AMONG AMATEURS Preparations for Extraordi nary Events in the Athletic World. THE THREE A'S MEETING Calls Out an Unusually Large Num ber of Eecord Breakers. CHAMPIONSHIP TENNIS TOURNEY. Cjclers Homo From the Successful SUte lleet at Scranton. KOTES OF THE EOBUST Df HANI FIELDS. From the present moment until the bleak wintry winds blow in from the "West there win be an extreme of activity among the amateur enthn biasts of "Western Pennsylvania, not only in the line of field sports bnt in tennis, cricket, cyc ling and baseball. On Saturday of the present week the T. S. Jhaiean. first big meeting of the season will be the center of attraction at the Allegheny Athletio Association's rrounds, formerly Exposition Park. Im mediately following that, on July 4, Schen ley Park will be the arena in which a host of amateur athletes will try to break their records. After that the events follow so thick and fast that there will scarcely be breathing space between. The Three A's" meet, Saturday, will E. V. Paul be an enormous affair and if indications hold out there will be more and better starters in every event than has ever oc curred in this p"art of the State. And the athletes will represent, not only this State but others in the vicinity. Detroit has entered 10 men, the Michigan Athletic As sociation will send four, three are coming from Cleveland, two will represent the Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Club of Philadelphia, two will come from the "Washington and Jefferson College, four will be here from Sharpsburg, one will up hold the honor of Geneva College, the East End Gyms will be represented by a dozen or more, the Superior Athletic Association will have several representees there, and the "Three A's" will make a big showing themselves. And not only will the meet be famed for Its numbers, but for the merit of the com petitors as welL Some of the sturdy ath letes have world-wide reputations and others are known to all "Western Pennsyl vania. For instance. H V. Paul won the championship for Western Pennsylvania m the 100 yards dash in 10 1-5 seconds in the Three A's spring games. He has done the distance in 10 seconds in trials, and at the East End Gyms in 10 2-5 seconds, and he hopes to do the dash this time in 10 seconds even. Ke will also try the 220-yard dash. In the high jump he has made 5 leet 8 four Charles JT. Petticord. times at the firsi'Three AVspring and fall games, the East End Gym games and has made 5 feet 10K inches in practice. In indoor contests he has made six firsts best 5 feet 6 inches. He has also run two firsts and three seconds in hurdles, best time, 17 1-5 for 120 yard, high hurdles. Be sides this he has run 30 firsts, seconds and cups. He was trained by Cornish and ran last spring with the Eastern men. This lummer he will run for the Three A's and then stop, but he hopes to get up to ix feet in the high jump. His best- ball t hro w is 346 feet. He is 22 vears of age and has been on the track two vears; is a hard worker and very popular. P. E. Coates, another of the celebrities, Is 23 years of age,6 feet li inches and weighs zirapounas. uetoo the first medal for his first attempt at walk ing in 1887. Since then he has won 12 medals and two cups for walking, two lor throwing the ham jruer. He came in in 'the first four at the American Inter-col legiate sports in '89- 1K, but in 'yi was disqualified when near the finish and sure for the first or second. In '89, '90 and '91 he carried off medals for walking in State Collegiate sports, and in the spring of '91 made the Lehigh's mile A- I , wait record of 7.18. vY1 ' He was Captain of s-; the Lehign athletic team for three years and manager of the tF.B.

