SO great was the demand for this months
outing in Washington that not copy of it
could be procured at the book stores the day
after 1t reached here. That was due to the fine
illustrated article on "Athletics in Washington
which it contained. The article was from the
pen of Mr. Herbert Jauvrin Browne, formerly
the bright gossper of the Post now one of the
editors and proprietors of the Roanoke Times
1t is admirably written in Mr. Brownies we'll
known clear, nervous style, and the subject is
fully and intelligently handled. Among the
illustrations are pictures of the Columbia Ath-
letic Club House, the Capital Bicycle Club
House, and portraits of President Hood, of the

BASE BALL.

Well, the season, disastrous to many, is over,
and managers are picking berries.

crippled Athletics, of Philadelphia
When does that game take place between the
Potomac and Columbia Athletics? The season
is fitting away.

AS an attraction for the athletic meeting of
the present week the Columbia Athletics have
arranged game for next Friday with the Man
haitian Athletic team, of New York. The game
will take place on Analostan Island, and will
be stubbornly contested, as the teams are about
evenly matched.

Syracuse will be dropped from the ranks of
the American Association, and its place will be
filled by Washington. President Won der Abe
really preferred Washington to Baltimore this
season, and but for the unfortunate legal mud
die precipitated by the Atlantic Association ex-
periences a club would have been organized this
season.
The sensation of the week has been the veriti-
cation of the rumor that the Cincinnati Club in
tended next season to affiliate with the Brother
hood, thus giving the League blow right be-
tween the eyes. President Sterns says the dcker
is closed, and as the Brotherhood have given
him his price the transfer will be made.
On Tuesday last an interesting game took
place on the grounds at Third street and New

the Y. M. G. A., resulting in victory for the
Carriers by score of 5 to 4. The contest was
exciting, and was won by the superior batting
of the men who hustle around with our mail
The pitching of Rebstock, the batting and
catching of Bishop, and the fielding of Denni-J

excellent.

BATH, August 21.-David T. Percy VS..

The plaintiff, who is engaged in business In
this city in his individual name and also as

Son and David I. Percy 81 Son, sought to
recover an account for dry goods, amounting
TO S28.66, sold by himself, and for accounts
for goods sold by d. T. Percey g. Son and
David t. Percy g. Son to the amount of
1872 II and $90.3i, respectively. and Owen,
Moore 81 Co., of Portland, to the amount of
$13227, these supplies being furnished for a
store at Georgetown in this county. The
last three claims were held by the plaintiff
under assignments from the above named
firms
The defendant admitted the sale and de-
livery OF the goods, but claimed that all,
with the exception of the plaintiffs indiyi-
dual bill, were purchased by her as the agent
OF Byran M. Rowe. her husband, whom she
alleged. was running the store. The de-
dividual account was for articles for use in
the family, and that for this bill her husband
was legally responsible. The defense
further contended that the three assign
ments, alse dated prior to the time of bring
ing the action. were, in fact, executed subse-
quent to that time and were therefore,
invalid.
Verdict for the plaintiff for 1856.

Boarded BY a Cat.

1t is well known that some of our fisher
men go out nights from this port, distance
of fifteen or twenty miles, and set their
travis. The other evening one of our fisher
men ad an odd experience. Mr.. Ennis of
Cape Elizabeth, was out about fifteen miles
in his Hampton boat, with his fellow fisher
en,when all at once they heard scratching
against the bottom or sides of the boat, they
couldn't tell which and gave 1t little atten-
tion. All at once they saw something come
clambering over the bow of their craft
which proved to be great Maltese cat, a
splendid looking creature. The cat was wet
and hungry and seemed only to glad to be
safe once more. 1t was properly fed and
cared for and Mr.. Ennis has been offered
quite large sums for the cat which he per-
sistently refuses.
The theory of the two fishermen is that the
cat belonged to some vessel off the harbor
and in some way got adrift from the vessel
N boat, or else fell overheard. 1t is evil
dent that it must have had something to
which to cling and had managed to swim
quite long distance for it was very tired
when 1t reached the vessel. Probably the
creature saw the toat's light and went for IT,

SHOOTING TOURNAMENT.
The Confession the State Champion
ship.

In paper on sport with the gun, NAL
lard" the well known sportsman. states that
trap shooting in the past few years has
grown in public favor, and is rapidly assum-
ing its place as the sport par excellence for
summer recreation with lovers of the gun.
Furnishing as it does really admirable SUBJ
stltute for summer game shooting, 1t is draw
ing into the charmed circle both prince and
peasant as its votaries, and from our best
and most honored business circles as well.
1t is unique and profitable sport, possessing
attractions that are particularly its own, as
in its pursuit, to the overworked business
man. its brings into play other faculties than
those employed in the prosecution of ones
daily avocation, and thus it must and does
rest ones tired, tagged out nature, and tends
to restore the needed normal equilibrium. 1t
Is unique, again, because 1t has the effect to
restrain and discourage the unsportsmanlike
and inhuman practice of shooting game out
of season, or during the nesting and rearing
period"
In trap shooting, as in everything else, Ger
tain rules and principles underlie Its prac-
tice. The more completely these are master
ed the more satisfactory ones performance
will be. A few members of the Portland
Gun Club have reached degree of pro-
ficiency by earnest and careful practice
which warrants the belief that were they
pitted against the best shots in the state
they would make a showing gratifying to
their friends.
To that end the club has arranged for an
all day tournament next Thursday, the 2Stt
inst, open to teams of five men from al
clubs in the state, the winning team beeom
ing state champions for 1890. Four teams
have already entered-Portland, Lewiston
Topsham and Richmond. Aside from thu
match the usual sweepstakes will be indulg
ed in, and the one who makes the highes
score out of his first fifty Bluekocks becomes
the individual state champion.
Shooting will begin at a. m. and continue
uninterrupted until 6p. m.
Dinner will be served on the grounds BY
Stafford. the clubs caterer. The public arr
invited. Ocean street cars pass the door
and all others within three minutes walk o.
