Shortly after Bandmann had loft the city, he Wrote to Héchster wanting him to piay “The Babbers” first and“ Hamlet” next. H&chster replied that he would only abide by the con- Wact.

Eggler, Coons, Fisher, Meyerle, Richmond, and Fouser are all'in Philadelphia, waiting for en- gagements. There is trouble in the Pacific League, andone club, tho Bay City, has withgrawn from the or- ganization. The National and Albany Clubs are all that is loft of the International Associution, the Spring- flelds having disbanded.

Frod Waterman, who played third-base in the original Red Stocking team, is now u puliceman in Cincinnati. Charley Gould, first-baseman of the team, is a clerk in the sume city. Doug All- ison, the catcher, is looking for a job. Brain- ard, the pitcher, is played out. The anxiety about the future whereabouts of George Wright has finully been disocllea by the announcement that be has signed to play in Providence next sexson. The delay in the matter was caused by the refusal of the-Club to pay Wright the salury he received last senson,— $1,800,—but his terms were finally acceded to. ‘The Cleveland Leader publishes sketches of tho players engaged by tov club of that city for next season, and very appropriately remarks of Shaffer that * he possesses the gift of gab to an unusual degree, an accomplishment that needs a tight rein sometimes to curb and keep within Proper bounds.” As before stated In these columns, the schedule mecting of the League will be held in Rochester, N. Y., next Thursday. All the news- paper talk about:a schedule baying been ar- ranged is sheer nonsense. The Comunittee hav- ing tho matter in charge consists of President Hulbert, of the Chicago Club, and Mr. Soden, of the Bostons. They will meet in Rochester next Wednesday, compare notes, and endeavor to greanee aechedule that will satisfy the entire engue. J.L., Brown Untversttr—* While pitching, it has often happened that the batter hns struck at balls which curved in und struck the butter (cither becuuse of the curve, or because the striker, in making the blow, swung himself for- ward, perhaps out of his position). In such cases should a strike be called, a dead ball, or both, or which? If called a strike, how would it be in case it was the third, and the ball went from the batter's body back to the fence? Would men on bases run ason a passed ball, or stay where they were, as on a dend ball?” Ans.—In the case you allude to the striker would be out for obstruct- ing the ball, and tho usual rules applied fn such cases be in force. He must necessarily strike at the ball before it hits him, and the instant he does soon a third strike he ceases to be a bat- ter and becomes a base-runner. comic ATHLETICS. The second annual prize exhibition at the Atheneum Gymnasium, 60 Dearborn street, was given last Wednesday evening before an audi- ence of some’ 400, many of whom were ladies. and was one of the most enjoyable events of the kind ever given {n Chicago. The program was introduced by G. Paulsen, who ran a half mile on a 240-foot track in 2:30. L. H. Prince gavea very graceful exhibition with Indian clubs. The class then competed on the horizontal bar for the amateur medal, the trophy being won by William N.-Green. Meesrs. Gallaher and Ran- dolph had 4 lively bout with the gloves, und Messrs. Breight and Schmitz gave a very neat performance on the double trapeze. ‘The class- medal for excellence on the parallel-bars was won byEdLeavell. Con Fredericks then delight- ed the audience. by his very daring feats on the singlo trapeze, ending with his drop of twenty- five feet head first, and landing on his-feet, amid great applause. Messrs. Benedict and Dalton gaye a vood exhibition of give and take with the gloves, which was very amusing. in the tumbling class the medal was won by C. F. Miller, and by John Redick in the trapeze class. The finest tumbling and leaping was by William Woods, a colored athicte, who was barred from competing from the prize as a professionnl, but who took the audience by!storm, and was pre- sented with a handsome modal by his friends of the gymnasium. Stanley Sexton then showed the crowd how to handle 0o-pound dumb-bells, also how to climb a twenty-five peg pole. The Gloss brothers and Fredericks gave a romarkable exhibition of skilland strength on their balancing ladder, which was greatly applauded. The prizes for general excellence were awarded as follows; First prize, William Green; second, Charles Mil- ler; third; Jolig’ Redick. All the prizes will be presented to fhé victors at a meeting of the ponies of the gymnasium Monday evening, WRESTLING. ‘The female wrestlers, Miss Ida Alb and Mile. Marcia, had another bout last night in Maskell’s Hall, on Desplaines street, before a rather small audience. The match, which was said to be for u stake of $250 a side, consisted of -best three in five falls, at Grasco-Roman and collar-and-elbow wrestling, and was won by Miss Alb. An exposi- tion of the Greco-Roman style opened the match, and from the outset it was plain that the adipose Miss Alb was In better trim thun her light-weight antagonist, whose shoulder-blades were brought to the carpet after a lively but-one-sided contest of four minutes’ duration. .The second test, was a collur-and- elbow, which lasted Just two and a half minutes, Miss Alb lifting her antagonist clear off her feet and throwing her heavily. The third wns a Greco-Roman contest, and was won by Mile. Marcia, who, after a tussle of two and a quarter minutes, in which Miss foreed the work, caught the latter by a neck-hold and: threw ber over her hoad handily. The entertainment closed with a trial at collar-and-clbow, which Miss Alb won with a hip-lock in one anda quarter min- utes. Mr. Muskell, the proprietor of the hall, acted as referee.

