'M'CORMICK AND THE SPORTS. , Ho Interviews Somo Lady Riders Regard in fir Bicycle Clothes. Tougli Crowds st tho Ring Side-Some Good Storied About Riotous Toughs at Prize Fights and How They Were Managed. • [COPYRIGHT, 1896.] I had talks with some of the riders .in the recent bicycle contest among women in Madison Square garden re garding the best dress for ladies to wear when "biking." Very few of them fa vored bloomers. Said one of the most experienced of the riders: "Of course the ideal garment for biking is bifur cated and the tighter the fit, provided it is comfortable, the better, but such a garment cannot bo worn by a woman 'in public with propriety or modesty. It can be, though, if she wears a coat with skirts which reach just below her knees when she is dismounted. Such trousers, for trousers they are and nothing else, should button just below the knees, and the legs should be en cased in leather leggings, in all but summer weather when canvas leg gings should be used. In such garb, a woman has all the freedom of move ment required for her lower limbs In bicycling, and she doesn't feel that she is attracting attention as a freak, as she does when she is arrayed in bloomers." This lady, who wis one of the really haiulr.ome ones among the lot, further said that she found bifurcated garments of the kind so desirable for women's wear in cold, snowj- and racing weather that she wore them then, with but a silk petticoat between them and her ! gown. She added: "My husband will tell you that I am much healthier now than I was when, T wore the orthodox number of skirts, and besides," she add ed, with a laugh, "my laundry bills are much lighter." A lot of well-known sporting men were seated in the cafe of the Gilsey house the other dej r discussing the un fortunate glove fight in an uptown TIIKY FAVOR TROUSfcRS AND A COAT. stable which resulted in the death o: young- Ilenry Rodriquez. There is stil n good deal of mystery connected wit! this affair, which cost not only the life of Rodriquez, but also that of his young sweetheart, who died of emotion upor hearing of his sad end. The con versa tion drifted to the difference betweer the manner of conducting glove con tests, or fights, nowadays, by recog ni/ed athletic clubs and the old style bare-knuckle fights during the so-callec "palmy days of the ring.*' Barnej Aaron was in the group, and during o pause, I turned to him and said: "liar ney, you've had lots of tough experi ence in your time. Tell us of some oJ the lough times you had going to some of th? old fights." Thus abjured, Bar ney took his cigar from between his Jips and while its smoke exhaled in rings, meditated a moment. Then let ting his thoughts run back for manj! years, he slowly began: "My son (Barney always calls me his "son" when we talk of the good old days), I think about as tough a time as I ever had going to a fight was the night we left Pittsburgh to see Hilly Edwards and Sam Collyer fight their last battle. You were along. Suppose you tell about it." The tables had been turned on mc by Harney, who was the hero of that never-to-be-forgott m night, and in re sponse to the wishes of the company I told the story, first making Mr. Aaron promise that lie would give me as good a one in return. The rendezvous for the Edwards-Collyer fight was Pitts burgh, and the day before it occurred there was gathered in that smoky city "a swell mob" that could not be dupli cated anywhere else in America. Prom inent in it were some of the mous criminals in America, though, of course, they were not "wanted" just then for their deeds. The "tip" for the starting point was the levee on the Monougnheia river side of "Ilard- Bcrabble," which comprises the "point" or extreme western portion of Pitts burgh, where the Allegheny and the Monongahela unite and form the Ohio river. "Midnight" was the time desig nated for starting, and on arriving there T found that Ihe levee was being repaired, and that its cobble-stone or bowlder pavement had been ripped up and piled in small h'llocks. The craft engaged for t'.io voyagers was a sand flat about 120 feet long, 20 feet wide and four deep, and it was without deck excepting about five feet at each end. It was moored one end touching the shore and other out stream. A narrow gang plank extended from the flat to the shore, and the ticket-takers were John alias "Red" Leary and Tom Allen, the St. Louis pugilist. The gang plamc was so narrow that only one person could walk on it at a time. Those who had tickets gained access to the flat without trouble. There were a good many people who tried to "beat" their way on board, but very few of them succeeded. It was a cn.se of ticket, the price, or overboard. At least 20 would-be spectators were knocked off that plank into the water, which was only knee-deep at the entrance end of the flat, and many were the curses and the threats of vengeance of those com pelled to take involuntary foot-baths and their sympathizers. By half-past twelve o'clock the flut was so heavily living-freighted that her gunnels at the outer end were almost down to the water's edge. Many of those on the barge were so frightened that they would have given twice the price of a ticket to be permitted to go ashore, but they could not get the chance. Just then along came the tug which was to tow us to the fighting ground. She threw a line which was fastened to a cleat, and then she backed away, pull ing us from the shore. As she did so the shore end of the flat, which had been resting on the shore, sank down two or three feet, birching everyone shore ward a bit. We were