DARKNESS STOPPED THE STRUGGLE.
The second game was decidedly more
Interesting chan the first. Tuckerman
and Smith were the opposing pitchers,
and although the support of the former
was poor, he proved himself strong at
critical points, and it was not until
chance had been offered to retire the
side in the fifth inning that safe hit
was made by the home team. Phelan
got life on Picketts' low throw to
MorriSSy and advanced to second on
Sage's sacrifice and came home GU Hal
liday's double, the latter scoring on
Skaters single. Another run was made
in the sixth on an error of Morrissy
and Earle and Van Dykes hit. st.
Paul scored first in the third inning on
Tuckerman'S twO-bagger and Macul-
lars error; and in the fifth Reilly's sim
gle, Corbett's triple, and Tuckerman's
single sent in two men. In the last half
of the seventh Smith got hurt at the
plate and Hutchinson pitched out the
game. The feature of the game was a
brilliant double play by Macullar. Al
word and Phelan in the eighth inning,
when it looked as if the visitors would
score, but the game ended in a tie, be-
ing called on account of darkness.

to-day by fortunate punching of hits
in the eighth inning and some ragged

The Scotch Cutter Verve Easil!
Beaten by the Minnie NJ.

CHICAGO, Sept. lone of the most
interesting races that has taken place
here for years occurred to-day between
the American sloop yacht Minnie M
and the Scotch cutter yacht Verve.
The course was ten miles to windward
and return, and the Minnie M proved
an easy winner, beating her competitor
on every point and winning by about
% minutes. The race was the outcome
of the recent regatta at Mackinac, in
which the Minnie M was victorious.
Messrs. Stever and Sayer, the owners
of the Verve, were not satisfied and
challenged Capt. Prindiville, of the
Minnie NJ, Immediately on the return of
the yachts from Mackinac. This race
would seem to settle the question that
on fresh, as we'll as salt water, the cut
ter yachts of England and Scotland are
inferior to American sloops under any
conditions of sea and weather.

The most valuable Of precious stones
is the diamond-pure crystaiized car
bon-the most highly rcfract.ve aad the
hardest of gems, and the only one that
is combustibIe. This latter property
was discovered il 1851 by Cosmo III.
of Tuscany, who isnitod the diamond
with a burning glass; and later it was
found that when burned in a crucible
this gem converts iron into steel. The
diamond generally occurs as an octahc-
dron, and surpasses all other gems in
the property of dividing light into col
ored rays, causing that pccui1r fash Of

Diamonds are rated by the carat.
The term carat is derived from the
name OF certain small lcguminous seeds
which, when dried, are quite constant
in weight. They were used in India
for weighing gems.
In 1871 the syndicate Of Partisan Jew
elers, gold@mith' and gcm-dcalers sug
gested 205 Of a gramme "a the value Of
a carat; and this was confirmed il 1877,
all the leading diamond-dealers of Lon
don, Paris aud Amsterdam accepting it..
The English carat is equal to 8. 1858
plus grains Commonly rccko1ed as II
graiDs) troy, hence there are 153 carats
in an English troy ounce.
