THE LADIES TOURNAMENT.

The announcement Thursday that the
ladies' tournament would take place at the
Park yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
caused large number to assemble The
grand stand was well filled, the majority
of the audience being ladies. The First
Artillery Band was in attendance, and
those assembled enjoyed rare treat of
concert music, consisting Of medleys, solos,
ETC., all OF which was artistically rendered
4 number of trotterS and few runners
were exercising on the track, and in con-
sequence the tournament did not COM
mence until nearly an hour after the
advertised time. The entries were ten in
number, and as follows: Miss Ida Fox,
Stockton; Mrs. Kate George, Sacramento :;
Miss Amelia Moore, Chico; Miss May
Maloney, Nevada City; Miss Bell Ellis,
Sacramento; Miss Stella Strobe, Sacramento;
Miss Anna Kember, Paradise, Nevada !;
Miss Johanna kember, Paradise, Nevada ;
Mrs. Ella Bewley, San Francisco
Miss Winnie Clark, Yolo. The names of
the riders were not put upon the black
board, nor were they announced, and the
audience, in consequence, was III blisSful
ignorance as to the personnel of the con-
testants. This may be all right, the judges
say it is, but half the interest in the con-
test is lost to the observer. You could
hear the ladies criticising the riders, refer
ring to the contestants as the "red headed
girl" the old woman" sage brush, "
etc. The young men, however, referred to
them as daisies" and really the latter ap-
pellation applied 10 the riding of each, for
never before was such equestrienne grace
observed in a ladies' tournament in this
city. Some of the ladies were badly handi-
capped by having horses that would not
take the hurdle, nor lope. The Misses
kember, of Paradise, had excellent horses,
which they rode without saddles and over
which they had the most complete control
They took the hurdle at its highest point,
with horses going at a full gallop, singly
and together. Their riding was greeted
with the widest cheering, as was also
that of Miss Belle Ellis, whose horse
also was under complete control
Miss Fox, of Stockton, very graceful
rider, rode fine animal, but he was Il
" single-footer, and that gait is anything
but good for taking hurdles. Some of the
horses evidently never had seen hurdle
before, and refused to take it on the first at
tempt A laughable incident occurred
during the contest: One of the two little
girls in riding to the hurdle saw a bright
silver dollar lying on the track. She
brought her horse to sudden halt, dis
mounted, pocketed the coin, remounted,
took the hurdle and lost very little time.
The act caused considerable merriment
and applause. The ladies viii ride again
on Friday next, when the prizes will be
awarded

WHOJ E NO ll,O43.

The iourneymen assert that in those shops
where the new rules were posted last weeE,
the employers have surrendered, taken
their old hands back and discharged their
apprentices, in compliance with the de-
mauds OF the union. The master plumb
ers assert the statement is unfounded, the
President declaring: "Weare fully deter
mined to fight the battle out. We are
gaining new members every day and will
win in the end. There are now about two
hundred and fifty employers on our list
who agreed to abide by the rules OF the as
sociaton to manage their shops. About
one hundred and fifty shops are idle, ex-
cept on such work as the employers them
selves do, with the assistance of apprentices.
In other shops, by an arrangement with us,
men restill at work under the old rules.
This was done in order that the public
might not be put to too great inconven-
ience."
Result CT the Cutting Controversy.
New YORK, September 10th.-A Wash
ington special says The Secretary of State,
Notwithstanding the release of Cutting,
will il is said, insist upon the abrogation
Of Article 1SG OF the Mexican Penal Code,
which cOnfers upon Mexican Courts iuris-
diction, under certain circumstances, over
foreigners for of1enses committed outside of
Mexican territory, or, at least. Bayard will
insist upon the remuneration by Mexico of
the right to subject American citizens to
that Code, on the ground that the Amer
ican Courts have exclusive jurisdiction over
offenses committed within the territory of
the United States by American citizens.

