Slight Accident on the Rochester
Railroad.

A freight car, loaded with lumber and
other freight, which was standing on the
Maine Central siding at Morrilps all ready
to be shifted on to the Rochester track,
through some cause unknown, happened to
be SO far forward on the siding Thursday
night that an edge projected on to the Roch-
ester main track. The special passenger
train from the Gorham fair came along about
eo'clock, and the engine struck the project.
ing end of the freight car with sufficient
force to damage the passenger locomotive
but not seriously-and knock lumber off of
the freight car along the track. The freight
engine brought the passenger train into the
city. The passengers, that did not care to
wait took the horse cars. No one was hurt.
Damage about $50.

their brothers on the diamond, demanded some
outdoor sports for themselves, and archery
and lawn tennis took on sudden popularity, one
to die out after brief but vigorous existence,
the other to keep on growing in favor. Gro
quet at one time served as a suitable vent for
the love of clergymen and professional men
for an outdoor game. and it is still in vogue in
many parts of the country.
Meantime the national game has been
steadily improving and enthusiasm for sports
is more general than ever before, and is still on
the rise. Nothing has been a more striking
demonstration of this than the cultivation of
two indoor games this winter-handball and
bowling. Handball is distinctly an Irish game
and though it has been played In this country
for many years, interest in it and knowledge of
it has been confined to a very, few Irish en-
thusiasts. 1t was not until very recently that it
could pretend to be se
A STANDARD SPORT,
because there were no championship series
played. The games that did take place were
between individuals; and seldom did report
get into the newspapers, or an audience gather
to witness the contest. Up to two years ago
there were only two, or possibly three hand
ball courts for the service of all the great pop
ulation included in New York. Brooklyn and
Jersey City, and they were seldom used. Now
more, and public matches are of frequent oc-
currence
A court is simply a large, very high room
with a floor of asphalt, or hard earth. At one
end of the room, the house wall unbrokeu by
windows or projections of any kind, rises to
height of from 80 to so feet according to the
size of the building, the builders purse 1t is
against this wall that the small ball used in play
is thrown. The sidewalks are also free from pro-
jections. At the back there is usually gallery
for the accommodation of spectators. The
floor is divided into two sections by line
drawn across the middle parallel to the wall
first described. The players stand on either
side of this line. There may be two or four
players in a match.
The ball is served with the open hand, not
thrown, and in general the design of the game
is to make the ball strike the front wall and
come back within the opponents section o the
floor in such way that it cannot be served back
before it has bounded twice. That is, the
ball may be struck with the hand while
it is on the first bound or on the
fly, but if the player fails to reach it be-
fore the second bound. he loses point. The
player who stands within the section of the
court nearest the main wall, serves the ball

Among the PuaiIists,

As spring time approaches pugilism seems to
be disappearing. The knights of the fistic art
are doing practically nothing, and even their
talking has subsidized to a wonderful extent
Almost the only two or three prominent feat
ures of the week have been Kilrain's resolve to
60 to England; Sullivan's spree and the match
ing of Murphy and Weir for the third time.
Jacob Kilrain has booked himself for the
land of Charley Mitchell and Jem Smith
and doubtless all three will have a merry and
profitable time of it, Kilrain's latest state
ment is to the effect that he will not go to
England if Sullivan will fight him in six weeks
This, however, will sound Just as effective and
as reasonable as saying six hours. 1 will not
six years. Every day he is giving proof
that he has not only lost his physical
ability, but that his frmnesss of mind is
weaker to-day than it ever was, and is still
getting more helpless. Recollections of times
of wealth and gayety, now that he is withouta
cent, cannot fail to impel him to deeper ex-
cesses even though he may try to struggle
against it. 1t would seem absurd for any man
or men to. risk 5000 or $4,000 on Suiiivan's
efforts in a prize fight for very long time to
come. at least. 1t seems that his hackers,
If such they are, have this opinion also,
because Sullivan, his trainer and one or more
of his hackers have had high old time of it
in New York curing the week. These facts
afford Kilrain plenty of reason for his resolve
to go to Europe. Even If Sullivan and his
hackers mean to have the fight take place Kill
rain in England can be as well pre-
pared to get into condition as Sui
iivan in America; besides the latter will
need vastly more training than Kilrain can
possibly require. Taking everything into con-
sideration, there is nothing strange about Kill
rains action. He has his eye on his intended
opponent, and common sense will allow him to
judge as to whether or not the latter means to
fight. At present the indications are that
Sullivan is not intending to take part in the
battle. 1t may be that the promoters of the
Weir and Murphy battle will be somewhat dis
appointed. These two feather weights have been
matched for the third time and the hitch has
always been regarding the receipts. Finally,
however, "Parson" Davies has matters ap-
parently satisfactorily arranged and the battle
is to take place within $50 miles of Chicago.
Without doubt that locality has been selected,
because of the financial success of the Nc
Auliffe-Myer affair. However, the miserable
termination of that contest may spoil the pros
poets OF the featherweights Certainly they
would not go SO far West if they did not expect
to realize big sum in the way of receipts.
However, both Murphy and Weir are fighters
from the word ''go," ana if they don't make a
mill desperate enough to give satisfaction to
onlookers we may give up hope of ever seeing
one. PRINGLE,

Advice to Breeder. of Trot.ers.

Secretary Fasig gives the following advice to
the owners of broodmares respecting the selec-
tion of stallion:
Don't breed to an unsound horse. Don't
breed to a pedigree alone. Avoid a lunk.
headed stallion, no matter what his breeding
I'm such case the pedigree is the tail and it
wags the horse-you want a horse that can wag
his pedigree.) Don't breed to horse that
can't trot himself, but depends entirely on the
performance of some relation for his reputa-
ton. A horse cannot transmit power he does
not himself possess. There are many stallion q
parading under fashionable pedigree land
''number'') that can't trot as fast as pig can
swim. A horse that is bred to trot and cannot
trot, cannot do what he is bred to do, and is
therefore fraud and failure.
Breed to horse that is good himself; that
can trot himself; that is trotting bred through
proved trotting lines; handsome horse-one
from handsome family-a good-sized, good
colored, good-gaited one. Find the stallion
that combines all these qualities in the greatest
degree-then breed to him-let your neighbor
breed to theory only-you stick to reality and
what your common sense tells you is right; and
when the test comes you will find that your
reality gets the money from your neighbor's
theory every time.
Use your own judgment; don't be unduly in
huenced by visionary theorists, whether they
write for the papers or talk stud horsen on
the street corners many of whom scarcely
know whether 8 horse should be fed oats or
broom handles, or whether to put the crupper
of a harness over trotters ears or under his
tail.-SpoTtsn1Gr.
