A Successful Quail Eater.

Mr. Waicott came up smiling yesterday aft
ernoon to down his last brace of quails. His
Tres ,ened him. In reply to an inquiry as to
his condition he said IL feel as well as when
l started in, and don't know but better"
Among the spectators in the crowd on the
porch were DrS. Alsdorf and Nivson, of West
Forty-second street. DR.. Alsdorf said that he
came to be in at the death, and Dr. Niwison
remarked that it was his third visit to an APP
parently healthy patient. MIR. BunnelL of mu-
scum fame, held the watch ab on Mr.: Walcotts
the bones of bird ffty-nine in three minutes
thirty seconds, and bird sixty in three min
onds total time. This finished the thirty pairs
in thirty consecutive days, with an extra one
The match, according to Mr.. Csse. originated
in this wise: On January 4, three days before
Walcott began his task, a group of horsemen
appetites possessed by certain men. In the
course of the conversation MIR. James Moffat
remarked that he could produce man toat he
would back to eat a brace of euails a day for
thirty consecutive days. Mr.. Case said to Mr..
Mofrat: How much money will you put up on
II will bet $780, replied Mr. Mofrat.
:" will take that bet" said Mr.. Case. '.Name
NV s. Walcott is my man." :. t9t#
Then Gabe knew that he had dangerous
customer for Walcott had succeeded in eating
one quail a day for thirty days, on a wager in
and man named b. Troutman of Washington
were the only men known to have succeeded
1Cs
Troutman went through the ordeal in Feb
ruary. 1870 on a wager of $500 side.
A few days after Walcott began to eat the
birds, the bet between Messrs. Motfat and Case
was increased to $3.50 o SIDE Many outside
bets were made on even terms rs soon as the
affair tecame a matter of public ralk. Mr.
Wa,n3tt dsvourad his brace a day without any
apIs<ent trouble until January Il, two weeks
from the start. when Walcott came up to his
work decidedly unsteady and somcwhatdemor-
nli7ed Bets were then offered of 500 to $40
that he would not complete his task. His
hacker became disgusted, and $50 Walcott
saws advised him to give up the match A
gentleman who is said to have been financially
interested as well as having a friendly desire
t. see WalcOtt succeed, took hold of the quail
man, steadied him down to his work. and
coached him to a fral easy victory
During the last half of the match Mr.. Case
hedged so that he came out nearly even on his
bets. H"ai-- ! ~ =
The quail man seems to be the one who will
make the least out of the venture. Gabe said
that HI did not see how he coufd be expected
to give much. He had furnished the birds
and trimmings at considerable expense and
bad bet against the man in favor of the birds
aleott did rot look for anything from his
original hacker. He appeared rather dubious
when questioned as to where his profits came,
in He intimated that some who had bet on
him promised to remember him when they re-.
cefved their winnings.-N. Y. sun

flooded, and the water was in the second
story Of some of them. Nearly ten
miles of the river front of Cincinnati was
more or less under water. Along the land
ing the flood was up to the second and
third stories of many buildings. The gas
works were submerged, and there was only

Eaetlalse Frescoes.

The beautiful frescoing OF the walls of
the Farmers h Merchants Bank, Is an
object OF great admiration by the public.
The work has been done by Messrs.
Schroeder Bros, ll9 8. Spring street, in a
most capital and artistic manner. When
IL is known that the work had to be all
done In eight days, It Is wonder that it
was done SO we'll. The frescoing Is done
in Eastlake style, and is fine exhibition
OF the talent Of the Messrs. Schroeder.
1t must also be considered that IN
building like that of this banking house,
IL Is not possible for fresco artist to
elaborate any large and striking per-
speciive designs, but he has to content
himself with but little perspective, which
must be heightened by intensity OF col
ors. and their delicate combinations, in
order TO produce the most pleasing emo
tions. This result has been happily ac-
complished by these excellent artists,
aud the work stands monument OF
their good Judgment and taste. nl-lm
