CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.-With the games of
yesterday the championship season of 1883
came to an end, and with it closed season
of interest nparaIleled in the history OF base
ball. AS the result of the spirited rivalry
which has been carried on between the
twenty four clubs of the three associations,
the championship of the national
league is secured by Boston,
and that of the American
association by the Athletics Of Philadel-
phia, and that of the northwestern league
by the Toledo club. The failure of the
Chicago team to retain for 1884 the cham
pionshiP which it has held for three sue
cessive seasons, beginning with 1850, has
created yast amount of disappointment
among the clubs admirers and hackers,
who, pinnipg their faith to that uncertain
quantity commonly called Chicago luck"
have till the very last refused to believe it
possible that the champions could bs beat
en- in the race.

Confession of an Adventllrer.
from the Providence Press.

Apropos of the Chevalier Paraf, that
prince of adventures, whose successful
career in Providence was tho genera!
theme Of conversation, sarcastic Us well
as facetious, among the Quidnunes q
number of years ago, the following story
is told by well-known gentleman who
was acquainted with the clever French.
man during the period of his campaign in
this city. The gentleman happened to
be in Paris four years ago, and i'll COM
pany with party of friends dropped in
at the pretty artificial garden on the Av'
enue Monta;ne, 50 we'll known to the
average American tourist as La Mabille.
The fine orchestra was discoursing 3
lively Strauss waltz; the gayly.dressed
promenaders were circling the great
CEN raj pavilion; the seats in the shady
hooks and of the cafe were filled with
the treouenters of this peculiarly Paris
ian institution, AMI, as was the cAse on
any fine evening of the season, a certain
phase of life was laid bare to the gaze of
the philosopher as wei! as of the pleas
ure.loving citizen of the world who
CHANGED to be within.
In the course of the evening the Prov,
idence gentleman recognized amid the
constantly changing throng lady, so far
as appearance and bearing went to show,
who was known in his native city nc
Madame, the wife OF tie necromancing
chevalier. The recognition was mutual,
and the two were soon discussing u eau
sucre at an adjacent table. Reminis.
cences were OF course INDUCED in,
and the various incidents OF the frovi.
dence experiences of that lady were
commented on without reserve by the
dame herself. as we'll as by her com pan
ion. She said that she was native of
New Jersey; that she had never 1een
married to the insinuating cheval:,r and
that che left him before his present in
generation for swindlins at the penal in
stitution in the southern part of Chill.
At length the question was asked,
"How much did you realize from your
Providence scheme which was worked
in so pre-. eminently successful a man
ner?" She laughed aloud as she replied,
Zone h1nored and fifty thousand dol
lars" Her nearer was amazed and did
not fail to express his surprise. Eyes"
said she, 1--WE got that amount out of the
concern, and don't forget We had good
time with the money"
Many cirsumstantial accounts were
given Of the various ways in which the
two adventures conducted their clever
conspiracy, and if those who were the
victims could have listened to the bril-.
liant woman as she poured forth the story
of her unsLruoulousness accompanied by
sarcastic comments on their credulity
and ignorance, they would. indeed, have
been far from tlattered. Some of thu
details would not bear publication, but
the gentleman, very prominent bust
ness man, does not doubt word of the
story that Madame L'Chevalier related.
Comment is wholly unnecessary. All ia
miliar with the doings of the pair will
understand the application.
