Yesterday afternoon in the supreme court the eeqnel to a family quarrel in a prominent New York household camo to the aurfaco through a writ of habeas corpua sued out by Leonora H. NeBbit, direoting her husband, William H. Nesbit, to produce two of her children iu court. Mr. Noabit, who is connected with the Totoket granifo company of Now York, resides at 340 Weat End airenue, in that city.

Tlis couple wore married on May 8, 1880, aud havo threo children, two of whom are now with the father and consequently furniBh the grounds for tho preaent proceedings. In her petition for tho custody of tho children Mra. Nesbit allegos that her husband has been guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment toward horaelf and children. Sho deposea that hor husband has threatened to poison or drown the children, and has renderod her lifo miserable by hia systematic disregard of her wishes aud his continued threats to do injury to tho little ones. Beaide this, sho Bays that Mr.

NeBbit threatened to kill hor if bIio did not mako her will in hia fayor and that ho often told her to get a diyorce, that he might get another wife. To this aeries of allegationa the huaband enters a general denial, with tho information that hia wife'a mother, Mrs. Catharine A. Baetzer, has been the whoie cauao of winterer trouble exiats. Mr.

Nesbit says that hia mother in law persisted living with hia daughter audi triod to rule the entire houaehold, himself included. Ho objected, but with little effect oyen in hia own house. Ho claims that he has never been unkind to hia wife, and, being in receipt of a good income, has always pi ovidod well for her support and comfort as well aa that of his children. His house ia a large one, finely furnished, and fr its caro three snrvanta are kopt. Mr.

Noabit alleges that hia children all lore him and that, ho has always been a kind and affectionate fatlior to them. Aa for tho allegationa of his wife, he positively denies that he over said ho would kill her if sho did not make her will in his favor, or that ho ever threatened the hvos of hia children. Ho says that on ono occasion he asked hia mother in law to leave hia house, but Bhe refused, saying she would not go without a legal notico to vacate. On another occasion he allegos that lire. Baetzer induced hia wife to go to the country with her.

They both wont Bomewhero in Connecticut, taking two of the children with them. When thoy returned, instead of going to his residence, they took up quarters In tho Barrot house, in New York, and, in a week, ran up a board bill of $75, which he had to pay. Again, upon another occasion, ho overboard his mother in law teaching one of his little boys to flay disrespectful things of him. This mado him angry and ho ordered tho woman out of his house. She wont, but took Mrs.

Noabit with hor, aud together they walked up and down beforo tho houso for two hours. The followine morning Mra. Baetzer applied to a police justice for a warrant of arrest for turning her out of tho house, but tho warrant was never isaued. At preaent Mr. NeBbit has tho children in his care and claims that they arc happy and wall carod for with him.

Hia brother, Joaiah P. Nesbit, corroboratea hia statements in an affidavit, aa does his honaekeeper, Martha Smith, and a number of others. On motion Justieo Cullen aent the matter beforo a referee for tho purpnBO of taking testi Intended for Qxcea Victoria and Mrxsi Been in a Bowery Pawnshop Charles Seale, a jeweler of 907 Broadway, New York, was arraigned before Justice Hoga in the Tombs police court yesterday, charged by Joseph W. Carroll, lithographer at 78 Dnano street, with retaining a diamond valued at 80 000. Tho diamond is known aB the Orango, magnificent yellow gem weighing 115 carats, It was found in tho South African fields in 1884 and was out in Amsterdam.

It was Bent to Lon don in a committee of Queen Victoria' admirers proposed to present it to her majesty at tho time of hor jubilee. The $80,000 to buy it waa devoted to tho erection of a hospital at tho request of tho queen. Tho diamond passed into the possession of K.S. Lawronce of Colorado, who paid $66, 900 for it. Aftor the failure of Baring Bros, the diamond was sold to Edward Bruco of the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph com pany.

