A Ouestioo of Ownership,

A peculiar case will be heard before Squire
Bartolette to morrow evening, for the pur-
pose of proving the ownership of pair OF
eymbals. 1t appears THAI a man named
Duncan, formerly PLAYED the fife and Gym
balls in the old NJ. Vernon Band, but has
failed to put in an appearance at rehearsals
f the past six m ntis. In the meantime
the colored bands mere merged into the
Harmony Cornet Band. A few days ago
Duncan made his appearance at rehearsal,
previous to the day for the bands departure
ON an excursion to Reading, and attempted
to play his old instruments. To this the
other members of the band objected, saying
that he had forfeited his right OF member
ship by his continued absel ee, and that
another man had been secured to play the
mbals and fife. Duncan then deliberately
took the cymbals and walked out with them.
Hence the suit of the band who claim that
no member has right to an instrument
unless he has paid for 1t himself while Dun
can, who has retained Austin Harrington
Esq. as counsel, claims that as member
of the organization the cymbals are his by

ANOTHER GOOD GAME.
READING AcTIvEs BEATEN BY
FOUR TO TWO.
KEEPING UP THEIR GOOD WORK
An Interesting Game at Quickstep Park
in which the Home Club Again show
Up to Good Advantage.

Six hundred people assembled at Quick
step Park yesterday afternoon and saw the
Quicksteps, for the sixth time this season,
make the Reading Actives bite the dust.
The game was close and exciting, and
though the visitors did some loose playing
the home club won by virtue of superior
work, b, tn in the field and at the bat.
Pyle and Geary formed the Quicksteps'
battery, and were invincible. Geary played
without an error and threw two men out at
second so cleverly that no other attempt
was made to steal the base on him. Pyle
pitched well, and though he was batted
quite freely, the excellent work of the field
ers kept the score down. TIE bases were
never better covered. Snyder was like a
stone wall, while Smiley accepted every
chance at second and Fox covered
third in really brilliant style. His one
error of dropped foul fly was
amply atoned for by the rest of his work and
in addition to making some beautiful stops
and throws he took two hot liner flies when
to have dropped them would have added
runs to the visitors score. Albert had a
tumble and misjudged fly charged against
him at short, but In other respects he played
well. Waitt, Cusick and Benners each had
pu. outs In the outfield, though at one time
Cusick missed chance by not seeing high
fly that fell only few feet from him.
At the bat Cusick carried off the honors
for the home club, getting in a couple of
two-baggers, both of which yielded a run.
Waitt made the best hit of the day In heavy
drive to left field for three
bases Smiley and Fox hit hard,
but went out on the fly, while Benners made
a two-baser and Fox, Albert and Geary are
credited with good singles. Pyle made a
sacrifice hit at good time, bringing Albert
In from third although he went out at first.
The Quicksteps made seven base hits with a
total of twelve.
For the visitors every man made base
hit excepting ReyI olds, and he reached first
on an error. Morris made two baser and
Hoover two singles. Altogether they made
nine base hits with total of ten. Notwith-
standing this good batting, however, the
close fielding of the Quicksteps prevented
them from scoring. They made their two
runs In the sixth inning, on hits by Moore,
Morris, Hoover and Carroll.
The game was played very sharply, occu-
pying only one hour and twenty-five minutes
The full score is as follows

toward the depot restaurant, which they en-

ever, before the train began to move on. No

restaurant towards the train, and at the risk
of her life, the foremost one succet ded In
boarding the train while the other made
frantic efforts to catch hold of the railing

hands were full of small packages SO that
her efforts were in vain and she was left

0GpENsBURG, y, July Is The rue
to-day between Ross aud ilanlan WAS sim
ply "a procession. The men started 1T I
O'Clock, Hanlan getting Il boat length the
best of the send off The lead thus obtained
was never once relaxed, aud the gain was
gradual until at The turn the Torontonan
was twenty lengths ahead. The race was
decidedly tame and uninteresting at the
finish. Hanlan had flushed when his an.
tagonist was starting in on the last quarter
mile. From the outset Ross labcred heavily:
his rigging was awkward, his seat being al
together too high. Every forward motion
was marked by an almost complete stop
page o his boat. Before he had completed
his first quarter his efforts were almost pain
lul. Each stroke was characterized by graf
ing of his teeth and clumsy work.
On the other hand Hanlan rowed mag
efficiently. His motions were close cut
steady and powerful Although he played
his usual antics of resting, mopping out his
boat, ETC., his finish was over 20 seconds
better than the record. Probably 10 900
people viewed the race from the shore, and
dozens of steamers crowded about the
course. The enthusiasm was vigorously ex-
pressed by whistles and shouts.
As the oarsmen came in procession down
the finish the seuler Lee rowed down from
the turn Immediately behind Ross, and as
his colors were similar to Hanlan's, the
crowd took him for the champion and yelled
with delight at Ross supposed triumph
Many wagers were paid on the supposition
that Ross had won and the greatest excite
lnent prevailed. Lees action was emphati-
eally condemned. There is great discrep-
ancy in the time given. Officially, it is,
Hanlan 27.5715; Ross, 2S.45. Others on the
referees boat made Hanlan "a. .0S, Ross 28. 10.
Courtney's watch showed Hanlan to have
rowed the distance in 27029l.

TAILoRs At THE RAT.

