Stevens, 104. A novelty of tho evening was the taking of llash light photographs of the members. The club has postponed its musicalo to be given at tho residence of Mr. Layton until next Tuesday on account of tho illness of Mrs. Lay ton.

Among those present wero Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Sniffln.

Miss 3lay Mangam, Mr. and Mrs. Royal Peabody. E. D.

Eldridgo, Miss Emma Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. James L. Brumley, jr. Miss Ella Brumley.

Charles H. Layton, Mr. and Mrs. Cloughs. Henry Ueitraann and Henry Kehltschting are anxious to bowl any two men teum in Brooklyn for a prizo of either $25 or friO, tho match to take Dlace on anv nllovs in tho city.

Thev can doubt that both Jackson and Choynski would consent to fight Goddard if they did not have prospects of better matches, but at tho same time they do not like to be dogged about by tho barrier champion, who is always challenging somobody. Whon it was learned that Goddard would be in the city about tho samo time as Choynski Parson Davies, tho latter's manager, at onoe began negotiations with Daly for a match, but was still in a bad Ax, for Jackson was on his hands and he knew that Goddard would bo after him. Now there is no man whom Jackson would rather meet than Goddard, except Corbett. Corbett would give him a chance to place himself at the top of his class, the place he has struggled hard for for years. Goddard would add no glory to his' record and in fact might lesson tho chances of victory with Corbett.

Consequently ho did not want to be bothered by Goddard. So Parson Informal Events on the Parkway Driving Club Course. Dr. Heard and Frank G. Creamer Carry Off tho Honors of the Day Louis Erdt Wins a Fast Raco From Van Mator Stllwell on the Boulevard A Big Programme for Saturday's Contests.

Members of tho Parkway Driving club bad thoir second informal race day yesterday at the club track on the boulevard. There were forty or fifty horsemen on hand to watch tho events nnd to help wear down the course, which is still heavy for fast work. Thero wili be scrub race this afternoon and to morrow, and on Saturday a regular programme with prizes has been arranged. Tho Saturday affair should be a red letter day for the club, with a free for all a 2:60 and a team race. Mr.

Louis Erdt has hung up a purse for $500 for the free for all, and the entries mado so far ore Dr. Heard's black horse, Frank. Frank Creamer's black horse Adam, and County Clerk John Cottier's black gelding. Tommy M. In the 2:50 alass Louis Erdt has entered Harry M.

Henry Alger his Tolmer and Mr. Cassins his Gray Eule. For the team race Mr. Rowland has entered his team Blanche and Nellie. Doctor Heard bis Dick and Frank and M.

Delomotta his White Face nnd David B. The Saturday's races will bo started promptly at 2 o'clock, and beside Mr. Erdt's purse the club will offer prizes in the two other events. There will be a number of other entries in each class before the fields are completed. Yesterday the club house was quite a lively place.

The perfect condition of the sleighinfj on the boulevard attracted the horsemen to make the journey down, and in many cases representatives of tbe fair sox accompanied the members. When the races started the windows of the women's reception room were orowded with spectators. Noted among these were Mrs. Henry T. Boody, Mrs.

John Cottier and Miss Schiman, daughter of R. B. Schlman, a prominent member of the club. President Boody and wife went down behind a handsome pair of cobs. Mr.

W. T. Allen, with A. C. Ewen as his guest, held the reins over" his clever pair, S.W.

C. and Byron, the former having won two races this season on the Parkway track. Van Mater Stillwell had his black mare, Pattl, and Mr. Erdt his Harry M. These last two wound up the day's sport with a rattling race on the boulevard, and Mr.

Erdt's gelding beat Mr. Still well's more twenty lengths in the first mile, and then holding her easily for the second mile, trotted Pattl off her feet at every brush. The result was decidedly gratifying to Mr. Erdt, who is always modest in tno estimation of his horseflesh. Mr.

Erdt has the famous campaigner, Windsor in his string and this is the only representative concerning whom he becomes enthusiastic. Two events wero decided on the track during tho afternoon, a three minute trot, best two in three, half mile heats, and a free for all same conditions. The condition of the track was tho reason for the poor time in the four heats required to decide the events. There were no prizes. In the first event Dr.

