S. ft MIDSUMMER MEETS AND FETES Under the Auspice of. Various Athletic Associations. LIVE KOTES OF THE LOCAL TVHEELMEN Contrary to expectations the Fair "Weather God has been victorious ever since the national holiday. If there is a period -when he is expected to lose his power, it is just at this time of the year, when dates lor fixtnres of various-kinds have been unalter ably set, but 92 seems to be making a great record for itself in this retjard. pecoration Day was pleasant as was May 23, when the inter-collegiates held their meet. Later on came the two meets of the Three A's. Both fell on fair days, and last of all the Fourth dawned bright and sunshiny. Not a cloud appeared in the horizoa except those brought up bv the sulphurous vapor ot ex ploding bombs and these were dissipated long before they assumed any size. Such a continued streak of good luck has seldom happened in the history of "Western Penn sylvania and should all other dates of the season, set aside for fixtures, meet with the same treatment by the weather authorities, the year will stand out as a bright example ot what is possible in Utopian times. There are some big events scheduled in the amateur programme for the near future, notably the tourney of the Pittsburg Tennis Club, which will start on Tuesdav, and in which most of the best players in "Western Pennsylvania will par ticipate. Then there are" to iollow club field meets, open field meets, cycling runs and road races and baseball without end. It is hardly possible that all these will meet with fair weather, but so far as the almanacs can be relied upon, most of the dates have been well chosen and the chances are that the majority of the events will have fair treatment at the hands of the weather clerk. The principal event of the present week will be the fourth annual tournament of the Pittsburg Tennis Club. It will commence on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the grounds of the club on Craig street, and will last five days. It is not known yet exactly how many of the players of "Western Penn sylvania will be there, for the entry list will not close until noon to-morrow, but there are enough names already in the hands of the Treasurer, E. B. Vaill, to as sure the clubthat this will be the largest and most successful tourney ever held in "Western Pennsylvania. Such players as Messrs. S."W. B. Moorhead, Charles A Buck, Thomas Ewing, Jr., Arthur Pier, J. Brooks, R. K. Reed. Martin Coster, F. X. Barr, E. B. Vaill, and Messrs Porter and "Woods, if Sewickley, and the crack players of Shas burz, the East End, "Wilkinsburg, Latrobe and the "Three As" will be there, and these alone will make the all comers sets inter esting, especially the singles, for the winner of these will be entitled to play for the Grogan challenge cup.now in tne possession of Mr. C A Bjick, ofJatoona. The cup -mSreiTra-it me single championship of the""Westera Pennsvlvania Association of the IT. & X. L. T. A Mr. Buck, the present holder of the cup, is 28 years of n;e and for years he has ranked "among the first ten "Western Penn sylvania players. Last year he de feated Marshall Christy, of Sewickley, who held the cup, and became the singles champion of Western Pennsyl vania. The Pittsburg club, however, has a great desire to have one of its members hold the championship and places great hope in the work of Mr. Moorhead or one of the others mentioned above. Mr. Moor head has recently visited Orange, X. J., v here he made a good fight against B. Stevens. lie is a Yale roan, in his twenty fourth year, and has distinguished himself in many of the larger tourneys. In 1890 he won the Grogan cup, losing it to Marshall Christy in 1891, but he hopes to win it this time. Thomas Ewing, Jr., is a Harvard man, who played a good game herefor the past few years. He recently participated in the Orange,X.J., tourney with Mr. Moor head losing in the final semi-round to Hobart and MacMullcn. Arthur Pier is also a Harvard man and is the youngest good player here, being only 19 years old. He has played a good game at college and in practice sets here and may surprise his friends this week. E. B. Vaill is playing a good game this year, and is es pecially expert in doubles with Mr. Swing. Martin" Coster, aTrinitv Collece man.is one of the best local players and is playing a strong game this season. Judging from ap pearances, the cup is liable to become the property of any of those named, while Sewickley hopes to have one of its cham pions, Messrs. Christy and Brooks, come off victorious. The National L. A "W. meet at "Washing ton, commencing a week from to-morrow, will take away quite a large number of the local 'cyclers. At least 12 of the Allegheny 'Cyclers have announced their intention of leaving on Saturday by train, to return on their wheels after the meet is over. Then there are many of the Keystones, some of the East End Gym wheelmen, and a few of the unattached riders, who will join the throng. It begins to look as if this meet will be the most successful on record, and if the roads are good when the finish is reached it is a foregone conclusion that the railroads will not reap a large harvest in re turn fares. Last year the Sewickley Athletic Asso ciation held a summer tournament, which was interesting and entertaining from every point of view. This year the association has decided to adopt a different plan, and will hold a regular country fair on the grounds commencing Tuesday. The ladies have been interested in the affair, and have taken hold with a hearty good will, in con sequence of which it is bound to be a grand success. '"Whatever of profit there is will be turned over to the association for its benefit. A more propitious occasion that Thursday evening could not have been chosen by the Superior Athletio Association tor its lawn fete. The noon shone forth bright and clear and the air was balmy and laden with the odors of the myriads of flowers in the surrounding gardens. The grounds of the association were lit by Chinese and Japanese lanterns, and the scene resembled fairyland on a semi-tropic night. In the center of the diamond (used for the baseball division of the association) was a huge stand of flowers, interspersed with refreshing and cooling beverages and charming dishes on the side, and the 200 ladies and gentlemen wandered about listening to the music of an orchestra in a state of thorough enjoyment until the hour when ghosts are supposed to walk.. It was a successful affair, one of the most success ful ever given by any athletic organization in this vicinity, and the best of it 'is that there is a general demand for its repetition, which may come later on. The Pittsburg cricketers came back from Chicago in an unenviable frame of mind, for they suffered defeat when they did not ex pect it, but there were mitigating circum stances which take away the sting. In the first plaee.the grounds at Chicago were very poor. A circus had played there only a few days before and the soil was full of ruts where heavy wagon wheels had cut their way. These were even in the way at the wickets and, besides, the rains had left the grounds soggy and hard to play on under anv circumstances. A visiting team, no matter how strong, is always at a disadvan tage under such surroundings and the Pitts burg team was accustomed to playing on good, hard ground. It is no wonder that thev had an uphill fight to make, for" thev bearded the lion in nis den and.were weakened by the absence of good plivers who conld not leave the city. It is hard to have the Western championship get away from the city, but the cricketers have the satisfaction of knowing that It the Chi cago team were to come here it would sutler defeat at the hands of the same men who were downed. On the Fourth a friendly tourney be tween the Pittsburg Tennis Club and the Latrobe Club took plaoe at Latrobe. A very pleasatt day was experienced, and, while there were no renowed experts pres ent, some very fair playing took plaoe. The Pittsburg Club contingent came out a little ahead on the total, but not enough to make the Latrobe players feel very badly. Martin Coster, of the P. G's, played a good game. He defeated the Latrobe champion, Mr. Dumm, two out of three sets. Mr. Barr, also 'of the P. C's, was also in good form. The East End Gym Association is pre paring for its club field day on July 16. Last Monday evening the newly elected officers were installed and to-morrow even ing a special meeting will be held for the purpose of deciding upon the new constitu tion which has been prepared. Jhis con tains some important features, one of which is the appointment of special committees to take charge of the different divisions of the club's affairs. Under such an arrangement it is expected that the affairs of the club will take an active start ahead and that events will follow each other more rapidly than ever. The Keystone Club is off on a run to-day. They left yesterday afternoon by boat for Brownsville and will ride back (60 miles) to-day, taking dinner at Monongahela City. The runs set for the rest of the season have been fixed as follows: Tuesday, July 12, evenlmj run. Start at 745 P K. Sundav, Jnlv 17. to Keatlnss for break fast. Start at 7 A. x.

