BALL AND BAT.
The Gallant Reserpes Enploits Yesterday
Other Bali Notes.

The Gallant Reserpe's Erploits Yesterday
Other Bali Notes.
About two hundred persons assembled at
the Rodney Street Grounds yesterday to
witness the game of ball between the
Athletics, reserve nine, of Philadelphia,
and the Quickstep, amateurs, of this
city.
The game began promptly at 3 o'clock,
with the Quicksteps at the bat, who sue
ceeded in scoring four runs luring the first
inning.
Their opponents were blanked, Donnelly,
Hefenan and McGlinchey; each going out
in rapid succession. Stock opened the
second inning, and went out on q fly.
Evans followed, making his first. Clinch
then took the bat, made his second on
passed ball, and brought Evans home.
Talley, Lafferty, Kelly and Rifterts followed
in quick succession, each making second base
hits and doing some good running. The
best playing of the afternoon was doubtless
during this inning; double play was
made by McGlinchey, and eight runs by
the home club. 1t closed with one run for
the Athletics. The third inning was blank
for both clubs. After this the playing
which was poor at the start on the part Of
the Reserve nine failed to improve, making
the game uninteresting, and many left in
disgust. To bring such club here as
played the Amateurs yesterday afternoon,
was an ungra5etul return for the patronage
which has hitherto been extended them BY
the citizens of Wilmington, and should It
be often repeated the Amateur nine will
draw slim audiences.
The .Quicksteps were victorious, but
without any effort. The score at the ninth
inning was ~ tod.
The Archers play the Quicksteps this
afternoon.
The Wawaset and Lightfoot clubs played
match game yesterday and resulted in
favor of the former by score of % to IA.
The Quickstep, amateurs, will play the
Archers, Of Philadelphia, to-day. A good
game will be played as the Archers are the
crack amateurs.
THE GAME EXPLAINED.
Mr.. Manuel Richenberger requests us to
say that he made arrangements with AL.
Wright, manager of the Athletic, also Of
the reserve nine, who had so much busi-
ness with the Mutuals and Athletics clubs,
that it was impossible to attend to the game
yesterday as he should have done. Only
six of the original reserve nine were here,
the other three could not get here. The
ones who took their places were Meyers, of
the Professionals, Albridge and Colbert, of
the Peabody club, Baltimore. Mr.. Richen-
berger wishes 10 say that similar occur
renee will never happen again, and that he
is really exempt from all blame in the mat
ter.
He further states that the professionals
of this city, have said that the amateurs
are afraid to play them, but he wishes all to
know that the amateur club is ready and
willing to play them any time that they will
name. He says that he has sent them a
challenge and offered them all the induce
ments in his power to offer in legitimate
way; and has appointed committee of
three to wait upon Mr.. Mullen, manager
of the professionals, whose excuse was by
offering the amateurs $50 to play on the
old groundswhich was not accepted.

Does Bees Hearf

The question whether bees have the
power of hearing is the mOOted point
among naturalists. Sir John Lubbock
has tried experiments with his bees in
order to elucidate the matter. Thus he
has played the violin close to his bees,
he has tried dog-whistle, shrill pipe,
tuning fork, and shouting, but
no noise seemed to disturb them in the
least. Nevertheless, curious occur
renee took place a few days since at
Windsor. Colonel Stewart, command
ing officer Second Life Guards, reports
that a few days since, when the regi-
ment was returning down the Long
Walk from field day, a swarm of bees
attracted by the music followed the
regiment into barracks, flying about
over the heads of the band. On arriv-
ing at the barrack-yard the band form
ed up to play the regiment into barracks.
The bees followed their example, form
ing up also and settling on q branch of
a tree over the heads of the bandsmen.
They were at once taken prisoners by
the corporal of the guard, and are now
hived in the barrack-yard. The distance
over which the bees followed the band
was more than a mile. We have heard
of spelling bees, but these are musical
bees with vengence. 1t IS u
common practice in the country to col
lect bees by means of rattling warm
ing-pan with a piece of iron, or shak-
inc a stone in q tin kettle, and the idea
that bees will follow sound is as old as
Virgil.

The Ways Of Parisians.

