Seventeen more OF the gang are now in

THE SILVER MEN.
Free and UnltIatted Coinage, the
Universal war Cry.


Universal war Cry.
DENVER, November 13.-As the silver
convention progresses it increases in in
terest. Delegates keep pouring in, and
it is a novelty to seq people of all politi-
cal faiths working hand in hand ON any
particular question. "Free and unlim-
tied coinage" is the war cry, alike Of
Repu blicans, Democrats and Prohibition
lists. The fact that the people of st. Louis
saw fit to take the initiative in this move,
has worked to its good, in that resolu-
tions were adopted today favoring that
place for the Worlds Fair. Another
resolution adopted recommends Congress
to provide for the coinage Of at least $4,-
600 900 of silver each month, Judge
Symes and several other gentlemen have
made eloquent speeches. 1t is not
likely the convention will conclude its
labors before tomorrow night.

The PrOp0siGtOBS Which That
Country VII submit.

WASHINGTON, November 13.-The at
tention of II. A. p. Garter, Hawaiian
Minister, recently returned to Washing
ton after visit to his home in Homo
lulu, was called to what was telegraphed
from San Francisco, on his arrival there,
concerning the future diplomatic and
treaty relations between the United
States and his government. Carter re-.
Piled there was desire on the part Of
his government for closer relations be-
tween the Hawaiian Kingdom and the
United States.
The Minister was asked If anything
had been done officially to formulate such
arrangements with his country. Carter
replied: 81 have not yet formally pre-.
sented our propositions to the Secretary
of State, but expect TO do 80. The prop
ositions will be four-first, ,sthe contin-
uance OF the present treaties in
force, and making them termin-
able only after mutual con-
ference instead of one years persmpt
ory notice by either party; second, that
each country shall treat the articles
which, under the reciprocity treaty it
admits free of duty, precisely as if the
proposition originated in the country 80
admitting them; third, providing that
whenever Congress shall so desire an ex-
tension Of the principle of reciprocity in
trade, it may be made even to the extent
Of abolishing all the duties between the
two countries except upon such articles
as opium and gpirits; fourth, that the
United States guarantee the independ-
ence OF Hawaii, and to enable her to do
this without danger of complication,
Hawaii agrees to make no treaties with.
out the knowledge of the United States.

reasons why these propositions shCuld
take the form Of 8 treaty engagement.

MIR. Gilbert's career was 50 long a one that
even a catalogue of his engagements would
30 too voluminous for a short sketch. In
1862 he joined Wallack's company in New
York and remained in that city during the
rest of his professional life.
OF the many characters which lie took he
preferred Sir Peter Teazle, Sir Anthony Alb
soiute, Lord Ogleby, John Thornberry and
Old Dornton. The fame of his Sir Anthony
Absolute entities it to be placed at the head
of the list 1t is difficult to believe that the
cholerio old Englishman ever had a better
representative. His figure, his face and his
voice fitted the part exactly; the naturalness
of his choleric outbursts was extraordinary;
the dryness of his humor perfect, and his
whole carriage an absolute reproduction of
the old time manner.
Ills Sir Peter was companion piece OF
almost equal merit, but inferior. 1t was a
little deficient in polish. The ideal Sir Peter
ought to have an air more courtly than that
which Mr.. Gilbert impaired to him; but per-
haps even this objection is open to the charge
of hypercriticism. By way of contrast with
the explosive Sir Anthony take Old Dornton,
in ''The Road to RUM No mora perfect
picture of probity, benevolence and tender
ness could be imagined. There is almost as
much pathos in the old mans honest out
bursts Of Indignation as in his moments OF
forgiveness and reconciliation.
During the early days of his career Mr.
Gilbert appeared in New Orleans. He has
related an incident that occurred during his
stay in the Crescent city.
He bod been assigned to the important role
of Sir Frederick Vernon in Rob Roy" He
knew his lines perfectly, but when he went
upon the stage and attempted to speak he
could not utter word The air grew black
and he became faint almost to the point of
falling Then the audience began to hiss.
This, in a measure, restored him to his senses.
but at best he could only humble through
the part, and he retired from the scene dis
heartened and mortified. It is said to be the
first and only time during his long career
that he ever forgot his part or was Kissed by
an audience.
Immediately afterward he redeemed him
self by the admirable manner in which he
acted an old man, a very strong part, in a
piece called "The May Queen" and it was on
this occasion that the natural bent Of his tai
emit was first displayed. Thereafter he ap-
peared constantly in the characters of old
men, and made rapid advances in professional
reputation. For five years he Travelled in the
south and southwest, undergoing discomforts
and making shifts of which even the modern
barn stormer has but the faintest conception,
but constantly adding to his experience and
self confidence, until he finally made his way
back again to Boston and procured an en-
gagement at the fremont theatre.

