the play a shuttlecock is used instead of
the white ball used in tennis. This is
made of rubber, and feathered to steady
its flight. Ordinary tennis rackets are
used instead of the old-fashioned "bat-
tledores." The game is, in fact, sort
of a cross be.ween lawn tennis and the
older game, and is said to be the inven-
tion or an English officer in India, who
found the climate too hot for tennis.

Floral and youthful btiauty graccd
the churches yesterday. The children
took Great Interest Gnd delight In
their day. There WIS generally OBJ
servable the juvenile and crowded
character OF the audiences with their
youthful enthusiasm. There were no
churches that came under bur obser-
walton that were not enlivened and
beautified by liberal supply of flow
ers.
Central's celebration was under the
direction OF superintendent II. II.

letter was read from Rev. DR.. Warden.
First Presbyterian had an address by
Superintendent W. Ii. Taylor, music
led by Mr.. Albert Dennis. remarks by
the pastor and forenoon sermon by
Rev. J. w. Balm.
Second Baptist made singing and
recitations. with responsive reading,
the most impressive features.
At Grace Rev. John Y. Dobbins, d.
D.. and an infant pupil made addresses.
Union was crowded to hear extra
good singing with recitatlons and ad-
dresses.
At Delaware avenue, Superintendent
Harry Emmons, ESQ, and the school
gave responsive readings. while music
and recitations prevailed.
The main idea In all the above
churches is to have the children gen.
orally occupy the program.
At Goodman, Joseph Pyle made o
morning address TO the congregation,
composed mostly Of children. III the
afternoon Washington Hastings ad-
dressed the children. In the evening,
Rev. Wesley johnson spoke to the
children. The addresses OF these gen-
tlemen were appropriately and well re-
ceived.
The regular program for children's
day was gone over by the children OF
tho A. U. NJ. p. Church, on French, be.
tween Eighth and Ninth streets, yes
terday afternoon. The exercises wore
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Purnell, of the
A. M. L. Church, and were of a very
interesting character. 1he children
acquitted themselves very well. Jona

The church was also we'll filled In the
evening when the services were repeat

A Notorious Thief

Last Saturday morning John Jack
son, colored, was arrested In the King
street market by officer Molfett, on
charge of picking the pocket of Mrs.
Joseph Graham, of 1905 Market street.
He was detected In the act. and the
pocket-book, with the 81 contents was
found on his person. He had hear
ing before Judge Ball this morning,
and on tho testimony of officer Moifett
and Mrs. Graham, was committed In
default Of $500 bail to answer at
court
q. II. Alexander, who resides at Low
ering avenue and Scott streets, in
formed the reporters that he identified
the accused as the man who had stolen
Sl0l from his wife while riding on q
street car last. February. Mr.. Alexln-
der said that he and his wlfe were the
tho only passengers on the car when
the accused got in and took seat
alongside of Mrs. Alexander.
As he sat very close to her, while
there was plenty of roomin the Cur,
it attracted the attention of her hus-
band, who watched him closely, and
is sure that he could not be mistaken
In his identity. He did not see nny-
thing very suspicious in his conduct,
but after he had left the ear Mrs. Alex
ander discovered that her pocket book,
containing LOO in notes, and silver
dollar that she had In her pocket were
missing. IL is probable that this
charge will also be pressed against
him when the case Is taken up in
court.

The Tax Collectors sruddle.

Tax collector Dougherty explains
some of the causes which lead to a
large delinquent list.
For Instance, he says that William M.
Candy was assessed for property which
he did not own, and he of course was
returned as an error, and all errors are
called delinquents.
Both William DUPONT and 2. James
Belt were assessed twice for the same
property. They paid once, and OF
course were returned errors as relates
the other.
In relation to Judge Ball, who Is re
turned as delinquent from the Sev-
enth ward, the Judge paid taxes for
real estate owned In part by him In the
Second ward. This gives him the
right to vote, but so far as the tax on
his poll OF $3.50 In the Seventh ward
was concerned, amounting to $1.20, he
was a delinquent not having paid, and
he was SO returned.
The same was the case with Henry
O. Turner, Esq, who paid property
tax in either the Tenth or Twelfth
ward, but living in the Seventh ward
he was returned as delinquent for
the Sl.20 he owed on his poll. There
are hundreds OF persons assessed as
were Messrs. Ball and Turner, with
property tax on one ward and poll
on another.
The poll tax of course, was not paid
while the property taxes had to be
paid. In all such cases the parties
were returned as dellnquents for poll
| taxes.
In the case OF Philip Q. Churchman,
Esq, Collector Dougherty's cash book
shows that Mr.. Churchman paid his
poll tax, Sl.20, at the time he says he
paid it, but at the same time he Is re-
turned as delinquent.
| As it was with Mr.. Churchman, so II
Ia with all poll taxables returned
as asdellnquents. There ore said to be
from 5000 to 1000 poll taxables who
have paid their taxes and have been 10.
