AYALE AND HARVARD CANE.


OF all games in which | have played
the most remarkable for a sudden re-
vulsion of feeling was one between
Harvard and Yale played upon Jarvis
Field. in June Of 1882.
Yale went first to the bat but failed
to score. Harvard followed suit. In
the second inning, muff BY the Har-
ward tirst-base man followed by the
Yale catcher's making 'two-bagger'
hit gave Yale a run. Our happiness
was short-liyed. however for ia the
third inning Harvard made two runs,
followed by another in the fifth. Yale
scored one in the seventh. but Harvard
matched it with one in the eighth. so
that we began the ninth with Harvard
four TO Yale's two. | think we had
not the least hope OF winning.
remember feeling, as we came in
for the ninth inning. that this defeat
would settle our chances of the cham
piouship. aud think how the crowd of
boys who, as / knew, were sitting on
the Yale fence awaiting the news. would
hear it aud dwindie away in silence to
their rooms. Our first man ut the bat
in the ninth inning went out quickly;
and our catcher followed, with the
same result. Wilcox, the last man on
our batting list, came to the bat Two
men out, two runs to reach even tie,
and three to win | noticed that the
crowd was leaving the field, and that
the young rascal who had charge of
our bats was putting them into the
bag.
Here. you'll stop thatw cried |, for
we all were superstilious about pack
ing up the bats before the last man was
out Besides. | was the next batter if
Wilcox should by any chance reach his
base. and | wanted M bat. Two
strikes. | heard the umpire call and
then at the next ball, TO my great joy,
Take your base. and Wilcox trotted
away to first. | remember thinking
how much would give for n home
run, and then there came good ball
Just off my shoulder aud hit it with
all my power 1t went between third
and short-stop on swift drive hut
bounded high, as ! afterward learned.
for | was meanwhile running at my
best speed toward first, When | was
fifteen feet from that base | saw the
baseman give a tremendous Jump up
into the air and knew somebody had
made an overthrow. How | ran thenl
for every base passed knew was
one nearer to tying the score. As
came dashing past third-base, saw
Wilcox just ahead Of me. and we
crossed the home-plate within three
feet OF each other. Our next batter
took his base on poor pitching and
stole second; the next followed with a
base-hit past second which brought the
first runner home with the winning
run. We then went into the field put
three Harvard men out and won the
game--when probably half the seven
thousand spectators were already on
their way home with victory for
Harvard in their minds. ~ Waiter Camp

Anecdotes OF the Prince Imperial

There are many pleasant incidents
TO be told OF the Prince Imperial. The
deep melancholy ascribed to him GER
taiuly did not appear on the surface.
He and boy companion would lie for
hours upon their backs under the huge
trees of the park and shoot with ar
rows at the birds that lighted on their
branches; or they raced over the wide
meadows of the estate, surrounded by
pack Of dogs; or the dogs we're forced
to jump aud exercise at the caprice OF
their Young masters.
About the unfortunate boys horse
manshlp we have all heard time and
again. Ii il sometimes said that its
very perfection caused his death, as he
would not mount until every appendage
Of his saddle vas placed in exact posi-
ton. 1t is probable now, however.
that no more details will ever be added
to those already given Of his last strug-
gle. When al Chislehurst. the Prince
delighted to throw himself upon a
barebacked horse and galfop round
and round field. Sometimes the
park was chosen for these eScapades,
and any friend or lady Of the house
hold who happened to be near was
chased round aud about through the
maSes of the wood.

BIGEL0W'S ANSWER
In The Suit Brought Against Him
Relative to the Wharf Matter.
TIE WORK WAS PUBLIC BENEFIT.
Believes the Legislature Will Authorize the
Improvement.
YESTERDAY IN THE COUNTY COURTS

Yesterday was the limit of time set a
week ago by the court in the case of the
Commonwealth versus c. NJ. Bigelow,
Chief of the Department of Public Works,
in which tie latter was to show cause why
be had disobeyed the court in the whar:
matter. J. Scott Ferguson, one of the prose-
cutting attorneys. was not present, but MIR.
answer and the case will be continued until
mex: Saturday The substance of the answer
is as follows:
THAT E. NJ. Bgelow. one of the defendants
in the above entitled case in answer TO the rule
TO show cause why he should not be punished
for coutempT Of court in not complying with its
sentence Of September 80, 1890. and why he
sEuuld not now be compelled Jo comply with
Eaid sentence without delay, respectfully says,
that the nuisance of which he was convicted
was the filling in of dirt on the wharf of the
Pittsburg SIDE of the Allegheny river, between
Third and Fourth streets, and that the work
was done by his direction as Chief of the De-
partnent Of Public Works for the benefit OF
The pubic and an improvement.
The cnurt adjudGed him guilty OF having
committed a nuisance; not that the work was
not an Improvement. but that the law did not
authorize it. On January : last bill author
?ZInC such Improvement was introduced In the
Legislature, passed the Senate, and is now IN
the House OF Representatives and the defend
ant believes il will pass that body IN two weeks,
which, if done, the defendant believes. would
legalze the said work done by him on the said
public wharf. and the defendant believes that
the said bill would have been passed before the
expiration Of the six months limit, otherwise
he would have ab1ted the saId nuisance"
The answer in conclusion sets forth that Mr..
Bigelow is ready and willing If the court de-
sires, TO have abated the nuisance to follow
their wish, but prays that three months time
yeI be gwen 10 await the action OF the Legisla-
ture and Governor on TIE bill.

SOMETHING ABOUT MEMS STYLES.
Fashions Latest Decree in the Matter OF
Headgear.

Fashions Latest Decree in the Matter Of
Headgear.
A careful observer would have noted that
with the advent of pleasant weather a great
number of new hats have made their appear
ance on the streets. The hat question is
one OF vast interest to gentlemen, and in
order that they NAV be thoroughly posted as
to "the correct thing" Mr.. Ruben, the we'll
known Smithteld street halter, has been
asked to give his views:
The round crown hat, saws Mr.. Ruben,
has received temporary backset. The fiat
top stiff hat, known in this city as "The
Union Square," has the call, and not unde-
servedly so. for it is a decidedly stylish and
becoming head covering. Their sale has
already been enormous, though the season
has but begun. The round-crown derby is
not relegated bv any means. "The Schen-
ley," which is the latest of that kind, al
though not strikingly new, is withal model
OF neatness, combined with elegance and
style. In colors there is marvellous variety,
with such odd name. as Cuba, Cedar, Ha-
vana, Tan, Russell, Melton, Granite,
Brighton, Combine, Electric, Java and
about a dozen more. Crush hats still hold
their own. An entirely new thing in that
line has made its appearance, and bids fair
to become great rage. Its weight is but
one ounce, the Hghtest ever made, and owing
to its extreme feather weight Mr.. Ruben
has named it after bird, 1.-The Cockoo,"
and feels confident that it will prove flyer.
Silk hats enjoy steady demand, the style
this spring being very conservative. The
straw hat season is yet six weeks of.