Heard held the reins over his own entry, Frank, nnd won easily in two straight heats. Mr. Creamer drove Henry Algor's bay maro Tolmer and finished second and third. Mr. Winchester landed Mr.

Cottier's Oddity in second place in the second heat, being beaten by Tolmer in tho first heat. Frank Creamer drove his own Black Prince in the freo for all, winning two straight heats. C. J. Warner's bay horso getting the place in the first heat and then withdrawing, William Burroughs chestnut mare Bessie W.

The Tin Knight Bowling club jumped to the front in tho race for tho championship Car national tournament, last night, defeating the Beinecke and Tioga teams. A largo crowd of interested spectators was present on the? Elephant olub alleys, 1,411 Fulton street, to watch tho bowling of tho tliree clubs, and tho work of the Tiogas in tho first game was interesting, as they wero depended on, more than the Heineekes, to dash tho hopes of tho eastern district men. As it was, tho Roineckes mado a bettor showing against tho Pin Knights than tho Tiogas. In tho first contest, tho Tiogas rolled up a 820 against CS2 for the Renieckes and it was expected that they would do as well in the final game. The lteniockes mado a good fight in their match game agninst tho Pin Knights but wero beaten by 64 pins.

Then the Tiogas had their try. It was noticed from tho 6tart that they wero overawed by their strong opponents and did not do themselves justice, putting up a 695 game, which was easily beaten by tho leaders with 77S. The Pin Knights have played 12 games thus far in tho tourney, winning 10 and losing 2. The Echos, who are now second, have played the same number, winning 9 and losing 3. Tho scores: HHST GAME.

Tickets can be had at tho club house." The four pugilistic stars, Billy Murphy of Australia. Johnny Griffin of Brnintreo. Kid Hogan of Brooklyn and Dolly Lyons of New York, tho former two featherweights and tho latter two bantams, who aro matched to battle before tho Coney Island Athletic club on February are now in active training at their respective headquarters.

Tho Australian, Mur pny, who only arrived here from Frisco yesterday, after being delayed several days while en routo. has gone to West Nyack, N. where Dolly Lyons had installed himself previously, and whero both will train under the mentorship of Martin Murphy. Tho Australian has comparatively little superfluous flesh to remove and is consequently not worrying about his condition. Murphy has always mado it a rule to keep his muscles free from fat and estimates that nine pounds will bo the most adipose tissuo he will have to remove.

His mind, however, must bo Improved and, instead of employing arduous methods to reduce weight, ho will pay more attention to running and other light exercises to improve bis breathing apparatus. Tho training ground that Murphy has selected is a very pretty little spot and has all the necessary accommodations. It is a timo honored rendezvous for sporting men and pugilists. Joe McAulifTo and a number of other well known fighters having heretofore used it for training purposes. A number of famous battles have also takon place In the vicinity.

Jack Farrell and Iko Wler fought for tho featherweight championship of the world in this spot some five years ago. Griffin has been undergoing preparations for tho great contest for some time past in Boston. Jimmy Carroll is superintending his training and also that of Kid Hogan's, who is removing his ilesh in tho City of Culture. They both look and fool well, so Carroll says, nnd will enter tho arena of tho Coney iBland Athletic club on February 6 the perfection of physical development. Tho contest between Murphy and Griffin gives promiso of resulting in ono of tho greatest battles that ever occurred in tho East.

Tho struggle will bo a desperate one and the victor will have about as much punishment as tho defeated man. Jimmlo Carroll recently wrote the following lcttor from the Boston training quarters to a friend in this city: I wish you would say for Johnnie Griffin nnd myself that we are now established here. Johnnie started in. work last Thursday. We have both joiued rho Y.

M. C. and, between us, do a great deal of work there. You can take my word for it it in a splondid place in which to do work. Wo have had lots of snow, but it does not prevent us from doing outside work in the forenoon, while we confine oursolvos to the gymnasium in tho afternoon.

