Gilbert Hatfield Is tbe general utility innn of tbe New Yerk club, and can, with grenl credit te himself, fill nny position en th team, except, probably, that of catcher, snyi the Clipper. He was born Jan. 27, 1SC15, In llobeken, N. J., nml Is a brother of Johnny Hatfield, the once famous professional player and tbe champion long distance, thrower.

In 18M he was re-cngnged hv the Nennrk club, and renialiicl with It until the Buffalo club sold Its "big four" te Detroit, then Iliilfnle purchased Hatfield's release from the Nun ark rlub. and l.e finished the season with the Bisens. In 1SSC he was signed by tbe Portland (Me ) club, of tbe New England league, and steed second In the official nvoragesasn third Inhu man. In eight games that be olllcluted ni pitcher, his opponents maile forty-three base bits and earned only seven runs, nnd be rank ed first In tlie pitching averages at tbe close of tbe season.

In 1S33 he was signed by tbe New Yerk club, and plased In twenty seven championship games, but did net play enough games in nuy ene ihwHIeii te give him n fielding nvernge. However, be mndosecrodltablonshowiiig that lie was re engaged for this je.-ir's team, mid his work thus far has been of the highest order.

FIKEY- BARNES. His Phenomenal Recerd as a . -.. . Jockey. AllOUT HIS DECENT GREAT FEAT. Whining the Junier Champien Stakes en Protection and Then Winning the Cham plen Stake en tVes Angeles The LlttU Fellow's rtecerd en the Tort; Little "Pikey" Barnes, who weighs less than ene hundrwl pounds and Is net yet six teen years old, Is unquestionably one of tbe most remarkable jockeys en the American turf. He liegan his turf career riding for his brother, a Knyette county negre, when jecket iiAnN-ES. he was eight years old, and he looked than much llke a circus monkey en horseback. Ills first regular engagement was with Rob Reb ert Tucker, with whom he remained a jear, nnd then left te go te Capt. Franklin, of s. Nashville, He returned shortly, lie w ever, making up his mind hereafter te stick te Mr. Tucker. Barnes bas always been n sensa tional jockey, although In -his manner he Is very quiet nnd dignified and his great suc cess does net seem te have turned his head. "Ills riding," says an admirer, "possesses the best elements of half a dozen great jockeys. He Is a great ,Judge of pace, llke Murphy, and conservative In his judgment, like Mo Me Laughlln. He has the daring of Fitzpatrlck and tbe energy of Oarrlsen. In short, tbe boy is a wonder." This is high praise, and when it is applied te a llttle colerod boy who w 111 net be out of Lis teens for seme time yet it seems tee great; but his work shows that lie deserves It. The most sensational race which Barnes ever rede previous te hlsro hlsre cent performance of winning the Junier Champien and the Champien stakes was In May of last year, when he rede en Paragon and beat Terra Cetta, Emperor of Norfolk, Velante and ethers nt Nashville. Anyone who saw Barnes when he rede that great race will never forget him. The Emperor bad just begun his sci Ics of great victories, which only ended when his leg gave way, and ha was of course a het favorite. Paragon went begging nt C, 8 and 10 te L Terra Cetta was In superb condition, and bets w ere offered that Terra Cetta would dls dls taneo Paragon. The three horses came into tbe stretch w ith heads together. What a race It was down te the strlugl Fer there were two of the grcatest jockeys en the turf fight ing every Inch of ground with llttle Barnes Murphy en the Emperor and Fitzpatrlck en Terra Cetta. The three jeckeys could have shaken hands nil the way down tbe stretch, se clese were they. Then the whips foil aud the 6purs were driven in, nnd Murphy en the Emperor shot half a length aheaiL He seemed te be a sure winner as he swept past the last furlong w Ith the shadow of the string across tlie track just nhcad et him, when Barnes, gath ering himself up Inte a tense mass of nen ci, his black cjes gleaming and his face working, dug his knees Inte the shoulders of Paragon, mid, throwing Inte every muscle of his figure his indomitable will, inspired the gallant thoroughbred with his own spirit, and fairly lifted him under tlie string winner by the shortest of bends. Then followed a long scries of nicmornble victories, Including seme of the principal stakes at every track in the country, cast aud west. Last year Barnes wen the Junier cham pionship and Futurity, nnd inthee two races he landed 1 01,835 an unprecedented sum en the American turf. Out of 493 mounts last year be wen 150, nnd they included every kind of horse. But the most remarkable thing that the boy has dene in his whole cniecrwasatMenmstith Park, wheu he pulled Protection out of n field and brought him winner by three lengths, landing $31,000, plump nml clean, right Inte the pockets of Heb Campbell, tbe jeung colored owner of the borse. Ah, that wns a race! If you had lieen there, knowing nil about that borse from the start, hew your bleed would have bubbled tip ns you saw him pass under the line. Beb Campbell picked up Protection nt a yearling sale last Jear for f350. Then Campbell liegan te train him, and when tbe Junier championship came en be backed the borse for all he was worth. Just pi e leus te this, after the borse had weu the Flash stakes at Saratoga, tlie Buy ers had offered Campbell $3,000 for him, but Campbell wnuted $15,000, which the Dwycrs thought tee much. Maybe Beb Campbell wasn't glad that tbe Dwyers didn't take him up wheu he saw his horse come in first and himself a winner of $31,000 iu stakes, about $10,000 in bets nnd of ceurse the increased alue of the liorse. But that wasn't tbe only thing thnt little Jockey Barnes did that day. He promptly mounted Les Angeles in the Champien staki's nnd brought him home te victory against Fhcnzl and Eurusen a heavy track. This feat of winning both Champien nnd Junier Champien stakes by ene jockey Ins never been dene but once before, nnd then It was dene by McLaughlin in 1SS7 with Hanover and Kingfisher.

