The Jersey City Athletic Club held its
second reception of the season last yer
ing In its beautiful club house. The
members of the reception committee, A.
B. D~usenberry, chairman, and Messrs.
d. G. De Witt and S. @. Arrowsmith pre-
pared a rare treat for their guests in a
bowling match between the Jersey City
and the Ward McAlister team. The Nc
Allsters created a sensation in appearing
in airy creamy tennis suits of white with
and SaShes.
Their dazzling appearance 0 the
admiration of the large throng of ladies
who were present and the young women
showered a great part of their applause
upon che representatives OF the immortal
-Four Hundred"
Tins so discouraged the Jersey Citys
chat their balls lost much OF their cum
ming and sent the balls wide of the mark.
In vain the men in the orchestra, which
was stationed near the alley, scrap ed
their fiddles until the perspiration rolled
down their foreheads und blew into their
horns until they were blue in the face.
They could not rally the local boys and
the Ward McAlisters won by Il score OF
1105 to 953.. destinations were thrown
out by some disgruntied individuals that
the score had been .'monkeyedn with, but
a careful Investigation failed to discover
any foundation for the rumors.
The following is the score:-

IT looks as if Mr.. w. s. Mexican,
of Newark, had been very badly
treated in the matter of the clerkship
of the State Prison Board. Mr.. Nc
Kean was the Secretary of the
State Democratic Society, and he
is to be thanked more than any
other man for the effective work
if did in the recent campaign. 1t was
proposed to give him the Office spoken
of as a recompense for his services. In
fact, it was regarded as a settled
matter that he should have it.
But, at the last moment,
Mr.. Edward Mullen flourishes a club
over the head of Mr.. James M. Smith,
and the office is at once turned over
to him.
We would like to know just what
the club was stuffed with to make Mr..
Smith so much afraid of it.
And we would like to know what is
going to be done for Mr.. Mexican.
He should be taken care of.

are those women, blessed as many Of
them are with devoted husbands,
cheerful homes, cultivated society,
and leisure for the exercise OF any
special talent they may possess, beau
titul women? With inc or two ex-
captions, no. Indeed, than a
few of them are positively plain, II
feature only is considered, while from
the rest ! can single out but two
or three whose faces and figures con-
form to any of the recognized stand-
ards of physical perfection. But they
are loved, they are honored, they are
deferred TO. While not eliciting the
admiration of every passer by, they
have acquired through the force. the
sweetness, or originality Of their char
acter, the appreciation of those whose
appreciation confers honor and happi-
ness, and, consequently, their days
pass in All atmosphere of peace and
good will which is as far above the de-
lirious admiration accorded to the
simply beautiful, as the placid shining
OF the sunbeam is to the phenomenal
blaze of an evanescent flame. -An7a0

merely the matter Of discus

or it may have gained considerable
strength among our solid citizens, for
that matter it may as yet be only his
pet personal idea. Whatever shape it
is in, it makes good reading, and we
publish it, vouching only for the
accuracy of the report.
But wherever the project stands
the idea is a novel and interesting
one. The proposal is to organize q
sort of Democratic advisory commit
tee with a club up its sleeve, and con
sisting in partof Republicans. Whew!
One feature of the project, however,
is altogether admirable. If Allan l..

OBITUARY..
William n. Turner.

Mr.. William Fl. Turner, who died at his
home on Alder street Monday afternoon. was
native of Whiteield in this state. He had
been in Portland for the past "a years en-
gagged iii the marble business and had large
circle of acquaintance in this section of
Maine. In his business life Mr.. Turner was
a man of strict Integrity. He was member
of the Masonic Fraternity. being identified
with Ancient Landmark Lodge of Maine of
this city and also with the Montgomery Roy
al Arch Chapter. Mr.. Turner was also men,
Der of the Second Parish church. He leaves
widow who has the sympathy of many
friends in her sorrow and loss. She has been
his faithful attendant through long and dis
tressing sickness. Mr. Turner also leaves a
son who for the past two years has been a
resident of Providence, R. 1. The primary
cause of his death was the prevailing dis
temper of last winter resulting in dropsy.
His burial will take place at Bath, Me.

Filling In of the Back Bay Flats &c
gun.

Yesterday the work of filling in the flats
of Back Bay began. A crew of men are
now at work extending the track of the
Portland & Rochester railroad across Kenne-
beet street. A call was made on Superin-
tendent Peters, who stated that the company
contemplated the filling in of the flats be-
tween Preble and Pearl streets. The earth
used in hlling In will be taken from the bluff
at the junction of the Grand Trunk and
Rochester roads. A powerful steam shovel
will be put at work at once, and dump ears
will convey the dirt to the spot needed.
While the officials are rather reticent in re-
gard to the object of the work, it is under
stood that 1t is to furnish the site for the
new depot which is contemplated. The flats
can be filed In as far as the channel, giving
the company ample room for large depot,
and also for tracks. The track crosses Ken
nebec street between Hanover and Preble
streets, and will strike between the mill of
w. A. Allen and the refrigerator manufac.
tory. The work of filling in will probably
continue to be actively pushed all winter.