Johnnie is feeling well and is confident of winninsr. In reply to Mr. O'Bourko's breezy letter reRard iug his colored champion I cauuot believe the Hportiug public would have anything to say about Dixon if the bantam chamnion remained in his own clas. Dixon is claiming something that does not bclontr to him. What I mean l.v thnt tl.nt.

he refuses to meet men up to the limit, which is 122 pounds. You will uotico that by tho tono of the letter from Dixon's manaser the public would be led to believe that Dixon uever met a bantamweight durinz his fighting career. He would have believe that thev were all featherweights. When he mot Nunc "Wallace he met and defeated tho bantamweight champion of England for that title. He also fought and defeated Abe Willis for the bantamtvoiirht championship of Australia at tho California Athletic club of 8an Francisco.

I should like to know who Dixon won the featherweight championship of America from to entitle him to meet any foreigner for the honor. Bill Murphy was the champion at that time and Johunto Grifiiu was ready nud williuK to meet Murphy or any other featherweight. Dixon refused to meet those men. In speaking of Billy Edwards, Barney Aaron. Sum Collyer.

Arthur Chambers and others, all I have to say is. that I do not believe anv of them would have ever allowed a match to fall through for a difference of two pounds. This applies especially to a match where the other side is willinc to give away two pounds. O'Rourke should remember, too. that in those days there were no fat purses hung up, while the loser of today sets more thun tun old timer was accustomed to receive.

I wish to inform Dixon's manager that ho will have a chance to match his man against a real champion after the cominc contest between Billy Murphy and Johnnio Griliin. Should Grifiiu win the light lie will stand ready and willing to de feud the featherweight championship against the world. Yours very truly. F. Carkoll.

The Australian lad, in conversation after his arrival yesterday, spoke sadly of hisexperienco with tho Pacific A. C. of California when he fought no contest battle with Tommy White of Chicago. Ho alleged that he was cheated out of tho fight by the officials, not gettinga cent for his trouble. He believes that he will put Griffin out in ten ro mds.

Ho was asked on his arrival to deliver tho championship belt to tho Police Uazitte office. Upon doing this the 300 forfeit thcro will bo returned to him. Jim Hall had an experience at Lakewood yesterday which he will not soon forget. Ho took a new road for his morning spin, his usual journey being around Carasalia lake. After going considerable distance ho thought ho must be on tho wrong road, so induced his trainer, Joe Kline, to cut through tho woods with him in the direction of the lake.

They had not gon far when they found themselves in tho middle of a cranberry bog with the snow up to their waists. Tho only way of getting out was to catch hold of some bushes, which were full of thorns, nnd drag themselves slowly along. Hall was in a dripping perspiration and almost exhausted when he reached his qunftcrs. A dispatch from Bangor savs Mike Daly, the Bangor pugilist, has received a flattering offer to appear at Jack McAuliffe's boxing show, which will take place on January 28, at Madison squarf garden. The New Englandor will doubtless accept tho proposition.

In this case the bout with tho light weight champion will bo one of tho best ever seen in tho garden. Daly fought a fifteen round with McAuliffo about throe years ago and since that time has been eager to meet the latter again. McAuliffo will be a fortnight at Lakowood Just before his exhibition at the garden. It is stated that Mitchell, when he arrives, will also train at tho Jersey resort. A funny stato of affairs has come about in Snn Francisco, whore Choynski has been for somo time, ns.

also, has been Jackson. Goddard arrived yesterday, with a great how do do, accompanied by Billy Madden. A Golden Gate scribe portrays the situation as follows: Goddard has come it is said with a challenge for Peter Jackson on his tongue. Thero is no Of the Brooklyn Riding and Driving Club. Interesting Additions to the Hnslcal Ride at Last Night's Entertainment Potato and Skirt Races, With Plenty Fun Attached Many Con Sow Tell How Hard It is to Get Into a Woman's Garment and Then a Side Saddle.

Important Rules. Tho arrangement of entertainment at the Riding and Driving club lost evening fell to the lot of Director F. E. Dodge and how well he fulfilled tho task those who were present best know. It was a happy thought when tho plan was formulated to delegate Wodnesday evening's programme to the Ingenuity and invention of a different director each week, for tho weekly roceptfons have not only boen extremely enjoyable ones, but have brought out many novelties in tho way of entertainment in tho arena.

