lice headquarters were then in the old
"tank," or, as it was more Familiarity
called the 'roOkery," the present site,
by the way, Of one of ChicagO's most
magnificent business blocks, which in q
spirit of cynical remembrance of its
shabby predecessor still bears the name
Of "The Rookery." How much Of Chi
cagos history was made within those
rickety old walls; what a resort it was,
the old City Hall, for thieves, politicians,
detectives. Adventures; how man con-
spiracies were Matched there, how many
crimes ferreted out! Locked up in many

Of news that Harry Weston strolled in
that Sunday afternoon by way Of the
blind alley on Clark street, near the
Grand Pacific. Only reporters, officers,
or fire-alarm operators used this passage

cut to the Department Of Police. The
day squad room was empty and cheer
less. 1t was here that the portly officers
who quad street crossings answered
roll-call and received their orders twice
a day; in the night it belonged to the
little band OF reporters who worked
through the small hours that the break
fast-tabes Of Chicago might be RECALLED
with the murders, assaults, fires, and ac-
cidents Of the hours Of darkness. Those
old Bohemian nights, with their Stories
their adventures, their riyalries in the
hot quest for news, their ever-varying
round of sights quaint, terrible, and
humorous-shall we forget them? No;
not though we tired on velvet carpets or
lounge in coy parlors, or taste after the
turbulent years the delights Of quiet
home life-which not many Of us do.

Some Clever Rowing and Quick
Time Made Yesterday.
The finest possible conditions charac-
terized yesterdays races of the Lurline
boat club at Lake Calhoun, Minneapolis,
yesterday afternoon. Three races were
rowed, and fast time made in all. The
best race of the day was that of the
junior fours for the Motor Line cup and
pair of yellow oars. The first crew
was composed Of W. A. Edwards, bow;
A. F. Pray, Q; w. Heffelfnger, 8; W. B.
Mclean, stroke. In the second crew
were II. G. Collins, bow; E. c.
Bonniwell, 2; Charles A. Will
Jams, 3: Don Fitzgerald, stroke.
Collins crew gained slight advantage
at the start, which they maintained till
near the finish. Two lengths from the
finish line, with lead of length,
Collins tainted dead away in his boat,
and before his companions could shove
their she'll across the line Edwards and
his men passed them and won by frac-
ton of length. Collins recovered
shortly. The winners time was SAT.
f. G. James and G. K. Taylor won the
junior double against w. B. GrOskOpf
and M. C. Homer. Their time was 1907.
The junior single was an easy conquest
for A. W. Daniels over GreskOpf. He
went over the course in 1898. Gros-
kopf was three seconds slower. The
remaining three races will be roWed
this evening at $50.

MINNEAPOLIS MOURNs,
Because TaiI-End Des Moines
Makes 1t Three Straight.

Makes 1t Three Straight.
Des Moines added the cap Sheaf to
the recent inglorious record of the Min
neapolis team by defeating 1t yesterday
for the third successive time, and
thereby sending her skating down an
other notch nearer fifth place. 1t was
indeed a bitter dose, and it seems all the
more so when it is considered that this
is the first time this season that the
Minneapolis team has lost whole Sc
ries of games on the home grounds. IG
was a lamentable exhibition of base
ball on the part of the locals. Duke was
effective. but at the same time very wild
rnd he folded his position in manner
quite awful to contemplate. Dugdale
let the balls pass him at the start as if
bewildered, Foster had hard work to
even catch fly ball, Hanrahan came in
for his usual break, and worse than all
no one could hit the ball at the right
time. The visitors on the other hand
played the same brilliant game as has
characterized the entire series, and while
they too were weak at the bat their few
hits were far more timely, and they
were quick to take every advantage OF
their opponents errors. They won the
game in the second innings. Traffiey
was given his base CD balls and Hart ad
vanced him to second with clean single.
Kennedy allowed his burly form to get
in the path of the ball, and the bases
were filled. Patton then lined ball
lust over Hanrahan's head, which just
filled the bill. Two men came in, and a
wild pitch allowed the third to score.
Maskrey flied out to Hudson and Patton
was declared out for leaving his base
before the ball was caught. Connell hit
safely in the ninth inning. Duke threw
wild to catch him mapping and advanced
him to third, and he came in on Traf-
ley's hit to right. Minneapolis scored
once in each of the first, second and
eighth innings, and though abundant
other chances were given to tie the
score they were not equal to it. Trait
ley's work at second was the feature of
the game. The attendance was close to
being the lighteSt of the season. Score:
