POPULAR GAME OF HIGH FIVE Notable Events for Next Week—Move- ments of the Prominent Base- ball Players—The Approa, ing Wheel Contist. Lily in England, Srockrour, Jan., 20.—To the ditor of Tue Bee: I have noticed in several Omaha papers accouats of what “Our Lily" is doing abroad and thinking it might prove interesting to some of the read- ers of Tue Ber, 1 will endeavor to give a de- scription of England and an account of our doings in a foreign clime, Owing to a delay on the Rock Island rail- road I missed connection with steamer Ger- manic on which the Eck combination sailed from New York, August 28, 1 stopped in New York until August 81 and then sailed for Liverpool on the Umbria via Cunara line, landing in that city after a good voyage, in which I proved,myself a good sailor, Beptember 7, jus six doys and nine hours from the time we fted snchor, Stopping n Liverpool over night, I then joined the combination at Long Eaton, our training quarters, and immediately went 1nto aoctive training, No one with any eye to the beautiful can fail to admire England, with its victuresque old buildings, beautiful parks and green flelds. The ronus ure paved with stone, in fact store or brick seems to be the order of the day, ana during my travels so far, from north 10 south and east to west through Eng- land, I huve the first time to see a frame bullding or & plank sidewalk, The houses are built in rows, from two to three stories high and are called cottages, but we would call them flats or blocks. 'The rent is col- lected weekly and averages from 4 suillings © penco to 6 shillings. Railway travel cannot compare with ours for ease aud comfort, their cars are small and divided into thréo compartments—first, coud and third—with the entrance at the side, Tho tickets are taken up at the end of the journey. Stations are close together, 8nd'in travaiing & distanco of fifty mijos you would change cars on au avorage every third ion. ’ ‘aking them as o mass the English are pleasant, hospitable, hardworking people, re- ceiving very poor compensation for their labor, Weekly wages are as follows: La- borers, from 18 to to 23 shillings; tradesmen, 28 to 80 shillings; clerks, 12to 80 shillings; servants, £12 to £40 per unoum. Liviog ex- penscs are about the same as in America, Eugland is a country behind us in_every- shing, 1 have met the best riders, both ama. feur and profossional, of the' day, and thoy are truly fine riders, us well shey may be, for they have the finest outdoor tracks in the world to train on, The accommodation for indoor racing is very peor: und I have not tried to make a showing door on account of the tracks being too all to allow we to ride at speed with safety. Ihave been very successful in my outdoor raciug, having won nearly every race. Ientered with our combiuation, and against men, protessionals, in which I won & three-mile handicap at Notungham against Lee and Allard, and & one-mlile handicap, best two in three, at Derby, ageiust Lee, Robb and the combination. I have made some good records from a quarter of & mile 10 42 seconds o ten miles in §2:50. ~The girl: are ridlug in splendid form, Stanley seem: ather the best on tho swall tracks, but is orowded to the utmost by Mile. Armaindo, who 18 riding in her ola time form aud crowds the riders when she goes to the lead. have won bumerous sobriquets amopg which the wost comwon are Plucky Black, Donavan and Howell, occasionally T hear the familiar cry of *‘Go on Omaha, lap ‘em!” and I mnever fail when that request reaches mé'to respond and go to the front. Having cancelled my engagement with the combination I am daily undergoing a courss of training, consisting of walking, wrestling, dumb bell e: ises, clap awinging and wheel riding, to condition me for a £100 sweepstake race to be run at Faris March 1 against three French ladies, managed by Mons. beberbee of Paris. 1am training at Ash Inn training grounds under the special direction of the old-time champion sprinter and trainer, Ed Moulton of Minneapolis, who i8 also handling Jim Collins in his races in England, [ am also negotiating with London parties for a race at o later date in that city. Iam in excellent condi- tion and, barriug accident, am confident on my return to America somo time in May, Ishall be the nolder of the French and Eng- lish championship medals and shall then be prepared to match myself against any woman in America for a bonafide stake of from £100 o £200. The Tvpographical union Is strongly rep- resented throughout England. Influenza is the prevailing epidemic here us it is in other foreign countries, but does not seem of such a dangerous form, Yours very truly, Lituie WiLLIAMs, HIGH F1V The Four Hand Game with Partners Now Having a Great Run. Numerous fnquiries have reached Tne Bee about the game of cards called *‘high five,”” which had its origin in Nebraska, and ot the Hampton house, Holdredge. The fol- lowing rules, prepared by one who has been there, ara vouched for as correct: 1. Number of Cards—Use full pack of cards without the joker. 2. Value of Cards in Counting—There are fourteen points to be counted 1n each deal— viz,, ace, jack, ten-spot and deuce of trump count one each; the five spot of trump and the other five spot of the same color (which becomes trump) count five each. The deuce oounts to the side playing it; all the others count 1o the side taking them. 8. Value of Cards in Taking Tricks—The value of the cards in taking tricks is i the ving order, beginning with the high- est—viz.: Ace, king, queen, juck, ten-spot, nine-spot, @Ight-spot, — seven-3pot six-spot, five-spot, four-spot, threc-spot, two-spot. The lowest trump card outrauks the highest lay cards, and the fiye-spot of trump suit outranks the other five-spot of the same color. 