packed so closely together that we could not fall, or we would. Then the mob of disappointed "stay behinds" on shore made a rush for the bowlder piles and began a ter rible fusillade at us. For a full minute it fairly rained cobble stones. Nearly every man on the barge had a pistol, and as quickly as they could be pulled out, a rapid fire was begun shoreward. At that time natural gas was not used in Pittsburgh mills or furnaces. Times were good, and the flickering flame* from the tops of a hundred furnace chimneys along the shore on the op posite side of the river made, fitfully and ruddily, half illumined the scene. Many persons on the flat hud been hit by the bowlders, mrd several of them were badly hurt, one so severely that he died the next day. Their groans drew attention from the retreating mob on shore. j We were no sooner out of ot># danger, however, before we were confronted with another even more terrible. It was midsummer and the upper seams in .the sides of the Ant had dried apart and weie leaky. Water was pouring in ■through the seams, and unless the boat was lightened she would sink. Several times the tug, a stern-wheel steamer called the L. C. McCormick, attempted to come alongside of us, but each time so many tried to board her at once that the barge was in imminent danger of [being swamped. Among those who did •get on the tug, however, were Barney *Aaron and Lenrj\ The crowd on the •barge regarded their getting on the [boat as desertion, and hooted them jvehemently. Then it was that Aaron .'showed how easy it is for a man of pluck and determination to conquer a mob. He got the captain of tlie tug to shove a gang plank over its bow and to approach near enough to the barge to let him jump hack on it. The. moment that he bounded on it he exclaimed: "Now, you damned cowards, what's the matter with you? Harney Aaron's [with you? Just siow your gab, keep •your heads and when the tug comes jalong again, jest let enough people •come on board of her to lighten this barge up a bit. She's as safe aa a Cunarder and I'm going to stay on her all night. She's a good deal cooler than that hot old steamer, take my word for it." Barney's words soothed the crowd. In a few moments the tug came along side, and when a hundred or so of peo ple got on the tug, the barge was so lightened that her leaky seams were above the water line and she was ns he said, a good deal cooler than the steam er. Some of Pittsburgh's first families were represented in that crowd, but the great mass of it were toughs of the toughest kind. The Scripture tells us that "the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel." I can tell you that the light est p"iay of such a mob is very trying to people of ordinary sensibilities. J. B.

Martin, In Scrlbner's Maga zine. AN ODD PAIR. fRIENDS is harder to git than money er fame," said the Vi 11 ago Philoso ished settling a quarrel betwo en two of the boys and mado them Bhake hands. "Yes, sir; a troo, genooine friend is a mighty slceerce article, so keep all yo've got. Some times a. friend ull help a man through a tight place when all the money in the world wudn't be no use." "Thet's BO; thet's so," said Undo Jerry, as be rocked slowly back and forth on the vine-covered porch. "Ef you want to know what reel friendship Is, you want to watch the dumb cree turs. It seems ez though the very fact that they can't speak out their feelin's makes 'em show 'em In their actions plainer than folks ever can." We all quieted down and curled our bare legs under us, for the old man spoke in that measured, reminiscent tone wo had learned to recognize as the precursor of a story. It should be known that Uncle Jerry and the Vil lage Philosopher were the chief be guilers of the waking hours of nil the boys in our quiet, western New York village. The former's stories were more interesting than those of the most absorbing book, and the latter's moral izing was of the eminently practical kind which appeals even to the boyish intellect. When the eager listeners were all in the circle about the two old men and had relapsed into complete silence, Uncle Jerry resumed. "Love and friendship are sut'nly cur'us things. Et seems ez though the more unlike two | >lks, er two creeturs, is, the more they think of each other. You all know how affectionit a horse era dog can be, even to the ugliest mates er the meanest masters. Well, it's jest the same among the wild ani mals. I've seen a old bear lose her life tryin' to save her cubs. I've seen deer and even wildcats thct thought ez much of each other ez any humans ever did. Tliet's nature, uv course., but sometimes you'll find two creeturs thet you'd think ought to be born cne emieß ez affectionit an' devoted ez the sickest pair uv lovers you ever see. The strangest case uv thct kind, an' the one I shall never fcrgit, wuz the cose uv a big Newfoundland dog an* an old gray wolf thct stuck to each other through all kinds uv hard luck till death separated 'em; a good deul bet ter'n some folks thet is reg'larly mar ried an' pledged before the altar. "Now some folks say that dogs an' wolves is related, but everybody knows thet they ain't gener'ly much love lost at ween 'em. Howsumcver, this wuz a true love affair. Mebbo you've heerd tell uv it., cuz I know at the tame it wuz •"THERE WAS MR. DOG A HANGING." the talk uv the hull country round. Ef the newspapers uv them times lied bin like they are now they wudn't a pi veil them two eny rest till they wuz photo graphed an* put in print, for they sure ly looked like the most ill-mated couple 3 on ever see.'