Westorn League Standing. The following figures show the record of the games won and lost of the Western league up to and including yesterday’s games: Yesterday's Onme. Hastings’' band of sluzzers opened their farewell championship series at the park yes- terday afternoon before an attendance of probably four hundred people. The local team played a beautitul game at the bat, in the field and on the bases. Dwyer, Bader. Bandle and Genins did the D8t work in this respect. Nota single one of the visitors managed to make a pilfer of & base. One of the features of the wame was Messitt's second base play, Walsh and Fus selbach did fine work, while Bader and Gen- ins work was as usual, good. Tne Hasting's team ssemed disheartene d from the first. The play on the pattcf the local team was exce)lent as the many round gflhars will show.

The Randallites and the Nondescripts tried conclusions for the first time vester~ day, and the result showed that the latter were well worthy of their name. Plcnics aud vacation time having deprived them of their best players, they were constrained to re- cruit from the same source that the gentle- man (about to contract a matrimonial alll- ance) in the parable did. The bowling on this occasion (owing to the vile condition of the grounds) beat the batting, hence the small scores. For the winning side the bat- ting of Mr. Mnir is especially worthy of mentlon, His innings of twelve was the re- sult of careful and correct cricke hough he gave a couvle of chances that were not accepted. The fielding on both sides was above the average, and were it not for an un- due proportion of extras, the game would not have bern so one sided as it was. ‘This fact does not by any means detirct from the credit due to J.

Itis pretty late in the season to begin a series of summer night concerts, but better late than never was the motto of an enter- prising musician who assured the m:ayor of his honorable intentions, and jumping into the vast Madison Square garden he determined to snatch as many belated pennies as possible before snow flies. It is already pretty chilly of an evening :n a big barn like the Madison Square gar- den, but the managers of the concert en- terprise do everything to persuade peo- ple that it is blistering hot. At various places in the building are immense blow pipes that send in strong blasts of air These pipes are romantically named after famous watering places, as “Sara- toga Breeze,” ‘‘Long Branch Breeze,” and so on. They are on a level with the floor but inclined upwards,so that whena a man passes his hatit is likely to take a sudden excursion from his head, and the woman who passes has to clutch con- vulsively at her skirts to prevent morti- fying disclosures. These land and sea breezes bave been passed over ice before being discharged into the building. The result is a draughty, chilly atmosp here, which makes overcoats and wraps a necessity. But New Yorkers have been so sadly at a loss for light entertainment this season that the place is splendidly patronized. It is intended to cater to the nice neoglu, and the programmes are selented with a_ view to pleasing culti- vated tastes. Furthermore, they have a placard at the door that denies admission to ladies who come without escort. That is supposed to be a guarantee that only nice people will be found at the tables. And certain it is that 1f people who are not nice go there, no one 18 the wiser. I went to hear A “'WAGNER NIGHT" CONCERT, and saw, of course, the usual crowd of enthusiasts, There are more cranky looking people to be seen at a Wagner concert than at almost any other kind of a gathering. For instance: A short old lady with white hair worn with a pro- nounced bang and a big coil; she is dressed in firny without excess ot trim- mings; on her head jauntily perched a cardinal red hat with a big feather in it; she walked with the sprightly step of a country school girl'to & frout table and shook hands with a long-haired old man there; he promptly rose, waving a cigar gallantly in his hand, and went with her to the table she had pre-empted for the occasion. At it sat her daughter, about twenty-tive ryears “old, dressed exactly like her mother, in plain gray and aglar- ing red hat. The effect was to make the daughter look like an old woman. They listened solemnly to thie Wagner music and chatted ineessantly through a Strauss waltz. Not ‘far away was a pretty young woman richly dressed sip~ ping a claret punch with a sensible look- ing young man. Ireeognized in her a French actress whom ITastsaw at the French ball in the winter costumed in suggestive tights and brief skirts. ‘The manners of people at places of amusement are always interesting 1f not instructive, It is impossible not to see them unless you keep your eyes closed. Almost in front