On Sat urday he will throw the hammer and put the shot S. W. Halev, another good runner, will be in the dashes and long runs. He is 20 years old and weighs lu running trim 130 pounds, with a height of 5 leet 9 inches. His first race was in Sep tember, 1S90, when he won the half-mile run at the meeting of the Greensburg Athletic Club. Dur ing that year he ran four races, winning two of them, a mile in 5:50 and a half mile in 2:ia East season he ran in five one - half mile races, winning two firsts and one second at the East End Gym's meetings. He finished seoondin the half-mile at the fall games of the "3 A's" and third in the same event at the meeting of the Cleveland Athletic Club last October. He ran second to H. C. Fry, Jr., when he lowered the half mile record in "West ern Pennsylvania to 2.-08J. Last year he ran in four mile races, winning three and finishing second in the other. His only & , nal race so far this year was last Saturdayat the club meet of the Three A's, when he won from scratch in 5:10 1-5. He hasteadily improved, lowering his rec ord lrom 5:50 to 5.-04, and running in prac tice several times this season under 5:00. In the one-half mile he has also lowered his one-halt mile record from 2:18 to 2:11, and will try the 220-yard dash this season. J. B. McKennan makes his first appear ance here this year at this meeting. He is the best all-around athlete in "Western Pennsylvania, and it is expected that he will receive an ova tion. He and Jewett are going to try to lower the record in the hop, skip and jump, 45 feet 4 inches. He has cone 45 teet and thinks he can do bet ter. He will also be in the hurdle races. jHe has made a record 'tis follows: Running high jump, 5 feet 0 inches; broad jump, 20 feet 5 inches; hop, sup ana lump, 45 feet; running high kick, 8 feet 10 inches; standing high jump, 4 feet S inches; putting Im pound shot, 32 feet 10 inches; 120-yard hurdle, 18 1-5 seconds. G. M. Eaughlin, Jr., who recently dis tinguished himself in Eastern events rep resenting the "Three As," will be in many of the events. It be remembered that he won second place from Bauer at the athletic meeting of the Schuylkill Kavy J. B. McKennan. at Philadelphia, with an 8-vard handicap, but in the 220-vard dash at Columbia, June 6, he easily defeated Bauer. He has been a winner in many long and short runs, and has shown a steady improvement in time. A. M. "Wilson, late of the Geneva College, is also entered in a number of the events, and is very liable to carry off the first in the jnmps and other competitions of that nature. He is an excellent all-around man, and it would not be surprising to have him equal some of the national records. E. E Arensberg, a novice, shows more than an ordinary amount of speed on the track. He will press the winners closely. T. S. Duncan, who holds the "Western Pennsylvania championship for putting the shot, is entered for several events. J. K. "Wade, who has the make of a good runner, will be in the long runs. He is training hard and will make good time. The bicycle race will be very interesting and there will be a big field of starters. The "3 A.'s" have entered Lee Higby, "W. H. Wilson, A. L. Banker and C. H. Petti cord, and there are entries of at least a dozen more from the other associations. Most of the Pittsburg wheelmen who made the pilgrimage to the State meet at Scranton have returned. Secretary J. "W. McGowin, of the Keystone Cyclers, was among the number, and he reports that the meet was the most successful, in every way, of those ever held in the State. The Scran ton wheelmen carried out all their promises and the visitors were treated in a royal fashion. It was a continual round of pleas ure from beginning to end, and the Taces were not the least of the features. One of them was more than ordinarily good both as to time and as to the number of starters. It was the open mile race for the grand piano. There were 18 starters, and the winner made the fastest time ever made in the State in a like event 2:23 4-5. The world's record is 2:21 2-5, and the Scranton record came pretty close to it. Pully 1,000 wheelmen from districts distant to Scranton were present, but Pittsburg was only repre sented by about a dozen. No place has yet been selected for next year s meet, but Pittsburg seems to be out of the question, for the reason that the hotel accommoda tions are considered inadequate. Leaving this out of the question, there is no reason why the 'cyclers here could not entertain 5,000 wheelmen in a creditable style. It is a matter for the wheelmen to take into con sideration, and the sooner some action is taken the better it will be for the cycling interests here. Charles H. Petticord, one of Pittsburg's most prominent wheelmen, begun to ride so long ago as 1887, and since then he has turned his attention chiefly to road riding. Every year he has taken a long distance journe y, and for the last two or three years in com pany with Lenz. Their first trip was to Chicago when thoy were gone a month. In 1890 Mr. Petticord rode from Pittsburg to fat. Louis, 621 miles, in 12J days. Then he returned by the way of Chicago and De troit where he took the steamer to Cleveland. Prom there he rode to Buffalo in two days; took in the National League meet at Niagara Falls and rode home. His next trip was a ten days' run to Cincinnati, and in August of that year he rode 1,180 miles, never crossing the same road twice. Last year in company of Mr. Lenz he rode to New Orleans and took in all the interesting places on the route. In a few days he will ride from Pittsburg to "Buffalo in two davs, and is now making up a party of young ladies and gentlemen to ride to the national meet at "Washington. It is probable that the return, trip will be made on wheels, since there will be a greater op portunity ot spending more time on the route. He has entered for the "Three A's" race next Saturday, but his forte is more in road work than the race track. In about three weeks the national meet of the 'cyclers will take place at "Washing ton, D. CL, and it begins to look as if about 200 of Pittsburg's wheelmen will attend. They expect to have more than the usual amount of enjoyment, and the indications are that their anticipations will be realized. The programme as announced will be as fol lows: .

