This calculation, which has to do with
only one association, or eight clubs (callcd
the League, is evidently too small Ii must
be too small.by at least $4,000 in the first
item, for one thing. The salaries paid to
base bal! players must average $500. One
gets Sl5OO or $1,000, another $1,000. Some
OF them get $1,000 season. Some of the
best editorial writers in New York do not
command more. The time has been when
even higher figure would have expressed
that average, but the law of demand and sup.
ply appears to he gradually equalizing
things even in base ball. Our correspon-
dent probably understands the aggregate
expenditures for the League the truth, very
likely, would be 100000 instead of Sljj,-
100
But even then that $1,000 represents
only one association. There are others. In
the association of which the Philadelphia
Athletic are members, the club Is said to
have expended-or, which is for our purpose
practically the same thing, its hackers have
expended for 1.-THE sum of $4,000, this
year, and yet il is said the club has cleared q
profit of $4,000 The surprising statement
becomes possible in the light Of such crowds
as that famous club has drawn in its cncoun-
tiers with other noted clubs in some of the
cities, $1,000 being in attendance, for exam
Pile To see one game at st. Louis represent
ing $4,000 for that one game, while gather
ings of 10000 have been noted in that and
other cities. Probably S250,000 would be
an underestimate of the total expenditures by
the associations and individuals that back up
the various professional mines In the three
associations Of 1888
But that large expenditure represents only
one side of the question. Ga the other side
the unknown sums that have been paid out
by the base bali loving public for the priv
ilege Of Witnessing the $40 games. That

the continuation of the clubs AMI the wide
spread public interest in the subject. II a
quarter of II million has been paid out in
Keeping up the clubs OF 1888, considerable
larger sum has been paid by the spectators of
the gaines. Six hundred thousand dollars
would perhaps not be an overestimate of the
total expenditures for base ball this year.
Besides the 302 League games, at fifty cents
admission, the clubs wind up the season with
n series of half-price exhibition games
The total expenditure no doub, exceeds

GOOD NEWS FROM TEXAS.

Mr.. Thomas A. Howard, Of Honey Grove
Fannin county, Texas, under date OF April 5
1888, writes as follows:
81 have been suffering during several years
from severe Illness, and a general break2ng
down OF my physical system, and have tried
the treatment and prescriptions OF many doc
tors far and near, and travelled to the Hot
Springs and other mineral springs famous for
their remedial qualities, drinking the waters
and bathing Systematically in their healing
depths, but all to no avail, as steadily failed
in health; and although informed by my
physicians that my ailments and weaknesses
were the result OF kidney disease OF danger
Gus character, they could give me nothing to
cure me. During the past two years my suffer-
ings at times were dreadful, and Ihad the most
indescrIbable pains in the regions about the
kidneys, the paroxysms Of which were so
severe as TO render 1t impossible for me TO
sleep. While in this deplorable and discour-
aged condition was persuaded to try Hunts
Remedy, and after using less than half bot
tie my great sufferings and paroxysms OF
pain were entirely relieved, and could sleep
better and longer than l had in two years
before, and although am now on my third
bottle only my Improvement is very remark
able, and l regret that did not know OF the
wonderful curative powers Of Hunts Remedy
before, as 1t would have saved me years Of
suffering. / heartily recommend 1t to all

hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts ofthe cases-backs, centers, bezelS,e