* The old man hitched to a more com fortable position, and we knew that he was coming to the story at last. "Et wuz jest a few years after the war uv 'l2 when the Britishers burned most uv Washington and all uv Buffalo, but wuz licked out uv their boots by young Commodore Terry and his American sailor boys. Lots uv folks wuz comin* to western New York, an' the wolves an' bears wuz gettin' cleared out sum, but they wuz still enough left to make trouble fer the farmers' pigpens an* sheep folds. The county officers wanted to git rid uv all the varmints, quz they thought et ud bring more settlers cf they did, so they offered $25 fer every wolf's pelt brought to the courthouse. "Twenty-five dollars wuz a lot more money then than it is now, an' all the j'oung fellers got out their rifles an' polished 'em up. Many a chilly win ter's night hev I set under n haystack an* wot£hed a sheej pen waitip' fer the wolves to show up. In the first winter I shot threo wolves, so that when spring- corao I had $75 to jingle in my pocket. I reely hadn't much to com plain uv, but I wuzn't satisfied. They wuz one old gray wolf I had tried my best to git, but ot seemed ez though a bullet cud go right through her with out any effeck more'n et wud have on Old Nick himself. She wuz big an' gontan gray an'always hungry. Every body knew her, er hed seen her, an' she hed robbed half the barnyards in the country, but never got caught. She wuz sliaper'n chain lightniu', an* her mate wuz jest ez cuuning. He wuz the big Newfoundland dog I spoke uv. lie had belonged to Jabez Ball, an' hed eloped with the old wolf. The dog never did any killin'. Ilis part uv tho work wuz to go along, on' look over the ground to see ef et wuz safe fer the old girl to step in an* nab a lamb. "The dog led a wild life, but he wuz tome enufT, and wud come up to a door stop when he wuz alone, an' beg fur suthin' to eat. He cud a bin shot easy enuff, but Jabez thought a better plan *ud be to tie a bell on his neck so's he cud be heard. He thought in that way we cud keep track on the old wolf, an' get a shot at her. But what do you s'posc that old wolf did? She wuz too smart to get caught in thet way. After tho dog wuz belled she went around with him some as ever, except that they never passed a house together. "On lots uv winter nights when the snow wuz sparklin' with the cold, the bell wud be heard comin' along tho road. The men wud jump up and run to the door, riflo in hand, but the dog wud go trotlin' by alone. Next morning', ef they looked in their back lot, they wud see where the wolf made a wide Ipj -'- 1 *'* A. DOZEN BULLETS WERE IN HER HIDE, circle round the house, comin' back in the road on the other side. "Every kind uv scheme wuz tried to ketch that pair uv robbers, but it didn't work. They went right on stealin' an' killln', stealin' an' killin', ez ef they wuz never goin' to stop. After the bell wuz put on the dog he got. scary tew, ail' wudn't come round the house when eny men folks wuz there. It seemed ez though he cud tell, fer he never made a mistake. Ef the men folks wuz all away the old dog wud coine eround ez niceez you please, an' beg fer suthin' to eat. lie acted so perlite the wimmen didn't hev heart to shoot him, even ef they hed nerve enuff to hold a gun. But the dog fln'ly cum to his end becuz ho mis calculated in dealin' with one woman. "One Sunday he come to Ram Crans ton's house when all the fam'ly, 'ceptin' Sam's growed-up darter Celindy, wuz uway at church. Celindy knowed the dog all right, an' though she wuz afraid uv him some, she made up her mind to trap him of she cud. "ICight in front uv the house stood the big well sweep. It wuz pulled down an' held with a ketch, an' the rope from the long end wuz hangin' down to the ground. Celindy kep' the dog around by throwin' bim a bone to pick. Then she made a slippin' noose iu the end uv the rope an' laid the coil on the ground, Then she set a plate uv the nicest kind uv vittuls inside thet coil. She sed afterwards thet sho wuz so excited an' nervous sho eud hardly stand, but tho dog didn't suspect nuthin' wroug. When he put his head down to eat, •Celindy unfastened tho ketch an' ez quick ez a wink there wuz Mr, Dog a-liaugin' 'bout four feet in the air, 110 wuz hangin' there when the folks come home frum church, nu' I tell you they wuz some surprised. "After the dog wuz gone the folks made up their minds to git rid uv his wife, so they sent a rider round to give notice uv a liuntin' bee. More'u a hun dred men an' boys turned out, an' they hed a regular beatin' in fer thet old wolf. They wuz ez many dogs ez men, a-barkin'to beat all. They wudn'tnever track the old boy, but, when he wuz, out uv the way they took the wolf's trail fll right. Well, the old wolf wuz hemmed in on all sides, an' fin'ly sho wuz located on the edge uv a big swamp. Sho wuz full uv fight to the last, an* after sho hed laid out a couple uv the dogs the others backed away. Hut thet settled her fate, cuz ez soon ez she wuz clear uv the dogs a dozen bullets wuz in her hide an' she dropped in her tracks, leavin' behind her the record uv lievin' killed the most sheep uv any wolf ever seen in western New York. "She left four uv the funniest-look in' little whelps you ever Bee, too. Some uv the men wanted to keep 'em, butbein* neither wolf ner dog, they wuz uglier than cither, un' lied to lie killed ez soon ez they began to grow up. "They wuz some discusliun ez to who should git the $25 bounty fer tho old wolf, cua et wtiz hard to Bay who hed killed her, but it wuz fin'ly settled thet et should go to Celindy Cranston fer gittin' the old dog out uv the way.

