ITS SWAY STILL POTENT.

The attendance this year at the League
and Associations games was the largest
ever known in the annals of bsse-ba for a
Fourth Of July in the West and in the minor
leagues also the attendance was extremely
good. showing that the game has lost none
Of its intrinsic popularity as the National
sport, and that the gradual fan-off in attend
aace during the season so far has been due
TO causes other than dissatisfaction with
the game itself. A close estimate shows
that 5.0o0 people witnessed the fourteen
League ard Association games played on
Independence Day-44, 900 for the League
and about 81 900 for the Association The
Phllhcs at Chicago proved the best attrac-
ton. no less than 10000 persons paying fifty
cents each 70 see them PLAY. The New
York crab drew IA. 900 persons ia two games
at Detroit, aud tho Athletic club called out
1000 people TO see two games at St Louis.
In the Central League 1900 people paid
% witness the two Newark-Jersey City
games. and about 5000 saw the games of
the ether cl1os, a total Of p, 900. In the In
terns.i0ual Association the attendance was

Fashions In Boots ard Shoes.

The fashionable evening shoes DO not neces
sarily have very high heels, bat they all
have pointed toes. The new bows are made
simple and very close to the foot. Some Of
the bows are entirely covered with sp~ngles
in silver and gold, some with tiny diamonds
which sparkied and had good effect. The
shoes can be beaded TO copy the color or de-
sign Of any brocade, and iridescent beads
and metallic threads Of many tones are en-
pioyed Bridal shoes have diamonds, or the
semblance of diamonds, 1ntermixed with
pearls, or are worked in silver with designs
such as hlies Of the valley.
For house shoes Russian leather IN all its
colors is worn so that these shoes can match
the dresses
Numbered with novelties in out door shoes
are thnse made of glazed kid and patent
leather toes The goioshed Oxford tie is also
worn A decided novelty is the shoe made in
patent black leather and white buckskin
brogIied
With regard 70 boots, those with kid up
pers and patent leather vamps are much
worn; the toes must be pointed. Buttoned
cloth boots with kid or patent leather vamps,
are also in fashion, especially if the cloth up
pers match in color tho gown with which the
boots are worn
But there is another kind Of boot for which
women have a denand-viz, riding boots.
For the park, high Wellington patent leather
are worn; for hunting, the Bedford cord
tons. as then the habit will not ride up on
their account
