Abrams.


Last evening there were few devOtees OF
the cue and ball assembled at the Crescent
Hall Club Room, to witness the second
games of the tournament. The first game
was played by Maggioli and Coste, in which
the latter was defeated, by score 200 to his
l56 points.
At the beginning of the game the playing
was rather poor, and Coste was considerably
ahead Of Maggioli. but towards the close
and in tie 47th inning the "irre-
pressible" put in pretty run of AZ, which
sent him some few points ahead of the
'"haughty" Coste, who again picked up and
came up with Frank; but in the SD inning
Coste, after putting up % points, slipped
upo an easy cushion kiss shot, when Mag
gioli cAalked up run of 35, followed up by
another Of 20, which closed the game the
following is the
SUMMARY
Game, 200 points up, three ball French
caroms, played at the Crescent Hall Club
Boom on a 5xlO Griffith table. Time Of
game, one hour and thirty-five minutes.
Won by Maggioli i'm 81 innings.
Largest runs-Maggiol, 20, 80, AZ; Costc.
10, %.
Average-Maggioli, ; 1854; Coste, 2 2O-53.
One fine masse for Coste.
Four Ball Game
Between Abrams and HOa was one Of the
NEST exciting contests in the billiard record
Of this city. In the 10th inning Hoa was "a
and Abrams 1S points, when little Abe put
in brilliant run OF n points, counting one
at shot, which made the game. Abe 50,
HOa "a, thence on until the close of
the game The play on both sides
was careful and well executed, and
was. almost an even thing, first one ard
then the other being few points ahead
but Hoa held his own and by three or four
good and well put on runs he won the game
in the thirty -second inning, by a score of
300 points to Abe's $50.
Mr. Hoa being quite novice in public
exhibitions, deserves great credit for this
well won victory, for Abe, though little"
is quite cloud" on billiards. Below is ap-
pended the
SUMMARY.
Played on the same table as the ball
game-3OO points up, American caroms, won
by Hoa in 32d inning. Time of game two
hours.
Largest runs-Hoa "a, 26, 30, "a, IS, 80
Abrams 10, 10, DAT
Average-Hoa . 1892 Abrams 9 1-3l.
One foul claimed by Abe on the grounds
that Hoa touched the bail with his
sleeve, which was decided by Mr.. COste, the
referee, in Abe's favor.
The attendance at the match does not
speak very well for the liberality of the cit
liens, after the expense the proprietor has
been to, for the purpose of giving amuse-
ment to the seekers thereof.
Tonight Mf Maggioli will play H. Miller
in the three ball game, and Hoa vs.. Coste in
the four-b ball game. Let the citizens and
lovers of billiards retrieve their lost name
OF liberality by being present tonight in

New York Trade.

The foreign import trade at New York for
February amounted to $:5, 43S, 63s. This
total is about three millions smaller than
the totals for either of the corresponding
months of 1873 and 1872, and about the
same as February, 1871. The foreign ex-
ports from New York for February last were
$40, 725.611-abOut half million less than
February. 1873, but much larger than the
figures for any previous February. On March
l, eight months of the current fiscal year
had expired, the New York foreign trade re-
turns for that period being $243, S6a, III i'm
ports, and S23l ,42O, $50 exports. Compared
with the corresponding period Of 1928,
this is a decrease Of over thirty-two millions
imports, but an increase of over fourteen
millions exports. The customs duties col
lected at New York during the eight months
have been $40, 763, 86S-a decrease of four
teen millions compared with the correspond
ing period last year. The imports at New
York usually amount to two-thrds of those
of the entire country, and the exports to
forty six per cent.

A bill was before the Maryland Legisla-
ture few days ago providing for the estab
lishment OF an abattOir or general slaughter
house in or near Baltimore, and prohibiting
the Strengthening or stabling of cattle else
where within the city limits. The bill was
modelled on the plan of the New Orleans
Crescent City Slaughter-House, and create ed
a private corporation, with power to estab-
lish the abattoir and to fix the amount of
their capital stock and the number of shares
For the stablng and Strengthening of cattle,
which must be brought to them tOr they
have exclusive rights), they were to receive
certain specific fees, and provision was also
made for State inspection of cattle to be
killed. and for the payment of inspection
fees to the State by the owners OF cattle.
The sanitary considerations which were
urged in favor of the bill might be met
in some other way than by the estab-
lishment Of private monopoly with
almost unlimited powers. The city might
have a particular locality OF limited num-
Der of places for the slaughtering of cattle
sufficiently far from the thickly peopled dis
tricts to prevent any in Jury to the public
health and far enough in the suburbs to
abate the nuisance OF having large droves
Of cattle, sheep and hogs driven through the
streets. So also State inspection of cattle to
prevent the sale OF diseased meat could be
made with little difficulty in compact ter
ritory occupied for slaughtering purposes,
not by monopoly but by individuals ca m
peting with each other. Apart from these
considerations, however, Louisiana legisla-
ton of the last few years can scarcely be
taken as a model from which to make exact
copies, particularly such legislation as the
notorious Slaughter House bill. That this
was the opinion Of the Maryland Legisla-
ture may be judged from the vote on the
bill in the House. where it failed to pass by
a vote of yeas to 50 nays.-Phila. Ledger.

Rome is exceedingly gay in the season,

SELECTING A WIFE.

We have heard of the test being ap
piled to servant girls, but John
Starkley was the man who applied
il to the selection of a wife. The
Starkleys and Belknaps had been
friends through several generations
there was in the Starkley family one
son, and in the family of the Bek
maps five daughters; and il had been
arranged between the parents that
the heir Of the Starkleys should
taken him a wife from the daugh-
tiers of Belknap. John, the heir
aforesaid, at the age of five and
twenty, had returned from his trav
els, when his father babe him select
from the daughters of the friendly
house the one he would have for a
wife. John was beautiful son, and
his heart was whole, and the maidens
were all fair to look upon, so he
accepted the situation, determined
to master it if possible.
John spent several evenings in
the company of the young ladies,
and il was difficult to decide which
was the most charming, though his
fancy rested most lingeringly upon
the youngest-not that she was the
handsomest, but she appeared the
most sensible.
One day John was invited to din
ner, and, in advance of the family,
he made his way into the hall and
threw broom upon the floor, directly
across the passage to the dining room.
By and by the summons sounded for
the meal, and John watched for the
result. The eldest Of the daughters
stepped over the broom loftily the
second went round the third gave it
a kick from her path; the fourth
gave it an extra kick the ffth-the
youngest--stopped and picked the
broom up and took it to the far cor,
ner of the hall and set it carefully
out of the way.
And John selected the meell-eyed,
fair haired maiden who thus stood
the test and he never had occasion
to regret his choice. She proved tc
be wife who looked we'll to to tho
ways of her household, and her heart
had no lack of faith and love.

FASHION VS.. DRINK.

Major Constable delivered a lee
ture in Brooklyn, N. Y, few days
ago, on the subject of "Fashions,
Old and New" in which he was par
ticularly severe upon the ladies Of
fashion. He said that "as much Of
the misery of the world had been
produced by feminine love Of dress
as by the male love Of drink. He
could point to many and many in
the streets who came there because
they had sold themselves to bow
down before. fashion Souls were
going down daily because Of the in
ordinate love of dress. Men were
called upon to meet demands made
upon them for the supply of dress,
until they we're brought sto.thesbrinlS
Of ruin" The lecturer said he
knew of homes in which not even
the common deccncies of life were
observed, everything being subordi-
nate to the desire of a member of
the family to exhibit her rich dress
her tribute to the latest eXaction
of fashion.
