Halstead's Low Cut Vest

Murat Halstead, the eminent editor of the
Cincinnati Commercial GaSette, is probably the
least understood of all the great journalists
of the country. The prevailing idea that he
is light aud frivorous by nature is entirely
erroneous. The public has been led into
this false opinion by the few specimens of
photographic witwfieh unwise commentators
and biographers have paraded as samples Of
Mr. Halstead's literary style Mr.. Halstead
is essentially thinker. He seldom INDUCES
in levity, and it is in study and in the
more delightful pursuit of the serious
ways of his profession that he finds the
greatest pleasure. In the solution of the
complicated political problems of the age he
has few equals and no superiors. In EVIL
dence of his unfinching determination and
his bulldog tenacity, strange incident may
be cited. In 1872 Mr.. Halstead went off
with the liberal element OF the Republican
party and became an ardent supporter OF
Horace Greeley. While that famous cam
paign was in progress, Mr.. Halstead went TO
New York, aud in the lobby of the Fifth
Avenue hotel one evening fell into an argu-
ment with Roscoe Conkling as to the prob
able result of the impending election. Mr..
Halstead became greatly excited, and in the
course of the conversation exclaimed: II
shall wear this vest TIL Greeley is elected. y
At that time very low cut. three-button vests
were in style, and Mr.. HaIstead always kept
pace with the fashion Il shall hold you to
that declaration, sir" said Mr.. Conkling,
with a bitter smile. Mr.. Greedy vas not
elected. and died in less than four months.
But Halstead remembered his vow, uttered
in a moment of excitement. He kept on
wearing the low cut vest, summer and win
ter, in stYle and out.o style, til in the fall
of 1879 it came al to pieces. like the historic
one-horse shay. and the tailors said
there was no such thing as putting
it together again. Il have registered
vow in high heaven crie,l Mr.. HaIstead,
ssand / Will not be foiled,r And he did the
next best thing; he had another loH-eut
vest constructed on the very same pattern as
the old one, aud this new garment and 9TH
ers similarly fashioned he has worn ever
since There has sheen many a laugh at Nh.
Halstead's expansive snirt-bosom, and many
a cruel Jest has been uttered at the expense
of his old-fashioned waistcoat, but only a
small rcIe Of boon companions has known
the true st6rv Of Mr. Halstead's conscientious
defiance of customs. fashions and STYLES for
the redemption Of pledge given under the
most exasperating proFocaticn.

SALTWATER, July 12.-To-day's was the
finest game that has been played here. 1t
required twelve innings to decide who had
the victory. Errors were few and almost
unavoidable. The fielding on both sides
was sharp. When a man could be put out
the opportunity was. not lost. In most OF
the innings they went out in one, two, three
order In the sixth inning the home team
made one run, and the visitors mrde one IN
the seventh and one in the twelfth. No two
clubs could be more evenly matched than
those that played to-day The batteries were
strong, Quinn and Dealy being for the
home team and Foutz and Robinson for the
visitors. Fowler did some excellent play
ing, and his throw from right field to third
base was telling one. Rapidly of throw
ing was marked feature, and all did well,
but the GOODNESS of Quinn, in the most ex-
citing moments, was very noticeable. The
three-base hits of Visner, Dealy and Foutz
did not profit them, as the play was too
sharp. The attendance was not large, but
those who were present were highly de-
lighted and witnessed the best game OF the
season. 1t was a contest between the pitch
ers. Peters must have bee II pleased with
the way his men worked together, and even
Noonan, who has been on the base ball field
to play only once or twice this season,
showed the material of which he was made.
By holding the ball a little too long he allowed
the last score to be made, thus giving the
visitors the game. The following is the
score:

MILWAUKEE, July 12.-The feature of the
Milwaukee-Fort Wayne game to-day was that
only four men came to bat in the first in
ming, and only three in each succeeding in
ming. The score was l to 0 in favor of Mill
waukee. About 900 people were in attend
anee when the game opened. Brown pitch
ed for Fort Wayne and Cushman for the
home club. DunIevy umpired. Sexton, of
the Mlwaukees. went to bat, and took his
base on seven balls, but was thrown out in
trying to reach second. Hogan went out
on strikes, and Maynahan was thrown
out at first base. The visitors went out with
Wood on first base Garden being put out
between second and third and two striking
out. In the second inning Behel reached
first on the second baseman's error, and got
to third when the catcher dropped the ball.
Straub brought him in, but the side went out
in straight order. The rest of the game was
a succession Of brilliant plays with but few
errors Broughton made two high throws
which nearly lost the game for the Milwau-
KEGS, but quick fielding saved the day. The
following is the score:

lTi,.neapolis rs. !sanina,r.

The one days rest evidently did the Min
neapols boys some good, for they braeed up,
and, barring few errors, played strong
game with the Sagiuaws. 1t was fifteen
inning struggle and was then decided a draw
by the umpire, the score sheet giving each
club credit for four runs. Caruthers and
Walker occupied the points for the home
team and they did themselves proud. Ca
ruthers did not weaken, but pitched all the
innings with remarkably even effectiveness.
He had one wild pitch, but did not give
man his run on balls. Garrison, the pitcher
for the visitors, is wonder. His peculiar
curves troubled our boys sorely, twenty-five
Of them striking out, while only eleven were
struck out by Caruthers. The base hits
of the game were eight with a total of nine
for Minneapolis, and six with total of six
for Saginaw Reid alone cracked the ball
for two bases. Parker's error cost the home
club three runs. The other six errors were
not costly. The only costly Wrrors by the
visitors were passed balls. AMI they gave
Minneapolis two runs. The umpire is blamed
for the draw. Murray ran home on a helders
choice hit, and to the eyes of everybody was
safe bv several seconds, vet he was called
out This one, which the umpire cheated
them out of, would have given the home team
the game. There was considerable kicking
on both sides at the manner in which Frank

which probably accounts for the fielding
errors. The attendance was quite large

Charles Reade tells one tale Of the ro-
nance of fiddle dealing which is charming.
There was certain precious violoncello at
Madrid. 1t was genuine Straduarius. The
local maker, Orteago, had put in new bel
ly and sold it, keeping the old belly in his
shop. VI. Chanot, the best judge Of violins
left, now Tarisio is gone, lighted upon the
old belly and bought it. Tairsio then dis
covered it, and pestered Chanot until he sold
it for 1000 francs, and told him where the
remainder of the fiddle was to be
found. The owner was persuaded to part
with il for 1000 francs, and Tarisio sailed ex-
ultant to Paris, with the Spanish bass in case.
He never left It out ofhis sight. The pair
were caught by a storm in the Bay of Biscay
The ship rolled; Tarisio clasped his bass
tight and trembled. 1t was a terrible gale
and for one whole day they were in great
danger. Tarisio spoke Of it to me with a
shudder. / will give you his real words, for
they struck me at the time, and l have very
often thought of them: ''Ab, my poor Mr.
Reade, the bass Of Spain was all but lost.'

I went last week to the French plays at the
Gaiety theatre. The house was but moder-
ately filed, but this did not surprise me, for
the entertainment was hardly such as justi-
fed prices being doubled. Madame Judic
is fairly good actress of the suggestive type.
She can say with very innocent air things
which are the reverse of innocent, and this
talentis one which has always been highly
appreciated by the Parisians. She is not in
her first youth, and fat-and forty, skipping
about in bathing dress, is not quite the
same as sweet seventeen. Paris is go near
London that there really is no excuse for re-
garding every French actor or actress as an
exotic, to be rewarded for crossing the Chan
mel as though it were the Atlantic. At the
customary prices, a French company would
probably do fair business here; with opera
house prices such company is never likely
to succeed, unless under very exceptional
circumstances. The vast majority of rich
Englishpeople, patrons wholly way Of knowing
French find it hard work to follow the dia-
logue of French vaudeville or comedy.