The Pittsburg cricket team is scheduled to play in Chicago on July 4 and 5, but it begins to look as if the team would bo weakened from the fact that some of the cracks cannot get away. This is a pity, for Chicago will put its best men in the field and that means that they are determined to win the "Western end of the Intercity league. Outing, in discussing the game, says: "The match between Pittsburg and (jnicago on o my 4 ana o, is now very mucn in doubt with the odds probably in favor of Pittsburg." Last year Chicago won from Detroit by 202 to 51 and 59. This vear Pittsburg won from Detroit by 378 to" 107 and 85, but our team was strong. It is true that Chicago's team has been weakened by the death of Mr. Self and the recent illness of Dr. ,Ogdcn and J. G. Davis, and by the loss of Tom Dall, who is playing for De troit this year, but the managers of the team have been sparing much time in practicing the men so that if Pittsburg goes there with a weak team the chances that we win are materially lessened. The time for the holding of the fourth an nual tournament of the championship ot the "Western Pennsylvania singles, on the grounds and under the auspices of the Pitts burg Tennis Club, is last approaching. The committee, Messrs. J. E. Bovle, O. M. Brown and Thomas Ewing, has issued a cir cular calling attention to the fact that the date ot the tournament is July 12 to 15, and that entries close July 11 at 12 jl, withE. B. Vaill, Treasurer, P. O. box 720, Pitts burg. The events will be gentlemen's sin gles and doubles, first consolation and runner up prizes to be awarded in each. The winner of the singles will be entitled to play for the Grogan challenge cup, which must be won three times to become the property ol the winner. The cup carries with it the single championship of "Western Pennsyl vania, It was won in 1889 by Mr. Jt G. Christy, of the Sewickley club, and in 1890 by Mr. S. W. B. Moorhead, of the Pittsburg Tennis Club, in 1891 by C A. Buch, ot the Altoona, who will defend his title to ike cup against the winner of the tournament. Trial matches will be best two out of three sets; the finals, best three out of five. Horace J. Hill. Wheelmen's nhlipen. The Allegheny 'cyclers are off on a run to Gieensburg to-day. Thx Yineland, X. J. lady cyclists have 29 members in the club. About 600 wheelmen took in the concert at Highland Park, Friday night. The Anthracite Wheel Club, of West Pitts ton, Pa., has niue lady members. Wheelmen complain of the horse racing that is practiced on Wlnehill avenue eveiy day. The regular weekly run of the East End Gym wheelmen will take place to-morrow evening at 7 o'clock. The Roup street hill seems to be a stickler for the riders. Although its road is good no one has succeeded In climbing it yet. The Young Women's Christian Guild, of Toronto, Can., has formed a cycling division. They will admit gentlemen as members. W. H. Banker left for New York Monday last on business. His son George will come home with him after the Kings County Wheelmen's meet. Some talk of holding a wheelmen's meet here is heard in several quarters. Snch an event would attract considerable attention If properly managed. Light maonlnes are becoming the rage. Quite a number of the riders are changing their heavy mounts for those ranging lu weight from S2 to 12 pounds. Lskx, when last heard from, was in Toronto. He rode around Lake Ontario to get there, and spent three days on muddv roads. He will be in Detroit to-morrow and at Chicago on July 3. Captain J. B. Culbertson, of the East End Gym Wheelmen.ls entered for the race at the "8 A's" meet next Saturday. He says he is not in very good training, bnt he will give the boys a hard tussle to win from him. The Buttercup Cycling Club of the East End, took a 30-mile trip to foot of Neville Island this week, where a dainty lunch was served. The club expect to leave for an ex tended trip East on their wheels in the near luture. Lxirz had some trouble in passing through the Custom House lines when entering Can ada last week, but a letter from Blaine, stat ing that he was taking a trip aiound the world made its influence felt, and he was finally allowed to cross the border. A merry party went over the plank road to Bakerstown one day during the week. The party Included Hiss Alice Berger, Miss Flo Banker, Miss Valena Sutmeyer, Ed. Banker, G.F.Price, J. Farrell ana A. L. Banker. This was the first road ride for two of the ladies, but they stood it well, and are ready