Mr. Carroll got it from Mr. Bruce at Montreal, and on Juno 4 ha gave it to Charles Seale, who said he could get a cuBtomer for it. Carroll went to Seale at various times and de manded an accounting, and Friday ho demanded tho return of the stone, which was refused. Car roll then obtained a warrant for Seale's arrest, and the diamond was taken possession of by the officer making the arrest.

At the hearing yesterday William H. Shepard, Carroll's counsel, was the first witness. He testi fied that ho wont to Soalo's ofiico with Carroll and demanded tho diamond. This Sealo refused and referred him to his counsel, Mr. Beall, Carroll was put upon tha stand and questioned about a certain paper, which showed that he waB to sell the stone at the boat fignres he could for a Mrs.

Bruce and reimburse himself in proportion to tbe sum obtained. In May last Lawyer Beall, in behalf of Mrs. Bruco, called upon Carroll and asked him if he had sold tho diamond. Carroll said ho had not sold it, but that he had sent it to Chicago, where a customer had asked to see it Carroll's counsol objected to the line of ques tions, but Justice Hogan overruled him. Lawyer Beall thon brought out the fact that from May 7 to June 3 the diamond had boon in plodge for $3,500 at Simpson's pawnshop on Park row.

Carroll admitted that hia brother had pawned the stone and he had said it was in Chicago to conceal the fact. Mr. Carroll said he was to ob tain $6,000 on the sale of the stone, no matter what it would bring. He said ho had paid $4,000 to Mr. Bruco at Montreal.

This included duties on tha gem. The hearing waB postponed until 0:30 Monday morning. WANTED TO ARREST JUDGE KELLY. Litigation About a New York Storage Company, Maurice J. Power? John J.

Mooro and ex Jndgo William H. Kelly secured possession of tha en tiro capital Ktook of the Knickerbocker storage company of New York in April, 1888. In June of tho same yoar Mr. Power sold hia one third interest to ox Judge Kelly, which transaction left Kelly in possession of two thirds of the stock and Moore in possession of the remaining one third. Subsequently Moore sold three horses, throe vans and three seta of harness to James Savage, and gave him a bill of sale for the same.

Savage claims that Kelly or his agent, brake into hia stable at 427 East Broadway, New York, and wrongfully removed the property which he had purchased from Moore. It is al legod that he, Savage, threatened to have Kelly arrested, but the latter got his promiso not to take action for a day or two and moanwhilo Kelly obtainod a temporary injunction from the supreme court, enjoining Savage or Moore from taking any action againBt him until the courts should decide whether he, Kelly, was entitled to two thirds of the stock of the company. Judge Andrews, bofore whom tho injunction motion was argued yesterday, reserved his decision upon ts permanency pending tno result of tho suit. CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

Adr The E. The E. W. Bliss company of 17 Adam3 Btreet advertised yesterday for the return of the striking employes of their iron works. Tho demand for fifty three hours' work a week began thero two months ago and on May 4 some four hundred employes belonging to the American federation of labor went out of tbo shops.

Sinco then Mr. Bliss has secured about two hundred new men and the works have been running as well as they could witli that force, A reporter visited the workB yesterday afternoon to learn tho meaning of the now advertisement. It was just af tar tho attack upon ono of tho new employes, and Mr. Bliss was very indignant that no police wero around to prevent such an outrage. "They knew of the strike," Mr.

Bliss said, "and know that there waa liable to bo trouble at any timo. Now, why waa thero no man within call The street was as bare aa you aeo it now," pointing through Adams and Plymouth streets, where thero was not a blue coat in sight. "But about tho situation at tho works?" the re porter asked. 'Thia morning," Mr. Blisa said, "a committee representing tho old hands camo to Geo me with a note asking for a meeting.

One of them was a man named Patrick, who had worked here and whom I knew. I told him I had nothing to arbi trate or hold a meeting about, but I should be glad to see Just aa many of tho old mon back aa wanted to come. Patrick probably misunderstood me, for ho went back and told tho strikers that I didn't want any of tho oid men. That made them wild and they voted to continue tho strike." "How do you. know, Patrick told thorn that the reporter askod.

