PUBLIC MEETING.
Tne Proposed New Conner Halloing
and' tbe PuMle circle Plaenaaed at
tne Opera HoneRolntlone Fa
voring tne improvement Adopted.
The meeting of citizens held last night
at the Opera House, pursuant to the call
published in the STAay was largely at
tended. ' .
The meeting was organized by calling
Mr. W. E.Cakler to the chair, who re
turned thanks for the honor conferred and
stated that as the object of the meeting had
already been set forth, he deemed it un
necessary to go into full particulars. He
said that the question to be asked was
whether the proposed improvements by the
county weie necessary or expedient; and
whether the people were able to bear the
cost, should be answered by those who
paid the taxes.
Mr. J. I. Macks was elected secretary.
It was then moved and the motion was
adopted, that all the CtoiniU , Commission
ers present be invited to ea&&i the stand.
Messrs. Worth, Bagg, Moore and Mont

Mr. Latimer, on invitation, then ex

as already published. t
On motion a committee of three was ap

buildings at an annual interest thereon of
5 per cent; therefore, be it
Resolved. That the said plan meets with
the hearty approval of this meeting, and

may seem best.
Second, That in tne furtherance or said

MAY 26,1886,
BASE BALL. .
Ten-Inning GameHIarlon Again
Vietorlou.
The Seasides led off yesterday with some
of the hitting we predicted they would do
and played a prettier and more interesting
game than the one of the day before. If
any one ever doubted the necessity of a
good battery to make a game both close
and exciting, the experience of the past two
days has removed all dubiousness on that
subject. Conian and Kurtz formed the
battery for the Seasides, and as Conian has
not caught a game in a number of years it
was a surprise to many that he did so well
in the difficult and trying position he occu
pied. Considering everything he is to be
congratulated on his pluck and nerve and
the manner in which he did his duty yes
terday. There is plenty of material for a
good ball player in him, and he only needs
a little development and practice to makes
good man to put behind tbe bat. Kurtz's
finest play was his easy, graceful catch of
a hot liner. Rosenthal did all expected of
him at first, and Waddell played his
position as well as could be desired. We
have been conversant with base ball for a
number of years and have watched with
interest and the eye of a critic, many
games and playerB, but Ed Moore played
second base yesterday with more vim and
dash, with more intelligence and tact, than
any man we have ever seen on that bag,
professional or otherwise. He covered
right short, backed first base, played the
field, and with one exception of a hard hit
grounder, stopped everything, caught
everything and fielded everything with
neatness and rapidity. Let him hanjt up
and put on his bathing stockings again, and
you will find in him a ball player. '
The Marion boys played well with; the
exception of the first inning, which was
loose and ragged. They batted Kurtz un
til the fielders grew tired of running to the
fence and on the hill for balls, and their
fielding average was far above that of
Monday. Their pitcher mixed up the home
team and barring the first and third innings
he was not hit either hard orjoften enough
to enable the Seasides to make a run in six
consecutive innings, and yet it has. been
whispered that the home team contained
ono or two who could tell a straight ball
from a curve, and each had bats that con
tained no less than one or two home runs,
and innumerable two and three baggers in
tbem. These bats were sawed off to regu
lation length and weighed exactly enough
to give them the proper propelling force,
but they must have been out of fix for the
last two days or the boys have forgotten
how to use them . Woods played well and
Garner at first held some difficult balls and
made some creditable stops of wildly
thrown balls.
The Marion boys deserve the game, they
won it fairly and played hard for it. There
is no use disguising the fact that they out
batted the Seasides, and Andrews and Davis
out batteried" Kurtz and Conian. We
hope for better luck next time, but South
Carolina has the honors now and wears
them justly.
