SPUD GETS ALL THE BLANE Foldier Boys Lose a Ball Game and Lay it on the Unfortunate Umpira, RED HOT TIME DOWN AT HASCALL'S PARK ©aptain David Shanahan and s Gallas Crew Oclebrate & Vietory by Defeating the Second Foot In a Mara Game of Ball, EALLY someof the wild-cyed lunatics who assembled at Nonpareil park yes- terday afternoon wanted to gamblo on the proposition that one Spuder- inlktum Farrish took the game of ball that was played there in his two lily white hands, wrapped it up carefully in ecru tissue paper, tled it with a yellow ribbon and presented it on a silver salver made of tin to Dave Shan- Ahan's Southenders. But these people were simply mistaken. On an average Spuderinktam's adjudica- tion was first class, and the ogregrious blunders he committed yestorday were mainly due to the caloric with which the June air was crammel. The sun, beating so flercely down upon his fair young brow, sort o' scrambled the gob of albumen ho totes around in that skull of nis for a brain, and 10 save his precious fe he couldn't tell a ball from a chest protector nor o strike from 25 cents worth of fine-cut. And then again, he ran the whole gable end of a brick house in his eye as he was turning the corner of Vinton strectand he couldu't see nearly as acutely as he could when ho had his money on tho Conventions last Sunday. It should be borne in mind, however, that no inten- tional wrongdoing 1s charged against Mr. Farrish. He is an esteemed friend of mine, and as square us a storo-box overy time tho game goes his way. Now, 'll tell you what lost the game for the Major Generals, and you will see at once that Spuderinktum is exculpated from all blame. They couldn't play ball even a little bit, and the quicker they burnish up those old muskets of theirs and get out on the prairie and kill a few Indians, the sooner Uncle Sam willget & full return for the munificent wages he pays them, Then you sce, the 'Paveils had all been to a dog fight the night before, and as their purp won, they were feeling out of sight, and the soldicrs were simply pie for them. Had & Handsome Sunday Crowd. Tt was a rare June afternoon, b dntense fervor of the atmosphere, the largest crowds ever scen at the park ‘was on hand to cheer their pets to victory. ‘The elevatod seats under the umbrageous maples were packed, there being possibiy 100 ladies in the throng, while a row of men @nd strect arabs several yards deep lined the right field boundary from “eend to eend.” Everybody wus expecting a hotly contested e, and it was hot, so hot, in fact, that an Shelley boiled a half dozen eggs in tho oatmeal can, and the fellows on the bleach- ers had to stand up every once in a while to keep from burning a holo in their Sunday pants. The features of the battle, however, were numerous and interesting, chief among which was Lacey’s jag, McAuliffe’s coach- ingand the stick work of Colonel Strawberry, the soldicrs’ left fielder. Ho made a regular blatherskite out of himself with the club, but one swallow won't make a summer any more than one man can win a game, The soldiers were still feeling pretty good over the trounciug they Tom Bermingham'’s Conventions last Sunday, and they came upon the field all plumed and belted like so muny knights of the medimval days, but they went away looking s if their " only hope Jiy iu heaven. They wanted the game like the man in Texas wanted a revolver, and there areno artifices ensconced within' the ramifications of the glorious sport which they did not intend to resort to. But when the tume came they forgot to remember that they werealive. Failed to Touch Spud. Major McElvain had that solitary glim of his cocked at an altitude that commanded a birds-eye view of the whole park ata glance; Captain Trapper from Galvesten had a whole satchel full of cunning tricks which he intended to turn at the proper time, while Sergeant Buffalo Willie Cody worked his jaw until you could hear the filling in his teeth rattle, and Adju- tant McGiniss cracked his face trying to convince Farrish that he was a sandbagger and a burglar, But all this had no effect upon the Culpop- per reprosentative. He just straightened himself up like a telephone pole, and with that scornful smile he always assumes when out in society, proceeded about his business like a bartel on a vacation, Brigadicr General Wright was so hot all through the strife that the earth about sec- ond base for a radius of twenty-five yards ‘was_ baked hard, but when the last red- nded son of Mars had turned up his toes 1o the soughing evening winds there were icicles hangins from his razmatans fully a foot long. " Promptly at 4 o'clock my friend Farrish shied the ball into the diamond and Captain Trapper stepped proudly to the plate. The first ball Jelly liberated he smashed hard. It went up into the air like a balloon and came down into Jerry Mahony's hands like a ladle full of mush, This tickled Jellen so excessively that he let one fly at Major Duberry that the major couldn't dodge. Warmed it Up a Little, It caught him in the chest and dislocated his wishbone. But he was glad enough to get to the first corner even at the sacrifice of a few bones. Suanaben's left shin got in the rond of Corporal Stoney’s dust agitator, and there were two of the defenders of our dear old flag on the ba The Southsiders looked as if they were at a wake. .sx:uc that wasw't all of it, not by a long L. , Lieutenant Shea struck out, but Lacey, in trance, lot'tho sphere get away from him. consequences’ were thut Duberry ran i, Stoney to second and the lieutenant t. A wild pitch permitted the corporal to join the ulniur on the beneh, and at the same e passed the lieutenant around to third. Private Hall, a new recruit from Spring- fiela, here seized the club and by a mighty effort sent the ball teaming through the in- ginerated atmosphere clear o the pitcher's box, and Jellen uever even waited for it to sfl. but picked it up and as the lieutenant shod for home, nailed him at the plate. ‘That evoked a mild outburst of applause from the populace nnder the maples. . General Wright