This bride expectant Is Miss Sara Lay Lay ten, who has written se many boekt under the names of Arrali Leigh and Mrs. C. O. Heffman fifteen in nil, I think. She is young nnd very pretty, with beautiful hair. She is te wear a white satin and brecade gown, with a tulle veil and erange blossoms, and will have eight bridesmaids, and be married in church. Sara Layten is the friend el Mrs. Mary D. Bryan, the novelist and writer 60 dear te the hearts of south ern women, and it is net very long since she came very near ending both her own nnd Mrs. Ilryan's career of usefulness by carelessly handling n Derringer pis tol. The ball went through Miss Lay Lay ten's hand and hit Mrs. Bryan en the side, glancing off, fortunately, however, without Inflicting greater injury than a terrihle shock nnd fright nnd n great hi uise en her slde. Miss Layten's wound was very scrleu?, but is new well, nnd the two are firmer friends than ever. They came near making a long journey together.

LLW V 'e 4Jn3 WHIS !iS235 The Difference UatwMti Urn atsst IMft lTtilit. In long whist the cards are played thrcttjh from begbuilng te end, and every point be yond six counts. In this game, a sinxl game can be finished only when th wfcel thirteen trick are taken, or the gam eaa be played en Indefinitely ter points. Lengwblft h a steadier gam than abort Whist. Sir point whist is a cres between tte two. Lene whist used te be played in America with tha honors counted up te the year 1867, wham for tbe Urst time, according te "O. W. P.," an American authority, th gam was irsl played without honors. It will be seen that where the play in America differs se much from tha play in England there must be different rules te govern it. And yet many novice insist, when they play long whist, In applying Us rules for short whist. Fer a philosophical treatise en the art of the game perhaps Pele' is the best, but te read Pele's essay and then expect te play whist according te modern methods would be felly, and yet that Is what eme poeplo da Some years age Mr. Trist, an American player, brought out the Amer ican leads, and after considerable contro versy en the ether slde of the water, tbey were adopted In England, and are new a part of Cavendish, who Is probably one of th best authorities, or rather compilers, as ha insists upon calling himself, of tbe game.

W. P. (rf Tlie Bosten Herald: At trick 4 A sees that B has net KD, at trick C that S is B's best suit, and at trick 7 thnt O bes no mero spades. B knows that D holds 0 and 8 8, and passes K led that C may lead up t A, for if U takes with Kn 8, then plays KB, then ace, be may be obliged te lead up te a tenace, which, with diamond strength, will insure the game te C D. B, of ceurse, places C II with A, for If D holds it the game can not be saved. C (trick 7) will net return th diamond lead, for he may sacrifice D's qu. If D can get In by the club lead, very well; If net, D must be led up te by nnd by. But tbe great play of the hand is that of Des Des chapcllcsupen the eighth lead. He saw that B, who led the spade, after ward passed tbe king, and that if B was hold ing strength ngntnst the 9 nnd 8 it would be determined by his discard. A also saw thatace was net with either C or V. C would have led It or D would have played it te save the game. B's proper discard of ace showed the spade teuace. Here, thou, was the chance te get rid of the qu. I) by the discard en the ace H, and tbe surety of the game by the club lead that must fellow. The play of B at trick G was in defiance et a great temptatieu. As the cards bnppcn te lie B might have taken tbe trick, but B could net trust te a "heppen." He saw that the 0 and the 8 were In D's hand and that C bad no mero spaaes. B must pass this trick aud let the lead be threw n se that A must have last.play. B gave A tlie last trump, aud he might also bavek D, aud at auy late a spade te lead teB. Tbe taking or the club with the 10, and tbe splendid lend of the last trump settled tha matter en the instant, Itwnseiidcut that A had the clubs, and notthediamond strength, and It was also evident thnt A would at ence lead te tbe spade strength. It Is net very strauge that the Englishmen went te Paris te w itness such piny as this. They neiersaw anything llke It at home, nnd they went hick, ns Clay says, "forced te recognlze n wlde diirercnce between their sj stem and our own." Tem Lansixe. CHCSS AND CHECKERS.
