THE LIME KILN L U
The Picnic Passes OF 0~uletly-Tiie Games,
Winners and Prizes.

The Picnic Passes on Ouletly-Ile Gahies'
Winners and Prizes.
Delegates to the seventh annual election
and picnic of the Lime Kiln club began to
arrive at midnight ON Wednesday night. The
ilst one to put in an appearance was Coi'
Dodo Rockafellow, Of Covingtonr Ky. He
made the trip afoot, in exactly twenty days.
By midnight on Friday 207 honorary mem
bcrs aud delegates had appeared and been
furnished quarters Among tho very promi-
nent delegates present were thirty-iour
colonies, seventeen majors, fourteen Judges
twenty-one professors, thirty elders and SIX
sirs. The most commanding and tho best
dressed delegation was from South Carolina,
and consisted of Judge Prehensile Smith,
Col. Danforth Gore, Professor Oscillation
Baker and the Rev. Carminc Pathfinder.
As each delegate arrived at tho hall he was
busted off with q horse brush, given a pint OF
iced tea and assigned to quarters with some
local member. The only cases OF attempted
fraud was on tho part of q stranger claiming
10 he q delegate from the White Rose branch
club, at Sandusky, o. The credentials he
submitted proved to be q recipe for mixing a
horse liniment, and when flung down on his
back and stepped on he admitted that he was
one Samuel Davis, Of Toledo, who wanted 10
learn the inside workings Of the club and &c
about p~ersonating Giveadam Jones. The
way he was hustled down three pairs of stairs
will live in his memory for q hundred years
to ONE.
A business meeting was held in the library
Friday evening, at which all committees re,
ported. The thanks of the club are extended
to tho many Detroiters who came to the front
to make the banquet q grand success.
At s o'clock Saturday evening, preceded
by q band which threw off sweet strains at
. every step, the procession marched to the
foot Of Eighteenth street and embarked on O
barge to be lowed down to Fighting island.
Most of the local members were accompanied
by their wives and children. Among the
banners in the procession were noticed those
bearing legends as follows: "Nevcr let go OF
a spring chicken to look for an old hcn,'
give hundred years hence the black will he
on top" "The man who poisons a watermill-
yon deserves the rope" ave have got our
heads above water"
At the island everything had been arranged
for q good time. Before beginning the games
which were to test the strength and agility OF
the members, Brother Gardner mounted a
barrel and made a brief speech. He referred
to Cleopatra, the siege OF Troy, tho New Or
leans exposition and the recent trouble with
Mexico, and expressed an earnest wish that
every member should stand ready to lay
down his life in case the United States de
cided to go in and give France, Germany
Austria, Roumania and Russia a gentle drub-
bling. His remarks were received with such
enthusiasm that Maj. Powhattan Green, q
delegate from Virginia, fell in q fit and had
to be soaked in the river eighteen minutes
before he came to enough TO miss his Water
bury watch.

wheels Neither of these arc much used,
however, and the open vehicle Is the favorloe;
It was in one Of these jauntlng car that l
rode out to Blarney castle. 1t hes about hVe
miles from Cork, and 1t, about 40 years ago,
formed the residence Of some OF the Irish
k,nos Both Cromwell and King William
III beste4ed it, and the latter, after the battle
Of the Boyne, In tho time OF our several times
ereat-Crandfathers, took it and demolished
ali but the donjon tower. This remains to
dav IN GOOD preservation, and promises to
defy for years the assaults OF Time and the
WV. Grass and vines grow In It's c~revices,
and over its top, 120 feet high, the height OF a
good long church spire, the green leaves have
tvined themselves. This tower is many feet
sonare and has numerous dark rooms.
/ II is built of granite, and there is q winding
stairway which leads to the top. The tower
is wonderfully well constructed, and the
architect of today would find it hard to
duplicate it.
The Barney stone is about twenty feet
from the top and though the guide books say
otherwise, it is impossible to kiss it and live.
Some travellers are shown other stones and &C
away imagining that in kissing these that
they carry with them the mysterious power
given by kissing the Barney stone as de
scribed in tho Irish lines. For
Like a magnet its influence such is,
ATTRACTION il gives all it touches,
IF YOU kiss il they say, from that blessed day,
You may kiss whom you l1ease Wld YOU

stanttaIly adopted the design. Long after
thew learned that the reason Of the short
tower ON the oth,r side was that the British
congregation had not sufficient money to
finish il. This greatly amused DR.. Cheever's
congregation, but did not alter their opin-
ION OF the ~picturesqueness Of tho alb
breyiated tower The Church OF the Purf-
tsns was sold, the stones marked and put into
the Mt. Oives (oolore1 Baptist church, In
Ffty-third street near Seventh avenue, an
exact reproduction Of the ~tvycovered pile OF
a marter Of q century ago In Union square,
minus the ivy. But In tho street through
which the elevated railway run It naturally
dos NOT look half so imposing as itdd in the
famous square. Hardly any old New Yorker
recognizes it, I suspect, when he passes it
DR.. Cheever is also extant, though gener-
aIly supposed to be dead. He retired from
the pulpit during the civil war on account OF
delicate health, and has been living most OF
the time in one Of the New Jersey suburbs.
Ia has had an active career. Born in Maine,
q graduate of Bowdoin and Andover, he was
nastor of a Congregational church at Salem,
Mass Then. as ever afterward, an ardent
advocate of temperance, be published at
% a reputed dream, deacon Giles
Distillery," in which the liquors were
described as containing demons, and consti-
tuting an Internal pit. The article had wide
popularity in the form of a temperance tract;
deacon Gle was thought to be a wealthy
citizen, who was quite popular with a certain
class. Consequently, Cheever's skit excited
wrath against him among the common poo
nlo, who attacked him, and handled lin
roughly in the street. He was also tried for
libel and committed to Jail for thirty days
he has always taken profound pride in that
Imprisonment as the penalty for freedom OF
expression. For,the last twenty years he has
taken no part in public affairs, passing his
time among his books, and with some of bis
old friends. He has himself been a prolific
author, but has written nothing for a long
while. He is now 90, and wholly unknown
to tho rising generation.