The audience which assembled in tbe handsomo reception rooms of the club's home on Vanderbilt avenue last evening wus not a particularly largo one, for tho reason that there happened to be a counter attraction, or more properly speaking, three counter attractions. Luck had so ordained it that there were weddings in the homes of three of the members and necessarily the Invitations thereto detracted from tho attendance at the club. When tho orchestra struck up the opening number there were thirty four riders on tho tanbark. A musical ride, one of the usual en joyablo ones, came first. To ono who has followed the work of the members of the club, tho Individual progress made in tho saddle and in company riding Is more than apparent.

Those who wheeled their horses about the ring last night con usually be found in the saddle on Wednesday evenings, for the musical ride has a particular attraction about it. Thoy wore Alexander Barrie. Miss Burris, Colonel John N. Partridge, Mrs. Candeo, J.

Barr, Arthur Corlies and G. Wissner. The ride was under the diroction of Riding Master Mueller and consisted of tho usual evolutions in single, double and four abreast movements. At the conclusion of the ride tho special features of the evening followed, in the nature of potato and skirt races. Tho contestants in both events were W.

Candeo, Frank Van Anden, Foster Crampton and George Schwarzwaelder. In tho first tho prizo offered by the club was a handsome Bilver mounted crop and in the second a pair of gold sleeve buttons. For tho potato race tho attendants placed at one end of the arena four wooden buckets. At the other they arranged four separate piles of potatoes, tho number in each portion being six. The boys mounted their horses and began somo preliminary limbering up.

Tho task of each rider was to dismount at his allotted heap of potatoes and at the signal grab ono up, mount his horse and race to tho waiting bucket at tho other end of tho ring. There he was to dismount, deposit his burden and return for another. The rider to transfer his six potatoes first to his bucket was to be tho winner. The boys practiced dismounting and regaining their saddles until F. E.

Dodge, W. W. Walsh, nnd Thomas M. Barr, the judges, had everything in readiness. Then they got their horses in position and with outstretched hands stood ready for the word.

It was given and four hands closed over as many potatoes and four boys jumped for their saddles as though for a ride for life. But somehow it was not half so easy to get astride the Impatient horses as it had beon during the preliminary practice. Whether the weight of the potatoes had anything to do with it the boys did not say. Mr. Van Andcn was the first to get to the coveted goal.

His gray horse seemed to understand just what was required to perch victory on his rider's crest. But some of the boys could get but half of themselves in the saddle, and sometimes that half was spilled on the tan bark. They worked away manfully, but the gray horse and its rider were easy winners, and the silver mounted crop is now the property of Mr. Van Anden. Then followed a skirt race, and if anybody wants to know how hard it is for a boy to get into a side saddle with a skirt on and a flowered one at that perhaps the contestants can enlightened him.

The raco was between the same four boys. Gates wore placed in the arena to form an outside and inside track. At one end tho attendants placed upon the ground four gorgeously flowered skirts. Tho boys mounted their horses and at the word, raced about the outside tract und came up through the center. Then they dismouuted and went at the skirts.

Tho boys had all forgotten tho days when they used to wear skirts. It was hard to get Into them. Some tried crawling through the top; others who had probably taken sundry lessons on tho subject, slipped them over their heads. Mr. Van Anden again showed his adaptability to circumstances and skirts nnd was the first in the saddle.

The other boys were in tho skirts but not in the saddles, and the only way they seemed able to accomplish tho desired end was to daintily lift the skirts about their waists and mount after the fashion of tho sex which does not wear riding habits. While Mr. Van Anden was the first to accomplish tho task, tho judges decided in favor of Mr. Crompton, as the former had ridden outside the gates when the rules required that on the last turn in ho should have ridden up the center, xuat ciosea tno entertainment oi tne evening.

On next Wednesday evening two toams froan the association will play a game of foot ball on horsoback.

A Fine Article From the Pen of Joseph C. Hendrix. The apnendod article written by Josoph C. Hendrix of Brooklyn, appeared in a recent issue of the Christian Union: Of late years there is an evident disposition on the part of young men, in coming upon tho scene of action, to take moro interest in political questions, to bo moro ready to talk about them, and a willingness to identify themselves with some practical political work, where tho way to it is made plain. It is truo there is a characteristic of independence about the young men of to day.