Tuesday, August 33. evening run. Start at 7:33 p. M. Philadelphia cyclers are far behind the Pittsburg wheelmen in the matter of club runs. A programme from the former city reached here during the week, and the wheelmen here were surprised to find that the longest runs were not over 15 or 20 miles, while at Pittsburg an expedition is not called a run unless the distances are over 28 or 30 miles, and more frequently the runs are over 50 miles. It is the general rule for club captains to call runs for such distances as shall be suitable for the largest number of riders. It such a rule was prevalent In Philadelphia where the list referred to was prepared, then It ap pears that there are very few good road riders there, while in Pittsburg the major ity of the wheelmen are of the first class. In order to test the merits of the riders of the two cities it might be well to institute an inter-city road race. The result would be interesting however it might turn out. HOEACE J. HlLU Wheelmen's Whispers. Air open road race will be one of the feat ures of Auzust, under the .auspices of the Keystone Club. The Allegheny Cyclers aro off on a run to day to Tarentum.

A suvber of Latrobe players came up to the city yesterday and had a friendly tour ney at the Pittsburg Tennis Club grounds on Craig street. Hi HAD AN EVIL BY. Two Crossed Optic Caused m Cruel Attack From a Colored Man. Baltimore, July & Cross-eyedness came near costing John Carlow, colored, his life yesterday. As is well known, some colored people beijeve in the evil eye, .which, among them, is generally, associated with eyesight that is not exactly straight. This beliei is so strong among some of them that crossing fingers and turning around in a chair are often resorted to in order that the evil effects of seeing a cross-eyed person may be avoided. Leonard Harris, colored, is apparently a firm believer in the evil eye. When he went to work on the Philadelphia wharf yesterday ha met Carlow, whose eyes i looked in different directions. This hoodooed him, and he accordingly went away, and finally landed at the "Weems Line wharf. Here his bug-a-boo again presented himself, and he became in furiated. He warned Carlow never to cross his path again, or else there would be trouble. The tongue warfare was nip and tuck. Finally Harris struck Carlow and sent him headlong in the basin. Apparently, Carlow could not swim, as he sank three times before he could be rescued. When brought ashore, after, hard work, he was re suscitated and sent to the Maryland Uni versity Hospital in the Southern patrol wagon. His condition is considered very serious. Harris was arrested by Sergeant Riley, and Justice Schenkel committed him to jail to await the result of Carlow's injuries. CANADIANS 6TBIKE IT BICE.

Tempel, the first man ever tried on the charge of stealing electrioltv, has been discharged, in the Court of Criminal Correction, by Judge Claiborne. The Judge would not concede that the offense was petty larceny and the grand jury would .not allow that it was fraud, so when the case came up yesterday Attorney McDonald entered a plea for ac quittal, which was concurred in, and the defendant was discharged. Tempel, who is a hardware dealer, was accused of having tapped a wire of one of the electric light companies to get his illumination free.

For weeks to come workers in the mills, the workshops, the slores, the counting houses, the banks, and, in Tact, all the sons and daughters of toil, whatever their occupation in this busy world of purs, will each take his" or her turn of much-needed rest, some hieing themselves to the quiet Mountain Retreats, inhaling their bracing, heaven-given, strength-restoring atmospheres; others, again, pre ferring the balmy but invigorating breezes of the Deep Blue Sea, listening to what the wild waves of Old Mother Ocean are saying, and, in many instances, listening to more youthful andpleasanter voices than Old Mother Ocean'sj too. Then there be many who eke out immense chunks of solid comfort whiling away the hours in the enjoyment of piscatorial triumphs on the banks of some bub bling stream. All, however, are away with one intent to recuperate from the effects of a year's hard toil, trusting to return strengthened and built up, en abling them more successfully to fight the battl es of life for another year.
