in the South. Mr. H. B. Plant is a director in the Atlantic Coast Line companies, and that system is in affiliation with the roads of which Mr. Plant is president. These are the Charleston and Savannah, the Savan nah. Florida and Western, and the South Florida railroads, which give a direct route into Florida. Base Ball. The first game of the season of the series of games to be played by the North Carolina Base Ball League came off yesterday afternoon at the Seaside Grounds, in this city. The contestants were the Seasides, ot Wilmington, and the Raleiehs. of Raieigh. As it had been announced that ladies and chil dren would be admitted to the grounds free, there was a large assemblage present, estimated by many at 1,500 people. The came was called at 4 o'clock, with Mr. H M. Emerson as umpire, and was hotly contested from the beginning to the end. Both nines did excellent work, but from the first the odds were in favor of the Raleighs on account of the masterly pitching of Mr. Ryan, and they were the victors by a score of 4 to 1 for the Seasides. The Seasides did some fine fielding, but with the bat they found it next to im possible to bit Ryan's balls. Kurtz, the catcher of the Seasides, was sick, but will be all right in this- afternoon's game. The best players seemed to be Ryan. Fitzsimmons and Separk, of the Raleighs, and Beery, Koochogey and Carmichael, ot the Seasides, although Waddell and Rosenthal, of the latter, did very fine fielding. The follow.ing was the 6core by inn ings: Raleigh. .0 2 0 0 1 1 0 0 0-4 Sea ide . 0 0 4) 0 0 0 0 0 l-l Delegates were appointed by tbe Wil mington Light Infantry to attend the picnic of tbe Sumter (S.
