The new lace wraps have o little foun-

with passementerie and bordered with
lace founcing from six to ten inches
wide. They can be in any shape the lady
prefers, and all are stylish.
The mantles are also as various In

bodice, with long lace tabs in front and
with long, open lace sleeves, the front Of
the bodice laden with rich beaded trim
ming.
Another style is made Of Russian net,
with silk lozenges woven in. This is
made like gathered basque, with rib

of the waist has rich yoke of passe-
menterie, and the sleeves are open from
the shoulders. / cannot describe all the
pretty and dressy lace wraps and man
ties that have seen this week, but the
distinguishing point has always been the
long, open, hanging sleeves, or, as some
call them, the Jewish sleeve. Some Of
them hang quite to the bottom of the

in scarf fashion, with tho ends reaching
the foot of the dress. One had sort of

Rochester club Of the newly organized New

batting and had good fielding record.
During seasons of 1885 and 1887 he was still
a member of the Rochester club, where he
continued to do good work.
There being some uncertainty as to Roch-

Hamilton, Ont, club, also of the Interna-

work and made great record for himself,
both in batting and in fielding. He caught
in sixty four games, and ranked third in
the official fielding averages. At the close
of that season there was great demand
for his services, but he was finally induced
to sign with Brooklyn. His work with
that team was first class, and helped the
club to gain its pennant. This season he

J. D. Connolly, who Is shown by the

Is already very prominent as an all-round

on April IL for the running hop, step and

a feet ~ inches. The ground on which
he did this performance being Of an artificial
nature prevents Connolly's performance
from actually supplanting the old record
made out Of doors on grass; but he dis
tanced about dozen competitors when he
won the event, and he Is without doubt the
best amateur in the United States at this
event.
He is 81 years old. 5 feet SIS inches high,
and weighs l4S pounds in jumping costume.
He has competed in fifty-five different
events, all of which were scratch, and he
has finished first twenty-five times, second
eighteen times, third twelve times, and
several times unplaccd.
His first competition was running high
jump with weights at Oak Island, Boston,
May 30, 1887, in which he won second place
with feet ~ inches, Since then he has
made the following records, all Of which
are so high class that they speak for them
selves: Standing broad jump without
weights, 10 feet with weights, 12 feet
inches: three standing broad jumps with
