sumed considerable timo.
Mr, Barksdale sought to amend the
provision in the bill for the appointment
tid Interim of an attorney-general in tlie

gesting that the Court of Appeals choose

ther contest tin.?-proposition.

CANED ALL OF HIS
FELLOW-SENATORS
Happy Address Made by Mr.
Graham Claytor, of
Bedford.
The members and employes of the State
Senate were yesterday tho recipient? of
hickory canes presented by Messrs. Ryd
nor & Hundley, The presentation of these
cones In tho Sennte was made by Hon.
Graham Claytor, of Bedford, In one of
the wittl??at and happiest speeches of tho
kind made at this session, Ho made some
very enjoyable lilts in pure pleesaritry at
his fellow members all of which wero re?
ceived with laughter and applause?.
Mr. Claytor stated In tho be-glnnlne
that he now had an opportunity of can?
ing thoso of his fellow-members who had
antagonized his bills and made him tho
target for the merriment of his fellow
senators occasionally." He would cane the
gentleman from Orange because he sel?
dom looked' pleased except when he (the
speaker) had voted for one of hla meas?
ures, Colonel Willnrd, tha presiding of?
ficer, shouTd have two canes for the rea?
son that It was currently reported that ho
aspired to rise higher than his present
ofllce. If ho found that two were not
needed he might givo one to some of,'
his friends.
Colonel Button, the efliclc-nt clerk, was
now getting old nnd was ?'.111 a bachelor
starling down tho hill of life. Ho? would
need a cane to lean upon In his descent.
The sergeant-at-arms and tho doorkeep?
er needed good, stout sticks for they la?
bored hard to keep order In the.-re clos?
ing dayB and showed signs of fatigue.
Furthermore, they had no free passes,
had spent all their money and would
havo to walk home and so would Hnd a
cane very helpful. Tho senator from Hal?
ifax would need one to proteot him from
the wrath of his constituents when he got
home, for he had made so many speech?
es that he had not given his fellow-mem?
bers a chance. Mr. Gunter he would
tame because though a new member ho
had talked Incessantly, monopolizing the
attention of the Senate,
This sally provoked gre&t laughter for
the reason that Mr. Gunter has thus far
had nothing to say, except to vote when
his name was called. In this way the
Bedford senator made happy hits at
many of the senators. For an extempo?
raneous hit of speaking, U could hardly
have been happier, and tho speaker was
warmly complimented.

THE GAME
IS MARRED
Kicking Spoils the First Play
of the Season.
PETERSBURG IS WINNER
The Game Somewhat In the Nature of
a Gift to Prevent Endless Dispute.
The Playing Good on Bolh
Sides.
. When Mayor Taylor tossed tho first
ball over the pan at Broad Street Park
yesterday in the Initial game of tho sea?
son between Richmond nnd Petersburg,
faiidom went wild with excitement, for
thoy tintlcpated a battle royi.l and a
contest between sportsmen. But ere two
innings? had been played out tholr cher?
ished hopes had been dashed hy thn dis?
putatious disposition of CSptaln Brock
well, of tho Petersburg tonni. Overlook?
ing this fact, ' the game wns quito excit?
ing and deeply interesting, resulting ln
a victory for tlio visitors by a score of
7 to 5. In reality, the result was nothing
loss than a gift on the part of Captain
Hicks, of the Richmond club, who, nitlior
than squabble, submitted lo a number
c? : claims made bv Brockwel'.
THREATENED TO QUIT,
Tho contest should havo been forfeited
to Richmond In tho fourth Inning, when
Brockwell culled hie mon off the Hold
nnd threatenc;_ to go home. Ho was
roundly .leered and hissed for thin net.
Over 1,200 people had gone to the park
to witness tlio gamo and enjoy tho Inau?
guration of. the professional nenson.
They oame away disgusted with what
they :h__ witnessed, nnd a tow moro
such trlok?. b.v any team will queer the
g.itr.o for good nnd r.H In Rlcl?i,ii'id.
?But the game: Tho playing was? fust
and dandy, th. Richmond team nuIkltiK
only ono error?and this was quito os
much an error ln Jtidgmnet an In playing,
but It cost a run, and tallies woro dea?.
McEvoy nnd Charters did tho .twirling
respectively for Richmond and Peters?
burg, tho latter having ,i shndo tho bet?
ter of tb.T argument, yielding fjwer lilts
and having a bit botter control. In th*
Etxl.it nnd seventh Innings Mc'-iVoy Ifft
the earth jo: a space, allowing f.va hits,
which rsi'jped In six of tbo eo/eii ?u.?i
made by tlio visitors, Ho no;omp5n!?i1
these safe r.wats by tno bulk and a bane
or. balls.
The |,ame was enough full of thrills

with the ?,.???,.-. kicking and fi..)ucnt
presen?.?? _y Ti-'-hmond to the Pot?r?'j'jrg

last man was out In tho ninth lunlns?
PETERSBURG LUCiCt*.
Petersburg was i'ortunate in mors ways
the ti ono. In ri*dltion ti tnckllru? nn
affible and ?v'1.1 if lot of gentlemen,
luci: wa? with thorn, which It priven l-y
tho manner In which tho last and win?

?i"cxr>cc.c>?cl and ?infortunato b.??!?! of ?
meiisly slnsrle to center fiold developed
into a threo-biiggor, allowing a man to
score.
I'ntll thfl fourth inning neither tenni
made a run. Then Hicks was given a.
base on balls, which seemed rjulte right
t'o'overy one except Sir. Brockwell, who
?was in no position to pea the pan accu?
rately. He declared that unleg? Hicks
waa called out for stopping out of the
liritsm?h'F box ho would go home The
team threatened to accompany him, so
HlckH simply declared himself out, the
umpire refusing to say ye.a or nay. The

when President Hammond announced
that Interstate rules would be strictly
observed as follows: Unknown traps and
unknown angles,
Tho members readily obeyed Mr. Ham?
mond, and even tlio trappers carried out
Mr. Lynhum's Instructions to change an?
gles on overy bird and throw thorn "good
and strong," but the boys pulverized
them as though they had not heard _f tho
new rules,
In the extra events, Messrs, H. Brown,
McLolland and Johnson broke 21 oui of a
possible 26. Mr. Hammond was high
gun, and made a, run ot 25 straight. Mr.
Harper Dean, the old veteran trap shot,
demonstrated that ho was still In the ring.
Those grounds are the prettiest nnd most
accessible In the city, with a club mem?
bership of 26 active shooters,