Party lines do not hold them, perhaps, so tightly as intense issues stirred tho pulses of the country. A young man now coming of age and preparing to formulate his political convictions finds that tho questions at issue are chiefly of an economic character: that the things that politicians are discusuins, editors are writing about and political platforms aro expressing, are of a business character. He is disposed to apply business methods to their consideration. This leads him to make up his mind as to which party he will serve for the time being, without coming to a definite conclusion as to the more remote questions which divide the two parties, such as a strong government with highly centralized powers, or a government conducted according to the Democratic idea. There are.

accordingly, more young men to day whose attachment to party is slight than ever before in our history. They are full blooded and brainy, and will make erand material for the party that gets a firm hold upon them. Cleveland is attractive to young men because of his pluck and independence. Moreover, he is In touch with his time. Political parties in tho large cities have of late years increased their facilities for taking in young men.

For instance, there is an enrollment of all the roters of tho ward who apply for mem bership to the ward association. There is an election every year for officers in this association, conducted under strict rules, and within the last few years there has not been much controversy, generally, as to the fairnesB of such elections. If a young man wants to enter politics, all that it is necessary for him to do is to enroll himself in one of theso ward associations. If he amounts to anything and wants to take an active part, all he has to do is to forge ahead, and he will very soon get a rating according to his value. Many young men get into politics in this way.

They have certain ideas to express on questions that are before the ward association at the regular meetings and when they become singled out from the mass of members they naturally attract the attention of the managing men of the ward. It is usually the case that, when the ticket is made up in the fall, such young men are recognized at first, perhaps, by being placed npon some unimportant committee, and, later on. on some more influential committee, or, perhaps, become a candidate for official position in the organization. There is a regular line of progress in politics as in every other business and those who follow the business with the greatest industry and the closest attention get ahead. Of course an ambitious young man intent npon making a living out of polities encounters many obstacles.

He may overcome a number of minor hindrances and find, nevertheless, that there is one he cannot overcome without a supreme contest. This one is incarnated in what is known as the ward boss. He is usually a lusty fellow, with influential fists and he has a pretty tight grip upon all the lines of influence within his bailiwick. He must either be overthrown or accepted as a necessary factor in political work. He is perfectly willing, providing Mb power is not disturbed and the young man is disposed to act generally with him, to take him in, pnt him forward and give him opportunite to exercise his talent, if he has such as a speaker and perhaps to fit him into somo minor place if he is an office seeker.

The independent in politics in the ward association who is after an office has a very lonely time. He has got to begin the work of propaganda, supplemented by a long and toilsome fight. If he succeeds it is because he can out Herod Herod. He may be independent in his views, but if he desires to carry his views into operation practically and to do it through the ordinary machinery of ward politics; he must gear the whole machinery to the cogwheel which he himself represents, otherwise there is grinding and crushing and creakinc and something gives way. The potentialities are all against him, and the mdchine usually tosses the foreign substance ont and goes on with its native work.

But why should a young man mako office getting his goal in politics? Thore are few public offices worth the havine, and these are rarely attained by mere machine work. Tha best course for a young man who wonts the stir, the experience and the discipline of politics is, not to seek an office, but to seek a position of influence in hiB community and in his party, where he may render high public service without salary, fee or title. The path is open for educated men who are willing to become politicians through patriotism, and the machine men are cordial and helpful to such, for they feel the need of their power in great campaigns. If the side of military politics which I have pictured is unattractive to those who want to enter the ranks for promotion from ono office to another, the side of patriotic politics, where tho man is not an office seeker and cares little about a place, is apt to prove not only pleasaut and useful, but is likely to reach to some of the prizes. It is a sweet thing to live for one's country as well as to die for it.

Patriotic politics is better than practical politics, but I do not believe that thoy are inconsistent, or that one need go rainbow chasing he cause one does not pay and the other does not please. Let young men keep their ideals, keep clean, keep to tho right and forge ahead, using the tools that come to their hands, and they can render public service, if they never get an office. Then, too, perhaps, an office may come. A young man with an ambition to go to congress ohould, of course, steer clear of the contentions and jealousies of ward politics and make his case with the central authority of a political organization, on his availability, which is the question that the politican must have affirmatively answered before he can move, and upon his capacity for undertaking Buch public service. As to the literary preparation for a political life, I know of no better text book than the current "Congressional Record." A course of reading for political life may well begin with the current literature of politics, so that a man may "fit in" as he traverses the beaten path, the ideas which current events more or less illuminate corroborate.