"BecauBe some of the strikers came down after their tools and said that was what Patrick said. Aa soon aa I heard it I made haste to advertiso for the old mon. I wish you would aay that there are 200 places hero to which the old men would bo welcomed if they wish to corns." "I suppose you only expect them back at the old fifty nine hours a week," the reporter said. 'Certainly, on those terms, but I think most of tho men would like to come back iu that way." The misunderstanding about the return of tho mon was just beforo the attack on one of tho new hands, and it is quite likely that one had a good deal to do with tho other. BURIED IN TRINITY CHURCHYARD.

Mrs, Wadtlcll I'lacud in One oi tho Oldest Vanllsi Tho funeral of Mrs. Coventry Waddell, tho onco reigning bello of New York city, was attended by seventy five relatives and friends at old Trinity Church yeaterday afternoon at 3 :3 0 o'clock. Tho pall bearers, all relatives, were William C. South wick, Horton Southwick, Edward D. Southwick Philip Smith, George W.

Smith and Lloyd D. Waddell. Thero wero pre8ent at tho church Dra. Peet, Scott and Storm Whito, Mrs. Boldow, Mias LouiBO Farnham, Mrs.

William C. Bronx, Dr. Joseph Kucker and Dr. R. Ogdeu Doremus.

After the brief bin impressive aorvico of tho Episcopal chnrch, the casket, smothered beneath banks of flowers and a hugo Bheaf of wheat, was borno to the old Waddell aepulchre on tho Rector Btreet aide of Trinity church yard. Tho Waddell is one of the old time vaults, tho only entrauco to which ia gainod by removing about five feot of earth and several granite Blabs. A weather beaten slab bears this inscription: "Hero liea in terred tho body of John Wacldol'l, who departed this lifo May 20, 1763, aged 47 years 7 months and 15 days." In tho deep subterranean chamber nine coffins lay along one side. Some of these, which wero placed there abom ono hundred and fifty years ago, had crumbled to pieces, their places being marked only by a growsome heap of bouea and bita of woou. The other boxes still retained their shape, but Boomed ready to drop to pieces on being disturbed.

Tho interment was attonded with some difficulty owing to tho narrow to the aopulchcr. Tho large zinc lined coffin box was first lotvered to tho bottom and the coffin put in place afterward. It was necessary to turn the coffin endwise bo cramped was tho aperture, and it required tho combined strength of bix strong men to lower it safely. Mrs. Waddell being the last of the older generation, hers will be tho last body consigned here.

Tho ontranco to tho vault will be sealed nevermore to bo disturbed. RAN WHEN THE POLICE APPEARED. Xtarcc Alleged Horse Thieves Captured in Lon; Inland City. The Long Island City police accomplished good work yesterday in running down threo alicged horse thieves, who are now locked up in tho Hunter's Point station house.

On the same night Philip Bowes' horso was stolon, and a sot of harness taken from tho houso of Michael Shaugh nesey.

At the station house they gave their names as Peter Coleman, John Smith and Philip ltoilly, all residents of Suunyside. Coleman is tho official poundmaster of Long Island City and, like his companions, has beon in trouble before. When locked up tho three made a confesaion of having stolen the alderman's rig for a lark, but denied all knowledge of tho othor missing property. Tho police say that thoy havo evidence iu their possession to show that the three men mado a fruitless attempt to soil the rig at Oyster Bay. EL1SHA B.

The Major's Appointment in the New United States Court. A Surprise for the Local Politicians The Se lection Jlnne on Business Grounds JInjor Tate's Record in War and Peace Shields, Also of Brooklyn, Appointed Clerk. political circle.a wero stirred last night by the announcement that Major Augustus C. late had been appointed marshal for the new intermediate United States appollato court. Al though Major Tato has long boen an active Re publican the news of Ins selection waa a aurpriao to the politicians.

