GEKERiLSPOBTIXGUEWS OF THE MI
Those of us who are not entirely absorbed
in the coming fight of "drink or no drink"
may have been interested in the various
baseball straggles during the week. The
national came has not by any means lost its
charm, even though our representatives
may have been in that imaginary liquid
known as soup now and then. Busy as he
is in curtailing, or trying to curtail, indi
viduality, Mr. Ed Murphy was a prominent
figure in a party yesterday whose only
theme seemed to be baseball. Mr. Mur
phy's enthusiasm regarding the national
game only represents the feeling among
what we may term tbe vigorous and young
portion of the business community. He
certainly voiced the sentiments of the busi
ness class he represents when he said that if
Pittsburg had a champion team the latter
wonld be carried round in tally-hos at the
public expense. I mention this fact to show
that Pittsburg's love for the national sport
cannot be beaten. Probably no other city
has been tested more; there has undoubtedly
been, metaphorically, all the fiery
furnace tests possible, and still we
are not only in the ring, but we
are demonstrating the fact every djy.
Of course, I'm not referring to the glorious or
inglorious work of tbe teams. I'm referring to
the enthusiasm of the Pittsburg lovers of base
ball That enthusiasm is stronger to-day than
it ever was So strong is it that tbe shortcom
ings of the team are generously excused, and,
in the language of Lew Dockstaders minstrels,
"With all her faults we love bar still;" that is,
our ball team. Before I shall have another op
portunity to say a few more Sunday morning
words the team will be borne, and I venture to
say that all of ns will be glad to see tbe boys
and certainly will have hope sufficient to
think that they'll beat anybody who comes
here. There is at present an interesting prob
lem et unsolved in the team. We are all wait
ing to see whether or not the youngsters re
cently signed wil' turn out good, bad or indif
ferent. Much depends on tbe resnlt, ana it is
not unreasonable to say that if we can produce
about two first-class, or anvtbing near tbatde
gree, pitch ers, we will mate anybody and every
body we tackle movo about at a very lively
rate.
Tbe Weak Point.
Of course "we all know that the weak
point of the team at present is in the
pitcher's boxv The games during the
week have added to the already large
amount of proof that tbe Fittsburgs would
have been at tbe top if our mtcbers had been
in condition. This is a very important fact, be
cause it is a tact, and it shows that there are
cluhs now among tbe leaders that are only there
because of the temporary shortcomings of other
people. Tbe plaving of the Bostons proves that
they are not champions, and just as sure as we
live that aggregation wiU not remain in the
van if the other teams can get into their best
condition. Cleveland continues to sustain tbe
gait that has surprised people from thestart of
tbe rare, and it may saiely be stated that tbe
"baby" will command attention until the finish
of the race. New York, like Pittsburg, is sadly
out olsbpe, and the Phillies continue to show
that while tbey are not pennant winners tbey
will be a factor in causing some of the aspirants
to lose tbe prize. Chicago is also out of condi
tion, particularly in tbe pitcher's box. Alto
?ether the week's games go to show that New
ork is the great team when m condition. If
Keefe and Welch once fairly get in line, depend
upon it, there is no team in the country
that will beat tbe Giants. It may
not be ont of place to say that If the young men
recent signed by Pittsburg are failures ef
forts should be made to sign others. Jewels
and prizes are not gotten without effort and
sacrifice. If by trying a dozen youngsters one
or two good men are secured, tbe result will be
worth tbe trouble.
The County Ieaeue.
In talking about or commenting on tbe affairs
of the "big" baseball people, we ought not to
forget tbe lesser folks. Among the latter is the
Allegheny County Iieacue, and it is undoubt
edly a useful and interesting little organization.
I don't wish to offend tbe dignity of its' mem
bers by saying "little;" I know that it has ten
clubs, but I mean that it is small in a financial
and influential sense. However, the League in
question has been almost the only organization
to keep baseball alive In this vicinity for some
time past. The most ridiculous of schedules
has bad the Fittsburgs scouring the country
for nearly four weeks, and tbe only
cames that we could witness here have
been those of the County Lieague.