' Consideration of the Appropriation BIE in Committee of the Whole, ‘The City Council met in adjourned session last evening for the purposeof a further wrestle with the appropriation bill. Mayor Harrison occupied the chalr, and there were present Ald. Wickersham, Dixon, Sanders, Ballard, Phelps, Clark, Grannis, Turner, Me- Auley, Altpeter,’ McNally, Lawler, Purcell, Smyth, Peevey, Eiszner, McNurney, Throop, Swift, Rawleigh, Everett, Knopf, Stauber, Lorenz, Meyer, Wetterer, Meier, McCaffrey, and Barrett. ‘The Council went into Committee of the Whole, and the first business on hand was to fix the salaries of bridgetenders. At the last. meeting the salaries of ‘those on the bridges over the Main Branch and the South Branch as far south as Harrison street were agreed upon, every one getting an increase of pay. ‘This time there was @ row and an argument over every one of the bridges. ‘The Polk-street man got $1,450 net, The Twelfth-street man, the same. Eight eenth street, same. Hulsted street, same. Main street, same. On all of these the salaries proposed were $1,4@! in each case. At'this point a good deal of excitement ensued, arising from the fact that AJd. Dixon and others persistently, refused to vote, and it was intimated that they were afraid to do so. A motion that the Committee rise and fenort progress was made and lost, and Ald. Rawleigh bitterly denounced the “trimmers” tor their disinclination to go-on record, Ald. Everett hoped the press would record the names, even if the Clerk did not keepa st When Fuller street was reached, the schedule recommending $538, with 5 per cent off, half a dozen motions were made to ad- eanes the salary to $600, $700, and other igures, qi ‘Ald. Throop said he had got tired’ of this nonsense, and, unless the members of the Committee would vote like business-men, he would get up and go home, and so would a good many more, Ald. Lawler moved to increase to $600 net. Carried, On Archer avenue, Douglas avenue, Ash- land avenue, and Western avenue the rate was fixed at $600 each. For Kinzie street the schedule recom- mended $1,534. Ald. Lawler wanted it in- creased to $1,890, Ald. Eiszner suggested $1,800 net, and this prevailed. Indiana street got. $1,206 net; Erie street, $1,356 net; Chicago avenue, $1.24 uet; North Halsted, $926 net; rth Lalsted street canal), SS46 net; Division street, $346 net; ivision street {caual), $846 net; North ave- nue, $8i6 net; Clybourn avenue, 3738 net; Fullerton avenue, $60 net. On all but, the last-named the schedule recommended 5 per cent off, while on Fullerton avenue it was recommended to pay $558, less 5 per cent. Ald. McNally moved to reconsider the vote by which the Adams street salary was fixed at $1,600, Lost. DREDGING. s The next item was for general dredging throughout the river and harbor, removing obstructions, includin; repairs of docks, The schedule called for $40, _, Ald. Dixon moved to strike out the entire item and called on Mr. Waller, who explained that in his opinion it would be cheaper for the city to purchase and Sperate its own dredging machines, ‘The few owners of dredges combined and not only agreed on the price, but dictated their own terms of measurement. There was. practically no competition and they measured water as well us mud, He believed the expense of a dredge wonld be $15,000, and of running it $50 per day.- Now it costs from 30 to 60 cents per cubic vard to remove the deposit. ley, Captain; Ald, Wetterer moved to postpone the mat- ter temporarily. . Ald. Swift opposed the motion, believing that the city ought not to go into the arede- ing business. It competition did not exist, time would bring it. x Ald. Clark moved to fix the appropriation at $45,000. Ald. Throop judged, by his own experi- ence in the dredging business, that it would be 3 good one for the city to keep out of. Ald. Stauber took the opposit view. He believed, also, that it would pay the city to do its own printing. Ald. Meier agreed with his Socialistic col- league from the Fourteenth Ward, and de- elared that in two years the dredges would pay for themseives— Commissioner Waller further advocated his project for buying and operating dredges. The entire question was then postponed temporarily. z HARBORMASTERS, The next {tem was for the salary of two Harbonnasters at $859 each. Ald. Peevey wanted the salaries raised to $1,500 a year each. Commissioner Waller thought the rate pro- posed was very low. Ald. Meyer amended to make the salaries 31,200 each. Ald. Everett further amended to §1,000 each, Ald. Smyth proposed to make the. rates $1,500 each. ‘he $1,000 proposition was voted down. Ald. Throop aiended by making the sala- ries $900; same as last year. Lost. The $1,200 amendment was then carried. TUNNELS AND PARKS. The salaries of the engineers of the Wash- ington and La Sallestreet tunnels were placed at $900 each, and the total appropriations for each at $2,000 and $2,800 respectively. PUBLIC PARKS ‘came next, and appropriations were made as follows: Lake Park, $3,000; Ellis Park, $900; Union Park, $8,000; Jefferson Park, 32,000; Vernon Park, $2,000; Wicker Park, $2,000; Washington Square, $1,000, An at- tempt to appropriate $300 for Campbell Park was ignominiously voted down. Ald. Everett asked for $200 for Congress Park. He created much amusement by uam- ing the sum at $200,000, He failed to get either sun. The sum of $7,600 was voted for a steam-roller, Ald. Meier offered a motion to