They were, indeed, unaware that the oibco had been created until thoy learned that it waa filled. Major Tate was officially notified several days ago that ho had been designated, but desirodth.it no publicity bo given to the matter until tho organization of the court on lucaday next. That the facts had leaked out as tonished him as much as anybody. j.110 court oi wnicn ato ia to servo aa marshal la organized undor the Evarts' act, passed a the recent session of congress. It ia intended to assist, the United States supremo eatirt iu the disposition of caaea.

In this rospoct its functions are substantially similar to thoso of the second division of the court of appeals in the Btate ot JNow lork. The juricta empowered to act tno new federal tribunal aro Judges Wallace, Blatchford andLacombe. They were unan imatiB iu their 'approval of Major Tate's candi dacy. Major Tato also had tho cordial support of Secrotary of the Navy Tracy and Genoral Stewart L. Woodford.

Among hia many friends in this city his selection gavo genoral satisfac tion. Ho was tho recipient laat night of many congratulations. Major Tato has far many years been a promt nenttiguro in political. and public lifo. At the outbreak of tho war ho resided iu New York city.

On April 10, lSOl.ho enlisted in tho Twelfth regiment, Now York stato militia, then com manded by Colonel Daniel Butterfield. Ho served iu this command three months, acting aH color sorgoant during the short campaign, On the return of the regiment to Now York ha ba came captain of tho Ono Hundred and Thirty first regiment, New York state Tho regiment waa aasigned to Molineaux'a brigade, urover'a Qivision, Nineteenth army corps. It waa sent to tbo Southwest and saw hard aorvico in the campaigns along tho Mississippi. With his men Captain Tato participated iu tho capture of Port Hudson and in several other battles under Banks. Later tho Ono Hundred and Thirty first waa transferred to tho Army of the I'ototnac and detailed to assist Sheridan jn the Shenandoah valley.

It waa present at Winchester, Fisher's hill and Cedar creek when Sheridan camo riding into tho fight irom mnchoster, twenty miles away." After the war Comrade Tate, who, early in tho conflict, for gallantry on tho field, had been promoted the rank of major, took up hia residence in Brooklyn and has reBidod hero ever since. He was appointed an inspector the New York cua tom house under the collectorahip af General Choster A. Arthur, and acted as aid to A. B. Cornell, Biirvoyor of the port.

Ho continued as inspector until 1883, when President Arthur appointed him United States marshal for tbe Eastern district of New York to succeed S. R. Harlow. Major Tate held the office until 1887. His successor, appointed by President Cleveland, was Charles M.

Stafford. Aa an aggressive Republican Major Tato always identified himself with tho stalwart wing of tho party. He aerved aa a delegate to tho national soldiers' and sailors' convention at Pittsburg in 1872, hold to indorse tho nominations of Grant and Wilson. At every Republican atato and national convention for tho past twenty five years ho was a familiar figure. In 1884 ho earnestly advocated tho nomination of General Arthur for tiio presidency.

Upon the defeat of General Arthur ho loyally supported Mr. Blaine. Major Tato formerly resided iu tho Eleventh ward, where ho served as president of the Republican association, in tho U. S. Grant club and as tho leader of tho Republicar.

party in tho Fourth assembly district. In 1885 ho removed to tho Twenty third ward and ia now a member of the Republican aBaocia tion of that subdivision. Ho is also a member of U. S. Grant post, No.

327 G. A. of the Union league club and of other conspicuous organizations. The placo for which he haa been selected is practically a lifo position. Justicea Wallace.

Blatchford and Lacombo alsa appointed John Shields clerk of tho new court. Mr. Shields has long been olerk of tho circuit court and a United States commisaioner. Hia homo is on Schermei'horn street, this city. Ho haa never been active in politics.

At Republican headquarters last evening thorn waa a rumor that Colonel James C. Sleight of the First ward had been appointed a special agent in the New York emigration bureau. The colonel is a unique figure in local politics. He served as a jury notice aorvor when Clark D. Rhinehart was sheriff and announced that although he waa a First ward man he waa against Franklin Woodruff for chairman of tho general committee.