Foreign essays and books upon American questions, written without any fear of the court of American public opinion, are extremely valuable, from "De TocqueviBe" down to the "American Commonwealth." In our own literature the lives and speeches of great men, tho eronpings of political and social history, such as have been made by Mcilaster and by Hugh Hast iUKS, are also valuable. And I think a young man should carefully read the political platforms the pronunciamentos of the great parties. These aro authoritative utterances, and he can draw his own conclusions in resney to their meaning and then test his conclusions by such discussions as he may find iu the leading magazines. Politics is a poor trade if followed as a trade. A political life is full of mirages, and thero are thousands of mon to day.

fussing and fuming in a heated march across the desert sands of political ambition, who hopo to cool their parched lips and rofresh their fevered brows in tho waters and by the shade trees which in imagination they see in the distance. They find too late that they have been deluded and when they come to take a reckoning and cast up their personal accounts and look around at the busy world with a view of landing somewhere along the channels of trado.t he places which the companions of thoir youth have attained to are not open to them, because of their lack of experience. They aro too old, and require too much money for their personal support for beginners. They can only obtain positions which do not require skill, and, after a hard timo of it. they fall back upon their public berth as their only refuse.

Nine hundred and ninety nine men out of a thousand holding political office to day will tell you, confidentially, that they would havo boen far better off if they had never meddled with office holding and had let politics alone. The moral of my tale is Don't make of polities a trade: follow it as a way of justifyine existence in a happy and free republic REBELLIOUS WOSDS IX CANADA.

On Saturday night, January 21, a very inter esting gathering of chess experts will take place at the rooms of the Brooklyn Chess club In Montague Btreet, the occasion being the club's first chess reception of the now year.

The special attraction for tho night will be a simultaneous games tourney, in which the state cnampion. jir. llodges, will he tho single player against twelve opponents, one or two of which, it is to bo hoped, will bo of tho fair sex. Among tho invited guests will bo the fair members oi me javans club and other women choss players of tho city. This occasion will inaugurate the new rulo of tho club not officially announoed as yet which opens the club parlors on reception nights to women chess players and their escorts, a most welcome innovation.

There are quite a number of women chess players in Brooklyn and they will be delighted to avail themselves of the opportunity to witness such an Interesting tourney of rapid chess playing as Mr. Hodges will give them on Saturday night. The Brooklyn Chess club was tho first club in tho country to Introduce this interesting continuous tourney, now in vogue in every prominent club in tho United States.and it is tho Urst club to introduce "ladies' nights as a special feature of its winter season. Of course, those of tho fair sex who do not play chess will not find much to Interest them, but those who aro familiar with tho game will enjoy the simultaneous games tourney. Seats will be reserved for the fair visitors who desire to watch Mr.

Hodges take his adversaries Into camp. President Gilberg, as usual, will supervis the tourney, which will bogln at 8 P. M. Tho solution to Mr. Hodees three move problem which appeared last week Is given below.

Gilberg's very handsomo collection, "Crumbs from the Choss Board." Wo consider tho two moves one of the very finest extant. It contains in a compact form all the elements that go to make up the modern chess problom without a lumbering lot of useless pieces and variations. We remember when this problom captured highest honors in the problem tourney of the Danbury JVVics many years ago, and to this day, in all tournaments, wo venture to say, there has not appearod a more polished pioco of chess work exhibited in a problem of only two moves. Our solvers will ilnd it both difllcult and delichtful." There are three ches3 elubs in Montreal, of which the Montreal is the most prominent. The others are tho Heather club, whoso members are mostly Scotchmen, and tho French Canadian club.

Tho Herald, in roferenco to chess clubs, says: "Strangors will receive a most cordial welcome at either of the above clubs when visiting tho city." The Montreal club's rooms are at 14 Phillip square, tho club nights being Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Those players from Brooklyn visiting Montreal, this winter's carnival timo should drop in.

On tho occasion of Herr Lnskor's visit to Philadelphia he mot nineteen oppononts in a simultaneous tourney, and he backed himself on a wager not to lose a singlo game in tho tourney, and tho players opposed to him wero picked players of the city.

