A Letter Asking for Aid-The Losses in Sully County-One Hundred Farmers Left Entirely Destitute-Spring Rains Exting uishing the Ffres.

CHICAGO, April s.-The following letter from Dakota prairie fire sufferers was re- ceived at the Mayors office this morning:
 OUIDA, Sully County, D. T., April 5. To the Hon. Mayor and citizens of Chicago: The heaviest wind storm that ever visited central Dakota sprang up Tuesday forenoon, April 3, 1889, and about noon, when the wind was blowing at the rate of sixty miles an hour, three distinct fires started and swept over nearly the whole east end of Sully county. The fires travelled with the speed of an express train and nothing could be done to check their progress. It was only by herculean efforts that the back fires could be subdued. No reliable estimate of the damage can be arrived at yet, but at this date the losses in Sully county reported at Ouida are as follos: Twenty-Five residences, the occupants of which were forced to flee for their lives without having time to rescue any furniture or clothing; forty eight barns, the owners reporting that they were unable to save hay or grain; the seed for sowing all went up in smoke, as well as all the farming implements; twenty-five head of horses, thirty eight head of cattle, thirty one head of swine, four mules and six hundred head of sheep.
 This is only portion of the losses. One hundred farmers have reported with only one suit of clothes and no shelter save that furnished by those living Seyond the fire line. All who lived in the burned districts are without homes, farming implements or seed for sowing.
 If they receive help it should come short 1y, because the time is at hand for putting in the crops If any assistance can be rendered please send in care of the county commis sioners of Sully county.

THE BALL PLAYERS.

Jersey City Will Have a Club in Next
Years Atlantic Association.
The Atlantic Association will exist
next year and Jersey City will undoubt-
eddy have a club in the Association.
1t will have to be a good one TO keep
pace with the others, as the five clubs that
finished the season have reserved their
best players.
Counsellor James N. Braden and others
are now engaged in making preparations
to organize a club, but if u patriotic
and well to do citizens do not aid them
by investing in the stock the scheme will
fail and Jersey City, with it's population
of 5000 will not be represented in the
professional arena, and its rival. Newark,
the second city in the State, will have q
team; and such smaller cities as Lowell,
New Haven, Worcester and Hartford will
support clubs.
In fact, the directors of the New Haven
Club are anxious to enter the American
Association. The Atlantic Association
teams have reserved the following play

The first of the series of meetings of the

large sum of money changed hands on
the trot of the 2:45 class. On Wednesday
three heats were trCtted and Prince
Medium, Dave MucKle and Grover each
won a heat, Betting opened almost even.
The Prince was q slight favorite, as his
time was better by three second than
that of the others. Muckle became the
favorite after the first heat trotted yes
terday, the fourth in the race, as he went
under the wire first, with the Prince
second. The Prince then warmed up and
trotted the next two heats without a skip
and won easily.
The pacing race was completed and
MeGee's Magnet caughtthe heats straight
A match trot followed and Keach'S Gov

Big Bowling BY a New C1nb-The League
Meeting. Il
The Hudson County Amateur Bowling
League met at Odd Fellows Hall, Ho-
boken, last night. All the delegates were
present. No applications were received
and the League will proceed with the six
crabs. The schedule was not arranged,
but will be at the next meeting. which
will be held at the same place next Thurs
day night, when any clubs wishing to
enter will have their propositions consid-
cred before the schedule for the tourna-
ment is adopted. A committee consist
ing of one representative from each club
in the League was appointed to prepare
the list of games, places and dates. 1t
was decided to open the League games in
November.
The Sub Rosa Club was organized last
nue.. The officers chosen were.-Edward
Haines, president; Peter Doyle, treasurer;
M. j. O'Mara, secretary, and Thomas
Ouirk, captain. The club is limited to
twenty members and only four vacancies
remain. On the list are p. H. O'Neill, j.
P. Feeney, DIR. w. HI. Dimond, Charles
McNally, g. Garrettson, J g; Walsh G,
Donough, Thomas Nelson, William Pur-
cell and P. II. DAILY. They had their
initial bowl last night and made some
extraordinary scores. O'Mara, Doyle,
Garrettson, Quirk and McDonough got
up to the two hundred mark in every
game Many brilliant shots were made.
McNally and Walsh distinguished them
selves by an exhibition of curving the
ball as cleverly as a finger billiardist or a
professional baseball twirler.
In the games McNally bowled with his
left hand and thus handicapped himself
to make the score as near as possible
with his man on the opposite side. The
contest was SO exciting that several large
wagers were made. and after the club
bowling had finished a match game was
rolled. O'Mara won, with Doyle a close
second and McDonough a good third.
The club is so enthusiastic over the skill
of its players that it will at its next meet
ing consider the adyisahility of entering
the League. McNally suggested that at
the close of the season the boys ought to
astonish Europe by making a tour and
meeting all corners. The score of their
first game, furnished by the official
