CUBAN GIANTS WON.
The Home Team Piles Up Errors and
Loses.

''Why don't the Wilmington learn how
to play ball2' was the inquiry of many
spectators at Saturday afternoons game.
The Cuban Giants won the game
through the listless and poor work OF the
home club The visitors played a strong
game and were at times brilliant. Will
mington began nicely by scoring one IN
the first inning. but the visitors did Ike
wise Both drew blanks in the second,
and the scores laid another goose egg
down for the home team in the third.
Then the Cuban Giants went to bat and
won the game. By two singles and one
double hit and four errors the Giants
scored five runs. Knox and Morrell para
lived their good work Of the day before
by rotten errors. johnson scored on a
poor throw of Baxter's The visitors
scored three more runs In the fourth in
ming and then were held down by Baxter
to no runs for the succeeding three in.
nings. In the ninth they found the ball
and batted it for four runs
The home team got two men over the
plate in both the fourth and fifth innings,
and three in the sixth. They made but
one hit off Baxter after that and failed TO
score Both pitchers were finely sup
ported and both did good work. A big
crowd was present. The game was pro
tested by the Cuban Giants ON a decision
of the umpire in the seventh
inning. Frye knocked a ground
ball to Neister, who juggled
it on the ground for a moment and then
apparently picked i5 up and touched the
base Umpire O'Dea declared the runner
out. Then there was a kick The Giants
| cIainad that Npister dia not have thf

sale since April and find that without
doubt they are the simplest, most stylish
and the best fitting pattern yet produced
We can heartily endorse them. Dress
makers prefer them to all others, claiming
a saving Of time, less trouble and good fit.
In answer to many queries we will say
that those who have tried them speak in
the highest terms and many ladies praise
them Of their own accord.
For ourselves, we can say that the way
they have been selling is very gratifying,
and our increased trade in them warrants
for them a successful future. They are
now being used extensively in all the large

BootbIack. Reaulre CanIta.

1T requires capital now TO become
a first class bootblack," said a ragged
little, dirty faced polisher on Park
row Until the past four or FIVE year,
the shines were distributed wholly by
q miscellaneous assortment Of ragged
little darkies, who had no regular run
OF custom. Not more han one was
permitted on a corner, or four at the
Intersection of two streets, and one on
either side in The center of the block.
They were required TO bring written
permission from the owner of the
premises before which they desired TO
stand.
This brought a revolution in the
bssiness OF backing. The possession
o permanent stands in which they
cc,,ld not be- disturbed as loug as they
behaved themselves led 10 the pur
chase OF chairs and an outfit when
formerly would have been too bulky
TO carry about Some of them have a
platform, studded as the taste of the
magnate suggests, with brass nails,
and prettily carpeted with Brussels
The box contains half a dozen brushes
of various sizes, two or three kinds of
blacking and a bottle Of water. The
outfit costs considerable for a boot

A Horses suic,a-.

The horses moved along the edge Of
the crag as though they chung TO it,
their bodies aslant towards the wall Of
granite on their right their legs NOV
ing with the precision of creatures
feeling and grasping every step. Like
deer they moved-not like horses
and as they advanced the carts they
drew swaycd behind them, and /
thought every jolt would hurl them
over the precipice. Fascinated |
watched-l could not choose but
watch.
At last came a gray horse, not draw
ing a cart, but carrying something on
his back-on a pack saddle, apparent
ly. Like the rest, he came on stealth
lily, shifting every inch of the terrible
way, until, Just at the worst and gid
diest point, he paused, hesitated and
seemed about to turn. Isaw him back
himself in a crouching attitude against
the wall Of rock behind him, lower
ing his launches and rearing his head
in a strange manner. The idea flashed
on me hat he would certainly turn,
and then-what would happeni
More horses were advancing, and
two beasts could not possibly pass each
other on that narrow ledgel But wai
totally unprepared for the ghastly
thing that did happes. The miserable
horse had been seized with the awful
mountain madness hat sometimes
overtakes men on stupendous heights
the madness Of suicide. With a
trightful scream that sounded partly
like a cry Of supreme desperation,
partly like Of furious and frenzied
JOY, the horse reared himself to his
full height on the horrible ledge, shook
his head wildly, and-leaped with a
frantic spring into the air, sheer over
the precipice and into the foam be-

A Shark Killed By Tobacco.

In a short time we had caught a
nice mess OF small snappers, from
ten to thirty inches long, and
We were having a real good
time. We had not fished very long.
however, before a large shark put in
an appearance and stopped our sport.
W. first knew Of his presence by his
greedily swapping OFF the fish from
one Of my neighbours lines, having
followed it up from the bottom. He
executed this performance several
times, and then the snappers stopped
biting entirely. Not even a nibble
could we get, so we hauled in our
lines and commenced 10 pay our at
tentions TO the shark.
He was a monstrous fellow about
fifteen feet long, and he kept swim
ming round and round the vessel,
sometimes on top al the water and
sometimes down deep below us. but
always at a respectful distance. His
reddish brown body could be plainly
seer through the clear transparent
green water, and you may be sure
that he was the cynosure Of all eyes.
A great many plans for his capture
were discussed, but none appeared
practicable within our limited means.
The engineer suggested that If the
shark would give him time he would
forge a proper hook and chain, but
as the shark was unable TO give him a
guarantee he abandoned the project.
While we werethustalking, noticed
the native pilot every now and then
throwing overheard one Of the snap
pers we had SO recently caught, and as
the current carried it a little distance
clear Of the vessel the shark would
gobble it down, and, in fact, the il.
iervals were so regular that Mr.. Shark
seemed impatient when the regularity
was broken by a little delay. We saw
that our pilot had some ultimate OBJ
ject in view and il drew our attention
TO him. As he was born and raised on
this coast and had probably served his
pilots apprenticeship as a fisherman,
he knew how TO deal with his inveter-
ate foe, the shark.
After having thrown over ten small
Ssh he selected another a little larger
than the others and with a stick Of
wood rammed a roll of chewing to-
oacco, nearly as large as a mans hand,
down into its belly and pressed its
throat together again. He held il
ready TO throw, and as the shark came
up, a~nxiously looking for his fish, he
tossed it to him, and as il barely
touched the water the shark turned
over on its back and sucked it in. The
shark then swan off as usual TO the
side of the vessel and then below us,
and was apparently rising again in ex-
pectation Of another fish when the mic
otine commenced its work. His strug-
giles and contortions were terrible TO
behold, as he darted here and there in
a blind rage and vomiting blood, but
as he swan or was carried by the cur
rent away from us his struggling
grew gradually less until il ceased al.
together. The tobacco had killed him.
