CRCQUET AND New MODES or PLAY
ING rr.-The season of crOquet is now at
its height. and nearly every fine evening
the grounds connected with quite a num-
Der of residences in the city and on the
Island are to be seen number of young
lady and gentlemen players.
A late innovation is running white
cord around the ground on pegs to mark
the boundary line. If, when taken GRO
Duet, ball is sent outside the lines, it is
dead, and the player looses the remain
der of his turn. The object of this Is to
prevent the hard stroke which enables
players to go any pace after balls lying
safe at the extremity of the ground.
With this new rule the player going after
balls at a distance is compelled to judge
the strength of his stroke. If he plays
too hard and goes OF he loses his turn,
and if he does not play hard enough he
will make an uncertain shot. 1t is the
same playing for a hoop after u roquet.
The dead boundary rule gives the player
who is outa better chance to get in than
in the game rs usually played.
The latest mode of setting the hoops
is to place them so that no hoop shall be
less than eight yards from the boundary,
and each player is compelled to run the
middle hoop four times. A late varia-
ton Of the game is t. have two-four ball
games, one set starting from each end Of
the lawn. II ball belonging to the
other set is in the way it may be taken
up and replaced. By y rule just adopted
at starting the players ball is to be
placed one foot from the first hoop and
opposite its centre, instead OF II mallrt )
length, n formerly. The object is 10
make the first hoop certainty, and 80 10
bring all the balls into play AT once. |:
the first hoop Is missed the ball l. not
taken up, but remains where It lies, and
Is liable TO be made use Of By the other
balls, whether they have run the first
hoop or not This puts the player ut the
first stroke of his first turn in precisely
the same relation to all the balls as he Is
ut the commencement Of all subsequent
turns. Thus, Il player may ut his first
turn play either FOR u hoop or roquct.
Formerly he had to run the first hoop
before playing for n roquet; now he may
play for a roquet before taking any hoop.
Striking balls tight is abolished, but peg
plng out Is retained. 1t is sore point,
especially with ladies, when about to go
out, to have ones plans spoit by All adj
verSary who knocks you outside the
boundary, but this is the chances OF war
and makes the game more interesting.

The citizens of Bridgeport are incensed

river by jumping over the fence, and
there in broad daylight and without fear
of God or man, and exposed to the view
of every inhabitant from the bridge up

which the authorities of Wheeling can

possible for the managers of pic-nics TO

A contributor to Iron notes two incidents
of recent occurrence, which. in his opinion,
indicate that some mysterious" fires may
have their origin in the action of the sun
on glass. A few days ago the master of .
steam tug in English waters found large
hole had been burned in the centre Of the
covering of his berth, and that the fire had
penetrated to the bed itself, which was
smoking. II was then discovered that this
resulted from q concentration of the SUMS
rays by the glass dead lights" in the eide
of the vessel. The grounds of new man.
sion in q British town are entered through
gates richly gilt and 0rnamented. To pro-
tect them temporarily they were covered
with car vas. One afternoon lately this
covering was found to be on fire and was
burned, enc of the lamps a0ove beng
broken BY the heat. All ordinary theories
of the causes of fire tailed to account for
this one, and it was discovered that the
globular lamps Of the gate concentrated the
solar rays and directed them on the spot
where the canvas had been, and thus doubt
lees oceasioned the fire.

Cable dispa, ches yesterday brought intel
!igence tina. the insurgents in Herzegovina
had been defeated by the Turkish troops,
but the meager character of the news rem
ders it impossible to form an accurate idea
of the situatiOn. Soon after the Herzego-
vinans rebelled against the heavy taxes i'm
posed by the Turks, they we're joined by the
people of Montenegro and Servia. and it
was generally believed the people Of Bosnia
and CrOmatia would soon unite with them
All of these portions Of Turkey pay annual
population of about l0O, 900. pays tribute
OF $4,000 Servia. with warlike and Wig.
orous population of 2222 900, pays tribute
OF 81 ,OOO.0 900. The other provinces paw sim
liar tributes. A majority of the people of
each of them are OF SlavOnic origin, and
profess the Greek religion. The children of
the wealthier classes are educated in Ger
many, France, England and Russia, and
have no sympathy whatever with the Mos
lem. There is q close affinity between
them and the Poles and HaDgarians, and
strong desire to attach themselves to Aus
tri has been known to prevail among them
for years. MOldavia and Wallachia, two
provinces that were formerly under Turkey,
but which have for some years been inde-
pendent, have inspired other Turkish pro-
vinces with aspirations of independence.
There is in fact . revolutionary sentiment
among all these provinces. Our dispatches
this morning state that several bodies of
troops from Montenegro have crossed into
Herzegovina to aid the insurgents, in spite
of the efforts Of the Porte to prevent them.
This could only have been done as the re-
suit of . powerful movement. It is very
likely that it had the consent of the Car
Of. Russia. If the movement should ripen
INTO . general revolt and terminate with
the independence Of these provinces it
would efectually destroy the influence of
Turkey in Europe, and reduce that country

PACPERfSM AND CRIME.

Based upon this exhibit the lecturer
| claimed that the morals and self sustaining 2
! power OF the cOlOred race equal that of the
| native whites, and exceed that of the for
eign population in both particulars.
He also presented comparative statistics
as to the health Of the white and colured
racer, in which the blind were against the
latter people, but the statistics OF deaf and
dumb, insane and idiotic. were in their
favor
The last census showed s6l ,f64 colored
militia between the ages Of eighteen and
forty-fiye, and ,032,475 votes, the latter
constituting q majority in Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, Florida and South Carolina, and
holding the balance Of power in Alabama,
Tennessee, North Caroline, Georgia and
Arkansas. and in cases of close contest in
Missouri, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsy lvania, New
York, New Jersey and Indiana.
All these summarize, based ON the statis-
tical data furnished, the speaker argued, es.
tablished abundantly the Importance of the
cOlored race as constituent element of the
nation, whose influence on the body polite
will be potent for good or for evil.
The progress made by the colored children
since their freedom and admission to the
public schools proves the race apt and
ready to learn.
AS laborers the colored people have been
frugal and industrious, seeking to acquire
homes and education for their children.
Free, they have not been licentious. In
many States powerful, they have not been
oppressors.
Before concluding, the speaker put in
strong plea for the Republican party in
Ohio, urging every colored man and friend
OF the colOred man to do his duty and vote
the Republican ticket He believed that
Republican majority of 25 600 or $4,000 in
Ohio this fall will save hundreds of thou
sands OF colOred lives in the South next
summer. The madcap leaders IN the South
now thought that the North had gone back
on the negro, and that now they can trample
upon laws, constitutions and peoples with
impunity.
