For 1858 the local diamond is to be under a new regime. The regular annual meeting of the local association was held at the oftice of John Dougherty last evening. The attendance was . large and en- thusiasm much large After a somewlh exhaustive canvass of ballist erally, the new board of dircctors as follows: J. 8. McCormick, J. J.

Hardin Vice president, John Dougherty treasurer, and H. A, Worley secretar, This is a fine selection of officers and Omaha can only rely upon a competent, able and eficient management of her base ‘ball affairs for the ensuing year. So far as the franchise for the new associa- tion is concerned, satisfactory arrangements 88 1o the disposition were made with its pos- sesasor, Mr. Joseph Garneau, jr., and no fur- ther perplexity as far as it is concerned is to be apprehended, Matters could not be upon amore amicable and encouraging footing than they are, and the sport-loving people of Omaha can rest perfectly sccure in the as- surance that next season they will witness an entirely different spocies of base ball from that which was inflicted upon them throughout the season just closc the consummation of a vast neous business at the meeting. last night, the capital stock of the association was increased from &5,000 to 15,000, making the new stock £10,000, Fifty per cent of this is to be paid down, 25 per ecnt on the 1st of April, and the balance on the 1st of June. Sixte share were subscribed by th members and a committee will be on the Monday with & paper to make up the desired quota. This will entail but little trouble, as some of the most promi- nent men of the city have signified a desire to subscribe liberally under certainconditions. The conditions have been brought abont and the full amount of the capital stock will be forthcoming s di 1l Omaha base ball affairs within for zhit hours will be upon asolid foundation Of the team next season there is little ad- ditional to be said.

A howiug club, in wfii\'h County Attorney Simeral and Lee telle will take much interest, is to be an- ized here next spring. In view of this club, Mr, Patterson, owner of many flue bivds, writes the Bee from New York with refer- ence to homing pigeons: “Every homing pigeon bred is regi together with & pedigree, owne: mother and father, und th pedigr ‘This informatio associution fc pigeons. a number registered with the sccreta strauge pigeon should stray in here orone get shot, upon secing the pigeon I would mediately write to the secretary giving number found upon the bird.

All owners purchase little scamless metal bands of the association. ‘These bunds bear the owner's registered number and are vaced upon the leg of the pigeon two or hree days after they are hatched out. 1t is by these bands we know to whom a carrier belongs if a strange one chances to fall in our hands. I think the lov of sport in Omaha will derive much pleasure and benefit (rom & homing club. The fiying of pigeons is very popular here in York, and in fact throughout all the ecastorn cities.

To-day he issued a challenge offering to fight Conley to a fin- ish with kid gloves for #100 and the gate re- ceipts, and deposited §250 forfeit. Conley has been asking for a n h all along and now a chance is presented. The Ashland man has a number of stalwart friends, who say they will back him for any reasonable amount. Conley would a_little rather meet Clow, it appears, and wants to arrange o round contest to take place at Ashland. eral months ago Clow refused g0 to Ashland, expressing the lief that he would not receive treatment in Conley’s town. It was said ye terduy that Clow’s manager, not feeling any too well over the showing his man made with Glover, had made up his mind not to have anything to do with the Colorado man unless he accepted Conley's challenge and went to Ashland.