How to Mako a Pretty Dregser Cushion— Some Novelties In Pin Trays and Burnt Match Itccelvcrg—A Handsome Sofa Pillow. The very latest fud in bureau ar rangement is to have everything slight und dainty as possible. The handsome, square, cumbrous pin-cushion so long in vogue, is now placed on the toilet table in company with the pretty hand kerchief cuse and glove-box. But the up-to-date cushion for the bureau is al most small enough to be placed within my lady's work basket. It is long and narrow, with u frill of silk all around it, over which is gathered another frill of delicate lace, and the tiny bows, with which it is adorned, are mode of the narrowest of baby ribbon. A pretty sa\nple of one of these cushions was BUREAU CUSHION. made of pink satin, and stuffed with bran or sawdust until it was tight and firm as if carved out of wood or ivory. Over this was a cover of thin white lawn or bolting-clotli, with a few small rose buds embroidered in pink and light green. The cushion part, when stuffed, measured 7/ i inches in length, and not quite three inches in width. The silk frill, which was sewed around the edge, was pinked in sharp points, and was about 2/ a inches wide. The lace frill was the same width, and the small bows made of long, flat loops of daisy ribbon were placed about the edges, as shown in the drawing. Another of these cushions was made of blue satin, with forget-me-nots on the white cover; and still another, which was made of yellow silk, had but tercups embroidered across the top. Some are made eight-sided, like an elongated octagon, and we give an il lustration of one made in this style. The pin tray to accompany these cushions should be Dresden china or delicate celluloid, and long and narrow in shape. There is always something new in burnt match receivers, but few are so satisfactory as the diminutive glass tumblers so long in use. Another way of "fixing up" this use ful small receptacle is to make a net riN TRAY. work of daisy ribbon by sewing it to fit the glass anil carrj'ing the ends to meet six inches above the top, where they arc tied in a bow. Out of stiff, white cardboard cut a small circle, four inches in diameter, and notch the edge. Cut an opening in the center to fit the small glass, and slip over, letting it rest upon the edges of ribbon which form the holder. Now gather a frill of silk and lace, similar to the one described, about the pin cushion, and fasten it above the circle of cardboard, where it will flare out pret tily, quite like a flower. The fad for denim seems to outlast all others, chiefly because it has proved so useful and durable. Whole rooms are furnished in denim—cushions, table covers, portieres—are made of this ma terial, and it is even used on the floor in place of carpet. Now that it can be pro cured in various colors, all sorts of pretty things are rnnile of it. A handsome new sofa pillow is of gen erous dimensions, mid made out of two SOFA PILLOW. square pieces of blue denim. The larger piece is B8 inches square; the other is 18 inches square. The smaller piece is placed 011 the center of the larger, leav ing. of course, a margin of live inches all around. It is stitched on securely along three sides, and a few inches nteacli cud of the fourth side, leaving an opening largo enough to force an 18-inch-squaru pillow within. The margin is buttonholo-cdged with long, coarse stitchesin heavy white silk, and forms an effective border for the pillow, fulling loosely, and with its ir regular scallops, somewhat like a frill, The small square has a design stamped first, and then followed with fancy white braid, buttonhole-edged on with heavy white silk. It is finished about the edge with white cotton eord, tied at each corner in how and tassels. The long dotted tine In the illustra tion shows the length of slit left open' for the pillow to slip into its pretty case. Gretclien Trievie, in Homo Queen. Art of Drcn.lng a HalaU.