of me last night at an opening performance in a theatre sat a gorgeously young lady of the Hebrew type. Her escort had left her as soon as she had taken her seat, saying that if he should be unable to return she would be able to find her way home without dif- ficulty, but that she should probably ap- pear again. She smiled assent cnnR- dently, and settied 1nto a study of the curtain. It was hot and close and small boy who made himself conspicuous with an armful of fans did a thriving business. The young lady looked at them long- ingly, and after several moments of hes- itation beckoned the boy to her. He held out a fan which she was about to take, but as he did not see the necessary dime forthcoming, kept his grip on the fan saying,-*‘ten cents, please.” She bit her lips and did her best to look as if she had simply called the boy to get her a programme, a request which she made plain when the boy failed to understand her. He DISAPPEARED UP THE AISLE, and she furtively sought her purse. It contained exactly the reawred dime. The atmosphere was hot and oppressive, but what if her escort should not return. How could she pay her fare on the ele- vated? She pinched that dime pretty hard while the boy was gone, and was yet undecided when he came back with the programme. Then the impulse of the discomfort overcame her caution, and she bought the fan. For two min- utes her audacity and the risk she was taking make her cheek burn more than the heat did. Aund all through the first act and the intermission she was ner- vous, but she had her fan which must proved a great consolation if the vigor with which she wielded it sign any- thing. And at last her escort did return, and the expression of relief that came over her face as the fan relapsed into a steady genteel wave was beautiful to look upon. 1t would seem to any one visiting Long Brrnch thus son that all the OVERDRESSED IGNORAMU in the land were holding a congr Two girls were sitting on a voranda at Elberon with a matron the other morn- ing. 'They attracted much attention by their magnificent costumes, The woman had a hand-painted satin wrapper,and an artistic gentleman sauntered up for a nearer view of the wonderful vine of wisteria that climbed her robust person from ground to thrdat. , She was reading the morning newspaper and comment- ing thereon, This was what he heard: “The florist ‘begs,to_snnounce that his gladiolus exhibition will begin next Mon- day.’ D'l bet a dollar my husband won’t miss that, He’'ll seé Sillivan every time he gives one of his matehes.” She read again: *“Although too old and heavy for the character, Booth will make ‘Hamlet’ his piece de resistance the coming season,” Y yea T seen him in that piece last and one of the girls, “Which piece?” asked the other. “The piece of resistance,” good- naturedly expiains the matron; ‘I mean ‘Hawlet. " “Well, it's the same piece. is the best of Schiller’s plays.” “Schiller'sy Why, it ain't spelled that way here,” protested the reader, “T don't mean Schiller,”” but Gocthe,™ corrected the girl, snd her fricnd said: “Of course, Goethe. 1saw Booth play it myselt often and often. It was written on purpose for him, but he's getting tired letting other folks play it, just Rankin _lets that other play ites,’ and Neil Bu lets that man play ‘Widow Bedott.” ‘The earrings in their int would have paid a ye 4 theatre, and the hand-pal 1 - satin morning dress had eost as mueh as poor ‘Hamlet lectual head Shukespeare ever made out of his -plays. L " at the gorgeo The listener got up and walked away, just as some one said: *“To him that hath shall be given—'' Not always,”” he remarked, looking ¢! ignoramuses, The spectacle of a dudishly dressed gentleman holding with gingerly touch A LADY'S BUSTLE and shoes attracted the attention of a srent crowd at Long Branch the other ay. It was the customary throng of bathers in front of a hotel augmented by many besides who knew that they were to be repaid by a sight—always too funny for anything—of a gentleman handling a lady's avparel. 1don't think there is an nrllcl_e worn by man that any woman, married or single, cannot carry, or fold, or pack up with as much dignity and grace as she can the belongings of her- self; but with a man 1t is dif- ferent. No matter how cool and seif-possessed he may be at other times, and no matter how cultivated and charm- ing are his usual manners, give him a lady’s bustle, or even her hat, to hold, or to fold, or to'do anything under the sun with, and instantly he becomes a pitiful object of clumsiness and constraint, with his fingers all thumbs and his wits all ngtrlny. Funny, 1sn’t it, but not to be de- nied. So it was on this morning with this man and this bustle. It was poked out to him from the unglazed aperture in the top of a bath house door, at the end of