WORLD OF SPORTS.

Of the 62 home runs made by the National league, Chicago contributed Is, Boston and Brooklyn each g, New York s, Philadelphia and Cincinnati each 6, Cleveland and Pittsburg each 3. The total bases stolen foot up sol. Cincinnati leads with 121, Brooklyn has 11S, New York 115, Chicago 104, Boston 90, Philadelphia 97, Pittsburg 93, Cleve- land 54.
 The leaders of the lPlayers' league are already preparing for the campaign of 1891. and this ought to set at rest all doubts about it's future career. The best of talent will be secured, and it is very probable that the circuit will be en- larged to 10 clubs. There will not be any change in the personnel this season. The clubs will play out as now scheduled.
 The Rose Hill base ball club was not satisfied with the game with the AcmeS Saturday and a challenge is issued again to play for $1O0 or $200. Forfeit will be posted at this office the moment the Acmes decide to accept.
 The pill mixers of Waterbury and Danbury will contest in base ball to- morrow afternoon on the West End grounds.
 Crane, Connor and O'Ronrke lead the FlayerSS leaSu0 III UaIIAuS. 11dAIOu, Kelly and Orr follow.
 Harry Stovey leads the Players league in base stealing. His record is 43. T. Brown is second, with S1. Ward and Duffy come next, with 30 each. Han. lon has 2S, while Seery and Latham have 26 apiece. Joyce has 24. Nine other men have 15 or more. They are H. Richardson, 19; Corcoran, 16; Kelly, IS Comiskey, F; Carroll, IT Van Hal tren, 16; Nash, 10 Shindle, 15 Irwin 15.

 To Silver King belongs the honor of being the first pitcher in the Players league to dispose of an opposing team without hit in a full game. This feat eclipses anything ever done by a pitcher because of the increased pitching dis tance and lively ball of the new lea que and also because of the superior ba ttine ability of the team opposed to him.
 Trimmer has caught every game fol the Clevelands.
 The Pittsburgs have played 31 men SC far this season.

QUEER SEPULCHER.
4 Russian Nobleman Carrying His Wife's
 Ashes Around in a Ring.


 Ashes Around in Ring.
 A certain Russian nobleman visiting Paris about thirty years ago was noticed to be constantly sad. He wore on his finger a very remarkable ring, large enough for bracelet, and which ex- tended over his hand like a buckler for the ring finger. It was greenish color and was traversed by red veins.
 It attracted the attention of every body, but not one was bold enough to til one day lady, meeting him in pub lie, ventured to say:
 You wear a very handsome ring"
 The Russian made a movement as though he would conceal his hand, but that feeling gave way to a desire to un- burden himself.
 Ut is not a ring" he answered, "but a sepulcher"
 A shudder passed through the whole company.
 This jewell" he continued, ''is my wife. l had the misfortune to lose her some years since in Russia. She was an Italian, and dreaded the icy bed which awaited her after this life. 1 carried her remains to Germany, where I was acquainted with a celebrated chemist, whom T directed to make out of the body solid substance which I could carry about with me. Eight days after he sent for me and showed me the empty coffin, amid horrid collection of instruments and alembics. This jewel was lying on the table. He had. through means of some corrosive substance, re- duced and compressed that which was my wife into this jewel, which shall never more leave me. ."-London Tidbits.

Attempt to Revive venerable SCaUe
 House Shade.
 The old Olmsted parallel road, which has been before the public in half a dozen shapes for many years past, and which has recently been revived under the name of the New York, Bridgeport & Eastern, not long ago petitioned the railroad commissioners to have the lay out of the proposed road approved. The hearing was held in Bridgeport and was opposed with great vigor by the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad and by certain property holders. The commissioners, whose finding will be made public shortly. have rendered a formal decision, approving the layout. It is understood, however, that there are certain questions of law which the com missioners thought did not come under their jurisdiction. They have, there fore, made their decision merely pro forma; the case will probably be brought before the courts on quo war ranto proceedings by ex-Speaker H. w. R. Hoyt of Greenwich, representing cer- tain property holders.

James E. COoper'S Latest ana Greatest
 Tented Enterprise.
 An event that will stir the juvenile heart hereabouts is the coming of the Forepaugh and Wild West combined shows, under the proprietorship of James E. Cooper, the well known circus owner, which exhibits in this city, Sat- urday July 12. This years show is said to be the largest and finest that Mir Cooper has ever been identified with. There are more features" more ''sen- sations," more out-of-the-commOn'' acts, and undoubtedly a greater conse- quent expence than has ever before been incurred by the great snowman. In catering to the love for the sports and ''spangled splendor" of the circus arena that seems to be inherent in human nature, only the best Tn all departments has been selected, and the result is per haps the most remarkable aggregation of performers, human and brute, that has ever been gathered together under one management.
