"TOM" DAVIES.


Was Shot by Holland.
New York Tribune.
TON" Davies was one Of the bestknown
sporting men in this country. He was a promi-
nent figure in all the prize fights, walking
matches, race tracks and rowing matches. He
was ready for anything in which there was a
dollar, from a brace" faro game or sawdust
racket" to backing an oarsman or pedestrian.
He was about forty-ive years old, with a fine
figure and good constitution, and was the hero
of more than one rough-and-tumble fight. When
a young man, he came here from Augusta, Ca,
and as soon as he reached mans estate began
life as q sport and gambler. Soon he became
known as a cool, steady gambler and a man who
stuck at nothing in the race for money. His
particular hobby in the sporting line was
pedestrianism. and he trained and backed
Paddy Fitzgerald in his first successful match.
He handled Fitzgerald in all his subsequent races,
and won a great deal OF money with him. In the
first rollerskating race he took a fancy to Will
liam Donovan, who won the race, and it IS owing
almost entirely to Davies's handling Of the boy
that he won. He projected the last roller
skating match, but his man Hartman was de-
feated. The last sporting affair at which he was
prominent was the Hanlan-Lee rowing match at
Rockaway a week ago last Saturday.
Dawes has been known to be engaged in the
sawdust business for a number of years, and the
place in Reade street where he met his death
was engaged and prepared for the purpose of
carrying or that game. His method of pro-
cedure in the game did not differ materially
from that of other masters of it, except that he
made the substitution of the package containing
worthless paper for that containing the money in
his Office. instead of on the way to the train or
hotel, and thereby took the risks which led to
his death. Outside of his business Davies had
the reputation of being a genial, whole,souled
fellow who always acted ION the square" with
his friends. His family relations were of the
most pleasant kind. He leaves O widow and two
children, who live at Third avenue and Seventy
second street. He is supposed to have amassed
a comfortable fortune by his many schemes.

)ne of the Greatest Events OF the Summer
Season at Newport.

One of the Greatest Events OF The Summer
Season at Newport.
Newport Special.
One of the finest balls of the season was given
to night by Mrs. Pierre Lorillard, of New York,
at her villa, 1.-THE Breakers" at Ochre Point.
Three hundred guests accepted the hospitality of
the hostess. The ball room, sixty feet long and
about thirty feet wide and as many feet in
height, presented a brilliant appearance, lighted
as it was upon this occasion with at least three
hundred lights. The ball room is really the hall,
although shut off from the entrances and is in
the centre of the house. Two private staircases
lead from the gallery above to the ball room.
and extending around it is a pretty gallery with
a unique projection, especially built for the
orchestra, which was hidden by tropical plants.
Guests, instead of entering the ball room from
the first floor, assembled outside staircases and
descended by the private staircases referred to,
after arranging their ~toilettes. The ball room.
it is thus to be seen, was in a measure isolated
from the main entrance, but unusually easy of
access from the piaZZaS and from all the other
elegantly furnished and decorated apartments.
The room was elegantly decorated with choice
cut flowers, flowers In pots. tropical plants, rare
tapestries, etc. 1t was encircled with a border
or rope of red and white flowers. A profusion
of wild flowers were used for centre pieces on
the sides. The front entrance was decorated
with plants and Turkish rugs led from the door
to the covered carriage entrance. The grounds
extending to the ocean were brilliantly illumin-
ated.
The ladies were dressed in the height of fash.
ion, and many ~toilettes were made for this oc-
casion. The house is not only one of the largest.
but is also one of the finest iii the city. The ball
was one of the events of the season and will be
remembered for a long time to come.

PETosKEY, Sept. 3-This is one of the most
accessible points for Indianapolis people to visit
for a summer vacation. It can be reached in
twenty hours by rail, or by boat in longer time
via Detroit or Chicago. 1t is situated on a high
bluff on Little Traverse bay, which is said by
one who has seen both to resemble very much
The far-famed Bay of Naples in all that goes to
make a beautiful sheet of water. Ten years
ago this was a struggling Indian village with few
inhabitants; now it is a well-built-up
city of 1000. 1t is named for q
chief of the Chippewas. He has just been
taken to the 'happy hunting ground" but has
left a numerous progeny, many of whom are
well-todo in land and merchandise. On the
different points of the bay l suppose there are
not less than 500 cottages, many of them quite
elegant, others just as cheaply put together as
any structure could be; and from June to Octo-
Der they are all occupied by their owners, who
mostly nail from Michigan. Illinois and Ohio.
On the bay are a number of pleasure boats, and
there Is a ffty-cent excursion almost every day
to some point of interest land there are a great
many of them within a radius of forty miles.
They leave the dock here at 8 or 9 o'clock in the
morning, and return at 5 or 6 in the evening.
Yesterday there was an excursion to Cross
Village. and about three hundred visitors took
advantage of a slxty-mile ride for fifty cents.
At the village is the convent of st Francis. 1t
was founded in 1856 by the Franciscan Fathers,
and the father now in charge is one of the found
ers. The buildings are quite extensive. The
residence, and school rooms, and chapel are all
under one roof. a square, frame building. They
have large barns aud outhouses, a carpenter
shop, mill. etc. They have 1,600 acres of
land, about one hundred of it under cul-
~tivation, and from appearances / think
the sisters do most of their work. The head
father has his coffin made and his grave dug. 1t
is shown to the visitors at ten cents a head. 1t
has steps going down into it, and there is a chair
in it. The good father, so we were told, spends
a part of every day sitting in his tomb contem-
plating his future state. This is a harbor of safe
ty. a city of refuge for many hay~fever sufferers,
and hundreds every year come here for relief,
and if they get here before the disease has got a
very strong hold on them they always get
speedy relief. There are excellent hotels and
boarding houses, where beard can be had for S.
to $40 a week. D. W. @.
