The Final Game Between the New
York and Providence Leagues.

NEW YORK, July 15-About $500
spectators witnessed the final game to-
day between the New York and Prov
idence league clubs. The contest was
exciting, but rather poorly played, the
local team winding up in the 10th in
ming. The local team played a fine up
hill game and deserved their victory.
Stout was taken sick in the second
inning, and Paul Hines took his place.
Bassett, Carroll, Gerhart and Ward
made some wonderful plays. In the
tenth inning the score stood
to 6. The Providence were
retired in one, two and three order.
Esterbrook, the first striker for the
New Workers, got his base on Man
nings. tumble went to second on
Dergan's hit and scored amid the wild
est excitement on Gorhart's hit to
right field. The score stood: New
York, z; Providence 6.

TUE Eyening Post says # the editor

THE Evening Post says If the editor
of the Vicksburg COMMERCIAL HER
AID should be nominated for SHERIFF
or any other important Office" a good
many "citizens could not oonscien-
tiously support him" The Post may
spare itself all uneasiness. The editor
of the COMMERCIAL HERALD is not a
candidate for any Office, and would not
accept a nomination if rendered him,
by his party. 1t is not exactly in good
taste to decline a nomination before
offered, but he deems it due to himself
and to the people Of his native county,
so that his motives can not possibly be
called in question. His sole aim and
ambition is to aid in the glorious cause
reforming Warren county. If the
Pst will aid US in this important

announce it to the public.

SLOUGHING OFF DEAD WEIGHT

- -
The Democratic party of this county
has the unquestioned right to refuse
to carry dead weight, and to make the
standard that shall govern it. The
County Convention did perfectly right
to require everyone taking part in its
proceedings to pledge himself to sup
port the county and State nominees.
That only those who refused to do
this are earnest Beck men is
u~nanswerable proof of this, for Mr..
Beck is nov the scie obstacle in
the way Of a thorough reform of coun-
ty affairs, the woTk which the party
purposes to do. The resolution was
adopted by an overwhelming majority,
and it now only remains for the exec.
utive branch of the party to enforce
it. That it will do that we have no
doubt.
1t should give che gentlemen who
occupy a false position on the delega-
ton to Jackson full time to ap-
preciate it, and allow them
to retire. 1t should pursue the same
policy with regard to those on the Ex-
ecutive Committee, who refused to
pledge themselves to support the nom
inees. When the party throws off all
Goad weight, it will be in trim for the
real work OF the campaign.

The Railroad ramittee.

From the New London Day
The Norwalk Hour criticises the Railroad
committee of the General Assembly with un-
due severity. 1t claims that the committee
has kept back its reports and that it is
manipulated by some persons in the interests
of tho railroad corporations of the State. And
yet in the very article containing these
charges, the Hour admits that ON the two
most important measures that have come be-
fore the committee-the short haul bill and
the TIVE cents q mile bill-its action is wise
and just.
The Railroad committee is, in large part,
made up Of men who are entitled to the public
confidence. Especially is this the case 80
far as the Senate and House ohairmen are
concerned.
Senator Allen is a man of the highest
character and of excellent judgment. He
was a member of the Senate during the war
period and the loyal citizens of Connecticut
have not forgotten the services that honest
John Allen rendered to the State as chair
man of the Finance committee at the time
He is fearless and Independent as well as
honest and may be depended upon to do his
duty in any position to which he may be
called.
Mr.. Couch, of Stonington, the House chair
man, is now serving his third term as a rep
resentative for that town. His legislative
career is above reproach in every respect.

larly fitted to deal intelligently with questions

From THE Children of the Cold,'' by Lieutenant
Frederick Schwatka in ST. Nicholas for April.]
One sport that amuses the Eskimo boys
very much would probably be called in our
language reindeer hunting" Having found
long and gentle slope a hillside, they
place along the bottom of the hill number
of reindeer antlers, or, sometimes in
correctly call them, deer-horns (for you boys
must not forget that the antlers of deer are
not horn at all, but bone.) These antlers of
the reindeer are stuck upright in the snow,
singly or in groups, in such manner that a
sled, when well guided, can be run between
them without knocking any of them down,
the number of open spaces between the
groups being equal to at least the number of
sleds. The quantity of reindeer antlers they
can thus arrange will of course, depend
upon their fathers success the autumn be-
fore in reindeer hunting; but there are near
ly always enough antlers to give two or
three, and sometimes five or six, to each
fearless young coaster.
The boys with their sleds numbering from
four to six in fair-sized village, gather on
the top of the hill, each boy having with
him two or three spears or a bow with as
many arrows. They start together, each
boys object being to knock down as many
antlers as possible and not be the first to
reach the bottom OF tne Mil. You can see
that in such case, the slower.they go when
they are passing the antlers the better. They
must knock over the antlers with their spears
or arrows only, as those thrown down by the
sledge or with the bow or spear in the hand
do not count. They begin to shoot their ar
rows and throw their spears as soon as they
can get within effective shooting distance;
and, even after they have passed between
the rows of antlers, the more active boys
will turn around on their flying sleds and
hurl back a spear arrow with sufficient
force to bring down an antler.
When all have reached the bottom of the
hill they return to the rows of antlers, where
each boy picks out those he has rightfully
captured and places them in pile by them
selves. Then those accidentally knocked
over by the sledges again put up and the
bows return for another dash down the hill,
until all the antlers have been s'speared." ;"
Sometimes there is but one antler left, and
when there are five or six centesting slsds
the race becomes very exciting, for then
speed counts in reaching the antler first.
when all are down the boys count their win
nings, and the victor is of course the one
who has obtained the greatest number of an