The colonel ia a member of the committee, but whon tho time to declare himself came ho went with tho rest of the Firat ward people for Woodruff. There were but few visitors of conaeouence at headquarters laat evening, and the few who wero thore talked in a disjointed way aboutcandidates for the local nominations this fall. Ziegler'a boom for mayor was discusaod and generally commended. ITALY A XI) THE IVo Oblitratioiis ns to Armaments Vtsa posed by the Compact. Rome, Juno 1 3.

In tho aonato to tlay Premier li Rtidini de clared that tho dreibund imposed no obligations on the countriea forming the triple alliance in regard to the matter of armaments. No Italian ministry, he said, would bind the country in any way to a special military policy. The dreibund had no aggressive object. The pacific nature of tbo alliance had beon proved by the ten yeara of its existence. Disarmament and isolation would bring Italy to ruin, like Venice "It were hotter." continued the premier, "to perish with arms in our hands than to die of amomia."

From that time on the chances of the various candidates are discussed with avidity whenever tho subject of horses comes up, and now that the Brooklyn handicap of 1801 is a thing of the past, the Hub' urban becomes tho one topic amoag horsemen and visitors at the track. Bets were laid as soon as the wary bookmakers opened their books, in what is oallcd anto post betting, and tho newspapers have been eagerly watched ever since for any news concerning tho conditions of the candt dates. It may be not out of placo to state here, in view of recent ooenrroncos, that some of thoso reports are not always reliable, seme of them be ing started by shrewd and tricky horse owners in order to get the beat of tho Visitors will find the course and its surroundings vastly improved, both iu picturesque and architectural beauty. Tho grand stand has been thor oughly renovated and overhauled.

A now sec. tion has been added and the general appearance of the Id structure heightened and so changed that it is practically new. The seating capacity will bo much lareor than in other years. The betting ring, too, has been given much more space, and there will be ampie room fr the oc cupanoy of at least ono hundrod bookmakers, The truck liaB undergone the thorough care of Superintendent Clark, who promises to have that most important branch of tho enterprise in good order, providing, of course, that no heavy rain falls in the meantime. The Coney Island jockey club'a track is, if possible, more popular than the othor tracks in this vicinity.

It was started by the lato Lawrence Jerome, who gave the place all his attention and tores for yoarB, and by hard labor, and with the assistance of several other prominent turfmen, managed to once more put tho sport on its present high piano after it had receded somewhat in tho affoction of tho public. Some time beforo his death, he became awaro that tho old facilities were not what they should be they had outgrown their usefulness, and bo determined upon making tho track tho nnost in the country. Work was begun as Hoon as the fall meeting closed last year, and ever since then men have been busily engaged in completing the undertaking that will remain a monument to the memory of one of tho turf's best patronB, Mr. Jeromo. The jockey club guarantees the value of the stake this year to be to the winner, of which ihe second horso will recoivo and the third $1,500 of money.

The conditions are these: A handicap sweepstakes of $100, half forfeit, and only $25 if declared by February 20, the association to add the amount necessary to make the value of the race $15,000, the second to receive $3,500 and the third 31,500 of the money so added; weights to be announced July 1 winners, alter publication of weights, of a race of $1,000, four pounds extra; of two of $1,000 or one of $2,000, 8 pounds extra; of three of $1,000 or two of $2,000 or une of $5,000, twelve pounds extra. In the case of horses handicapped at 115 pounds or ovr, thoso penaltios shall apply to tbo extent of one half, and in the case of those handicapped at 122 ponds or over, to the oxtent of one quarter only, and in tho case of those handicapped at 126 pounds or over, they shall not apply at all. Distance, ono mile and a quarter. Closed with sevouty ono entries, of which twelve declared our. The field of starters will not bo as large as tho one that made the contest for the Brooklyn handicap so memorable, hut a brilliant struggle may nevertheless be confidently looked for.