It will, I'm sure, be a pleasure to all lovers of
the national game to know that the Connty
League games, at least many of them, have
been well contested and exciting This tact
has contributed largely toward attracting larce
audiences at tbe various games, which means
that the financial returrs, generally speaking,
are encouraging. There is a rivalry among,
some of the clubs in tbe organization that
seems to be even more intense than that of the
National League or American Association
clubs. Nobody would want to see more deter
mined opponents than tbe McKeesports and
the East End Athletics. Without doubt tbey
are two good clubs and I anticipate a most in
teresting struggle between them for the
County League pennant. Altogether the
League in question deserves all tbe patronage
that can be bestowed upon it. After all. it is
almost entirely from such organizations that
players of national repute are recruited. .Dur
ing tbe season there will be plenty of opportu
nities to give the County League a helping
band and I think it will get it it tbe clubs can
only maintain harmony among themselves.
Has Dempsex Weakcnedf
Several letters bave reached me during the
last few days asking if it is true that Dempsey
has refused to fight Joe Ellingsworth. One
writer, evidently an enthu-iastic admirer of the
Nonpareil, offers to bet 100 or $300 that Demp
sey will refuse to fight nobedy. However, the
report that Dempsey has weakened in his pro
posed battle with Ellingsworth bas been ex
tensively circulated. Whether it is true or not
Is another matter. I don't think it is true, and
I also imagtoe-tKtClt has been circulated by
' 3empseyS"enemies. Tbcre aro many reasons,
and some very good ones, why Dempsey ought
not and would not refuse to meet Ellingsworth.
From a business point of view it would be tbe
ver worst thing he could do. At present
Dempsey is engaged in a variety show, and tbe
leading feature. I might say the only feature,
of his engagement is to box against all comers.
He is the recognized middle weight champion
of America and he nightly appears as such.
But were be to definitely refuse to meet a man
in tbe ring on fair terms and for tbe champion
ship down would go his reputation and tbe
public would care as little about seeing him as
It would about seeing a man like Jack Fogarty.
Demosey is too shrewd a man to court a con
dition of things like that. Like many others
before him and like others to-day be would
certainly continue making what is. called a
"bluff" rather than ruin bis money-making
prospects in tbe way indicated. But aside from
tbe business or monetary considerations of the
questions, why should Dempsey refuse to
fight Ellintrswnrth? I don't know why. Allow
ing that Dempsey is what many people claim be
Is an over-rated man bis record will show that
he has not much to fear from the ex-amateur
who is now wanting to fight him. Ellingsworth
may be a wonder and be may be a miserable ex
cuse for a boxer. We cannot tell yet, because
be bas done nothing to show tbat he is in tbe
same class as Dempsey. If I remember right he
bad a four-round set-to with Fogarty on one oc
casion, and both principals were round! v hissed
for the burlesque tbey treated tbe audience to.
Elllcgswortb is a tolerably fair boxer, and has
a style which may be called Anglo-American.
He reaches well out, but not so unattractively
as such exponents of tbe American style as
HcCaffrey and Dempsey. While he does not
reach so far out, he, like most Englishmen,
keeps his stomach well znarded. Bnt whilo
these may oe very good qualities, it does not I
necessarily loUow that be is a ring fighter, and I
these mar be very good Dualities, it does not
be must have a little more than tbe average
know ledge of ring tactics to defeat Dempsey.
Those Aliased PiwllUt.