A Partisan banker has the misfortune
to possess a wife who is addicted to
gambling. Year after she goes to
Monaco, and loses large sums on the
green cloth. Her husband has been at
his wits end to stop the evil without
resOTting to harsh measures. AT last a
happy thought struck him. Calling to
him q confidential clerk named Armand,
who was unknown to his wife, he gave
him instructions to follow the lady and
to attend daily at the gaming-table.
Armand was told to watch carefully the
way she staked her money, and always
to place a similar amount on the OppO-
site color. BY this means the banker
hoped that he would be able to ''hedge"
the sums staked by his wife, and the
only loss he could possibly experience
would be the general expenses incurred
by his clerk A short time elapsed,
and the husband received among his
correspondence one morning twO'let-
tiers from Monaco-one from his wife,
the other from Nj. Armand. Opening
the first he found bat two lines, but
those were to the point. The lady had
experienced loss of 10000 francs
and wrote for more money.
Turning to the next letter,
with some self-satisfaction at his own
shrewdness, he read as follows: "Kind
friend and patron: / have implicitly
followed your instructions, but | have
never worked so hard in my life.
Madame arrives at the Casino at mid
day and never leaves the table until
midnight. Twelve hours without eat
ing or drinking is no joke. However,

won $4,000 francs, and, as am not am
bilious, am content to stop there. L
start at once for Montguyon, charm
ing little town where l was born, and
where my cousin awaits me, to whom L
am about to be married. Knowing the
interest you take in my welfare, l shall
be indeed proud if you will be present
at the wedding. OF the 10000 francs
which you intrusted me with, there re-
mains II, ,341 fir. 20c., which remit you
in q bank check. The balance has
been expended in my hotel bill and
other incidental items. Yours, etc,

Two Hundred Bushels of CricketS.

InBull Run Valley, Nevada, the crick-
cts have played sad havoc with the
growing crops. The ugly pests attack
ed one wheat field of thirty acres, and
in an hour destroyed the whole crop,
eating the stalks off close to the ground,
and then marched on to other conquests.
Millions of crickets that have been killed
strew the ground for miles around,
while vast numbers found their way into
the streams, and have impaired most
disagreeable flavor to the water, render
ing it unfit for drinking.
A novel means of cleaning out crick-
cts is the sewing together of three gun
ny sacks, leaving small holes in the bot
tom one for the egress of water. This
large sack is attached to the end of a
sluice- box, placed so that the water will
run into it. The people then assemble,
armed with bells and bOughs, and with
a great noise drive the crickets into the
stream, which swiftly carries them down
through the sluice-boX into the bag, and
there they are speedily drowned. At
Painters ranch, few days ago, there
was a grand ''drive," the result being
seventy-fve sacks full, or about 225
bushels of crickets.-SGcrane1at0 Rec

The Real King Of Beasts

Many years ago Florentine gentle
man had mule so vicious that his
grooms and servants could hardly ap-
proach it without receiving a kick or a
bite. Its master, after employing in
vain every means to render it more
tractable, resolved to expose the crea-
ture to the wild beasts in the menagerie
of the Grand Duke. A lion was ac-
cordingly let loose, whose roaring would
have frightened any other animal; but
the mule wisely retired without show
ing any sign of fear to a corner of the
court, in which he could only be at
tackd from behind, where its greatest
strength lies, and there awaited the at
tack of its enemy, observing him all
the while from the corner of its eye,
and presenting its crupper. The lion,
sensible of the difficulty of the assault,
employed all his address to catch his
foe at disadvantage. At length the
mule found an opportunity to give him
so violent kick that nine or ten of his
teeth were broken, the fragments flying
in all directions. The king of beasts
acknowledged defeat and retreated to
his den, leaving the mule master of the
field.

An Old Tavern.

InAshford Center, Windham County,
Conn, there is Il tavern that has been
standing since the Revolution. It's on
the old turnpike road from New York
to Boston, which was much Travelled in
Revolutionary days. At that tavern the
Father of his Country himself once put
up, and, sitting in the bar-rOom waiting
for dinner, he is said to have cut his
name with q diamond ring on a pane of
glass in one of the windows. What
truth there is in the story that Wash
ingtOn cut his name the writer could
not ascertain, for there is no pretepsion
that any one living about there now was
a witness of the act; but it certainly
was cut by somebody, and the pane of
glass that bears the inscription is care
fully preserved in the old tavern as a
precious relic, and as claim upon
public patronage and Immortality. The
window was taken out long ago, but
this particular pane of glass was saved.
The tavern itself contains in some of
its old beams indications of its high
age, but in the main it has been remOd-
eied, repaired, altered, enlarged and
improved, replastered, whitewashed
and painted, until, like the knife which
got a new handle and then a new blade,
it is question which is the old tavern
and which is the new.
