Colonel J. W. Jenkins, president of last year's Henderson Gamecocks ac companied the visitors, as did a num her of others directly or indirectly interested, and the illumination also attracted a large number of fans who drove out to see what was going on. No trade was made at the time, but the prospect of the lights being re moved caused a feeling of sadness in the hearts ot fans who followed th* fortunes of the Henderson entry in the League last year, and who were made to realize more than aver he roic that that kind of baseball was a Ihing of the past for Henderson, for the time being.