a plump and pink arm, the unclad condi- tion of which was excuse enough for the lady's non-appearance in person on the scene. He held the innocent construction of tape and wire precisely as he would have held a live crab, far from him and with the tips of his fingers. He probabl, knew as well as any woman could tell him that bustles never hurt anybody, except their wearers, but he was A man, and it was part of a lady’s dress, and that was sufficient. The occasion was the settlement of a wager that was all the talk among a certain rather unconventional set assembled as boarders together at a certain cottage— theatrical folks and idlers—all proper enough, but bent on having fun. An actor among them had ended a weck of hot discussion as to which sex wore the heavier clothes by betting with another man in the party that men carry less weight in garments in hot weather than woman. It had been decided that a cer- tain young woman of operatic hopes, but only concert realization hould sub- mit to having her clothes weighed in the same scales with those of the actor who made the wager. No particular time for the solution of the problem was agreed upon, but the young singer ures me that, 80 as not to be taken off her guard, and 8o as to win a victory for her sex, she never afterward put on anything that 'was not of the lightest weight among all her belongings. She ran a tremendous risk of pneumonia—but what true woman would care a fig for a little thing like that, under such circumstances. The actor may have done the same thing, but it was thought that he took no advantage of his opportunities. On this morning it had been agreed upon thatthe test should be made at the bath. Hence the manand the bustle. The wise young concert singer first handed out a white lawn .dress—a mere web, ALL LACE AND OPEN WORK, where such things sre both fashionable and possible. It and its beit of ribbon weighed precisely one pound on the spring scules borrowed of the cook at the boarding house. Then came three white skirts which weigh two pounds, and the bustle and shoes, which weighed one ound three ounces. These were fol- owed by stockings, cuffs, collar and handkerchief, weight ail together four ounces, and a hat that weighed five ounces. The corsets, stigmatized in books and lectures for half a century as barbarous and brutal, weighed—what do you suppose? Three ounces and no more. Next came a little wisp of white dry goods caught tightly around the middle with a pu f twine. . “‘What is this?”’ the judge and weigher inquired. “Never mind,” can isn't this, it's those,” a pause, “what I mean to say is that there s more than one piece there and you are not to untie the string, on your honor.” This was agreed to, the lady lookers-on saying that they would see the promise kept, and the judge wrote down, ‘‘those —eight ounces.” There was as much figuring and argu- ing over the conversion of pounds into ounces and ounces back again to pounds as ever followed the attempts of Miss Corson’s class to produce a dish of terre- pin sauce, but at last this result was an- nounced: *‘Total weight of Miss Blank’s things™ (note the mannish way of speak- ing of what he deemed so mysterious that even the good old word ‘‘cloth never occurred to him) “fifty-seven ounces or three pounds and nme ounces."” Then came the we ghing of the actor’s apparel, and the first thing hooked on the scales, by tho way, outweighed the lady’s clothes tremendously, so much so that if it had not been for 'a woman of sense standing by, who knew that the whole fiworld would like to know the truth about this much-vexed question, nothing more would have been put on the scales, and the bet would have been sottled. This first thing was the actor’s outer suit of trousers, vest ana unlined sack coat. These weighed five pounds precisely. ¢ the answer, ‘it THINK OF IT. Thirteen ounces more 1n aman’s outer- most garments than in all the lady wore. The weights set down to the actor's credit (and discomfiture) were as follows: pounds. ounces. Suspenders. Shirt and undershirt. Shoes and socks ... Collar, enffs (with ._ |o wews 3 % Total.... Total for lady z g Excess of weight clothes........ . What a sevmon there i3 in those fig- ures! What an opportunity for the men of all eras and all occupations to take back all that they ever wrote concerning woman's inhumanity to herself in drag- ging around great weight of clothing ani in loading herself with pounds of super- tluities. To be sure, the lady said she wore the lightest garments she had, but she might have put on her heaviest ap- parel,and even then she would have won the wager easily. As for the actor, he declared he had never dressed more lightly, though not in preparation for the test, but on account of the weather. CLARA BELLE. s A Kenttcky Desperado Killed.