Speaking of Ellingsworth reminds ns of the
time and conditions when he first made his ap
pearance before the public as a boxer. When
Ellingsworth was first beard of tbe country
from Maine to California was full of all sorts
and conditions of pugilists, or more correctly
speaking, alleged pugilists. Within a period of
about IS months scores of champions were in
troduced to the world, and the only requisite to
be needed to make a champion seemed to be a
world-scouring challenge to box four or six
rounds with tremendous gloves for as much
money as the public would pay at $1 per head
to see tbe contest. This system was so extensive
tbat it is difficult to find among the long list of
so-called leading pugilists four or five who have
really earned the name of pugilist at alL I do
not wish to mention names just now.bnt if any
body interested in this question will just
briefly look over the records of almost all our
leading pugilists in America it will be found
that the claims to bona tide pugilism are very
slim indeed. As soon as the Doling mania, as
far as the public was concerned, disappeaied so
did almost all of these fistic terrors. As a re
sult there are comparatively few of these
artists before the public now. The latter will
lose nothing by this change of affairs, because
it is better to have no exponents of tbe "manly
art" at all than to have Impostors and frauds.
Kllrnln and Snlllvnn.
The date of the Sullivan-Kilrain battle is
rapidly approaching, and as it gets nearer in
terest in the affair is increasing. There will be
more interest in tbe proposed fight, too, when
Kilraln returns to bis native land. He, accom
panied by Mitchell, sailed from Liverpool on
Wednesday, and if all goes well he will be in
New York within a few days. In a letter to
his backer be intimates that there is to be an
organized gang at the proposed battle to pre
vent his winning. In the same letter he points
ont that tbe people of the South are too fair
minded to permit any such unfair treatment
As far as the "organized gang" is concerned I
think it only exists in Kilrain's mind. If the
Sullivan party even, had any intention of re
sorting to such contemptible actions I feel cer
tain tbat their plans would be kept devoutly
secret. But whatever Sullivan's faults may be,
unfairness is not one of them. It is safe to say
tbat be would sooner fight until he drew his
last breath than resort to dastardly means to
avoid defeat. It seems, therefore, that Kil
rain's alleged "organized gang" is tbe latest
method of courting sympathy and notoriety.
According to tbe latest reports from Kilrain's
party he is to fight at 1S2 pounds. So it is evi
dent that tbe modern notion of fighting as
heavy as possible is still in vogue. It has also
been arranged tbat Mitchell and Jim Moure
are to second bim. Sullivan's party are not
behindhand in arrangements. Tbey have re
quested Dempsey and McCaffrey to look after
the big man. So that altogether there is a good
sizea extort at wore to give tne puoiic to un
derstand tbat both parties mean business.
Time will tell whether or not everything is
being done with honesty of purpose.
t
Wnllace Rons' Offer.
One of the events of the week that will afford
considerable interest to admirers of what may
be termed old time boat rowing is the chal
lenge of Wallace Ross to row E. a Laycock,
the Australian. Boss wants to row on the
Thames for 2,000 a side. Those of ns who saw
boat-rowing 10 or 12 years ago would, I'm cer
tain, find much pleasure in seeing a race be
tween La cock and Boss, but I fear they will
never row. There was a time when, in my es
timation, Laycock was a better rower than
ever Boss was, but tbe former must have been
on the wane for a long time. He earned great
fame during tbe famous Hop Bitters regatta
on tbe Thames, and really was the bread
winner of the Australian party, although
Trlckett bad been backed to beat the world.
Still later Laycock defeated the late B. W.
Boyd on the latter's own water, and that was
Laycock's last effort outside, bis native
country. Boss, of course, must bave
also '-gone back" a little, and if they
could each get into good condition they would
make a good race. Boss' challenge may mean
tbat tbe Australians now in England are talk
mg of getting the two together. At any rate,
we may be prepared to heir of more interna
tional races this year than the proposed contest
between O'Connor and feearle.
TurfUncertnlntles.
