splendid proportions, with soft peachy
complexion. The exhibition began by the
| manager calling for an umbrella. The
| owner of the umbrella raised It and stood
under it with the young lady. Both had
hold of the handle. Then the borrowed
umbrella ya2ked itself downward, hit the
owner under the ear, pounded him about the
head, and finally, as he struggled 20 hold
it steady, pushed him over half a dozen
grave looking editors and landed HIM IN
an ash heap just OFT tho stage. \ man
held a billiard cue. Miss Hurst put her
| left hand on it with her thumb under the
end OF it, and despite the struggles OF the
gentleman he was hauled all over the
stage, and had TO leave 60 his hold. A
| 2DC-2Ound scientist sat down upon a chair;
| Miss Hurst placed ths palms of her hands
| against its sides and lifted him clean of
the floor. AS the chair began to raise the
| observer could not fail 70 note how the
tiue muscles in tbs forearm grew rigid aud
stood out in little cords. No one seemed
to comprehend the mysterious agency
VIII ch the girl employs.

ever seen in New York, took place on the
| Metropolitan base ball grounds. The

| John Rennie. For months past McCaiTrey
| has been trying 10 get on a match, but
| Mitchell, CIeary, Peudergast and the
other pugilists Of note refrained from
making match with him. When Rem
\ nie, who is famous Caledonian
athlete, challenged sullivan and was
refused, McCatfrey took up tho chal-
| lenge, and the meeting to-day was the re
\ suit. l.. j, Donohue was referee. The men
wore very small gloves, which aided rather
than hindered the force of the blow Rennie
| is a giant, standing 6 leet tall and weighing
| 22O pounds; he is 20 years old. McCaffrey is
| 20 years old, stands ; feet 81 inches tall az d
weighed l65 pounds. Tho ight was a
desperate one, and Renuis, To use spec
tator's expression, did not have face TO
go homo with" He was knocked down
four times by McCaifreY's right.haud
blows, and on the last occasion was
Rocked out Of time. Just as the referee
gave his decision the police ordered tho
tight to stop. II lasted minutes and -
seconds.
Drowned IN the Whirlpool Rapids.
On Saturday mans clothing was found
down at the old Maid of the Mist landing
on the American side of the Niagara river,
at the entrance to the whirlpool rapids. 4

gave the name Of ID. Albert who, it was
discovered, was from Utica and was regis
tered at the Frontier house. Albert was
in the habit of bathing at the
Maid of the Mist landing every
evening and was a very daring
swimmer. He was frequently warned but
seemed to take no heed. Ii is believed he
was trying TO find the current, in order TO
successfully swim the whirlpool rapids,
where Capt. Webb met his fate. He was
about thirty.fiye years OLD, tall and of a
blonde complexion. The affair Is the
subject Of considerable excitement at the

to whether it is suicide or accident.

gathering her skirts about her and flying
from her female admirers il only matched
by the scene at the stage door where
several hundred men and boys waited for
her to come out and then hooted and
yelled at her. Nevertheless the Lily ap.

in San Francisco as elsewheIe--and eco, 900
