MODERN COURTSHlP.
Tho Scientific Way in Which 8 Now For
 Man Won D Sweetheart.

Tho Scientific Way in Which Now York
 Man Won a Sweetheart.
 There is girl of astonishing loveliness who has just become engaged to middle aged member of a certain yacht club, and if can believe the story that heard from the unsuccessful rival of the yachtsman in the race for the sweet creature's favor, the prize was won in decidedly unique and ingenious way, writes New York corre- spondent. The successful suitor owns a large steam yacht and also small racing cutter. On one recent afternoon when there was smart breeze blowing he had @ little company take a spin with him down the bay aboard the cutter. The beautiful prize made ono of the party, and merry in- deed was the dash out to sea and return, to the jolly tinkle of ban jos and the pleasant refreshment of champagne1uncheon. As tho cutter bobbed up the bay and into smooth water the company was sprinkled about the deck talking and singing and hay ing a generally good time. The beau- tiful girl was lying back against the mainsail near the mast, listening to the compliments of the owner of the cutter, who stood just forward of the mast. Sud- denly, and before any warning could be given, the man at the tiller permitted the boat to luff. That brought the main boom round with rush. The beautiful girl was swept without any shock whatever clean of the rail, and dropped with splendid splash into the water. Without hesitation the yachtsman jumped over the side, and soon had the spluttering girl grasped tightly in his arms. In less time also than it takes to tell it the boat was rounded up alongside of them, and they were lifted dripping to the deck.
 'It was an act of inhumanity and fool hardness" said the young fellow who lost the girl. 'The old fox was willing to risk Der life in order to place her under obliga- tions to him. But it Is just here. She has promised to marry him, but shall be with in hailing distance of her, and if don't break the match then I'll stay bachelor the rest of my days. I have one last re- sort when I can't win her by honest atten- tions."
 "What is thatr' inquired. startled at the insinuation.
 "I own that man at the wheel who let the boat Huff. got him place on the yacht of friend of mine, and I'll pay him hundred dollars if find that his testimony is needed"
 It looks very much as though courtship in these latter days was developing into 8 science

may not like to lag in the rear, and can
only run when kept at the head of a
division. One colt may run better with
twelve horses in race than with SIX.
A colt may not run so we'll in cloudy
weather as in sunshine, and another
may run well in all sorts of weather.
This is especially true of the stable
that has a dozen entries in nearly all
the stakes, and under such conditions
the trainer is the one whose judgment
is relied upon in selecting the particu-
lar representative of stable for race.
In these days, when stakes run in value
as high as $4,000 and seldom below
$1,000, capable and alert trainers are
worth large salaries, and, as rule, 1t
must be said that those who train
American thoroughbreds are domestic

King Thomas has not been doing as
much work as at least two tillies in the
Hearst stable. Advices from all the
racing centers indicate extraordinary
activity, and everything seems to point
to the fact that the running season of
1889 will be conspicuous for some of the
greatest running events of the century,
not the least of which will be the mag
nifcent contests at Hamline in the last
week of July.

GIUSEPPE ESPOSITO.
The American Career of a Brigand
Who Was the Terror of Sicily,

