The examination Of witnesses was chiefly
In the hands OF Judge Crump Tor the defend
ants, and in Judge Ould's for the plaintiffs.
Numerous depositions taken for the for
mer trial and used for this were read. Many
records, letters, exhibits, deeds. and other
papers, were submitted. The trial, though
lasting two weeks, rarely became tedious.
The great lawyers engaged in the case by
their spicy assertions and rcpartees pre-

The case was opened IN argument for the

that it was very fine and forcible speech.
James Alfred Jones, Esq.,--precise, clear,
calm, and logical, as always-folIowed in o
splendid exposition of the merits Of his
side. Judge Crump came next, making one
OF tue grandest efforts OF his life. He was
eloquent in appeal. satirical. or humorous,
| Just as was needed-argumentative all the
time. Judge Robert Ould came last, and
his speech was one OF extraordinary power
and eloquencc, holding fixed the attention
OF the Judge, jury, and spectators for about
two hours Friday and from 10 to q o'clock
Saturday.

The cold-water motor in use to operate the
coffee mill at the grocery IN Madden's block
has attracted much attention from the public,
and deserves particular description now that
il has proved its value In some appreciable
degree. The engine Is of about one horse
power, and consists of round box not larger
than one of the round paper-collar box, and
OF the same shape, in which an eighth.inch
stream OF water plays in two sets OF cups al
ternately, the movement being entirely like
that Of steam engine; then between two
standards, piston and cylinder, farming q
wheel which is connected by belt with the
fy-wheel OF the cofiee-mill; and near the
drum Is copper alr-retort. The only thing
required TO set the engine in operation is 10
let on the water from the pipe and it is more
than equal TO any demands IN the way OF
coffee-grindlng that can be imposed upon It.
This engine is only made, so far, of the one.
horse and two.hOrse size, but the casti3gs are
already out Tor an Lighthouse power. One
engine of the size IN the Boston grocery Is
now running great number of sewing ma
chimes in large agency in Albany, and il is
intended 10 put on the market a minute en-
CINE, that might be carried in an oyercoat
pocket, for the purpose of running single
sewing machines in families; these would be
about one thiTtysecond horse power The
reality OF the merit of this invention secrls
incontestible and its simplicity is nothing
short of wonderful. 1t seems marvellous thai

which the players take their places as indi.
Gated by the letters The players, six ia

and blues, and HlahddriR0 or pitcher Is add
ed, whose sole Quty Is TO deliver the ball to
the striker. The striker stands at A, and
runs toward |, the mdRdartH0. He whirls his

send the ball back again on the fly, or on the
tirstbound, the opposite side score point.
If, on the other hand, the fielding party
knocks the ball back to the batters side and
il be not returned on the Fly or first bound
the fielders score point. The contest con-
sists Of series OF games, each numbering
four points, the sides alternating at the bat.
AS soon as one side fails to return the ball,
under the conditions named, the game is lost
by the side so failing. The contest yesterday
exhibited some very fine playing, which was
uproarioGsly appreciated by the Italians in
tie audience. The Americans were not so
enthusiastic, and they will never rank pallone
among their favorite sports unless by long
familiarity they cultivate a love for the game
Like hand-ball, the game requires excessive
exercise, and lis pursuit is altogether too ar
duous for recreative purposes, at least on sui
try days. Pallone Is quite exciting to be
sure, but 1t has fewer elements contributing
to its interest than base. ball. AS in all popu
lar games it has many fine points of play that
can hardly be described, and would not be
appreciated by those who did not thoroughly
understand the game. Yesterdays contest
was merely a practice game, to which only
invited spectators were admitted. The first
public game Will be played tomorrow. There
is.much curiosity TO see this snew game of
which Americans have known little, and as
it will be played by men who are known
throughout Italy rs expert pallone players,
the attraction is doubtless strong enough to
draw a large cruwd.-Cor. Chicago Times.

The PLAY of Pallone.

Early this spring the Italians of this city
VINO remember with lond regret the few dis
tnctive athletic sports of their native country

which, like baseball in America and hand
Dali in Ireland, is the national outdoor sport
OF Italy. That country Of genial skies and
indolent ycomanry boasts its clubs of protes.
s.Onal pailone players, who go from town t.
town, after the manner Of our heroes of the
ball and bat, coming a living by exhibitions
Of their superiority in one Of the most popu.
lar games of Italy. The game of pallone is,
with few notifications, almost as old as
Roman civilization, and was a favorite diver.
sion among the yOutl Vi Rome long before
the dawn of the Christian era It's antiquity
therefore bespeaks the genuine merit O. the
game, and the undying attractions 1t has fer
Italian lovers Of sports.
lhe Pall0ne cluO vi tllls city thought the
game worthy Of general introduction, and in
their patriGtic desire 20 add an Italian amuse.
plent TO the games OF America, they hired six
OF the best pallone players in Italy, all Of
them splendid athletes picked from the pro-
iesslonals of the country. Through the skill
and athletic ability Of these men, they hoped
TO show the game in It's best form, ana 70 ia.
vorably impress Americans with Ne merits.
The players arrived from Italy last week.
II they meet with sufficient encouragement

games in the leading c!.!!ts C. n Country,
and Young America vii! have an excellent,
opportunity, If he pleases, to add another
game TO his list Of outdoor sports. The play.
