STUNNING IN LONDON.
An English Pastime that Has Not
kObtained FOothoId in New York.

kObtaIned EOOtHOIQ IN New 1ofks
From The Ns,0 York san.
"There is one English fashion which
the Anglo-maniacs have not yet sue
ceeded in introducing In New York." said
the European buyer Of large silk house
few days ago, ''and that is Summing.
In London, visiting the slums is believed
to be about the iolliest and most fetching
dissipation known to the fashionable
world. The subject has been the butt of
the comic weekly artists of London for
some months now, and no well-regulated
member of society can afford TO miss
Summing party during the season.
They do 1t up in great shape over
there, you know. An Englishman must
dress for every expedition, no matter
whether it IS a trip to Africa or walk
to the corner. In stunning, women run
to cloaks and men to long coats. These
outer garments are believed to ward off
disease, though exactly how they do it
when their weareTs breathe the foul air OF
the slums is difficult to imagine. When
they return to the house OF their hostess
or chaperone the young people all throw
off these wraps IN the passage, and the
wraps are aired by the servants and re-
turned by messenger the following day. A
supper, more or less elaborate, follows
hands hungry and laxative There are
always TWO policemen with The party. and
as a rule not more than i've or s.X people
90 along. LOudOn's tramps are liable to
prove surly and il-tempered when their
homes are invaded. The party start from
the hostess house in carriages at II
O'Clock, or perhaps midnight, although
that is pretty late, and drive to the heart
OF the London slums. Here they wander
ifb 7 no T.
cast, and the lost ones Of the great town,
pushing their way into rooms where
drunken louis, repulsive women, and
scraggy and unkempt children lie sleep
ing like 50 many worms in a bait box.
They 90 everywhere, for the police do not
recognize the rights Of any Of the pau
per5, and bang their way ruthlessly
ahead. The high-horn men ana women
gaze upon their dirty fellow creatures,
visit their opium dens, their drinking
places, dance halls-Or, rather, cellars
invade their living rooms. When they've
had all their stOmachs and eyes Will stand
they return to their supper. 1t never oc-
ours TO them, OF course, that the cost OF
one such meal as they discuss would lift
a mountain OF misery ana woe from the
backs of the poor they have just visited.
Philanthr0phy is not proper fad now
across the water.
Though most Americans would be apt
to sheer at summing in London, there
reailyis "A reason for it. Here, you know,
we are familiar with all grades OF life,
from the lowest to the highest: but the
majority of English aristocrats know
nothing of people who are not in their
own class, and the lower quarters Of the
town are full Of novelties tor them"
'Is there no summing in New York?'
ION, occasionally parties of men send
Il 70 al if11a WI, 4 ~
the services Of a detective for a trip
through Baxter, Mulberry, and Mott
streets; but stunning is recognized as
a fashionable amusement"

THE CADETS IN ACTION.
Good Practice at the Schuetzcn
Park Yesterday Afternoon.

Good Practice at the Schuetzcn
Park Yesterday Afternoon.
The shooting contest Of the Savannah
Cadets at the Scheutzen Park yesterday
afternoon was a somewhat novel and very
interesting one. The main features were
the firing by platOons at twelve figures
the SIZE of men at various ranges, and the
skirmish drill, advancing and rctTeating
and firing at the targets, the men being
the judges of the distances. In the first
contest the platoOns were commanded by
Lieuts. j. f. Brooks and Is. 5. Nell, re
spectiyely. The second platoon, under
Lieut.. Nell, was victorious, as il was in
the last contest in June. The Cadets are
the IntrOducers OF platoon contests in Sa-
yannab, and the practice is conducted as
Ia the regular army.
The skIrmlsh drlll was equally as in
terestng as the platoon contest. The
novelty of advancing and retreating
as if IN action gave it realistic
character That made it very attractive.
In this contest each man acted az II in an
actual skirmish, and had to nudge of the
distance from the enemy, or rather the
targets. Fortunately, however, the dodg-
ing Of the enemy's bullets did not cOnsti-
tute an element IN the engagement. The
practice was quite satisfactory, the "r2w-
ness' OF the troops being taken iutO con-
sideration. The best three snots were
made by Priyates Malcolm Cunningham
and Geo. f. Symons and Corpl. Ii. G.
Bacon.
rhe Cadets enjoyed the occasion very
much. The weather was quite warm,
but was tempered by delightful sea
breeze.
1t is more than probable that several
others OF the local military companies
will follow the Cadets in adding these ill.,
teresting and really useful features to
their regular shooting contests.

Savannah's battery was John Moriarity

pitchers were well supported. GOldsby

from centre on which runner was put
out at third brought down the grand

the last inning, on which he took

OF the pretty features of the game. Miller,

which has been characteristic of their
