When Hanlan consented to row it was
with the understanding that the starters

Hamilton Busby, editor of the Turf Field

of the Point of Pines race recently, says:
"Hanlan rowed over regularly surveyed
course OF three miles and made the dis.
tance in nineteen minutes and four Sec
onds. AS the champion was among the
first to express the belief that the Point Of
Pines was short, We naturally hesitate
about accepting 10 min. sec. as the record
for three mile, with turn, single scull
race. And yet all the forms which shape
the record are gone through with. The de.
cisien of the referee on disputed point, in.

the DvpE DRUMMER.


the West.B0 und Train at Grafton.
Special Dispatch to the Register.
GRAFTON, June 3o.-A little episode in
connection with one who evidently con-
sidered himself q somewhat on the-mash
young man, occurred on the west bound
train which passed through this place TO-.
night. The thing wore mems apparel, but
exhibited no other indication of manhood.
The car was crowded with passengers, near
ly all of whom were engaged in looking out
upon the passing country. Seated IN the
rear Of the coach were
Two Young and Pretty Ladies',
who, with no tho ught Of being objests OF
surveillance, were enjoying themselves as
only the happy, free-from-care maideHs
can. Occupying seat little forward and
on the opposite side of the car, was an in
dividual, evidently swell drummer.
He wore an elongated plug hat, with very
narrow brim. He had on q Prince Albert
coat, buttoned from throat to waist, pos.
sibly to display his slender waist to better
advantage, For long time he vainly at.
tempted, from where he sat, to attract the
attention of the two fair passengers. AS
last resort he rose and languishingly saun.
tered past the seat to the door. Then he
sauntered back again.
The Plug Hat
rested jauntily Just over the left ear. A
blonde mustache rested dainty upon his
upper lip. His movements we're disgust
ing TO any man who possesses the instincts
of tine gentleman, but his subsequent con-
duct was such as to render him an object
of pity. AS he passed the seat on the re-
turn he dropped his card into the lap OF
the young lady who occupied the aisle end.
Then he passed on and sat down. The
maiden so insulted first looked up to see
whence came the missive, and, then,
with
An Indignant Blush Mantling Her
Cheeks.
cast down her eyes. On the card was the
name, "Mr. L. II. Hathaway and the ad-
dress Mcclure House, Wheeling, written in
a scrawlingl hand. On the back of the card
was the written message: Would be
pleased to know your address"
Soon after a gentleman acquaintance ap-
preached the ladies, and noticing their
subdued air. asked them the meaning. By
their actions and what he had previously
noticed, he was satisfied that the wearer Of
the plug hat was responsible for the trouble.
Finally the card was secured and, stepping
across the aisle, the gentleman asked the
fellow if the card was his. lie looked up,
then glanced at
The Pasteboard.
and stammered mo"
Look again" said the inquisitor.
He was uneasy, and said that the card
had fallen from his pocket accidentally,
and acted cowardly, which is usual with
such characters, and that was all that saved
him from the severe drubbing he so richly
desefyed. His card was returned and no
more was heard from him.
[NorE-The register at the Mcclure House
this morning failed to show any such name,
but then mashes always do give fictitious
