An Editor Wins at Quoits. (Columbus (0O.) State Journal.) There is no game quite so interest- ing and wholesome as pitching horse- shoes. Some call them quoits, or but we prefer horseshoes, for s so farmlike and pastoral that it gives a sort of purity and inno- cence to the noble game. It is a nobler game than baseball, football, golf or tennis. It requires strength, nerve, skill, patience and a good eve, and it abounds with cris that made the jubilance exhilarating and exalting, far nobler than the physi- cal effects of a three-base hit in base- ball. One of these crises is the ring- er, an event that creates infinite won- der and applause. ~ ‘We made one at the Grand Army picnic. The boys gathered down on the field, near a shady slope, while the women clustered about the bhenches where the feast was, talking tatting and currant jelly. The score was 9 to 9 on a ten-point game, Capt. Cope, our adversary, had just plant- ed a shoe close to the peg, and every- | body said “that settled it.” Just | then we sent a gleaming horseshoe through the blue air, and it sang a song of triumph as it flew for it ringed the peg as beautifully as a bumble bee ‘perches on a clover blos- som. There was a shout of applause which we took in with becoming modesty and then wandered over to the ladies to tell them what the shouting was about. Pitching quoits was one of the | popular games of primitive mankind. It embodied all the gentle excite- ments of true sport, could be played without expense or a ten-acre field; and when it was all over, it left the combatants with serene and content- | ed minds, Boston Is in Luck. (Boston Post.) Although the demand been extra large during the past few weeks | the heavy fares that have been dumped upon the new fish pier in South Boston have exceeded the de- | mand by tons. Halibut, Salmon, mackerel, butterfish and ground-fish ure among the kinds that can almost be bought for a ‘song.” Retail buyers can now go into any fish market, ask for mackerel, for ex- ample tinkers, and purchase six large fish for twenty-five cents, a price the lowest that Bostonians have known in | the local fish industry since it was originated. Fish has piled has s0o high in Boston that hundreds of barrels have been scld and shipped to Kuropean countries, a new industry for Boston fish dealers. The only exception to the fish low price has been swordfish, which have been hauled into the pier in small rumbers. However, the price of the fish is not exceedingly high, being quoted at seventeen to twenty cents a pound. On the other hand, the dealers at the hew fish pier are giving away butterfish as the quantity is the largest ever seen on the pier. “lat fish” is the slogan that is coming from all sides to reduce the high cost of living and the fish dealers say that the prices will re- RICHTER & CO.