4 4. Cards of No Value—The lay cards are of no value; therefore it is better to have small lay cards than large ones; they are only played in order to change the lead or to ive the partner a chance to trump with a five-spot, or when the player has no trump. See Sec. 18). b. Dealing—Ladies cut for deal in first game (low deals; uce lowest in cutting), al~ ter which deal in rotation to left. After first gawe the first deal 1s accorded to the lady who last comes t the table, Deal nive cards to cach player, three at a time, 6. Nawing Trump—The trump i3 named by the highest bidder, the player at the left of the dealer bidding first (see Note 1) and the others bidding i their turn if they wish 10 raise tho bid. The suit bid upon must not be named by anyone until it is distinetly un~ derstood who bids bighest; then the highest vidder names the trump. Each player has but one bid, which opportunity he forfeits if L6 pass: 7. Number of Trumps—There are fourteen trumps iu the pack, couutiog the second five #pot of the same color, 8. Discarding and Drawing—After the wine cards aplece have been dealt and the truwp is pawed each player discards from his hand, faces upward, all except trump cards, and calls upon the dealer for a sufici- ent number from the deck to make up & hand of six cards, which are dealt in order. 1f the deck runs out before all are supplied, iency from those discarded, more than six trumps he retaining by mistake, oy IFlnyer discovering it may plck it up aud add it to his hand, discarding anotber in ité place. But if trumps have been discarded because of an overflowing haud they canuot be thus captured, but must remain discarded. If o counting trump 1s discarded by mistake and mnot discovered until the cards are all played it counts to the side naming the trum| 9. lobbing the Deck—After the discard- g and drawing explained in_ the vreceding section, if any cards remain 1n the deck the dealer has the rivilege of examining them and oxchanging any cards in his hand for any trumps which he may find. 10. Leading—All being now ready to play and each player having six cards, the higheat bidder and namer of the trump leads. (Sge Note 2.) 11. Setting Back—The side naming the trump must make as mauy points as they have bid or be set buick that number; even if they ‘have no points on their score they are still sevback the full number and put ‘40 the hole,” 12, Counting—The side naming the tramp couut as mauy points as they make, pro- vided they make as many or more than ‘their bid. Tha other side always countall they make. 13. Following Suit—When trump is led you must follow suit if you haveit, If you have no tramp you may as well throw up your hand, unless your adversaries failed to notice that you are outof trumps, in which case it is better to hold out until they do notice it. When a lay card is led follow suit if you havoe it unless you prefer to trump. 14, Trumping—You always have the privilegeof trumpiug. (See Note 8.) 15. Game—Twonty-one points constitute a gamo at the head table, (38 Note 4.) 16, Playing Out a Hand—At the head table they should always finish a hand which is commenced before either side is twenty-ono. Then the side having most points, if twenty-one or more, wins the game and taps the bell, 17, All Games Stop—At the tap of the bell the games stop at all tables and the side having most points, counting all points made up to that moment, wins the game and moves up to the next table. In case of a tie score ladies cuvand low wins. Bach game huglmu as well as ends at the signal of the 18, Changing Partners—Change partners each game and at every table, including the frst, The winning couple at each table move up to the next higher table, ‘except in the case of the head table, where the win- ning couple remain and the losing couple move down to foot table, 10. Prizes—Four prizes may be given, as follows: To ludy having most games, to lady having most poiats, to gentlomen buving most games and to gentlomen having most pownts. In case two persons have a tie score the contestants can each choose & partner and play another game to accide it. In case four persons are tied they draw cuts for partners and play another game to decide, Note 1—After arranging your cards you calculate how many points you can probably make With your best suit, with the ald of your partaer, ana the chance you both have of drawing more cards of that suit, and you bid accordingly, bearing in mind section 11, contest did wot prevent a man from comwpet- ing in anovice racg, but ut a recent meeting of the racing board the rule was made to read: “A novicerace is open only to those who, up to the date, have never won a prize.” This rule 15 important to all club men haying won briz)s in their elub races, as it prevents them from competing in novice races. At the samo time 1t is decidedly wrong, Club races or match races should never be taken 11to account in novice races of any kind. The Continentals Challenge, The Continental polo team has been re- organi Tt i3 now composed of the fol- lowivg pluyers: Chumberlam , first_rush; Keunedy, second; Paltee, conter; Smith, half-back, and Jean, goal tend.