Backers'of public form among the runners
have certainly gotten a few hard blows so far
this season. If ever there was a time for re
joicing among the bookmakers it ouht to be
now. Certainly their proverbial luck cannot
last; if it does tbe list of millionaires will be
considerably increased this year. It is singular
that a similar state of affairs is existing on the
English turf, and the London Referee describes
it in a way tbat is exactly appropri
ate here. Speaking of a man who went
to tbe Newmarket races, tbe paper tajs:
"And he lost nearly all his money on the first
day, and went home and got all be could for
bis estates from bis lawj er, who presumal ly
carried a few thousand loose in bis pockets for
such emergencies. Next day bis lady went
down on ber bended knees, and tbe children
hung round his neck and rumpled his snowy
collar with their pudgy little arms, and moist
ened his beautiful shirt-front with their tears,
and besought the gentleman not to go to tbe
races again. But go be would, and be backed
tbe favorite and lost and backed and backed
and lost and lost till all tbe money the lawyer
gave him for his estates was gone. And then
his lady took off her beautiful diamonds, and
tbe gentleman put these on tbe favorite,
and tbat lost: and when tbe big race
came the Two Thousand Qulneas, of
course, it must be, because there were no big
races, onl v very little races, on that day except
the Two Thou. all the money and all the dia
monds were gone ("done in" is the correct
racing expression, but my informant does not
use such language). And ten the gentleman
could not leave off.but went to tbe betting men
and backed tbe iavonte Donovan, no doubl
for bis carriage and pair, and lost again: and
there he was with all his money and his lady's
diamonds and tbe carriage and pair gone, and
the betting men came over to take the carriage
and pair. But one of them ups and says: 'No,
Squire, we won't take the carriage and pair
now, because you have lost enough, and it
would be disgrace for you and your lady to
walk where you are accustomed to drive in
your own carnage. You shall drive home, and
I will come and fetch it in the middle of tho
night, and then nobody will know what's
become of it-' At that the other betting
men cheered, and the 'Squire drove
off looking quite calm. But when the betting
man came by appointment in the middle of the
night to fetch the carriage and pair be found
tbe gentleman banging by the neck and a ropo
in the coachhouse, he Having adopted this
sensible means of providing for his wife and
family; and the betting man was S3 frightened
that be went rizbt off and swore that be would
never make another bet again. Personally I
bedeve every word of this, which no doubt was
busbed up, as such occurrences can be so easily,
and tbat is the reason why I am aBle to give as
exclusive what might have been public news
paper property."
Whether or not the storv is true, it serves
well to illustrate how the public bas been
victimized latelv. Pklkqle.

GE5EEAL BASEBALL SEWS OP THE DAI
fSFXCTAL TEUCQEJUC TO THE DISPATCH. 1
"Washington, May 25-. Beam pitched
for the visitors to-day, and that almost tells
the story. There were many conjectures as
to the ability of the young man as a base
ball pitcher. Manager Phillips really
thought that nothing earthly could touch
him. Horace, by the way, had been told by
Mr. Nimick, who was here, that Beam was
what the street corner people call a corker.
However, Mr. Beam was in the box to-day
for the pilgrims from Pittsburg, and to tell the
truth he was in reality a corker. Of course he
was wild, but he got tbe ball across the plate
often enough to puzzle the Senator aggregation
and surprise the onlookers.
Beam won the game and that is the story of
the contest To tell how the runs were made
would only be telling an oft repeated tale.
Pittsburg has evidently gotten bold of a good
young fellow in Beam. Score:

CUTTING DOWN TREES.
AnElcctricnl Itlnchlno That Will Fell the
Tall Pines of Oregon.
Portland Oregoman.l
A great many machines have been in
vented lor cutting down trees, saws runny
hand and by steam, etc, but nothing has as
yet been brought into general use to take
the place of the State of Maine man or
Michigander with his springboard and
keen ax.
The saw driven by steam could do the
work very well, but it is impracticable to
get a steam engine around in tbe woo'ds. A
machine bas lately been invented for
cutting down trees which bids fair to
be a success. It is run by electricity and
can easily be moved about in the woods, as
tbe motor is placed on a high cart and runs
a tutting drill, which sweeps from side to
side and is advanced as the work progresses.
The electricity can be supplied from a sta
tionary steam engine or a water power and
conducted by insulated wire to any reason
able distance or over anv kind of ground.
There is but little timber land in this coun
try but what can be reached in this way,
and it is possible that in a short time the
chopper will be a thing of tbe pa-it in log
ging camps, and the tall pines of Oregon
will be laid low by electricity.
