Chili's largest man-of-war is named Gap
tain Pratt" but before proceeding to guy
the gentleman let US remember that Captain
Pratt weighs $500 TONS and is wearing, this

inches thick.
A kite-shaped track is just as long and no
longer than the ordinary circular or elliptical
mile track, but somehow a remarkable fast
horse manages to break his record and get
around 1t in a surprisingly short period of
time. This fact suggests a question for those
wise young gentlemen with bulging brows
who fairly revel in geometry.

And now comes forth an Ohio woman with
pair Of pink stockings which she says were
worn by Queen Elizabeth of England. Of
course. Queen Elizabeth, being extremely
dead. cannot, like Bill Kin &, take the witness
stand and testify, but the pTeponderance of
evidence is all in favor of the Ohio woman
What could be more natural than that Queen
Elizabeth should, in the vanity of her maiden
heart, wear stockings to match her hair?
Regarding to-morrew's result in New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Iowa,
guesses are cheap, but it takes money to buy
pools on the election.

An American protest: We are willing to
do anything to please Chilli except take back
Pat Egan.
New York is generous Although Chicago
won in a canter in the worlds fair race,
New York tenders to her successful
rival the use of Inspector Byrnes and his

stalwart eleven entertained any thoughts of
diverting, for one moment the attention of
Americans from the adored base ball they
reekoned without their otherwise polite
hosts, the American sporting fraternity
Cricket is no more to be compared to base
ball, in American eyes, than is a tin whistle
to the rude blasts OF Boreas in hyperborean
regions. Hereafter, in all probability Lord
Hawke will continue to shiny on his own
side of the Atlantic
