A FAT LOT. An amusing game Of
baseball was played in Rochester ~
Y, between picked mines OF lean men,
named Stringbeans, and fat men calling
themselves Marrowfats. Both clubs
were weighed, the Marrowfats weighing
in the aggregate 2,040 pounds, an aver
age of over 226 pounds each, while the
Stringbeans weighed 1,100 pounds, or
an average of less than 1913 pounds each.
The stakes were half bushel of pea
nuts. The score stood "a for the Mar
rowfats to 26 for the Stringbems, the
lean men beating the fat ones by two.

EXCITING FOUR-OARED BOAT
RACE
NOVA SCOTIA,

HALIFAX, September L. The four
cared race to-day was one Of the most
brilliant events in the annals of aquatic
sports. Tho course was three nautical
miles in length. The competing boats
were required to double course the dis
tance, making IL nearly seven miles. The
morning was delightfully."- clear, and
gathered crowds We're assembled on the
erected stands, and lined the docks and
housetops along the city front.
Shortly before the race sea breeze had
sprung up, making the water rough, es-
pecially the lower part of the course.
In the drawing of positions the Taylor
crow got No. /. Tho Burton, American
crew, got the worst position, on the out
side, near the eastern shore harboI. At
the start it was impossible to say which
got water first. Roche's boat fell behind
after few minutes but the other five
kept together pretty steadily for the first
two miles. The advantage which the two
English crews had gained in getting the
inside position gave them smooth water
along the wharves, while the Americans
being out in the stream, got full force Of

The Americans gained rapidly as soon
as they got the course as smooth as that
on which the Englishman were rowing.

believe that if their boys had not been

WILSON FOR SENATOR IN
IOWA.
DROWNING OF A FRAIL ONE

CHICAGO September IA special from
Desmoines says that Hon. James 7. Will
son has consented 10 be candidate for the
United States Senate from Iowa. Mr..
Wilson is now east, but before leaving:he
informed friend that If the general as
sembly, when they came together, thoug ght
1t advisable TO elect him he would accept
the trust.
A few days ago boat was upset in the
lake and man and woman, the occupants,
were thrown into the lake. The man was
picked up and while on the way to the
police station with Mr.. McGovern, who
rescued him, ran away and made his
escape.
Yesterday, the man was discovered in
| the North western railroad company's
shop, and was arrested. He explains his
conduct as follows:
lie said he had been on q spree and met
the girl, who was drowned, on the street,
and asked her TO take boat ride She
consented. They obtained . boat, and
when about mile from the shore she asked
him to let her row the boat. While chang
ing places the boat upset and she was
drowned. The reason, he says, for his
running away, when on his way to the po-
lice office, was that ho was . married man
and did net want his wife to know that he
had been boating with q prostitute. He
was held for examination.
1t is now said that there will be no con.
frmation in Christ Church until Bishop
WhitehOuse requests Mr.. Cheney to pre-
sent the candidates which he probably
will not do.
1t should be understood that the action
Of Mr.. Cheney has, from the first, had
the cordial support of his wardens and
vestrymen; in fac., that he follows them
instead of being their leader.
At q meeting Of tho vestry last night,
MI Cheney offered his resignation for the
fifth time, but it met with an unanimou,
no.

The Wonders Of the Far West.

A member of the scientific expedition under
charge of Professor Hayden of the United
States Geological Survey, in a remarkably in.
teresting letter to the Philadelphia Press, writ
ten from the Yellowstone Lake, gives some de-
scriptious Of the physical wonders with which
that region abounds.
In two days the party examined, mapped
and recorded the temperature of over three
hundred geysers and hot springs, embraced
within an area of five miles. They vary from
10 deg +. to the boiling point, which in that
elevated region is only l9S deg. f. No idea
can be conveyed of the exquisite beauty of these
springs, The correspondent states that they
are Of all sizes, rcaching even diameter OF 4O0
feet and a depth that is untathomable. The
edge presents Us with series of scallops ar
ranged with the utmost regularity, while the
sides, which sometimes slope inward gradually
until lost to view, and again descend abruptly
and perpendicuarly, arc corrugated and often
encrustcd in the most varied manner Looking
into one Of the cavities, filled with water clear
us crystal, the tint seen is most beautiful
blue, like the clear blue Of a stainless sky when
the color is most intensified. Every cavity
seems lined with portion of the heavens, con-
yoluted and rolled over the projected ridges on
the sides Of the spring, each one OF which
| throws back the sunlight broken into its con-
| stltuent coors.
| Around each spring extends vast deposit OF
silicious material OF pure white color on
which the streams flowing from it can be traced
by the red deposit Of iron which lines their
beds. y number Of springs OF low tempcra-
ture are lined with the same deposit OF IRON
| With the exception of three springs, there Is no
sulphur apparent i'll that region.
There is also number of mud springs, the
mud being of all colors, white red, pink, and
blue, and Of all degrees Of consistency. The
steam escaping through the mud reduces it to
an extreme degree Of fncncss, and in pushing
its way through some places, throws it back in
foruls resembling the leaves OF Il lilly. 1t Is
also often projected to considerable height.
The geyscrs are described as being the most
interesting feature of the whole region. They
throw the water to various heights, and are
intermittent in their action Each has its OWL
regular period OF action some spout every ten
minutes some every hour, aud others only once
in twenty hours. When not playing some are
perfectly quiet, while in others the water bollS
and surgcs all the time 10 the morning, says
the writer, while it il still COOL one would not
have to exercise his Imagination very much
to think himself in some great manufacturing
centre for vast columns Of steam rise about
him in all directions Que of them threw up
column of water Of over ten feet i'll diameter
to height O.! more than two hundred feet, the
water falling TO the ground with thud that
fairly made it shake. 1t is land filled with
