The Scranton club returned from their
trip Saturday and will meet the Provi
dence ciud at tne park today. They will
play on tne nome ground every day this
wees.
The stockholders of the Scranton club
held a meeting Saturday and struck a bal
ance on its account for the season. It was
discovered that they had cleared $5,000
during tne season.
Cincinnati wants the Baitimores to plav
donble games in that city on the coming
western trip, but Manager Hanlon has no
idea of tiring bis men unnco.ssarily at
mis stage oi tne race and refuses.
The Providence team are to play a
picked team in Bridgeport on Sept. 19.
The picked team will be captained by

games, and he is unable to grip his bat

bis stick work.
Leo Smith will not be seen at Bhort
again this season. His band was severely
injured in a game recently and Manager
Cabill will place biin on the bench unless
there should be an urgent necessity for
him to cover right field.
The Bostons are verv weak iust now in
their batteries. Both New York and
Baltimore have a decided advantage over
the champions in this respect, and as the
race has turned into a driving finish be
tween the three leaders both clubs should
easily beat them out.
The Baltimore have nineteen more
games to play this season. Oue ef these is
with Chicago on the home grounds ttiis
afternoon. Hanlon aud his men will
leave Baltimore to-uigbt fur Louisville,
whore they will play tliree games. Turue
games follow in Cincinnati aud then come
live in Pittsburg. Two of those are the
postponed games of Jjecorution Day.
Three cootests with St. Louis comes next,
and then three with Cleveland.
The close race for the National league
pennaut has callod forth the following
suggestive letter from President Young to
each umpire: "Ihe present race tor trie
leairue pennant bias fair to be tue most
closely and hotly contested in the history
of the national game. While I huve every
confluence in tbe ability and Integrity oi
my official staff of umpires, i shall expect
every man to make an extra effort to do
good work. Tbe fact that three clubs are
fighting hard for the coveted prize is a
matter that does not and should nffoct our
work or concern us in the least as officials.
In umpiring all games you must, aud I am
sure you will, ignore the question as to
who toe contestants are, aud strive ouly
to do good, olean, honest work, without
the slightest fear or favor."
TRACK WAS SLOW AN0 MUDDY.
Rata Also Interfered with the Attend
ance on Saturday.
Tbe rain played havoc with the at
tendance at Saturday's races of the
Gentlemen's Driving club and also
spoiled the attrsctions of the card by
oanaing numerous scratches and mak
ing the track so muddy that fast time
was out of the question.
ihe management begins to think that
Interest in the races is not what it
should be and will make a bid for more
general pnblio patronage by enforcing
rales against slow and nosporsmanlike
scoring and possibly bv soliciting the
attendance of non-professionable driv
ers and horses from out of town.
The road race developed an event of
uncertainty when Horace, owned by
Dr. Wentz, won the first beat. Th
following heats were won easily by
B H. T. '
The first heat of the 2.50 elass in
cluded a '.spirited contest in the home
stretch between Maud L. and Little
Anea, the former winning by a length.
Pet Uand made a strong Did for nrst
position in the second beat bat could
not be kept in band.
In tbe J-minute class Frank a gave
Mr. Shelly's Beauty a royal spurt in
the second heat, and tbe mare's win
furnished one of the best finishes of the
day.
Duke and Mollie were tbe only start
ers in the 2 40 class. The first heat
was won by a scant length and the last
heat quite handily by the mare.