The inside will be painted and finished in first-class style, and & large veutilator will be placed at the top. The maiu entrance will be finished in sultable style, making the building one of the handsomest steuctures in the city. “‘We want the morchants and mannfactur- ers to commence getting their exhibits ready for the fall exposition, ms it is the intention to have the next exhibit one of the finest ever seen in the country. Holding an ace with one or two cards to back 1t would justify a bi of six and if the back- ing cards are high you might bid seven or eight or more. Holding five-spots in your hand is not particularly desirable to name trump on, If you hold high cards and nawe the trumpat is better that your partner hold the five spots. Never bid ununecessarily bigh; get tho making of trumps as cheap as possible, 1f you have & poor hand aud sus- pect that your adversary is anxious to name the teuwp it is sometimes well to bid more than your hand justifies so as to lead your adversary to raise the bid and thus take groater risks. Note 2—The first lead i3 usually the ace of trumps (butthis, of course, depends upon tho haud), and ia the partnér's turn to play he should play a tive-spot if he has one, and thus save It 1o their sido, Note 3—If a lay card is led the proper play for the third hand is to trump higher ‘ban fivespot, to prevent the fourth hand from trumping with a five-spot. But if thie five-spots have been played, or the third hand holds them or knows the fourth band does not hold one, his trump need not thus be wasted.

The Clevelands and Cincinnatis will both play in Omaha in April, Milwaukee will probably give Hardie Henderson a trial, Catcher Georgo Moolic takes part in pub- lic sparring exhibitions in Boston. Only eight more weeks and the fans will be wending their way toward the ball park. In Taylor Shafer, late of Toledo, a good second baseman is available for any club, he being foot-loosa. President Speas is confident that Jack Pickett will prove the best captain that apy Kansas City club ever had. Albert, of the Milwaukee team, was called home last weok to atcend the funeral of his mother at Reading, Pa. Kansas City's young pitcher, Frank Pears, is already at work practichg daily. 1le ex- Pects to @o star work iext season. s Jack O'Connor caught more games last year than any other Association catcher, eighty-four games being his quota, vitcher Western plavers all say that in Ducky Hemp the Pittsburg league team has se- cured a corking good cen! fielder., With Veach and Browning in the samu city, things will be pretty lively in Cleveland should they both break out together. Len Stockwell, who caught Duryea in St. Paul during 1887, has signed a Cleveland League contract. He will play i one of the outfields, Sporting Times: Omaha has gathered together a big team, The other members of the Western association had botter keep an eye on this aggregation from the very Big Jim Duryea 1s being roasted by the Cincinnati press to the queen's taste They ay he is only aonce a weck pitcher, but an overy day lusher. Jimmy has “jined” the brotherhood. The Milwaukeo elub next season will not sell boer at 1t games on_any day of the year oxcent Sundays. Ladies will bo admitted froc, except Suturdays and Sundays. Omaha now has a chance to secure Reddy Mack, one of the greatest second basemen in the country, and they should loose no time in closing the deal. Heis theonly disengaged mun io the profession who could come anywhere near filling Crooks' shoes, U. S. Rohrer, manager of the Hastings Reds for three years, now of the firm of Cramer & Rohrer, looks favorable to the formation of & base ball league in Nebrask he thinks that a team could be run at col paratively small expense. Fx-Manager Watkins, of last year's [{an- sas Uity club, says that he is desa to the baseball world forever, as far as managing is concerned. 1 as shaken off managel cares and worr forever, and will never assume them again as long as the coal and feed business is as good as at present, Kansas City is not presumptuous at all. Her managers say they can sell her best players and still win the pennant of the Western association, They do not realize the fact that they would have had to work hard to get secoud or third place with their full American association team,—Sporting News, Maunager Rowe has about completed his dates for Hot Springs and the Texas circuit, He expects to play two games with each of the Texas teams, which will give them an opportunity to measure their strengih with a representative Western association team, and it is supposed they will try very hard to do Deunver up. Iowe, Curtis and White sigued contracts last weelk, Flanoigan, the first baseman who last sea- son played with Louisville, has been secured by Des Moines. Flannigan is a good man all round, and 1s an exceptiovally hard bitter. He will receive Fusselbach's hard shots from third, Speakivg of Fusselbach the Des Moines papers say he is a better man thun Alvord, Heis a brilliant fielder, and covers an immense amount of territory: He will no doubt prove the star third base. man of the Western association.