Who Was the Terror of Sicily.
Louisville Courier Journal
The young son of famous Italian
bandit has met with very unromantic
fate in New Orleans. Giuseppe Espo-
sitO, many years ago, was the bold and
successful leader of band of brigands
in Italy, where his many exploits had
gained for him a European reputation
and invested his name with q terror to
all travellers in the mountains of Sicily.
To the qualities which have been as
cribed to the outlaw in song and story,
he added those of cruelty and blood
thirstiness, and the unlucky captive who
fell into his clutches, if not redeemed
by ransom, paid the penalty OF
heartless opposite pursued his career of
robbery and murder against his fellow
cOuntrymen unchecked, but finally
aroused the wrath of John Bull, an act
which has always been hazardous in
either an individual OF nation. He
seized an English traveller one day, and
after due notice and proper waiting the
stock of the bandit camp had not been
increased by as much as single plaster
on account of the last adventure. One
of the prisoners ears was then sliced
off and forwarded to his friends, and
this in turn was followed by its fellow
useful and ornamental appendage. But
by this time the British government
had been notified, and such demand
made on the Italian authorities that
Esposito'S gang was quickly dispersed,
and he was apprehended and impris-
oned. Escaping, he fled to America.
and from New York went 10 New
Orleans. In the latter city he
shortly manifested his lofty con-
tempt for honest pursuits by be-
coming chief of society of blackmail-
ers, an occupation hardly as genteel as
the one he had followed in his native
land, but less dangerous. 1t was not adj
venturous enough. though, and before
long he got TO be captain of small
coasting vessel. marrying in the mean
time pretty young girl of his own
race. A reward was out for him, though,
by the Italian government, and in 1880
Detective HenneSsey, now the chief Of
police of New Orleans, arrested him.
He was sent back to Italy where he was
tried. twice sentenced to be hung, and
finally sent to prison for life. The wife
was left in New Orleans, with an infant
son of Esposito'S. Last week she APP
piled to the mayor to have the boy, J0-
seph, and a younger child placed in an
orphan asylum, as she could not support
them, and it was done. Should the
news penetrate to the Sicilian dungeon
of opposite, the reflection that his child
will at least be comfortably cared for
will tighten a little his dark and re-
Yengeful heart.

SUCCESS OF THE sTRANGLER.
Evnn Lewis Defeats ID. A. Nc
MILAN at Catch-as-Catch-Ca Can
Wrestling,

Wrestling.
The wrestling match at the new Tur-
ner hall last night between Evan Lewis.
'The Stranger" and Dan A. Mcmillan
for $3.50 and the receipts of the house,
was one of the finest exhibitions of
catch as-catch-can wrestling ever
seenin st. Paul The house was
not so we'll filed as might
have been expected, taking into consid-
Grafton the prominence of the men, and
certain is it that the match was con-
Quoted Oh the square; that the men did
their best, and the match was won by
Lewis on his merits. After the usual
preliminaries Harry HOtaling, the we'll
known wrestler, was chosen referee.
Advancing to the fron mt of the stage.
Hotaling announced the conditions of
the match, and emphasized the
fact that the match was a
square one, and that the best
man would win. When the men APP
peared at their respective corners in
charge of the seconds. it was at once
apparent that Lewis stripped the better
of the two. although Mcmillan also
looked well, and had the advantage in
the first bout that Mcmillan was the
cleverest man of the two. The first
bout occupied one hour and fifty
minutes, and lovers of square sport,
never had better opportunity of JUS
tifying their tastes IN that direction
tumbled to the fact that his hitherto
deadly strangle hold was no use in this
case, and that he must rely on his
strength and science to win, aside from
the trick which has downed so many
men, and gained him his title. In this
bout, Mcmillan repeatedly got full
Nelson hold on Lewis, from which he
as often broke away. On numerous oc-
caSiOnS each man was on the point of
the advantage would be cleverly
broken by the other. After an hour and
fifty minutes of very hard work McMil-
Ian won a fall on full Nelson. When
the men appeared for the second bout,
after an interval of twenty minutes, it
was apparent that Lewis was quite
fresh. while Mcmillan was winded. The
hard work of the first bout had told on
Mcmillan. who is, undoubtedly, the in
ferior in physique of his opponent, and
Lewis, by clever trip. got fall to his
credit in exactly two minutes. A few mo-
mentS after the men had retired from the
second bout, Lewis sent word to his op-
ponent that he wished to continue the
match at once, and dispense with the
twenty-minute interval. This, however,
Mcmillan refused to accede to, claiming
| the full time allowed by the terms of
| the agreement. The outcome of the
match shows plainly that Lewis Is su-
| perior TO Mcmillan in endurance, while
the latter can give the former points In
science. Mcmillan had expended his
resources in the first bout, and had but
| very little left in him for the remaining
trials of strength, The third bout was

fourth in ten minutes by an overlook,
which took McMillans' friends very
much by surprise. Those who witnessed