One OF the most laughable games of ball
that has been played in this city was that
between the tailors connect, with the
clothing establishments of j. w. Diefendorf
& Co. and j. T. Mullen g. Son, at the
Schuetzen Park yesterday afternoon Out
of the 18 players only five knew anything
about the game, while at least five had
never attempted anthing of the kind before
The Diefendorf nine was captained by Mel
son R. Bertolette, while their opponents
were under command of j. Moore. But
the men had little respect for the commad
of their captains and chased the ball around
the field at their own sweet will. Base hits
were scarce and fly catches were al most
totally unknown while errors and falls on
part oil the players were innumerable. The
beauty of the game was the ability of the
players to account for all errol S, without
the slightest Inconvenience of the game
The ball was invariably well felded
| for when Moore of the Mullen nine
sent a long ball to left field six of the Deifen-
dorf men started for it, while the runner
made home run One player OF the
Deiiendorf nine was named the Mascot,
/ his first name being John, the last
name unknown by any on the field. He
| toak things very cool having never had bat
| In his hand before. When his turn at the
| bat came 1t took four men several minutes
| to place him In the right position, as John
insisted In standing about four feet away
from the plate and on the wrong side. He
could not speak English, SO when he would
strike at the three first balls they would all
| yell esspring," which is sevidently the German
for run, and away John would go, At first
| base man would be sta ioned to head him
| off, otherwise he would keep going all
around the bases without stopping and when
| he reached home he would smile serenely
and go over to clump OF trees about 10C
Yards away and lay down. He would then
be forgotten until the side was out or 1t was
his bat, when every one would yell "John''
for few minutes, when he would make
his appearance again with the usual smile
Clements played remarkable game with
his feet, while Higgins of the same nine
surprised the audience by making a long
slide on his ear to reach third base while thu
ball was beirg chased by the third basemal
about 20 yards away. Thorp and Gaugf
were the battery for the Diefendori's, while
Moore and Mullen composed the battery o
| the Mullen nine The game was called a
the ending OF the seventh inning owing Il
the darkness, and was impartially umpiret
by E. II. Cook, manager of the GAZETTE
The success of the Diefendorf nine is attrl
buted to the old shoe which was fired afte
, the wagon by one of the pantaloon maker
when the hack left the store. The score b
: innings is as follows:
t Diefendorf Is l 2 Ks

Time of game three hours. The summar
is omitted owing to the inability of the score
to mark the errors and determin the earhe

An Interesting Patent Suit.

An interesting case, involving a very
| ingenious and economical device, has Just
been decided by the courts, the particulars
of which will bear mention. Nelson Lyon,
of Albany, \. Y, has recovered judgment
| of SO, H1.10, besides costs and interest
against G.. T. Fisher & Co., in the United
| States Circuit Court, at Detroit, Mich. :,
| for an infringement of what is known to the
| trade as Lyons Patent Metallic Heel Stiffen-
err. This ccntrivance is one Of the most Use
! full of modern inventions, and has achieved
remarkable sale-over three-quarters of a
million dollars worth, the testimony in the
present suit showed, having been disposed
of since the patent was granted, being 4
| grand total of 215, 47S pounds. or 1888, 900
pairs. The invention consists Of neat metal
plate fastening to the outside of boot or
| shoe heel, and 80 arranged as to prevent the
counters from breaking over and the heel
from wearing down unevenly. 1t is q simple
but very ingenious device, and SO de-
sirable on the score of comfort and economy
that infringements were boldly made. At
one time the Attorney General Of the United
States declared the Lyon patent invalid,
simply on account OF an Informality in the
application, but this was afterward corrected
by the Commissioner OF Patents. in accord
ance with a special act of Congress authoriZ-
ing such correction. Fisher main improve
ment consisted in elongating the screw-hole
fastening the plate, and, as defendants, they
based their main defence in trying to show
the special act of Congress was unconstitu-
tional and that plaintiffs invention was not
new. Action was commenced in May, 1880,
q perpetual Injunction was obtained i'll De-
cember following, and the case was re-
ferred to master to ascertain the profits
made by defendants and the loss sustained
by Dir. Lyon. The master reported the
sum as s., 1874, but OH motion the court
doubled the same and directed judgment to
be entered against defendants for such
double damages, with interest from the date
of the msstar,s renOrt and costs

ton to the necessity Of protecting by suit
able legislation the forests situated upon the
public domain. In many portions of the
west the pursuit of general agriculture Is
only made practicable by the resort to irri-
gation, while such useful irrigation would
be impossible without the aid afforded by
the forests in contributing to the regularity
and constancy of such supply Of water.
During the past year severe suffering and
great loss Of property have been occasioned
by profuse floods, followed by periods of
unusually low water in many Of the great
rivers Of the country. These Irregularities
are caused by the removal from about the
sources of the streams in question, of the
timber by which the water supply has been
nourished and protected.

INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITIONS.

The industrial exhibitions which have
been held in the United States during the
resent year attracted attention in many
foreign countries where the announcement
of those enterprises had been made public
through foreign agencies Of the government.
The industrial exhibition at Boston, and the
southern exposition at Louisville were
largely attended by the exhibitors of foreign
countries, notwithstanding the absence of
any professional character in those under
takings. The centennial exposition to be
held next year at New Orleans In commemo-
ration of the century of the first shipment of
cotton from Il port of the United States,
bids fair with like gratifying success. I'm
der the act OF congress of the 10th Of Febru-

portant undertaking have already received
assurances of the lively interest which Is ex-
cited abroad.