was .Iwuu)n-«} off at first and the 'Paveils came in for a piece of it themselves. And all the micks on the bleachers shifted their cuds so's they could holler, Wise procaution. When Dave's Gang Got Even, Little Willie Croft was the first to face the man with the single lamp. He swatted o warm one down to Stoney and Stoney didn't do a thing but snatch it %v the back hair and fire it cver Colonel iniss' Websterlan head. Willie loped way round to third before he could be hu::d off, fi the crowd yelled in unison, McAuliffe. Now there's a man who Xknows his business, if any of us do. “Beforo any one fairly expected it he bt the porciue cuticle in the cerebellum 1t went singing like a shot out among dfi"” vines in Colonel Sheu's garden. lie scored, of course, hut Jack lingered 10 browse awhile at first. He only dallied a moment, though, before he was off for sec- :i‘n.d, and he got 41,100, by a long skate on vest butlons. , bow hilarious the people were. But ] shows what & funny thing this great nal me of ours is. Oue moment you are um!} with the pearly clouds, the next you are groveling in the dust. The ups and downs of life, as it were. Colonel Duberry caught Mahonoy's fly by the logs, and One-Eyed Connelly slammed Mes. Sharahan's pot and pride out at first. A hoavy weight seomed to have settled over the park, but when Jelley caressed her for a couplo of corners, & muflied sound aroso in the stands and kept on increasing until it aevalopea in a roar. McAuliffe had roached home and the scoro was tied. Lacey hit a lazy ono down to Stonoy and of course didn't oven start for first. With his lond. he know such a move would appear idiotic. Then the Soldiers Procesded to Love. The ond was a blank for Unc! am, but not so for the south end delogates. They had gotten their Irish up, and the way they thumped and jabbed One-liye was thrilling to_behold. The gross result was threo more runs, and the majority of the big crowd was happy. In the third the soldiers made a pair, which the Pareils offsot immediately, how- ever, and o it went, After tying the score in the fourth the army became panic ricken and fled in dire dismay. Tho rotreat was disorderly and the fortifications were bespattered with gore. General Wright, after Private Hall had been hit in the head with a mallet in the ninth, gathered his tired and dusty col- umns together and ook up bis march, via Cuming street, for the Fort, beaten, bafiied and busted, But one glance did he shoot at my friend Mr. Farrish, and that, instead of being laden with love and Xindliness, was loaded with baleful malevolence, and it is safe to sny that Mr. Farrish will see no more dress parades this summer.

Dube Dulbn SQUARED Chicago's Prize Fights Will Not Be Inter- fered with by Indiann, Ciieago, June 25.—Late Saturday night information was reccived by President D, C. O'Mally of the Columbian Athletic club from the club’s legal representative at In- dianapolis that Governor Matthews has de- cided to take no further action against the club or scheduled glove contests, and under the act of February last concluded that the club could operate under its pro- visions. Flood and Big Peter Maher, the heavy- weights, spent the day on the road in light exercise and work. Curiously enough both men started out in the morning for a walk down to the World's fair. They met for the first time in their lives in the Midway plais- ance, were introduced, shook hunds and then parted to meet again ‘tomorrow night in the ring, arrayed agaiust each other for pugil- istic supremacy. Napier and Burns, who go to a finish at the close of the curtain raiser between Maher and Flood, have never met. Jockics Taral and “‘Snappe: Garrisoa have brought a lot of money with them to put on Burns, but will probably wait until the odds reach their proper point. Tne east- ern race contingent which came on to attend the Derby will back Burns toa man. Napier's backing will come mostly from local men who have watched the tall Australianat work, and who concend that the man from the Antipodes cannot lose except by a fluke. Certain it is that men were never in better condition than the four men who will tomor- row night battie for the purses hung up. A feature of the new club will be the presence of a regularly retained surgeon at the ring side. It will be his duly to exam- ine the contestants before they enter the ring us to thew physical fitness to battle. A string orchestra and several other novelties have also been pressed into service for the arnival Mongay night. HE GOVERNOR. Chicago Sports Incus!riously Derby Another Hard Ran. Cueaco, June 25 —Boundless' victory in the American derby yesterday is generally acknowledged to have been on its merits, The fearful delay av the post may have in- jured tho chances of somo horses more than others, but Boundless' conquest was so decisive that malcontents have little cause 1o complain. Fortunately none of tho horses At present appear to have been scriously injured by the ordeal, al- though it was'a common opinjon last night that not one of them would be fit to rave again in & month, Clifford’s friends are among those who think they were hurt by the long delay. They argue that the colt was small and not capable to compete with the others when 1t came to a_question of en- durance, There is 4lso no other possible way of explaining Don Alonza’s collupse, though he is apparently a strong col. Much satisfaction is expressed that the great race was won by a western horse ana that the rich purse went toa poor man in- stead of one of the several millionaires who were bidders. John E. Cushing bought Bound'ess of W. §. Barnes lust fall at Lex- ington, Ho went to Barues before the sale and rold him he had not a cent to bid_with, but Burnes told him to chip in_and the fu- ture derby winner was exchanged on a promise to pay #,200. Mr. Cushing recently Pought out his partner, Mr. Orth, and. this left him without any monoy, 5o he had noth- ing with which to back his’ colt Saturday. Mr. Cushing declares that if Lookout had ot .suwml he would have won the race by a loclk.

