JACKS COSTLY RIDE.
An English Tar Mounts the Bronze Steed
Of Peter the Great.

An English Tar Mounts the Bronze Steed
of Peter the Great.
Among the most famous ''sights" of
st. Petersburg is a fine equestrian statue
in bronze of its renowned creator, Peter
the Great. The figure-which stands
on the left bnnk of the Neva, opposite
the Senate House-is appropriately
mounted on huge block of grey granite
from East Finland, which was one of
Peters first conquests. The great Gar
is represented as sitting erect on rear
ing horse, and pointing with his right
hand to the spot on the opposite bank
where he built with his own hands in
1904 the first house of his new capital,
while beneath his horses hoofs lies
crushed the serpent that typiies the
grovelling ignorance and superstition
which impedsd his grand designs. Now,
it happened that one cold autumn night
an English sailor, who had just landed
from a newly arrived cargo steamer,
was strolling back across the Senate
House-square, and, as his ill-luck would
have it, stopped to take a passing look
at the imperial statue. "Well, if that's
the thing they make such a fuss about,
l don't think much of it," cried Jack, dis
painfully. "It's nothing like so big as 1
thought twas. Why; Icould climb to the
top of it myself; and l will, too" No
sooner said than done. Over the ratings
went bold Jack, and, clawing hisaway
nimbly up the roughened surface of the
granite pedestal, he succeeded in clutch
ha toi Of hn ND 1,
that of the horse, and found himself in
a trice astride of the latter, close behind
the bronze figure of the Gar. So far so
good, but just at that critical moment
the moon clouded over, and poor Jack
could not see how on earth to get down
again. What was to be done? To stay
where he was perched on that cold
bronze would be little better than sui.
cido on such bitter night. To descend
would be TO risk breaking his neck OF
limbs; and to call for help would de.
liver him OF once into the hands of the
police. But the question was unoxpect.
eddy settled for him. His muttered ex-
clamations OF dismay caught tie quick
ears of passing patrol, who at once
turned their lanterns upon the monu-
ment, whence the sounds appeared to
issue, and, discovering Master Jack in
his elevated position, promptly sent for
a ladder and hauled him down. A night
in the tehast (police lock-up) rewarded
oul hero's exploit, and the next morn
ing stern-faced Project of Police sem
fenced him to a fine which left poor
Jacks pockets as empty as his head,
silencing the culprit's remonstrances by
saying, with grim smile-'if you will

THE TOMS RIVER CRAB.
He Was without Doubt the John L.
Sullivan of His Tribe.

He Was without Doubt the John l..
Sullivan of His Tribe.
One day early in the season I caught
couple of crabs in the inlet as speci-
mems. and having put both in the same
bottle was treated to one of the pretti-
est fights you ever saw. The hint was
too good to be lost, and for the last
three weeks crab fighting has been the
hobby at this quiet seaside resort.
Every man, woman, boy and girl, al
most without exception, has had his or
her fighting crab, and the matches have
been numerous and for blood. You can't
put up job with a crab. He goes in
for a knockout, and he stays until the
victory is awarded.
It's funny thing about these ditch
crabs Take two from the same colony
and they won't fight. Pick up one here,
and go down the ditch hundred feet
and pick up second, and they'll fight
at the drop of the hat. The contests
take place on the board walk or veranda.
Your crab is carried to the scene in
bottle, and before being emptied out is
shaken up to arouse his dander. The
pair are no sooner dumped out than
they clinch and the fun begins. There is
no let up until one or the other turns
tail. For many days man from Buffalo
had the John L. Of crabs. He was no
larger than many others, but he was a
right and left-hander, and the way he
did knock all corners out was a caution.
] saw him win five straight matches in
single day and the gate money was S.
each time. At length fellow came up
from Toms River to make match. He
also had champion crab, and match
for S25 was soon arranged. 1t took place
on the floor Of a pavilion, with a hundred
spectators present, and most of us backed
our home crab for at least half dollar.
When all were ready they were
dumped out about ten inches apart, and
each squared off at once. They were
about of a size, ard seemed to be of the
same species, and we looked forward to
at least fifty rounds. Alas! However,
they were yet sparring for an opening
when our Beach Haven crab suddenly
turned tail and ran away. The other
pursued him and mauled him all over
tho ring, and the referee decided against
u.s. The Toms River man coopered
about $50 on that brief fight, and two
hours later, when found him alone on
the sands, asked him to give it away.
For how much?" he queried.
"Say S."
"Hand it over. Now, then, just be.
fore you bring your crab to the ring side
dampen his claws with turpentine. The
smart of it not only gets his mad up, but
the smell scares the other crab out Of
his boots Go thou and lay for suckerA !"