LORD TENNYSON'S CHALK PITS.
Tbe Sign He Put on Tbem Is Not Foetlo In
the Least.
Wide Awake.
Lord Tennyson's home, as every one
knows, is for a portion of the year at least
at Farringford, in the west of the Isle of
Wight. He is the owner of a ''noble do
main," wherein are chalk pits bearing each
a notice board with the following inscrip
tion :
"NO CHALK TO BE TAKEN FROM THIS
PIT. BY ORDER. ALFRED TENNYSON,
LORD OF TB E MANOR."
Says an English papef:
"The brutal frankness of the language is
doubtless due to the humor of the poet's stew
ard; but who would not give several loads of
purloined chalk rather than have this associa
tion cling to the author of 'Maud?""i
Yet 'why not? Hath not a noet "hands,
organs, dimensions, senses, affection, pas
sion?" Doth he not require the where
withal to be clothed and fed and honsed?
And why should he not own chalk pits and
put up a board to warn off trespassers?

FALSE EDMOES POIHTED OUT.
Hot the Babies Are Getting- Along and
Their Prospects.
MAKING BEAD! FOE PITTSBDEG
COBBESPOXDEJtCX Or TBE DISPATCH.
Indianapolis, May 25. The local
baseball public bas about recovered from
the shock received when the Indianapolfc
team sustained three defeats in Cleveland
and failed to get but one game in Washing
ton, and by winning a fair percentage of
the contests yet to be played before they re
tarn, the Hoosiers will be welcomed home
in the most cordial manner. It is true the
club has not accomplished what was really
expected of it, but at the same time the fact
is very generally recognized and admitted
that the team has played good ball, having
lost several games through that mysterious
agency
HARD LUCK,
rather than poor work. The men are all in
good physical condition, and tbe management
calculates tbat both Whitney and Getzeln will
improve in their pitching from now on. Boyle
has done splendid service, and with the other
two doing as well, the Hoosiers will be about
as strong in tbe box as any team in the League,
It is claimed that Whitney will do better as
tbe season advances and the weather grows
warmer, and the old man himself asserts that
he will stand up among the leaders at no dis
tant day. Getzein, ton, sbows signs of getting
back to bis form of 1887, when he practically
won tbe championship for Detroit.
If these things come to pass and the Hoosiers
continue their present batting and fielding
standard tbey ought to pull well to the front
during their next series of games at borne. Af
ter tbe contests with tbe Eastern clubs, the
team will not bave such a bard fight ahead.
The Cbicaeo atrzrecation is not as formidable
as in days gone by and Pittsburg is not in shape
just now to make much trouble. Theso games
finished, the Hoosiers will come home for a
three weeks' stay, and with the advantage of
home grounds and home crowds the team will,
no doubt, make it pleasant for all comers. It is
tbeintention to head Cleveland off and Chicago
is not out of reach. Tbe former started off at
a pace beyond its real strength and will hardly
be able to bold the place now occupied. Chica
go, like nearly every other club in the League,
is weak in the box and will bave to struggle to
keep up with the procession.
SOME FALSE BUM0ES.
Tbe story, first published by the Philadelphia
Inquirer, that Glasscock bad been released to
the club of tbat city and that Denny would
soon be found in New York was too absurd and
unreasonable to attract serious attention. The
publication was a fake, pure and simple, and
immediately fell of its own weight. The local
management never thought of such a thing
and Beacb claims that the first be knew of tbe
matter was when he read it in the papers. It
has not been long since the Philadelphia club
President tried to make a deal for Denny, but
abandoned it wben Manager Bancroft tele
graphed back that he would not trade Denny
for the whole Philadelphia team. There is one
thing certain in connection with tbe Indian
apolis club, and that is, that Glasscock and
Dennv will be members of the team as long as
it remains in tbe League and is owned by the
present proprietors. President Brush regards
these men as tbe greatest ball plajers in the
proiesMon, anu as ne is looting lor gooa men,
U is not likely that he will sell any.
