A question which has been bothering the base ball magnates for somoe s “how to in- crense the batting?” This s been discussed from ocean to the past six months and no solation has yet been reached.

Al- though the associntion ishut a year old. it promises to become a potent factor in the base ball legislation of the country, and has already made its influence felt. Its object is to assist the rules commit- tee in perfecting the playing rules, and transact any other business connected with the game that might come under its jurisdiction. Racing has been started at New Or- leans, and will continue almost without interruption throughout the winter. The extent to which racing is ied on in this country may be gained when it is remembered that, although winter isupon us, there is racing in the east south and on the Pacitic coast. The racing at Clifton and Guttenberg,thanks to the open winter so far, has been free froma objectionable features. Late when the snows of winter fall, the tacle will be presented of overtrain brutes ploughing through the snow over a miserable track for a small purse. The projectors of these meetings and the owners of the poor brutes who run should be arrested for eruelty to ani- mal: Although It is 1 go hose who predieted that pugilism wiis on the wane have hardly been borne out in fact, The winter promises to be an exiremely lively one, both tocally and in the centers of pogilism. It is remarkable that the twoextreme points of the union---New York and San Fran- cisco---should now be the scene of the areat pugilistic events. There are no less tha s now onat Frisco between heavy weights, light weights and bantams, Jackson and MceAuliffe are hard at work for their match.which comes off in December.

The articlesin the Myer-McAuliffe tight have been signed at last, and the fight will take place somowhore botwoen Streator and Louis, in December. The MeAuliffe party was sensible to come West. The Streator people do not want any the best of it, and no interference will be had from roughs or thugs. Streator will go broke on Meyer, and, as the Eastern sporting men think McAuliffe can whip any light-weight living, the fight promises to produce the liveliest betting ever seen at a ring side, The local pugs are getting ready for an active winter, The time for the Daly- MeManus fight is approaching, and both men are training havd for the event. Daly is the favorite, but McManus will give bim a better fight than some people imagine. He is uwk- 1 in his movements, but sometimes the most awkard men are the hardest to reach. The Flint-Zachritz fight is receiving some attention.

To be an acceptable amanuensis, sa the Phonographic World, you must (1), be an expert writer of sorthand; (2), an expert writer on the typewriter: (3), dir penman: (4), a good English scholar, and (5), a good girl. Perhaps you think the last're- quirement the casist. and so it is—to o good girl. But to be u good gl in the sense 1 mean is something more than being good-natured, obliging, truth- loving. or even faithful. All these you must be, but beyond them you musi be a porson whose presence ns well as whose work is desirable. In homely phrase, you must be just that kind of n girl whom people like to “have avound.’ There is ho objection to your being pretuy - if youean't help it: butit you should happen tobe pretty.don’t presime on your good looks. nor imagine that that they will, in anywa atone for your short-comings. sweet smile from a bright face delights any man of sense, but if there is nothing behind it it does not gro It is every girl’s privilege—it ought never to be spoken of us aduty—to dress becomingly. The girl amanuen- sis is dressed becomingly when she is dressed appropriately to” her business; and to be thus dressed need not detract asingle charm from her loeliness—in fact it will only ad¢ to herloveliness.