Mr. Lnsker only won four of the nin' teeu games, but ho drew all of the remainder, aad won his wager, which was with the voteran Elson. who opposod Mr. Lasker with odds of 80 to that ho would lose at least one game. Tho veteran did not think of draws.

The Clipper, in commenting on tho proposed match between Messrs. Lasker nnd Walbrodt, says: "If Lnsker can beat sueh a sound und tenacious player as Wuibrodt. ho will deserve all tho praise that is now so generously lavished upon him by the American press." Herr Carl Waibrodt left Now York for Havana. Before leaving ho expressed his satisfaction at tho reception given him by tho metropolitan clubs ho visited. Ho did not play a singlo game while in New York.

He will bo the guest of tho Havana Chess club for six weeks, and it is his intention to spend some timo, after his return from tho Cuban capital, iu tho United States. THE TKLEPH05E E.Ut. We hardly neod Mr. Budyard Kiplinc's vivid sketch of tho life passod at the end of a tele phono by tho American millionaire in summer quarters to brine boforo us that latest outcome of too keenly competitive civilization, tho telephone ear. That particular neuro.is, which seems, in the new world at least, to bo earning a place in claBsiflcation with the lawn tennia log," had already been foreseen and described by Professor Lannois of the Lyons medical school.

For ears which are not especially sound ho considers the telephone to be quite contri indicated, as evon in acomparativelj' robust orcan its continuous use is ollowoo by symptoms more or less cravo cephalalgia, vertigo, hyperesthesia, insomnia, and sometime!" psychical disturbances of a character which micht become chronic. He comneln a sparing use of the instrument in the case of thoe whose oars are sound, and an absolute abstention from it in those whose organs aro rd ready impaired from causes hereditary or induced. His memoir, which was read and discussed in confirmatory sense at the congress of aural surgeons held in Paris in 1889, will be found in the "Comptes Rendus et Memoires," p. 263, for year. The Lancet.

Davies got him an engagement in Los Angeles, i Then Choynski, finding that ho would bo here I alone, also talked of going to Los Angeles. Goddard has not come hither unoreoarod. His manager has also attached his name to articles of agreement In Chicago for a fight with Smith. So in caso Goddord's broad challenges should be taken up and he he not satislled with the situation ho could plead the engagement with Smith and bow himsolf out of California. Jack sou wants Corbett and no ono else.

Goddard would prefer some ono elso than Jackson and Choynski prefers somo ono of less standing quality than the barrier man, and so it goes. Meantime all aro at heart well satisfied that they are not within talkling distance. BASE BALL COHMESTS. Tho New York papers have begun to sign players for the season for the Brooklyn team of 1893. Tho first premature announcement is that of Dave Foutz having boen signed.

That David will be on tho team goes without saying, but not a man of tho team has been signed yet, nor will bo until March at the soonest. A paragraph in an exchange speaks of Dan Brouthere as captain of the team, vice Ward, resigned. Dan must learn to keep himself in better condition than he did last year before he wl'l bo suitable to captain a team. The Harvard, Yale and Princeton teams now have first rate coachers in Tim Keefe, John Clarkson and Dave Foutz respectively. Clark son began at Yale February and the other two early in March.

That fine player, Harry Taylor, of tho Louisville team, Is now attending the Law school of Cornell college, and will coach and captain the lattor's base ball team, probably playing second base. He will not play with the Louisville's before July. President Tanderhorst of the Baltimore club says that the club will not be allowed by the city authorities to play ball on Sundays in Baltimore. Mr. Abell of the Brooklyn club, In talking of tho Sunday game question In the league this year, says: "I have not spoken about the matter to Mr.

Goodwin, but I have reasons to know that he is passive in tho promises. Last winter, or, rather, early In tho spring, beforo tho club decided on its Sunday policy for 1892. 1 went to Mr. Goodwin for his vote thereon. He said that for himself ho had no scruples whatever against Sunday playing, but there were several stockholders on his side of tho house who very seriously objected.

Nothing has beon definitely done about It, but tho chances are vory great that our club will play Sunday games in the West next year. On tho contrary, it is a million to ono that tho Brooklyns will play no games at home on Sunday. We'd have to fit up Sunday grounds somewhere at a big expense, pay big money to be allowed to play on Sunday, and there would not be a dollar in President Hart of tho reorganized Chicago club, in speaking of tho Sunday games question, says "As to Sunday games I have nothing to say. In tho first place it is not altogether certain that the Chicago club will play Sunday ball. I am In favor of doing so but many of the stockholders object to it and are more than likely to have their way.