President Brush is at Hot Springs, having
gone there to boil out a bad attack ot rheuma
tism, but will return home within a. week or ten
days. He bas been on crutches for a month or
more.
Bcboeneck, first baseman, and Rusie and
Burdlck, pitchers, members of the local team,
are at home. What the management expects
to do with tbe former is not known. Hines was
put on first as an experiment and seems to be
playing tbe base in a creditable manner. As
he is Schoeneck's superior with the stick, It is
quite probable that he will be kept in that po
sition. In tbat case the latter is not needed,
anil, tbough tbe management bas not said so,
it is quite likely that lie will be released. Bur
dick is for sale, but Rusie will be retained and
developed. It is not probable that any further
changes will be made in tbe team. A. G. O.
THE BABIES HEARD FROM.
Preparations to Welcome tbe Pittsburg
Tenm Next Week.
COKBESPONDXSCI OP Till DISPATCH. 1
Cleveland, O., May 25. When the Pitts
burg club comes here on the 6th of June we ex
pect to welcome it with such a big crowd that
additional seating capacity has beeu contracted
for and wijl be erected at once. The total seat
ing capacity of the grounds will then be be
tween 6,000 and 8,500. In all Cleveland's expe
rience in the Association the club never had
continued attendance tbat warranted enlarging
tbe stands.
Columbus dallied and wavered so long over
the deal for Tom Nicholson that Toledo
stepped in and bore away tbe prize. I think
Nicholson would prefer to go to Toledo of the
two places. He is a capital player, and at the
nrlce Toledo got him for, 5500, his release Is
dirt cheap Sprague is working dally, and has
reported to Secretary Ha .vley tbat bis arm is
now in good condition. The stiffness has all
gone, and his command of the ball is good. He
will be given a thorough trial wben the club
gets back, and it may be we bave drawn anoth-
er prize in tbe pitching line.
Young Lohbeck is still here, and though the
inquiries about him are numerous, the man
agement is in no hurry to let bim go, and it will
be impossible to buy him for tbe song tbat
other players bave been di-posed of.
The Detroit deal is about all closed up. Sec
retary Hawley went up to see Stearns on
Thursday's boat and help him squander a share
of that 531,000 dividend tbat was recently de
clared to tho Detroit stockholders. All that
Detroit lost during its existence in the League
could be put in a man's eye and it wouldn't im
pair the sight then.
Cleveland gave Chicago more money by sev
eral shekels for tbe four games played here
thin Cleveland got from New York for the
four games played at Staten Island. I notice
Pittsburggotadose of equally as bad medi
cine This is what plays the mischief with the
smaller cities. A losing season on Staten
Island, however, may take some of tbe conceit
and big salary notions out of the head of the
New York management, and lit will be disposed
to play fewer stars. Day and llutrie may as
certain by actual experience bow valuable a
salary limit is to the weaker cities. J. B. F.

PENNSYLVANIA'S QUARANTINE.
Dr. Benjamin Lea Will Explain to Fltts
bnrgers All Abont It Tbe Sanitary Con
tention A Notable Weelu
, A sanitary convention will beheld in
Pittsburg next Friday and Saturday, under
the auspices of the State Board of Health.
Subjects of vital interest will be presented
and discussed by practical sanitarians. The
sessions and discussions will be freely open
to all, and will be of special interest to the
public. The place of meeting will be the
Pittsburg Club Theater.
Dr. Benjamin Lea, Secretary of the State
Board, will be present, and will tell about
the new quarantine station at the entrance
to Delaware Bay. It will be remembered
that Congress, at its last session, appropri
ated a considerable amount of money tor the
equipment of seven quarantine stations,
five for the Atlantic coast and two for the
Pacific. i
Of this appropriation about $75,000 was
assigned for the establishment of a
thoroughly equipped station for tbe protec
tion of Delaware Bay and river. 'Heretofore
the only safeguard against the introduction
of contagion below the Lazaretto has been
the little hospital ot tbe United States
Marine Hospital Service, near Lewes,
simply designed for the treatment of sick
or wounded seamen, with no adequate pro
vision for the isolation of those suffering
from infectious diseases.