for another one. The noted riders Wlndle, Berlo, Munger, Van Sicklen, Blase, Bowman, Smith Camp hell, Banker. Hess, Bleb, Stllger, McDuffee, Arnold, Coffin, Graves and Barker, have 'signified their intention of participating in the ten-mile championship race, to be held at Manhattan Field, July 0, under the nianagemeut of the Biverslde Wheelmen. Tennis Tonrnalettes. Pickio parties now make tennis a feature of the day. Sewicklet players are preparing for a tournament there next mouth. Wilkinsbdro tennis players are inactive so far this season, but they may make up for it later on. The Pittsburg Tennis Club's new house will be finished and opened in time for the tournament i uiy 12. The Pittsburg Tennis Club has applied for a charter in the Court of Common Pleas and the matter will be heard July 16. Epeahied ankles seem to have troubled a good many crack players this year. Several of them at the tournament have been forced to return on this account. Miss Bessie Moore, of New Jersey, gave Miss Mabel Cahlll a hard task to keep the ladles' championship of America at Pblladet phie on Thursday. She intends to try harder at the next meeting. Amono. the ladles who are frequently at the Sewickley nets aro Miss Marg Irwin, Miss Daisy Miller and Miss Lucy Chrlstv. All of th em aie experts and aie playing in unusually fine form this season. Mr. S. W. B. Moorhead. of the Pittsburg Tennis Club, expects to play in the Orange, N. Y., tournament this week. He may meet E. L. Hall, who has carried off the Southern and New England championships. Field Notes In General. The Jeannettes will play two games with the Uniontowns on the Fourth of July.

Chautauqua la Making Ready for a Very Prosperous Season, HEWS FROM THE 0THEB RESORTS The summer hegira is about to begin. Al ready Pittsburg people are in possession of Atlantic City and the other resortare mak ing ready for the weloome visitors from the Gas City. The Queen-of-the-Sea is fast re covering from the recent fire and not a trace will be visible in a few days more. Chau tauqua landladies are on the qui vive, and a brilliant season is anticipated. Mine Host is waiting everywhere and he will not have to wait long. The end of the week will find many of our good people "out of town." . PITTSBDRGERS IN PLENTY. Ton Couldn't Move at Atlantic City Last Week Witbont Kunnlng Into One The Mechanics' Convention Broadaze Smith Takes in the Show Names on the Beglsters. Atlantic City, June 25. SpeAA The boardwalk fire of Wednesday night, if it served no other purpose, has given the Jerseymen who rule this town an oppor tunity to show their midsummer ability to hustle. The boardwalk will be rebuilt at once, and before the month of July has rolled around most of the business places will be knocked together again. In fact, an army of men are already at work, and un less the Pittsburger who intends coming here for the summer hastens' he will see nothing to remind him of the disaster. All traces will have been removed except tra dition. The fire served one splendid pur pose, for it demonstrated the entire ability of the fire department to take care of any conflagration that may break out As is generally the case, the credit of the good work rests largely' with a former resi dent of the Gas City. George Holland, who acted chiet lor that night, was born and raised in Pittsburg. He was at one time a member of the fire department there, and declared last night that he owed to old Chief Evans his knowledge of how to get a fire under control. Holland is a glass blower by trade, bnt owing to a legacy left him two "years ago by English relatives, is now taking his ease in a cottage by the sea. The greatest pecuniary loss lrom the fire will fall upon the enterprising firm of Young & McShea, whose new Academy of Music was destroyed. The building was not of the usual boardwalk variety, but was really a substantial affair, and was fitted up in the most modern manner without regard to expense. It will be rebuilt again at the earliest moment, but the new building will be of a less substantial character than the one destroyed. Politics In Black and "White. Among the distinguished visitors from Pittsburg during the past week was one who is known in every corner of that busy city. It was no less a personage than Broadaxe Smith, who made plenty of fun along the boardwalk wherever he went. Some colored man, who had been a delegate, from a Southern State to the Minneapolis Convention, was with the famous Broadaxe, and