SMALL ATTENDANCE AT THE FAIR. ss Than Forty Thousand People Take Advantage of the Sunday Openin, Cmicaco, June 25.—The radical Sunday openers must have been gricvously disap- pointed at tho small number of people who visited the World’s fair today. The total admissions, frec and paid, reached scarcely 60,000, and’ the winding 'paths and broad thoroughfares of the White city had a quiet, deserted appearance. The Fine Arts building was about the only placo in all the great ex- position where there was anything like a crowd. The workingmen and theiv families did not turn out as they did on the previous open Sundays. The attendance at the in Festi sligiousy exercises hall were not large. Only a lit- tle over 3,000 persons turncd out to hear Rev. Dr. Thomas preach. He made but a brief reference to the Sunday question, and that was in h ctory remarks. He spoke of the Sab! ing aday of rest, and told of how the ideas of the great mass of people had changed as'o propriety of nd called attention A rules of the Chris- ears ago had about died out. The statue of Hon. William E. Gladstone was unveiled in_ Done, castle, at Mrs. Sarncst Hart's Irish llage, todaye The tle was filled with visitors, among whom were Kate Field, Mrs. Sullivan and others. Charles MacSweeney, the village piper, entertained the visitors until the time ar- rived for the exercises. On the platform were Mayor Harrison, Dr. and Mrs, Hart, Judge Moran, Mrs. Bishop and others. The exercises began by Mayor Carter Harrison delivering an address. He said: For some years past two men have occupled In the pubiic inind places of oven. highercs- teem than any of the previous centuries. One was aman of iron will, n statesman, wily and possessing the strategy of the politician. The other with squal sugncity has hent o the pop- ular opinion, coping with forces brought about by the advancement of men. Ho has been yielding and gentlo but possessing a " force of character cqualled by rone. Bismarck, the raler of Germany, was one, ahd Gladstone, the un- crowned king of England, s the other. Sir Edwin Arnold has sald of Gladstone, that to his certain knowledgo he had spoken on both sldes of every natlonal question since 1880. Ilistory will prove that these two wen were the gréatest of the nineteegth century. Mayor Harrison continuing paid a high tribute to the great English loade: At the conclusion of his words Mrs. Hart unveiled the statue. The acted was greeted by cheers. Tho statue is ten feet in height and represeuts the grand old man in the act of speaking. One hand is extended in ges- ture, while in the other reposes a roll of manuscript. The exercises closed by Dr. Hart giving a sketch of Mrs. Hart's work among the Irish peasants, which has resulted in tho better- ment of the people's condition. McGlynn Returns from Rome.

Tho bishop assigned no reason for his action, but a friend states that when he gave Father Loughran his excat it was with the intention of punishing him for his exhibition of bad temper and to recall it before Sunday. John P, Sutton presided at the meeting, and after stating that tho bishop's flank movement had defeated their object, dwelt at length upon Father Loughran's excellent work in building up the congregation and of his great popularity with his congregation, Hon. John I'itzgerald made a sensational speech in which he denounced the bishop in harsh terms, and declarea thav all the hard work of yeirs in buiding up a mission in Lincoln was threatened with destruction through the imbecility of a man who was no more fitted to wear tho priest’s cowl than a cominon laborer: that he should not give another cent to the church as long as Bonacum wore the mitre, suve to aid the poor priests whom he had persecuted; that Bishop Bonacum had refused to allow Father Loughran any control over bequests to the church, but had kepy the money and not used it for the purposes intended. He declared that the bishop had trampled under foot the rights of both priests and people, and if permitted to exercise authority much longer would disrupt the church, Other speeches evincing bitter hostility to Rt. Rev. Bonacum vrere delivered,and it was decided to appoint a committee of three to examine into the condition of the funds of the diocese. West Polnt Notes ana Persnnals.