New SOCIETY SENSATION AT WASHING
TONI understand that we are to have a
new sensation in society next winter, and
that professional beauties will be all the
rage. There has never been such thing
in this country, although the United States
has furnished material to stimulate the
craze in England, and l do not see why we
shouldn't go frantic over our pretty girls as
well as the EngEshnen. When Mrs.
Langtry came over with her reputation,
there was not town she visited that could
not produce dozen or more women that
threw her charms into eclipse. and some of
them are coming to Washington next win
ter. 1t is the Presidents wife who is un-
consciously the cause of the proposed in
novation, and her beauty has inspired a
spirit of rivalry among the people who
think they know women as pretty as She

uniformity of torn jackets and old boots but OF

The Primary Cadets are working hard now in

The Rowdoin Crew.

The crew which is to represent Bowdoin in the
regatta on Lake George is made up as follows:
Captain L. B. Varney 'S7; No. 3, Tenney, 'S7i !
No. 2, Jackson, 'S9; No. 1, F. Lyman, 80. Their
weights are: Varney, 169 pounds; Tenney, 1862
pounds; Jackson, 1873 pounds; Lyman, ITO
pounds. The course for practice is on the Andro-
scoggin, where there is ample room for a mile
and a half straightaway row. Twice day the
crew pulls over the course beside other practice,
which makes a total of about two hours work in
the boat per day. The work is like that of former
years, but in few days the men viii be put in
charge of Fred Plaisted, and enjoy advantages of
training which no crew of Bowdoin has hereto
fore enjoyed. 1t is expected that the crew will
row several races before that on the lake, but
nothing has been absolutely settled. though it is
safe to say that about the 1st of June, on Ivy
Day, Portland crew will try their metal here.
The boat used will be the one used last year, but
it is to be rugged over by Mr.. Plaisted. 1t is in
fine condition, and is all the boys can ask. The
principal officers of the association are: Commo-
dore, George Norris; first director, C. f. Moul.
ton. The crew is younger one than that sent
last year, the average age being about 21, but
they are all solid men, in whom Mr.. Plasted has

for few days last week, and, as their weights
show, worthy successors to Bowdoin's giants and
heef eaters

AERIAL NAVIGATION
a Practical Test by Or. De Bausset-
Description of the Machine.

Chicago. April 26.-The mter-Ocean this morn
ing says: Dr. De Bausset the gentleman VINO
has been for several years attempting to solve the
problem of aerial navigation, has just made J, a
practical test that is OF conS1deraDle note "
public The plan is to build steel cylh@1eI @ ~ ~
feet long and rs feet in diameter WIN ~ loVt
cone at each end, the entire length being 45O ieet
Beneath the cylinder it is proposed to suspend q
car which will be some 120 feetl long and carry Tue
fiation process will be dispensed with, ana tne
cylinder will be almost complete vacuum. He
proposes to use electricity as motor, and ex-
poets to attain speed of 15 to 20 miles per hour
near the earth's surface and 40 to go miles per
hour at an attitude of 5000 feet. To accomplish
this he will use dynamo electric motors which Will
rotate IL screws and displace 100000 cubic feet
of air per minute. The cylinder Is to be built OF
steel plates "a inches long and 10 inches wide.
The experiment yesterday was to test the practl-
cal strength of the plates This was done by put
ting plate in such position in a frame that had
been arranged so that the entire weight would
rest upon the steel. The doctor put 2400 pounds
of iron upon the steel plate, which was more than
his figures had shown it would stand. The plate
proved itself of sufficient strength to hold the
load To-day he will test it with hydraulic pres
sure The cylinder will be vacuum of three
quarters one quarter being reserved to counter
act the atmospheric pressure of 1856 pounds. To
raise the aeropane with the car attached, the
machinery and 200 persons the pressure is 500
pounds giving margin of 80 tons OF air in reserve
in the cylinder to carry merchandise. With the
so tons of air displaced the atmospheric pressure
will be IL pounds.
