One of the sights of an Illinois breeding
farm is twin mule and colt. They were
produced by breeding a mare 10 jack.
The mule was thirty inches high at foal-
ing and the FLY thirty-four inches. The
mule is light chestnut and the tilly coal

Two young ladies, accompanied by a
young gentleman, went 10 a ball park in
Springfield, o., where base ball game was
in progress on Sunday afternoon, walked

the hearts of the rival teams, and they
ceased playing.

named John Lee. Mr.. Lee was born in
Shanghai in '66. When but twelve years
old he showed desire to figure as fighter
and when fourteen years of age he won
six victories. All the battles were fought
according to the Chinese style, which per-
mits biting, scratching, kicking, butting
and in fact everything by which one OPP
ponent can stop another.
white Hat" Mccarthy, well-known as
"Rocky Mountain Joe," the San Francisco
horseman, was in Pittsburg recently on his
way to California for eighty horses which
he will enter in the eastern races. He
wore, as usual, bis famous white hat made
out OF the bark of the calebra tree, and he
reioiced over a good wad of Doodle in his

All Yale men are sympathizing with
Sheriff., the Splinter. His accident at
Cambridge Saturday brings TO mind the
fact that he had decided to give up all
athletics and only entered this year to
save Yale, if possible, from utter defeat.
Not until two weeks ago did he consent to
once more go on the track. In justice to
Sheriff. it can be truthfnlly said that he
took this step through pure loyalty TO the
college, and that he again broke down will
not detract anything from the splendid
reputation that ne has made as a Splinter
during his course at Yale. Sheriff. is con-
fined to his room and will probably not be
able TO attend Rotations for several
weeks.
The blind sidewheeler, DR.. A, by Adj
vents Ahue, that made a record OF 2:24i
at Jackson, Tenn, last fall, came about as
near spending his days in hauling a cart
about the streets OF GAINESVILLE, Tenn, as
could well be. he was owned in that
town by a colored man who neglected the
pelding to such an extent that he became
run down, and his owner had to sell him
at auction to keep him from dying on his
hands. He brought $3.50, and was
thought dear at that figure. Finally he
fell into the hands of his present owner,
who found that be had speed and devel-
oped it. Last season ne won a number of
races from good horses, and is now cred
tied with being able to put in several con-
secutive heats better than 800.
