One of the figures of the german FIJI
day night was distressingly suggestive
of the unattainable. The ladies were
seated with fish poles, and, in time to
the music, openly angled for one or two
men who knelt before each. 1t was

HOPPING MATCH.
A Rare Old Co ntest That Was Well
Hoped.

HOPpONs
London Sporting Life.
On the 18th of last month Jack Hat,
of Marylebone, and Edward Burke, of
Fulham, signed articles and ratified
match to hop fifty yards, level, for $40
a side, open for EGO side, on March 10,
but on Feb. 81 Hat. found his duties
would not allow him to compete on that
date, SO they mutually agreed to alter
the date to March 5, and compete for the
larger amount. In the presence Of
good attendance of spectators the event
was decided Monday.
John Hat was born March %, 1850, and
is therefore within a few days, as it
were, of completing his thirty-eighth
year. He is we'll known on the London
sprint tracks, and has competed in most
Of the handicaps for years.
Edward Burke, of Fulham, completed
his twenty fourth year on the I'd OF last
June, touches the standard at 5 feet 6
inches, and draws the beam at 9 stone
races for small sums, and about
five months since contended
against G.. Jones, of Fulham,
who endeavored to run 100 yards while
Burke hoped eighty-fve, for "a. The
match took place on Wimbledon COM
mon. and Burke won so cleverly that he
readily found hackers for the present
match. Last year, in receipt of four
teen yards from G. Pelham, he won the
first prize in 100 yards handicap on the
towpath at Putney, and this gave him a
reputation.
The sun shone out with great brill
fancy, and rendered the track rather
soft, but the middle portion being in
the best condition, was selected by the
attendants of the men, and having been
carefully measured under the superin-
tendence of the referee, the course was
rOped and Staked down the center by
Dave Garner and an assistant. Both
looked in capital condition as they toed
the mark, and the bulk of money was
at 96 to ga on the MarylebOne man.
Dave Garner sent them away to good
start, Hat getting very slight advan-
tage, which he had increased at half
way to yard and a half. Burke now
made a desperate effort to overtake his
opponent, but Hat passed the tape a
winner by two yards.

TIE INTISION OF MAINE.

Congressman Dnglcys views OF the Cana
dian invasion Of Maine are sagacious and
patriotic. He puts the responsibility for aggres-
siye competition with American railways on the
part of a subsidized foreign corporation where
il belongs-with the National Administration
and not with the State. Maine, like
cverv other State in the Union. had an I'M
questioned right to charter a railway running
from it's eastern to its western frontier ms
railway could legally be leased by or sold to
foreign corporation; and in this way 1t could
be converted into an important link In the
Canadian Pacific system. The privileges thus
acquired by the foreign corporation under the
operation Of State laws would not have been
abused if the National Administration had not
authorized the bonding of freight shipped by
the Canadian Pacific from ono point IN Amer
lean territory to another 1t is this privilege,
eyanted gratuitously to that corporation and in
The face Of the hostile action OF Congress in
abrogating Article xxx OF the Treaty OF
Washing ton, that has armed it with tremendous
power in competing with American continental
railway systems The Treasury Department
by its most unfortunate ruling has placed the
highest premiums upon foreign enterprise IN
constructing new railways across the frontier
and in forming connections with the Eastern
scaboard IF goods shipped in transit by tho
Canadian Pacific were liable to payment of duty
in entering American territory, there would be
less haste and greed in seizing upon bankrupt
State lines and completing them.
The Canadian Pacific. it must never be for
gotten, is a railway projected and completed
for political objects. 1t is essentially Gov
crnmcnt enterprise, organized for the purpose
Of artifcially binding together the provinces
in the Dominion Confederation. The corpora
ton received in subsidies. gifts and loans twice
as much aid from the Canadian Government
IA the American Pacific railways ever obtained
from the United States Government. No
corporation on the planet has been subsidized
to larger extent. and vet so unremunerative
has the enterprise proved. even with an cnor-
nous land grant and with exclusive
privileges in Canadian territory, that its re-
version TO the Government seems only CUES
ton Of time. This is the foreign monopoly
which the Democratic Administration has aided
and allotted in its warfare upon the transcon-
tncntal trade Of the United States. That Ad-
ministration allows the Canadian Pacific to cX-
tend its lines across the frontier and to enter
and re-enter American territory with the privi-
lcge Of carrying freight in transit. 1t grants
these tremendous favors in the face of the
DomniOns refusal to allow American railways
10 extend their lines into Canada or to transport
goods from one province to another. This
whole subject Ct the transit trade and The re-
,ations of the Government with foreign cor
porations should be investigated by Con-

and the president of this &" combine was asked
what he knew about it. He proved a pretty
Independent witness, and refused to answer
whenever he felt so disposed. The members
of the committee are probably fully informed
as to their rights and privileges. They should
not hesitate to probe this matter TO the bottom.
Mr.. Parsons, when called upon to testify, had
good reason for declining ON the ground OF his
position as counsel. Not so Mr.. Havcmeyer.
Let him be put on the stlnd again. The pubic
cannot know too much about the companies
that have formed an alliance to put up the price
of so necessary an article as sugar.
The decision of young IIofmanns father not
to permit the boy pianist to continue his public
performances on the ground that his health has
been impaired by the strain put upon him. JUS
titles the course of Mr. Gerry. a few weeks ago,
in insisting on having an examination OF tho
boy made by physicians selected by the Mayor.
There was some i'll grounded complaint at the
time that the Society for the Prevention oil
Cruelty to Children was exceeding its author
ity. Mr. Abbeys suit against Mr.. Hermann
for S57. 900 for breach Of contract and potential
losses will strike most people as queer pro-
cecding. The lad has excited extraordinary
interest and was, of course, valuable "attrac-
ton" but Mr.. Abbey will not find the public
applaudng his action. II the promise OF young
JIofmanns youth is fulfilled as he advances in
life, the world will be a great gamer by having
his musical education properly looked after.
II would be suicidal folly to impair his health
and ieopardizs his life by insisting that ne
