In England in old times parochial
meetings were held at Whitsuntids,
usually in some barn near the church,
consisting of kind of picnic, az
each parishioner brought what victu-
ais he could spare. The ale. which
had been brewed pretty strong for the
occasion, was sold by the church war
dens, and from its profits fund arose
for the repair of the church.

it will play fearful havoc among tho

are glad to hear from the same source
that determined etfcrts are being made
by Burmah Good Templars to sup
press tho sale of this fiery poison, and
they have no doubt that the govern

matter in their own interest, if not in
that of the temperance cause, Among
other doubtful meroies, Burmah will
be favored with revised abkarry rul-

THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1886
THE SPORTING SUMMARY.

Detroit paid 81 900 to the Macon
club for the release Of pitcher Smith.
The Chicagos are booked for game
with the Rochesters, July Goth.
1t is thought that some OF the south
crn league clubs will disband before
long, as they are hardly paying ex-
penses.
Henry Bsyls, the st. Louis League
pitcher, has dangerous wound on his
left hand, caused by the bite Of q VIC
ious dog
Big Jim Whitney is doing some tall
batting for the Kansas Citys. He
will be played regularly at center field
when not in the box.
The scorer of the Lsavenworth club
Of tho western league goes to the field
armed. None Of the players ever
question MS scoring.
1t looks very much as though st.
Louis would carry off the pennant in
the American League, with Pittsburg
second and Louisville third.
High salaries are killing tho south
srn league clubs. Augusta has dis.
banded, aud several other clubs, it is
said are now on the verge of ruin.
Al an evidence that base ball in on
the decline, only $4,000 people wit
messed the games at st. Louis, Chica-
20, Detroit, Kansas City, Cincinnati,
Pi.tsburg, and Louisville, Monday
It is understood that the manage
ment Of the Washington club made
Finley an effer of $1,000 to catch for
them. Finley, however, thought he
was better off with the New Ysrks,
and refused it.
Hornung, OF Boston, has the best
record in 6elding for an eut.fslder in
one game. In the Boston Buffalo
game, Sept. 20, 1881, he put out ten
men an assisted once without an error
Jones, Of Cincinnati, had ten put-euts
in one game this season.
President Byrne has discovered a
nice little game going ON in the South.
Many of the clubs there are fattening
the averages Of some of their players
in order to dispose of them for COED
price to some Northern clubs. Sew
sral instances Of this kind are reported.
1t is rumered that among ether in
ternal dissensions in the Buffalo club
Is the question of religion. The play
srs, with the exception of Wood, the
pitcher, are all Of one faith. He seems
to bo generally disliked on this sc-
count. and many people think that is
the reasen that such poor support is
given him.
The American Association began
this season with four umpires-Y Young,
Mack, Carlin and Kelly. OF these
the veteran John Kelly only remains.
Among those who have regularly
served in the interim are York, Nor
ton, Tunison, Ferguson, Clinton,
Quinn, Valentine, Bradley and others.
The corps of Umpires now is Kelly,
Valentine, Walsh and Bradley.
This season has been prolific of in
luries to players; not a club but what

More Care and Light Wanted.

To the kditor of The EVENING STAR:
Each summer passengers in landing from our
river steamers fall are crowded into the
river at the landing here-more especially on
their return from river excursions at night.
There seems to be great want OF care on the
thorities, In this respect. A short time since
went with a party OF citizens 10 Lower Cedar
Point, and on our return at halfpast nine p. NJ =,
when the tide was i'll, and the deck OF the boat
raised several ieet above the dock, we were
hustled and crowded down AN inclined gang
plank, the officers Oi the boat standing at eacn
side pushing ladies and children along and
telling them to hurry up, they wanted to
get through aud 90 home, and tCIth tight
nearer than the sidelCalk! There were between
tour aud i've hundred passengers, the great
bulk oi whom were women and children, many
OF The latter just reused frUI1 sleep, being nus
tied Oh like flock of sheep, without light
enough 10 Were or ON what they were
stepping! There Is o excuse fOr such work a )
that Ii the steamb boat company can't afford 10
have a couple oi gas lights at the outer edge of
the dock, they certainty Can afford To put up "A
couple OF oil lamps 80 people can see where
they are going. IL Is wonder that people
Iali or walk INTO the river, as The papers state
every little while; the only wonder Is that
more such accidents do not happen. Why 10
not the authorities look alter Inc matter?
Surely, they should TO il, That life Is reu-
dered secure, or at least reasonable precAution
be taken 10 prevent avoluaUle accidents.
Another matter that needs reforming is the
manner OF taxing up the tickets. On Tue occs,-
sion referred To the passengers were rushing

TO take up the tickets, and VINO i'll The hurry

AN ILL.FATED CITY.