So well has this service been administered,
however, tbat it has on several occasions de
tained and disinfected pest-laden vessels and
their crews, and thus stayed at the threshold
causes which might have resulted in dis
astrous epidemics had they gained admis
sion. At or near this point the Legislature
of Delaware has offered to f ede to the United
States the land necessary for the proposed
buildings and appurtenances.
The Secretary of the State Board of Health
of Pennsylvania, Dr. Benjamin Le3, has
been designated a commissioner on the part
of the United States to meet commissioners
appointed by the State of Delaware, and, in
conjunction with them to locate and fix tbe
boundaries of this reservation. This pre
liminary will be speedily settled, and work
will be begun at an early date. The fumi
gating steamer for the station is now in pro
cess of construction.
Among the many papers that will be read
are one on "Meat," by Dr. Dunn; one on
"Food Adulteration," by Percy F. Smith,
and one on1 "Bread as an Article of Food,"
by 8. S. Marvin. Dr. W. T. English will
also read a paper. On the evening of one
of the days of the meeting a reception will
be tendered to the board by the State Medi
cal Society. It will beheld attheJBIjoa
Theater, and will be followed by a banquet
at the Monongahela House.
BEES IN THE HEART OP THE CITI.
Tbe Bnsy Honey Sinkers Found on
the'
Flowers In New York Sqnares.
From the New York Sun.l
It is not often that a New Yorker may see
bees extracting honey from flowers in tbis
town of brick and stone; bnt if anyone curions
to look upon such a sight will wander through
Union square or Madison square, and watch
the beds of flowers which here and there
beantlfy those lovely spots of green, it is not
altogether improbable tbat that sight may be
seen. The other day, when the sun's rays
came down straight and hot, there was a group
of men and children at the upper end of Union
square intently looking at the spot where two
or three bees were bumming about amid tbe
blossoms of some plants that grew up in a very
small bed. The interesting little insects
buzzed about and hovered above the petals.
The bees, so far as any city man could see,
were genuine and healthy, and if any one of
the curious observers had dared to interfere
with them in their industrious undertaking, it
was altogether likely tbat he would bave been
punished with a smart sting for his pains.
After what seemed a very little while the busy
insects finished their labor, and, circling some
what experimentally above tbe bed of flowers
for a moment or two, suddenly decided upon
their course, and flew straight away over to
waid the Jersey shore.
A BULLDOG PIGHTS A HORSE.
A Desperate Slrnggle In Which a Trotter
Was Nearly Killed.
Saratoga, May 25. John J. Scannel is a
lover of horses. Tbe pet of bis stable is a road
mare which he values at thousands ot dollars.
She was recently sent here from New York for
Mr. Scanners pleasure driving this summer.
Tbe groom who bas charge of the animal owns
a fierce bulldog, and at night the two animaN
were shut np together in tbe box stall of the
pet mare. During tbe nlgbt an unpleasantness
arose between tbem which developed into alife
and 'death fight. Tbe noise of tbe contest
aroused tne neighbors and tbe stablemen, and
on going to tbe stall the dog and the horse were
found to be fighting furiously.
Tbe dog evidently bad tbe best of tbe mare,
having fastened his teeth firmly in ber neck,
and was holding on in such a death grip as only
a bulldog can, while tbe mare was crying and
helplessly kicking in all directions. It was only
by running a stick under tbe heavy leather col
lar worn by tbe dog and twisting it until he
was nearly choked to death tbat be could be
make to relax his grip npon the mare's neck.
She was also badly bitten on the nose and legs.
It is feared tbat the mare is fatally injured.
Mr. Scannel paid 82,300 for her. She bas a rec
ord of 235.

they would be progressive if that restraint of "affording it" would not
constantly loom up and shut out the bright visions of nicety they long