the pair had no end of fun. The South ern delegate wanted Mr. Smith to go in the ocean for a swim, but Broadaxe cast his weather eye straight into the teeth of the thundering white-capped surf and declined. "Why, " said the Southerner In a last persuasive effort, "look at the girls in there; they don't seem afraid." "That's all right," answered Broadaxe, "I'm no chip an' I'd sink fer sure." As nothing would induce Mr. Smith to change his mind, the Southern man had to go in alone. After he had tumbled about in the surf a little, Broadaxe raised a general and hearty laugh by yelling from the board walk: "Come out of that ocean. Professor, you look like a burnt cork in a tub of yeastl" Mr. Smith and his Southern friend will return Monday, and will spend a week here. As Quay is to be down during that time, something like apolitical study in black and white may be looked for, as Broadaxe still declares allegiance to the silent Senator. As an ordinary topio of interest the weather is tabqoed, and the one who attempts to write about it in the columns ot The Dispatch must be possessed of a rare collection ot facts to bolster up any assertion he makes. Monday last the thermometer at the hottest period of the day in Pittsburg registered 91 degrees, and those who are forced to stay at home and attend to business know that the thermometer traveled this rate pretty nearly all dav long. At this point it was different. So different was itln tact that those who ventured on the beach were positively cold, unless accompanied by wraps and overcoats. A stiff breeze, bracing and filled with ozone, swept in from the ocean and made life here decidedly worth the liying. A Pittsbnrger Doing It Right. David Jackman, of the "Westlnghouse Machine Company, Pittsburg, who is a reg ular summer visitor, is determined to enjoy himself thoroughly this summer. He has equipped a magnificent cottage on Massa chusetts avenue, and he and his family are expected to take possession on July 2. " The notable feature connected with the estab lishment of Mr. Jackman will be the stable. In it will be kept a couple of Kentucky saddle horses, a team of genuine English cobs and four diminutive but speedy ponies, to be used by the female portion of the fam ily for beach driving. The determination of Mr. Jackman to have a cottage of his own is by no means confined to that gentleman alone. More and more of that sort of thing is being in dulged in every year. It threatened to be come a fad three years ago when "Ham" Dlsston, the millionaire saw' manufacturer of Philadelphia, built a cottage that is a veritable palace. It was furnished with the rarest and daintiest products of the loom and workshop. A corps of trained servants, who had been schooled in the art of serving people at the seashore, were engaged, and other rich men stood aloof and watched the experiment with interest It was a success, and next season others who could followed suit Besides Mr. Jackman's big establishment Secretary of State "William F. Harrity is also to have one here this season. As that of Mr. Harrity will be the Democratic Mecca of Pennsylvania it will be more on the order of business, but it will be pretty nne at that Flttsbnrgers Thick as 'Files. The crowd of Pittsburgers here during the past week almost approached the size of a small army. It would have been a dim cult thing at any hour of the day to swing a cat on the boardwalk, in the merry-go-round or on Young & McShea's ocean pier with out coming in contact with either a resident of Pittsburg or her sister city just across the riyer. The National Council of the Jr. O. TJ. A. M. brought a great many from the Gas City, but aside from these there were many others. "William AwL of Pittsburg, accompanied by his mother and Miss Kate Hartman, are registered at the Traymore. James S. Potter and wife, of the East End, are down for the season, Mr. and Mrs. Potter take dally drives along the beach behind a coal black team drawing a stylish landeau. Charles J. Goetthman, of Allegheny City, accompanied by his two pretty sisters, are regular bathers. Elmer El wyn Mclntyre, son of the--well-known stove founder ol South Pittsburg is at the United States.

Mr. and Mrs. George C Dawson, of the East End, are registered at Congress Hall. Mafor Montooth has engaged quarters at the Windsor. He Will be here on July 2. Miss Pauline Nesbitt, well known in Pittsburg society circles, is considered the best female swimmer in the Pittsburg col ony. H. J.