The entries wore very large, but owing to declaration, lack of condition and ill health, the starters will be less than fifteen, which ordinarily is a big ono.

a Her Champions Beaten in a Big Polo Game. The Meadow Brook Cracks Show Their Sea sido Brethren How to Ride Ponies and Chase the Elusive Ball Tho Fight at Westbury Yesterday. The club house and grounds of the Meadow brook elub, at Westbury, wore a blaze of fashion yesterday af ternoan. Handsome women and well dressed mon, with a pronounced English accent, orjuBtnear enough to it to bo supposed by tho uninitiated the result of birth on the other side of tho big pond, instead of the othor side of Wa Btaff'B big bridge, wero thero in hundreds, and the hot Jnne sun shouo down on a panorama of kaleidoscopic costumes and hats of ravishing shape and variegated colors. What was the cause of all tnis turn out of fashion? Why, tho polo gamo between the first team of the Bockaway club, the present champions, and the crack Meadowbrook club which intended to wrest the championship emblem from the Rocka way boys if grim determination, grit and skillful play wore to count.

The gamo yestorcay was the final match for the Hompstead handioap cnpB. There has beon a strong rivaly between the two crack toams and eaoh has many admirers. They turned outiu force, too, and from the country seats in tho neighborhood and from the villages and towns round about they nockod iu. Among thoao who were present from the noighborhood were Mr. and lira, Charloa Carroll, Mr.

and Mra, Oliver W. Bird, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Terry.

Mr. and Mrs. Sidnoy D. Ripley, Mr. and Mrs Charles F.

From Rackaway, about 3:30 P. came Mr. and Mra. E. Clarke on a four iu hand, with a party of five, and from that time up to the commence mont oi tno gamo tho visitors came along buggies, traps, wagons, on horseback, and even on foot.

Of thoae who wore to contend on tho field the early arrivals wore Messrs. O. W. Bird, Thouns Hitchcock, and R. D.

Winthrop of the Meadowbrook team. Sunburned and rugged they looked, and wero confident that they would win, although they acicnoivledged that their ad versaries were strong and it would likely be a tough Sight for supremacy. The toams and the handicaps of the men were as follows: Rockaway Foxhall Keene, 10; John E. Cow din, 8: W. Rutherford, 6, and J.

D. Cheever, 4 total, 28. Moadowbrook Thomas Hitchcock, August Belmont, 0. W. Bird, D.

Win throp. 5: total, 24. In yoatorday's match tho Rockaway club gave the Meadowbrook four goals. About 3:30 tho visitorB began arriving at tho ground. The field ia an oblong one, north of tho club houso and is 890X5S0 foot, surrounded by whito painted borders of plank a foot in height.

Among thoso who made their apoearanco were Mr. Smith Hadden, in a four in hand, with a party of young mon and women: Miss May Bird and a party of friends, in a four in hand; othor four in hands were driven by Charlos Carroll of Hempstead, H. V. R. Konuody of Hempstead and Benuo La Montague.

A good deal of time waB lost in preparations, and it was not until 4:55 that the game was called. The umpires choaen were, for tho Rockaway team. A C. Tower; for tbe Meadowbrooks, Percy Hoyt. The roferoe waa Mr.

H. L. Herbert of tho American polo association. From tho beginning of tho game to tho end it provoa to bo one of the most exciting and evenly played games that had ever beon seon on Long Island. By tho handicap tho Meadowbrooks received four goalB from their antagonists, and it was a big lead for tho knights of Rockaway to overcome.

They realized tho load they had to carry and Btarted In for business, but the chevaliers of Meadowbrook had gore in their eyes, and the fair women on the four iu hands cheered them on. At it they wont and thoy careered and galloped and smashed the little whito painted wooden ball, and sent it flying hither and thither and up in the air, and the polo mallets whizzed and tho mustang ponies Bnorted; the spectators cheered and the girls Bcrearaed with excitement whenever their particular favorites made a good stroke. The ball waB sent whizzing down the field, ohaaed by eight men on bloodod porjicB quivering with excitement. For twenty minutes they surged to and fro, and in that time neither side scored a goal, but each made a quarter goal by penalty hits, and time was called, with honors even. During this inning Mr.

