quent occurrence, and have gener-
ally proved very interesting and ex
citing affairs. ST. Paul and Min
neapoiis have inst been having an
interesting and closely-contested
match, and the question has been
asked Us, during the past week, il
it would not be possible to get up a
match between Duluth and Supe-
rior? What do you say to it, We
editors of The Tribune, Minneso-
tian and Herald? Just agitate the
subject and see what can be done.
We have no doubt but what such a
match would prove interesting and
pleasant to ths people on both sides
of the bay, and should a match be
decided on, by the time the pre-
liminaries could be arranged, the ice
will undoubtedly be out Of the bay,
so that communication between the
two places will be both easy and
pleasant. THE TINES, of course,
does not pretend that our superior"
spoilers could cope with your "Ze-

of the opinion that they could make
it interesting for them, aud hence,
we say let us have a polling match

There are one or two names we
have omitted from the above, hay
ing neglected TO make a note of the
words they went down on.
II will be seen by the above that
captain" Perry was the last one
up on his own side, while those up
last on Miss Lou Prrry's de, were
Mr.. Hayes, Miss Belle Calverly and
Miss Franc. Greeley.
For long time it was a close
contest between the last-namad four.
but finally the ''spelI" was broken
by Judge Perry's succumbing to
"Klepht," while the three on the
opposite side Immediately followed
on the next word given out, VIZ:
"OphicIeide," much to the relief OF
the audience, who had by this time
become pretty restless, it then be-
ing near eleven O'Clock.
Previous to the giving out Of the
word Ophicleide, the rule of not
giving out misspelled word until
ten other words had been spelled,
had been strictly adhered to, but in
this case, and under the existing
cirC umstances, il was deemed best
to pass the word along, and hence,
none OF them being able to spell it,
the match was declared draw. as
no one could fairly be called the
victor.
The spelling being now done
with, after electing, for the next
meeting, the same gentlemen to the
positions of chairman, referee and
enunciator, and DR.. Latitte and
Geo. W. Howard as captains, the
meeting adjourned until next Mon
day evening, to meet again at the
Presbyterian Church aud TO have
the same admission fee, viz: ten
cents.
TIE receipts IL nia, evening
last were something over ten dollars.

Wm. Trainings

New stock of spring and summer clothing has
just come to hand, and in point of quality and
price cannot be eXceled by any other in the
city. Mr.. TRADING is a dc,ler in clothing of
many years experience, and knows exactly
where to buy good article at the lowest prices.
Persons wishing to buy new suits at q reasona-
BILE figure should therefore in no case fail to call
on Mr.. Trabng before purchasing and test the
quality of his goods.
His stock includes a choice selection for
children and youths, which indeed eXcels any
other of the kind we have yet seen.
Nor should it be forgotten that Mr.. 1rabing is
one of the best cutters IN the west, and can
therefore, in his large custom department, cut,
iii and make up clothing to order much cheap
er than those establishments that are compelled
to hire cutters at large salary, as Mr.. I. makes
no account of his extra services in that line.
Persons desiring suits made to order will thus
see that they can do no better than to give Mr..
Trading call.

HOME MATTERS.
The Plumbing Ant.

Mr.. George Burgess, our popular plumber anC
gas filter, has been making such improvement
in his stock and means of meeting demands il
his line as to deserve paragraph in common
dation.
In the first place, ii has been difficulty with
our artesan wells hitherto, us all of them contain
more or less sulphur gas, that the gas has haC
such wasting effect on the iron pipes in use as moi
only rapidly to destroy them, but also to deter
crate the water by strongly impregnating it with
iron oxides. Galvanized pipe had hitherto beer
found to overcome the difficulty for time, but
is not sufficiently lasting. MIR. Burgess has
succeeded in finding perfect remedy for the
difficulty in the " Patent Royal Enamel Pipe,
manufactured by Redfeld Bowen x Co.. Chica-
go This pipe costs no more than the galvaniz-
ed, yet will resist perfectly the corroding action
of sulphur or any known acid apparently for all
time. 1t is the only pipe yet found that can be
relied upon for coils used in vinegar and strong
acids by the pickle establishments of the coun-
try.
Again crying want of our gas consumers
has been n reliable, economical burner The
ordinary burners consume from to 10 feet per
hour, and adding to this the waste when not
lighted, our gas consumers find their bills really
frightfu. Mr.. Burgess has secured the sole
agency of the famous Spaulding burner, which
he promises all persons who will use it shall re-
duce their gas bills one-half if they will see that
hpir nj in
that their consumption Of gas is through the
burners only
Another important and scasonabe article we
notice at Mr.. Burgess establishment on La Sale
street is n lawn sprinkler. The ordinary rose
attached to coil of hose requires the constant
attention of man to keep it in motion to ac-
complish anything, while this sprinkler may be
set down anywhere and will evenly sprinkle
surface fifteen or twenty feet in diameter,
This, with Mr.. BIS numerous new devices for
equipping and ornamenting fountains, well de-
serves special examination.
Rebronzing and furnishing up gas fixtures so
that they look better than new, are also at pres
ent attractive features in Mr.. b. special line.
Indeed there are dozen of ways in which
housekeepers just now find him maryelously
handy, and whatever their trouble may be,
whether as to gas fixtures water fixtures, pumps,
wells, leaky roofs, smoky chimneys, fractured
crockery or decrepid bedsteads, we know of no
CESS.

Hearing so much about the mar goats at Low 5
millinery and fancy goods establishment, we
called to see for ourselves if they were "pannng
out" us richly as represented by some of our lady
friends, and we must confess that we were most
agrceably surprised by the "posy garden" there
displayed, never before having seen such tru-
ly elegant display Of Flowers, and the great va
riety in new styles of hats and bonnets is truly
stunning" We assure the ladies that they can
be suited at Lows if variety, richness of texture,
style and price are, as they msst be, 4 desirable
consideration. We We're shown the Genaiae

ted.

purching goods in the millinery line enables him
to defy competition. We desire the ladies to call
and examine this splendid stock before purchas-
inr elsewhere.