It will make the cranks dauce with joy to learm that little Danny Minnehan will be with Minoeapolis again this scason, Danny is a great favorite with the Flour City cranks, and well he might be, as ho is oneé of the best all-around players in the Western association as well as. one of the most gentlemanly. Jake Beciley has written a lotter to the Pittsourg league club in which he supports the Southernstrip idea und states that whether the team goes south or not he will g0 there. Beckley adds that he is practicing every day and that the base ball authorities of Quincy and other western cities think that La Roque is one of the best infielders among all the young players in the country. La Roque 18 the third baseman signed by the Pittsbure club, Bockley is in excellent con- dition und is of the opinion that he will play ®00d ball. The Sioux City club has been completed by the signing of Henry Seibel, the pitcher who was disabled last ar. The club as now made yp for 1800 1s as follows: Pitch ers, Burdick, Seibel and Devlin; catchers, Crotty, Crossley and Murphy; first base, Powell; second base, Brosnan; third base, Kappell; - shortstop, Stevens; outfielders, Glenn, Genins and Cline. Manager Powell, who is in the east, will be asked to explain why he has signed some of his especial friends for six and a half months and others only for the regular season of five and a half months, causing thereby an extra expense of $1,700, and also several other little matters that to the managers do not seem to bo ex~ actly straight, Manager Cushman says that Milwaukee is going to wim the pennant, The Brewers have five pitchers—Flanacan, Thorson and Clausen, in addition to the old favorites, Davies and Griffith. For catchers there are Jantzen, Krieg and Westiake. Morrissey will guurd first base, Shoch scond, Ike third, Alberts shortstop, and & good man will be secured for left if Krieg will not play it This is the strongest aggregation Milwaukee hes ever had on the ball field and under able management the Milwaukees ought to make @ good showing. Manager Cusiman will ar- rive in Milwaukee February 15. He will this year issuo the official score card and score book, as well as attend to the fence advertisements, This will keep him busy untal April 1, when his men report for duty. The admission tickets to Athletic park the coming season will ba 25 cents and 50 cents for the 1d siand. The pavillion will be done uway with and the seats made over into one grand stand. — The lKeen Policemun, Atlanta Constitution: *“The best story about a policeman that I've heard latelv isono on a new man that had only served a few woeks,” remarked one of the sergeants. “Ho was noted for his speed in run- ning, and was o muscular cuss, so that he delighted the superior officers when on parade. “One night a negro broke house on his beat, and the alarm was raised. He ran toward the sceno and ar. d soon enough to see the robbor. Instead of shooting at him he blew his gong and set out after the fleeing negro on a dead run, They had it for several hundred yards, and he began to gain on the egro, who was slackening his speed, Suddenly the man on the next beat, who had run toJhis assistance, and who was following a8 fast as he could, saw his comrade sit down. Running to where he was, be exclaimed: “What's the matter, are you hurt?” “No—hugh —hugh—I've just—hugh hugh—stopped to—hugh — hugh—pull off my shoes,” he answered, gasping for breath, as he jerked his shoes off. “What on earth do you want your shoes off fory” “Why—hugh—hugh—you see the fel- low—hugh—hugh—might turn on me and I don’t want him--hugh—hugh— to have no advantage on me.

One day he received a visit from one of them who bad reached the age of desperation. Her muanner was solemn, though somewhat em- barrassed. The good bishop spoke with his usual kindness and encouraged her to be communicative. By and by he drew from her that she had had a very strange ‘dream, or rather, as she thought, a revelation from heaven. On further questioning she confessed that it had been intimated to her that she was to be united in marringe to the bishop. One may imagine what a start this gave to the quiet scholar, who had long before inarricd his books and neverthoughtofany other bride. He re- covered, however, and addressing her very gently said thatdoubtless these in= timations were not to be despised. As yet, however, the designs of heaven were but imperfectly explained, as they had been revealed to only one of the parties. He would wait to see if any similar communication should be made to himselfgand when it happened he would be sure to let her know. : L A Waste of Enorgy, Chicago Tribune: A certmin young Chicago lawyer—it is just as well ot to give his name—was trying a case in & Justice’s court a few years ago. He was deeply interested in the case and most anxious to win it, g0 he put in u good deal of time looking up decisions bear= ing on the point, and when he made his speech cited case afier case. He made the strongest speech he ki how to male, and the justice histened to it all intently. When the young lawyer had finished the justies leaned back in his ehair and appeared to be considering the mattor, ““We ought to win this,” said the law- yer to his client, “but I'm a litlle afraid,” “You ne 't be,” rephed the client calmly. *You neodn’t have worked 8o hard, eithe I saw him this morning, He wanted fifty,but finally took twenty= five.” f justice, by the way, is not on the bench now, e Horrld Grammar, Washington Post: Mamma,” said Mamie de Porque, ‘‘who founded the Chinese empire?” *Why, Mamiel” exclaimed Mrs, de Porque, *‘I'm lu)bl_ tively shocked at you.” “Why mamma,” *“Such horrid grammar,” “1"don’t see anything wrong with that sentence.” ‘I’ ashamed to have to tell you, but you should have said *Who discovered the Chinese empire?’