WHEEL WHIRRS.
E. M. Highley, of Sommersworth. N. Y.
has invented a unicycle which promises to
double tbe speed of the fastest bicycle. It
is seven feet in diameter, is worked with
pedals and searing connected with two
wheels in the centerof the machine, which
acts on tbe outer wheel, and it is steered
by the action of tbe body of the rider.
Suit was recently brought against the
California Midwinter international Ex
position by several racing men. It 1s
olaimed that through Charles Wells, Wil
llam Terrill and Harry F. Terrill the com
pany offered prizes for a bicycle meet held
on the grounds, bnt that tbe prizes were
i forthcoming after tbe races. A ver
dict of f 145 was rendered in favor of the
wheelmen.
The mayor and park commissioners of
Brooklyn have decided to forbid bicyclists
the uie of the patbsjin ProBpeot.park. They
ran over too many people.
GENERAL SPORTING NOTES.
Johnnie Mnrpby, of Boston, who is
matched to fight Billy Plimmer at tbe
Olympic club at New Orleans Sept. 34, is
in Baltimore accompanied by his trainer
and manager, James Conry,and is occupy
ing training quarters at Jake Kilraiu's
hotel.
Only one tennis match was played at
Hamilton, Out., Saturday, the Hnal in
the man's doubles, in which E. P. Flsber,
of New York, after winning almost every
thing else, was beaten, with R. Moreton,
of Hamilton, as partner, by H. E. Avery,
of Detroit, and A. F. Fuller, of Boston.
Ons Laugh on Us.
Wilkei-Barre Timet.
If the Republicans on the state and
Lackawanna oounty tickets are as tough
looking as their portraits in the Scranton
Tribune Saturday would make them, they
are a sorry lot. But they are not.
Country Bonds.
Tare is not a rural town within board
ing distauce of a groat city which could
noirt slight expense assure itself all the
city hoarders that it could accommodate
by the simple process of systematically
and intelligently improving and beautify
ing its roads. If it wet to appoint a town
committee with power to employ experts,
or to obtain expert advice, and to carry out
the suggestions thus obtained in road im
provement, the mere public advertisement
of thut proceeding would attract boarders
from nil directions. The expense would
not lie great. In nearly every case the
gravid or cracked stone necessary for the
construction of a serviceable, well drained
road can be obt.tiu?!l within moderate
distance.
There is, for example, iu soma parts of
Oratujc county, in New York state, a kind
of soft red saudstoiiejo be found in great
abundance, which crushes readily under
the wheels and makes a hard, firm road
bed, which is never dusty and never mud
dy, which is yielding to the horses' feet
and most agreeable to ride over. Ordinary
gravel can bo used with almost equally
good results. The main thing is to secure
Bomethiug like .scientific knowledge in the
construction of the road and in the mix
ture of materials. The vicious idea that
nnylxxly can muke a road by shoveling dirt
into the middle of it from the gutter, or,
what is tho same thing in a wholesale
form, hauling it there by means of a
scruper," must be abandoned at tho out
set, aud not only abandoned but prohibit
ed. Until that is done no reform will be
possible. Century.
An Uncouth Mode of lturlnl.
Of all tho modes of burial ever practiced
by creatures in the shape of human beings
the method of the Queensland nomuds is
certainly tho most uncouth. After drying
the corpse in tho sun and knocking out its
teeth for keepsakes, they deposit it on a
framework of rough poles and bury it nn-
der a few nrmsful of rushes and old kan
garoo skins, leaving the bush wolves to
sing its requiem.
Jso member of the dead man's tribe will
settle within a mile of his grave for fear
of being haunted by the spooks making
tbe burial place their midnight rendez
vous. Tho metaphysical opinions of the
Australian aborigines prove, indeed, that
savages can be afflicted with an abundance
of supernaturalism without betraying a
trace of anything deserving the name of
religious sentiment.
They believe' iu evil spirits whistling In
tho blasts of the storm wind, und try to
exorcise them by spitting in the direction
of the sky; but for the conceptions of tho
deity, of future existence, of repeutunce,
ntonement and conscience, their language
has not even a definite word. From some
where iu the land of their forefathers
eastern Asia, perhap9 tliey have imported
a notion faintly resembling the Buddhist
doctrine of metempsychosis, and believe
that animals may bo reborn as men, und
men us human beings of a superior rank.
Professor Oswald in Good Words.
A I'lsll with Teeth on Ills Tongue.
The biggest of fresh water fishes, the
tirapaimu" of the Amazon, in South
America, which grows to six feet in
length, lias teeth on its tongue, so that the
latter resembles tho file and is used as
such. Some kinds of trout also have the
sumo peculiarity. Fishes that swallow
their prey entire have their teeth bo sup
ported on Uexiblo buses as to bend back-
word but not forward, in order that their
victims shall not escape uftcr they have
been onco seized. In ages gone by there
were ferocious sharks, such as would make
a mouthful of you without blinking, sev
enty feet in length.
Plenty of their teeth have been found
which aro five Inches long, whereas the big
gest of the teetli belonging to sharks that
exist at the present day are one and a hulf

Where Her l'rayer Knded.
Little Fanny, five years old, was spend
ing a week at her grandmother's, when
word ciuue of tho urrivul in her home of a
baby brother. That night, as grundma
was putting her to bed, she noticed thut
the child did not mention the new comer
in her prayers. She had asked God to
bless her grandmother A and hci
grandmot her II , and both grandfathers
by name, all the aunts and uncles by name,
aud lust her dear father aud mother and
darling little sister Hell, even the old
house dog and tho old barn cat.
"Why, Funny," said the aggrieved old
lady, after the reBouuding "Amen" had
signified that Fanny's petitions were over,
"you have not asked God to bless the deut
baby brother."
"ho," cried the child; "I have not. Bell
can do the praying for him." Wide

It is useful to huve u note of the first ap
pearance of a word in our language. At
tho end of the first volume of the third
edition of Southey's "Letters Written Dur
ing a Journey in Spain," occurs a transla
tion of the "Hules of the Hoyal College oi
Surgery lit Madrid, founded by Carlos III,
1787." Here we find that the second pro
fessorship "shall be of physiology and hy
giene." To this word the following note
is attached, "I do not understand this
word, perhajp it means the doctrine of
health." Soutbey was a great reader, aud
had a verbal memory to be envied. It is
obvious that he had never met with hy
giene before. Notes and Queries.
When the Earth Was Young.
When tho earth was young, says Dr.
Bull, astronomer royal for Ireland, it went
around so fast thut the day was only three
hours long. The earth was liquid then, and
as it spun around and around at that fear
ful speed, and as the sun caused ever in
creasing tides upon its surface, it at last
burst in two. The smaller part became
the moon, which has been going around
the earth ever since at an increasing dis
tance, lho iulluence of the moon now
rises tides on the eurth, and, while there
was any liquid to operate on in the moon
tho earth returned the compliment. New