A St. Louls Woman Expresses In Dashing Tones. “Do you seo that pretty, slim, gracoful woman, with black eyes and hair, in a big hat and fur cape, over there by a pillar?" said one woman to another in the hearing of the St. Lonis Post. “Well, I'll tell you something surprising about her; as you don't know her I shall not tell von her namo. Doesn't she look refined? You will hardly believe it, | know, but—she swoars!" “‘Swears!” the other woman echoed in horrified tones. “Yes, swears but if you heard her as T have heard her, it wouldn't even shock o preacher. It didn't shock me, and [ am rather fastidious in my choice of good English. She may not do it habit- ually, but I heard her swear once.” The second woman looked at the ac- cused with bulging eyes. ‘One afternoon we wore having a cozy littlo gossip over our fancy work in her boudoir, and she had oceasion to go into her closet for somothing, As she was groping about on a lower shell a pieco bag fell down from its hook onto her head. She hung it up. YA socond time she went into the closet, and a second timo the piece bag fell down on her head. Again she hung it in its place. A third time she was in the closet, and once more that diabolical bag came off the hovk and dropped on her head. “As she picked it wp the third time she turned toward me with a most angelic smile on her bright face and said—in the softest, mildest, most honeyed and ing accents: ‘D—n that picce bag! *‘Her tone was o gentle, o froe from exeitement, that no shoek was produced. Still, T was surprised, and exclaime ‘Why, Louise, what do you mean?' ““1 mean what I say,’ she replied And in the same. soft, mellifluous tone she added, ‘T mean —— that picce bag That is not swearing: swearing is vio- lent objurgation and profanity: 1 am not violentor profane; 1 merely expressed my sentiments toward that picce bag under the circumstances,’ “Well,” commented the other woman, “I should call that swearing.” “Perhaps it was,” admitted the woman who had told the story, “‘but it was ver musical and entertaining. 1 don't say that I approve of it; I merely give you the incident.” b HE GUT THEM. Feoling Two Stage Robbers Poppsd While Divid- ing the Plunder. “One day in October, 1877, I was staging it in northern California,” said Thomas M. Spencer to the Globe-Demo- crat man. “There were six of us in the coach. We were talking about stage robbers. Suddenly the was a halt, and one of the party said, ‘Speak of tha devil and he will appe: Well, we all got out and stood in a line and gave up our purses and our watches. The driver had thrown off the mail bag and the Wells-Fargo sul There were two robbers, neither of them maskud. They were not polite iike the knights of the road of romance, but swore continuously. The job was done in about five minutes, and the robbers told the driver togo ahead. We did so for a half mile or so, when one of the pas- sengers, a silent man whom I had taken for a commercial man,said to the driver: ‘Go slowly and wait for me at the ford.” He then produced a Winchester from the bottom of the coach and started back over the road alone. *Who is he?' we asked of the drive ‘Wells-Fa man, I guess; never saw him before, but 1 guess he knows his business. 1f he comes back, he will have got them; if he don’t, they'll have got him.’ ““T'wenty minutes later we heard some apid firing, We stopped at the ford. arly an hour sed, and then the man who had gone back appeared on the tra1l. He walked slowly as if in pam, and a bloody handkerchicf was tied about his head. ‘Drive back and got the box,” he said to the driver. ‘Did you get 'em? asked the driver. ‘Both of them,’ he replied. We drove back. In the middle of the road where we had been held up both men lay dead. The Wells-Fargo detective, calculating that they would stop to rifle the mail bag and strong box, divide the plunder, and then separate, had quietly walked back. One of them he dropped ‘with his Win- chester before he was suspected; the other got in one shot before he fell, and that had struck the brave man a glane ing blowon the head. Our propert was all restored to us. We helped bury the dead robbers by the roadside.

In the course of the investigation one long-whiskered, be-pistoled native, who was before the commission, began to express himself with a profane forccfulness that was not at all complimentary to the government or its representatives, and Mr, Sherman requested the official stenographer to take down the remarks of the gentle- man from Kan My, Sherman then let the angry citizen go on until he had had his say. “Now look hers said Mr. Sherman, “do you know you have been making yourself liable “to prosecution by what you have said?” The speaker aidn't care a blaukety blank if he had. “Woll, do you know what you sald?" inquired Mr. Sherman.