Nobody bnt the Landladies Ba'.y Yet Pittsburgers Expected in Hordes Next Week Not Many Improvements Made This Season The Fishing and Boating. Chautauqua, June 25. Special After a long winter's rest,Cbautanqua is brightening np into its usual summeractivity. Only a few people have so far arrived, but next week promises to be a lively one. At present the most life is manifested by the landladies, whose cottages are open for engagements for summer boarders. Native Chautauquan landladies are a wonderland production, and the unfortunates who engage board in advance by letter miss tbo pleasure of studying the character of this unique people. They vie with each other in their efforts to fill up their cottages, and see which can furnish the greatest inducements. "We have most elegant company." said one of the ladies to a young man. "There are two bankers' daughters, a sweet singer and several ministers' daughters among our boarders. I know you would find them very entertaining." "Oh; do you wish to come right away?" asked another. "Now here is just the place for you. There are a gentleman and his daughter here. The young lady is really beautiful and perfectly charming. I know you should like her and there are no other young men here yet." Another told of "a nice young feller from Buffalo what wants a roommate," and she declared be was "just like you, sir." All furnished the most pleasant rooms in the f; rounds. The people on the hill declare the ake front is terrible: lake files have eaten up quite a number of people; the air is damp: and, lastly, many fish die during the sum mer, causing a dreadiul odor. The latter is nialnlv fish storv. tbou!ih there are occasion ally a few dead "bullheads" fonnd floating on tne lake. There are numerous theories as to the cause of death, but no post mortem has disclosed the actual facts. One theory has been that the fish fight, and some fisher men with especially strong nerves have de clared they have seen fights between "bull heads." A few mornings ago a whole regi ment of dead fish was found floating a couple of miles lrom Chautauqua, and now it is de cided that the men who claim to have seen fights are either good liars even for fisher men or theie was a mighty big battle the night before. . Notwithstanding all these deaths in the fish family, the fishing is still good and mns calonge weighing from 5 to 18 pounds aie quite abundant The native fishermen are catching most of the fish, however, and the city boys must be content to buy them or land empty handed. Chautauqua is improved somewhat over last year, but not to the extent expected. Unavoidable delays have prevented numer ous proposed improvements. The amphi theater was to have been enlarged, but the architect decided It would be best to wait another year and build it entirely new. The boat service on the lake this season will be much better than usual, as the rival lines have combined. Last season there was considerable rivalry and some racing, the boats trying to make the several landings at the same hour. Under present conditions we will have boats oftener and not so close together. So far there are very few Pittsburgers here, but many are announced to arrive next week. -Chautauqua is famous for the number of Pittsburgers who summer on its shores and this season promises to be no exception, but many more than the usual number are expected. STILL COOL AT THE FALLS. Eighty-five Degrees Is the Highest Yet Beached The New Goat island Drive Is a Failure Pennsylvania People Already on the Ground. Niagara Falls, N. Y., June 25. Special.' The cool breezes have been much enjoyed this week. While New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other large centers were suf fering with the heat, and even lamous sum mer lesorts like Saratoga and Blchfleld weie roasting their visitors. Niagara bad opened her spacious cool arms and entertained her visitors with n temperature that did not mount above 85 on the hottest day. Yester day many or the Eastern delegates from the Chicago Democratic Convention were here. They were thankful to get a breath of pure, cool air and a taste of something "decent to eat," as they said. The new drive on Goat Island is pronounced a failure. The State Beserva tion Commissioners acknowledge It them selves. It is not finished yet, although the time of the contract expired on June 1. The new drive was placed back in the Island more that 60 feet from the shore through a dense thicket without a glimpse of the river except here and there wheie the road comes to the bank for some place of sight seeing. The old road skirted the bank all the way around and the outlook from it was glorious. The latest new thing at the Falls, and this is the greatest inventive spot bn earth It seems, is an observation tower. It is settled now that the cataract is to be illuminated at niht by electricity as well as the whirl pool rapids. But observation towers have not come. Two companies, one on the Ca nadian side and the other on tbo American, have been oiganized to build large steel towers with elevators, so that visitors can secare a comprehensive view of Niagara in all its beauty. It is expected that the tow ers will bo completed within a week. The great excursion season opened Thurs day when the Big Four route brought In six big trains full and other liues dumped in the city four more train loads.

BOBEBT DILL, Proprietor, iorth East, Pa. Last .week we issued a special announcement regarding our Summer Special ties, and to say that our headline speaks the truth hardly expresses it Not in our previous business career have we turned out the Refrigerators and Ice Chests that we had the pleasure of doing last week. The prices and qualities were the openers for them, and "away they went" So it was with our Baby Carriages. Prices were moved down, down, until there was barely a margin on them. But they had to suffer with the rest But we have more left. The hot weather continues and low prices pre vail. Our previous record on Parlor Furniture hardly requires their being mentioned. The simple fact that they dre our own manufacture is a guaran tee of their exceptional good qualities. We guarantee them to surpass any factory-made goods in the city. Can you go into any furniture house (but ours) in the city and see a se lection of over eighty Bedroom Suites? No, we know you cannot, for they haven't got the room to show them. But we can and do show them, along with the largest and best selected jine of housefurnishing goods to be found in the State.