they 60 jolting along OF the springs, and the
raw IriShman who sits just behind drives

In case lie has u full car of four passengers
he sits in the center, but if only one or two he
must take ono of the side seats or the car
would be unbalanced and go over at the first

These ~jaunting cor drivers are good fellows,

american ABOUT ten miles for 81. -, and when

upon, he seemed hardly able TO express his

fixed tariff of a ride from one point to another
for one or two persons, and two persons can

seen elsewhere in Europe and in America.

NEW YORK NOTES.
Probability That Mrs. Potter Will Adopt
the Theatrical Profession.
tspecrai correspondence,

NEW York, Sept. 2O.-From the many
stories aioat, all of them ~singularly con-
current, it appears entirely probable that
Mrs. James Brown Potter will soon adopt
the stage Us a profession. She has carried
amateur acting TO such extremes that there
will be very little difference between that
and entering the theatre regularly. She
has been as conspicuous through advertising
as she is ever likely to become, perhaps much
more SO. Amy and all pretense Of her pri,
vacy is palpably absurd under existing condi.
tons. She is rs much talked and written
about, commented Oh and pointed out as any
actress in the city. She knows it, too, and
enjoys it.; for vanity, however it may be dis.
guised, is one Of her leading traits. The
Browns and Potters, two of the most conser-
vative families in town, can hardly relish the
idea; but the change when it ONE will
scarcely be perceptible, and the lady herself
will be far more consistent as a complete pro:
fessional than as q professional amateur while
assuming to be strictly in private life. Mrs.
Potter is pretty and clever. As Cora Urgu-
hart, a native belle Of New Orleans, she was
much 1attered and had her own W =; and
she seems to have it still in the face { any
amount of orthodox and social opposi on.
Very few persons who remember the
Church of the Puritans in Union square, in
which the Rev. George B. Cheever preached
so ~eloquently and passionately against slavery
in the days before the war, have any idea
that it remains in the same form in another
quarter Of the town Tiffany's jewelry and
silverware establishment occupies its site.
1t was a familiar and pictorial structure with
its granite walls and clustering ivy, and was
remarkable for having one tower much
shorter than the other. The story is that,
while the building was contemplated, one Of
the members Of the Congregational society,
while travelling in Europe, was particularly
struck with a church in England. Having
some skill in drawing, and some idea OF
architecture, he made a copy Of the English
ediice on paper, brought it home, and it so
pleased the building committee that they sub

Dun1N. Sept. A-Landing at Queenstown,
I came at oaco to Cork, the third city Of ie-
land. aud the capital Of the south. IL Is
beautifully situated on the hanks OF the Lee,
and it is surrounded by a country rlcn anu
rolling. My guide book proudly says II mss
increased 1000 in the last ten years, n IL
has now q population Of 10000 people. Inc
streets of Cork are as irregular as those OF
Boston, but they are wider and better paved
ST Patrick's street, which Is the CHIEF one,
has some fine stores, and, commercially, IL
seems 10 be prosperouS The city IS a great
shipping port, and all the cattle, sheep ana
agricultural products of south Ireland are
sent from here to England. Ireland raises
the best meat in the world, though she Is 700
moor to eat it, and / saw sheep, COWS ana
horses by the hundreds driven through the
streets in front of my hotel, on their way to
the boats. Cork butter is advertised oil
through England and in the other Irlsn
cities, and the tweed mills at blarney, near
Cork, make some of tho best cloth made In
the kingdom. This tweed outwears the
Scotch make, and it is very cheap hero. A
rood suit of clothes, made to order, can De
got for from S12 to SIS, and l have seen adj
yertisementS in the tailors' windows onerlnS

There is little brick used here in building,
and the Cork business blocks lack the archl-
~tectural beauties Of an American street OF the
same sized city. Stone and stucco seem TO
prevail in building materials, and everything
Is massive and somber. The smaller houses
of the city, or the dwellings of the laboring
oIaSSes ara low one or two-Story houses, con-
tanning from one to four rooms, II having
no ornamentation whatever. These are built
in long blocks, and the better ones OF them
are coated with whitewash. The houses stand
close to the street, without gardens, and IN
the suburbs the chickens and geese and such
ether animals as the owner may he fortunate
enough to W share the hutS. The outside
of these houses arc rarely clean. They have
no yards, and the floors arc oftener OF dirt
than of stone or wood.
