The talent exhibited by the young men
composing these clubs, on this occasion,
is indeed remarkable, and should they
continue the practice of this most healthy

ere they will be fully prepared to Sue

1t may he well to state that the grounds
used on tins occasion was as old corn

and consequently i'll adapted for the

the members propose leveling off and
putting in thorough order this plat, when
we expect to again witness another test

The LATEST TREASURY RoBBEnY.-
Some three weeks ago apackagc sup
posed to contain Si2,0GG, was shipped
from the u. S Trcasurer's Office by Ad-
ans express to the Illinois National
Bank of Chicago. When the package
arrived MT the bank il was found to con.
tain nothing but blank paper. 1t is not
known where the robbery took place,
and the treasury officials refuse % make
public their suspicious or to talk about
tie robbery. The case has been placed
in the hands Of the secret service Off
GERS, who are working diligently TO Sc
cure the guilty person or persons. and
recover the money, but they also decline
to give their theory rs 10 how the rob
berry occurred. If the robbery was per-
petrated after the package left the
Treasury, it is held that the Adams ex-
press company is liable for the loss, and
they now have detectives actively at
work investigating the matter.
