A MOUTH FOR PIE

stand back for any sort of sport, but are
always ready to make idle hours 60 lightly
and laughingly by.
This propensity was put to q novel test
yesterday, at Sichers' hotel, but 1t resulted
rather seriously 10 one Of the dramatis
persona. The stOreroom and Office was
crowded with drummers and natives, each
fun of some sort While they were crack
ing their jokes q pan of 20x40 inches in
size was brought in, on which was an
apple cake, covering the entire area of the
pan, and weighing seven pounds.
A well-known business man OF this city
remarked to adrummer from Philadelphia,
who goes by the name of the
Great American Pie Eater, that he would
bet him, the &. q. p. e.. that he could not
eat all Of that cake al one sitting. The
Philadelphia at once took up the wager,
took off his coat, threw open his vest, IN
buttoned his pants, unhinged his jaws, put
up the money and sailed into that cake
with the snap OF hungry dog, battling
with buckwheat cakes.
The crowd stood around in amazement

cake. Before him it melted like snow
would before an August sun, while his alb
dominal cavity began TO slowly swell like

But human calculations sometimes fail,

as-you-please heat there was q sudden col
lapse Just about the time the halfway post
was reached The drnmmer's jaws were
all right, but his internal improvements
declined further sfufing and the sponge
Was thrown up. The cake would have

Suddenly the s. .. Pc. left the room,
struck out towards the park, with his hand

pot.

Well Done.

Owing to the illness of Sheriff Conner,
his chief deputy. Henry Finch, acted as
high sheriff during the session of the GRIM
inal court, last week. and it is just to say
that he gave entire satisfaction to the court,
lawyers, and all who had business there.
He was prompt and courteous in the dis
charge Of his many and complex duties,
and ran his part of the session with ease
and facility. Mr.. Finch has shown that he
has all the qualities of a first-class officer,
and if he should ever seek the suffrsges OF
the people of this county for the Office OF
sheriff, he would have the best of recon-
mendations to back him in the race.

Out at the Rink.

A very large crowd of merry people went
out to the rink, last night. to enjoy the
sport Of skating on the rollers. The very
best element Of society was there in full
attendance and the evening was q de-
light to all. To give the
names of those present would
merely be repetition, sorter like parrot,
and for once they are omitted. The band
was present and added greatly to the
pleasures Of the OCCASION.

but when the officer returned to the corner