eternal search Tor the dolce far nIenteI there
is a vast deal of energy and vivacity. which
breaks out in their sportive moods
1t will surprise most people to be told that
to the Italians. we are in reality indebted for
our tennis, racket, lawn tennis and fives, and
that pallcne, the game from which all spring,
is the connecting link between the crude ball
games of the ancients and the games we at
present amuse ourselves with. The racket
was developed cut of glove, and all the
large ball games played by the Romans by
| being struck with the arm protected by a
bracer, precisely us the game now about to
be described is played
To play pallone properly an open air court
is needed of smooth and level surface 1t
should be about 900 feet in length, with lines
marked upon it as upon lawn tennis ground.
The court should lie east and west, and along
its whole length there must be a wall Of about
thirty feet in height. The game being Il sum-
mer recreation, the court should liz east and
west so that the wall will throw shadow by
which the players are protected Palione
can be played without this wall, but it is not
then the perfect game, since the boosting"
that can be accomplished ''oT" it is very
important.
Liz tOul II OiNNlSu lnlO Two uUCtludl
parts, one being ten feet longer than the
other, At the very extreme end of this,
what is called la battuta platforml is
placed, and when the court is properly con-
structed this is on the western side. On this
side planks are placed, one end of each plank
being elevated from the court, after the fash
ion of spring board
The ball is large one, weighing twelve
ounces, and perfectly inflated, so that it is
very lively in movement and rebound. The
initiation is point of the utmost Importance,
as any ''deadness is destructive to the game
In Italy, during the progress of a game of
pallone, assistants known as pallonari are
constantly busted in initiating balls not in use
because the violence of the blows very soon
deadens their vitality.
The ball is struck by an instrument known
as the bracciale, stout wooden cylinder
having at one end a cross piece, which is
grasped by the hand after the forearm has
been thrust down the bracciale, which is
covered with faceted studs that get grip
of the ball. The bracciale weighs about four
pounds, and in consequence a tremendous
blow can be dealt with it.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-07-24

The players are three in number, divided
into one forward and two backs, who are Sc
lected as the best and called print. These
players stand ON the respective sides of the
dividing line, which may be on the ground,
or raised, as at tennis, and known by the
names, cordino basso and alti, respectively.
One of the players, the mandarino, on the
battuta side, mounts one of the boards and
prepares for run. When ready he rushes
down the decline at high speed, and as he
reaches the ground he is fed" with the ball,
which he strikes with his full force. No rule
of the game compels the one who feeds the
mandarino to be player, and the acceptance
or rejection OF ball is entirely optional, and
he will not receive it unless it is delivered in
exactly the way he desires. A good manda-
rino will, by preference, 'take" ball at
about two feet from tho grounnd. Having
accepted it, with no limit to the number of
refusals to do so, the great point he strives to
attain and herein lies the mandarino's skill
is to drive it in one vigorous flight beyond
the base line of the other side. His favorite
first stoke is close to the wall, where primo
battitore has to take it back handed-a by no
means easy task.
A ball is generally taken on the volley, be-
cause it is very difficult to return if it is al
lowed to bound. If the mandarino succeeds
in sending the ball with which he is first
fed" beyond the base line of the other side,
he scores point, but easy rs this may appear
in description, it is SO difficult that it is sell
Iom accomplished
A fault is served if the ball should land out
side the line parallel to the wall, and it is
called the fallo.
The game goes on as in tennis, point
being scored when the ball is not returned by
the other side, or when returned out Of court,
except in the case of volata. As In tennis,
the score is fifteen, thirty, forty and game.
This is the game of pallone, as played by
the Italians and now being introduced to the
notice Of our athletes. Doubtless it will be
changed in detail as players become acquaint-
ed with its general principles and character
istics. In some instances, indeed, already a
hard ball has been substituted for an inflated
one, but this is injudicious on many accounts.
and the number OF players has been increased
from three to five, but rs SUGGESTIONS from
the opposing sides can be brought up tbs
number of participants in pallone will be sug-
gested by the popularity the game attains.
If clubs are formed the number can be very
materially increased, and there is always a
chance for pre-eminence among players.
Until experts arise, it will be best to ad-
here as closely as possible to the pure Italian
method There is in this game every oppor-
tunity for the display of Hghtness, quickness
and great muscular development, and as it is
most exciting sport it is sure to attract
crowds of curious spectators. The changes
in method, as regards detail, will not in any
way diminish the attractiveness of pallone.

PALLoNE, THE NEW ATHLETIC GAME

PaIlonaccio according to the italian die