insert an appropriation of $20,000 for public. bathing- houses. Ald. Lawler seconded the motion, but, pending discussion, the Committee rose and reported progress. Ald. Lawler offered 2 resolution providing for the clusing of the city offices on Monday and postponing the Council meeting until Tuesday evening. The resolution was adopted. OPPOSED TO SCRIP. Ald. Clark offered the following: AS, The city churter requires that the priations for municipal purposes shull be made during the first quarter of each fiscal year, while the revenue laws of tho State render it impossible to. collect the money thus appropri- ated until the year thereafter; and, Wuereas, Under the operation of these two laws the City Government is left without funds fn hand with which to mect its current expenses and is compelled to, resort to one of the three following modes of relief: First, by borrowins money? second, by compoiling its eapluyes and other creditors to accept scrip drawn against the appropriation for the year and payable when the taxes shall be collected: third, by accumulatin; in the Treasury a fund, through the practice o: arigid economy and the annual saving in the expenditures from the sum appropriated; and, WuereEAS, We are probibited by the churter from any present increase of the city debt, and we believe the use of city scrip to_be unjust to tho ereditor and bad economy for the city; therefore ‘Resulced, That we declare it to be the duty of this Council tu cnable the city to escape trom the necessity of issuing serip by the gradual accumulation of a fund in the City Treasury for hat purpuse: and to.that end it is hereby Ordered, That all moneys now in the City Treasury that have been collected from the taxes for 18s and previous years, or that may hereafter come into the Treasury ‘from that source, together with any unexpended balances remaining from_ former appropriutions, be di3- posed of bythe Controller ns fullows: First, ree store the Sinking-Fund to tho full amount re- quired by law; second, the balnnce remaining of any appropriation forschoo! purposes to be placed. to the eredit of the Board of Education as re- guired by Inw, and a8 heretofore directed by the ‘ouncil; third, any appropriations heretofore made for Police or Fire Stations and ag yet un- expended to be’ allowed to remain in force; fourth. all the balance then remaining to be covered into the General Fund. ‘The resolution went to the Finance Com- mittee. 2 On motion of Ald.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Cuicaco, Feb, 20.—First in the hearts of his countrymen; this is the placethat Charles Stewart Parnell holds to-day, and under heaven’s expanse no prouder position can man occupy. Notwithstanding the misrep- resentations of the brutal, bellowing British Parliament, the Tory press of England, and others, the Irish people have elected him by acclamation as thelr leader, and to whatever this generous, faithful people pin their faith, they unflinchingly eling until the object of their fidelity errs. In view of the fact that Mr. Parnéll is himself an Irish landlord, and has been educated in patrician schools, his associations have all been of a nature calculated to engender aristo- eratic tastes ang conventional forms, and to deviate from the code established by Briish gilt-edged society at once incurs the penalty of lossof caste. To break from these society bonds requires no ordinury amount of fortitude and self-denial. Were Mr. Par- nell to consult his personal interests only, and steve! bis heart aguinst the feelings oi pity and the promptlines of justice that have tound a place there, he never would have stepped down and out from the aristocratic circle and the privileged class to which he be- longs. Whilé Home-Rulers, Federalists, and Nationalists wrangled, the tenant-farmer looked on in doubt and despair, He knew their puny efforts would be of no avail. ‘There was no reasonable hope that the rack- fenting: absentee landlord would relax his ron grip. Already the efforts of Mr. Parnell and the Land-League have been productive of great od. They have arraigned the British iovernment before the bar of the great tribunal of the world, and an account of their stewardship has been demanded. En- gland cannot now starve and persecute her dish prisoners of war in secret. The ma- jority of the exacting: landlords have made coucessions to their tenants. Ireland is now united as never before. Men of all creeds and of every shade of political belief have rallied under the standard of land and liberty. My Lord Beacons- field looks with dismay and alarm on the determined attitude of the frish people and the hearty welcomes and enthusiastic receptions that che American eople have given to Erin’s envoys, Messrs. arnell and Dillon; and yet the philanthro~ pists, the true patriots jwho by their sacri- icing, untiring efforts have brought this about, are branded by the British Tories, tuft-bunters, and a few Irish ecclesiastics as Communists and disturbers of the public pence, and by theilk of George Augustus ala as demagogs. Long after the shades of the calumniators of the grandson of Commo- dore Charles Stewart (Old fronsides) “ave gone beyond the Styx, and all remembrances of them have passed {nto oblivion, there are nerations of men re unborn who, while a thrill comes through their frames, will un- cover their heads in the deepest respect at the mention of the name of Charles Stewart Parnell.