However, I may get them to my way of thinking. If wo play Sundav ball wo will have to go to an expense of 20,000 In fitting now grounds, nnd I am not certain that it is worth doing that. Our present grounds cannot be used, as our lease prohibits us from holding games of any kind on tho Sabbath on them. If we go to tho exponse of fitting up new grounds wo would want the promise ol all the Eastern clubs, or at least a majority of them, that thoy would play on the Sabbath, and I am not oertain that that could be secured. Taken all in all, we are decidedly mixed on next year's plans." No Sunday game will be played by any of tho league clubs in the East, but thev will bo played In tho West.

Tho Pittsburg club has signed Denny Lyons of the New York team of 1892 as its third baseman. The question is. can ho be induced to keep straight? Why clubs will engage players whoso drinking habits are against them is a mystery, especially when temperate men are at command. Manager Schmelz in commenting on the bunt hit says: "So far as the bunt being effeminate is concerned, that illusion can be easily dispelled if any of the purties who raise that objection will stand up to the plate and try to turn down a fast, high ball. It will only take ono carom of the ball from tho bat to the face to knock all tho effeminate idea out of their heads; And as for action why, if you don't get it when a greyhound like Tom Brown steps up to the plate, bunts tho ball before anybody knows what ho is going to do, and then shows as protty a streak of running as mortal man ever looked at, where do you get it?" Tho Chicago club's president in speaking of tho alleged strike of the club's players says: "The new6 of tho combine is a surprise to mo.

but the combine really has been made. All I can say is that the men will be perfectly free to go wherever they please, and sign with any club that wants them after tho first of next month. Tho old contracts will not bo renewed. The players must submit thoir own terms." H. Chadwick.

TIT FOR TAT IX AUSTRALIA. How a. Young itlan Profited by tho JLcsboii of Church. It was a quiet meeting in the lecture hall attached to a suburban Wosleyan church. There was a big debt on tho half way house to elysimu, and the parson, an enthusiastic chap, wanted to immortalizo himself in two ways by carryine out a scheme for the redemption of tho property.

In the midst of the cogitations a little old spectacled man walked up tho floor with his belltopper in his hand. He inquired what the business was about, and had it briefly explained to him. After listening he remarked: "Well. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen.

I will Rive one pound for every pound you collect." It was a generous offer, freely accepted with a sort of unanimous expression of "Done!" But the little old man never dreamt what his proposal meant. The parson and some of his aiders and abettors went to work to bleed their friend. Such an opportunity was not to be thrown away, and subscriptions which usually went into the current accounts were diverted to this special fund. Whon tho bill was finally footed up the little old man had to shell out well on toward He did it it revolted him but he did it. Still not much harm was dono.

LABOR TROUBLES IN AUSTRALIA. Some Benefits From BSn riling an Employer in Effigy. Lano, manager of block No. 4 mine, has a certain kind of grisly humor. When the strike had been declared off some of tho men who had been sticking out for conscienco sake for oighteen weeks went along to see if Lano would give them a job.

"Good morning. Mr. Lane," said one of their number, but tho person addressed took no notice. "Good morning, Mr. Lane," was repeated with emphasis, and at length the mining manager slowly surveying tho group remarked, "I ben your pardon.

Did anybody spoak "Yes, Mr. Lane. Wo have come hero to ask if you can givo us a job." "Oh, I think there must be some mistake, my men. Mr. Lane is dead." The miners lauched as if it was all a good joke.

"But Mr. Lano thay bogan, only to be interrupted by, "I tell you Lano is dead, and you ought to know it. Didn't yon burn him in effigy some months agov" Thereupon tho faces of tho applicants for work fell, and they mnrmurod something about it all being a joke. "Oh, I don't know as to its hems a Joke. All I do know is that you Durnt Lane, and that there was an end of him.

It is uo cood asking a dead man to givo you employment, is it? It doesn't seem so to me, and I am not in tho confidonce of the corpse. Good morning."