J. E. Cowdin distin guished himself by some good play. Ha fell from his horse and, bo quickly was he up, mounted again and off, with mallet swinging aloft, that it seemed to have been a part of tho programme. Only forty minutes more of play for the cham pions to pull down that handicap of four goala, which their plucky opponenta still kept as a lead, but they wont in to do or die, and in just eight minutes Mr.

Cowdin scored a goal for the Rockaway knights by fine play. An interval of two mmutea for breathing and changing horsos, and tbo referoo threw out tho all among them, and again the air resounded with cheers from the men, screams from the iris, at the good plays made, while tho ponies tore up and down and acroas the field, mingled togethor in a mass occaaionally, and in a moment ftorward strung out in a line, with necks stretched, in a tremendous pace down tho fiold. aix minutos Thomas Hitchcock acorod a goal for the Meadowbrook chovaliers. Two minutes for rest, and again the opposing teams went for tho wooden sphere, and in three and one half minutes the Meadowbrooks again scored a goal by the line play of August Belmont. Time was called, and ten minutes waB allowed for rest.

Tho third inning waa commenced at 6 o'clock, and by a piece of good luck, backed up by excel lent play, W. Bird scored a goal in just thirty seconds for the Meadowbrook toam. It was beginning to look serious for the cham pions from tho wave washed shores of Rockaway nd the Meadowbrook riders and their friends wore satisfied smiles. 'I'll 'ave a fiver with you at three to one, Jimmy," said an enthusiastic groom of the Meadowbrook Btable to a brother artist who held Rockaway pony by the bridle. "I'm blowod if you do, Johnny," said the other.

'Do you take me for a bloomin chump? Make it ten to ono and I'll go ye eh?" Well, I'm blowod; you ain't got no Tnerve, have you? Maybe you'd like mo to in the old woman and the kids too, wouldn't "Well, hi haint a 'ankerin' much that wav just now" and any further offers of wagers wero cut hort br the dah of the ponies for the wooden ball just thrown out in the field by tho referee. Tho third inning, which waa to decide the fato of tho champions, was drawing to a close. Splendid plays wre made by Hitchcock and Winthrop of the Meadowbrooks and by Cowdin and Belmont of the Rockaways, the former particularly dis tinguishing himself by some skillful back strokes, and after nine and a half minutes Cow in scored a goal for the soasido heroes of Rook away. In this inning Choever ot the Rockaway team was thrown from his horse, the two rolled over, jumped up, and ho was in the saddle and off like a shot after the racers as thoigh it was an episode of not the slightest account. And it waa right here that the girla got in their encouragement.

Jim," screamed one aR Cowdin made a good play, and she clapped her hands and jumped P. Bravo, Angy," and another handsome girl with choeks aflame and bright eyes repeated the cream. Auoy" was intended for Belmont. Then thore waa a general scream aa the crowd cheered the fast and furious play. But the champions' anner was doomed to fly from a flagatall in tha middle of the ialand inatead of in tha vicinity of the cool breezes of Rockaway, and tho good plays mado by tho Rockaway toam wero mot by brilliant exhibitions on the part of tho Meadowbrook boys.

At the last goal of the game was made by Bird of the Meadowbrooks and the bBt played game of polo on Long Island waB over. Tho handsomo trophy the Hemrj tead handicap cup and tbe championship of Long Island went to tho Meadowbrook polo club of Westbury. The soore at tho finish stood 8H goals for the Meadowbrooks to 4M for tho Rockaway team literally a tie, for the Rockaways lost only by the handicap of four goals givou by them to thi Meadowbrook team. Tha spectators wjre well repaid for patiently sitting about in the sun, and ten ininuteB after tho close of the game clouds of dust wore flying from all tho roads leading to the surrounding ctuntrj.
