From the latest postal statistics it has
been ascerained that out Of the whole
number Of letters, ETC., despatched TO yari-
Gus. addresses at home and abroad about &c
per cent are sent from London and its sub
urbs. The total of letters and postcards
dispatched to foreign countries in 1855 is
reported at 45,00OO00 to which may be
added 100000 more as inland cor
respondence, making a total of 60,00O,-
900 per year-which would give as Lon
donis proportion 1S0O0000.
This number divided by 3l3 working
days results in a daily average Of 57,5l1
letters dispatched from London. To write
these letters, taking them on an average
at four closely written pages of note size
would consume, at the rate Of fifty penfuls
Of ink each, equal to thirty miuims, or half
a dram, total Of nearly thirty gallons
Of ink per day.

Sacrifice Hitters.

The best sacrifice hitters are those who
can place the ball in right field or thai di.
rection, and for this reason Danny Richard,
son, Ewing, Ward and Quinn are stars at
making sacrifices that count. They scarce
ly ever fail. Danny Richardson is not the
greatest BAXTER i'll the business, but there
are few who are as scientific as he and none
who excels him. He is always willing and
helps daily to ruin his batting record. He
cares absolutely nothing about his record,
and there isn't a man playing ball who
feels worse over Il misplay than he does.
This does not seem consistent, but it is, for
from a long personal acquaintance with
him and two seasons on the road with the
giants I feel justified in stating positively
that Dams grief over errors, frequently
shown in various ways on the field and
elsewhere, has no connection whatever
with his record. He is a hard loser, and
simply gets "sore" thinking that his mis-,
play may lose the game, and when it does
he is not a pleasant companion for several
hours thereafter.

The platform demands, among other
things, the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the passage of laws prohibiting the
alien ownership Of lands, limitation Of
revenue to the necessities of the govern
ment, an equitable system of graduated
income tax, and the election of president,
vice president and United States senator
by direct vote of the people. A national
conference is to be held in February, 1892,
to unite, if possible, with all other reform

wheel was at the May party of the Genesee
Bicycle club, of Rochester, N. Y, in 1888.
He rapidly rose to the front rank in his ia
vorite sport, and in 1888, at the Interna.
tional exposition held at Buffalo, won the
worlds championship as a unicycle rider,
making a mile in 3:37x on one wheel.
Mr.. Barber has several times beaten this
record on different horse tracks, having
made a mile on the unicycle in 1926. This
does not go on record, as it is claimed that
the horse tracks are not a full mile for a
bicycle. Mr.. Barber has travelled through
out the United States with several first
class companies, and exhibited his wonder
full skill in almost every prominent city.
He is an honorary member of the Genesee
and West End Bicycle clubs, of Rochester;
of the Allegheny cyclers, of Pittsburg, and
many other prominent clubs throughout
the country.
He is idolized by all the prominent wheel.
men, and it is u custom of the bicycle clubs
to attend in a body at performances at
which he appears. Mr.. Barber thinks
his greatest trick is the one in which he
takes the bicycle apart while still perform
ing on it. He uses a specially constructed
wheel in his exhibitions. His riding is un.
excelled, and he well deserves the title of
the worlds champion.

them to two hours instruction six days in
the week in whatever branch they choose
to take up, to attendance upon all the lect-
ures of the institute and to access to the
periodicals and books in the reading room
and the library. The institute was estab-
lished in 1928. Its promoter was DR.. John
d. Craig, and he was assisted by a number
of influential citizens.
But it was not until the school of de-
sign was started, in 1856, that the institute
became popular. The first industrial ex-
position in the United States was held
under the auspices of the institute in 1888.
Four hundred articles were displayed. The
Cincinnati public library and the art
school have grown out of the institute.
Since the school of design (now called the
industrial and art school) was started
nearly 10000 pupils have received instruc-
ton. The enrolment on Jan. 1, 1891, was
7l0. Instruction last year was in 11s differ
ent branches of industry. There are classes
for ladies in separate rooms.

J. Hull Davidson, proprietor of the Phoenix
hotel.
This race occurred on Saturday, the 9th
of May, and was the most exciting and i'm
portant feature of the meeting, with the
largest stakes. kingman, Michael, Ber-
muda, Valera, Dundee and Balgowan were
the starters, Michael, r. A. Swigert's
beautiful colt. setting the pace, with Bal
goWan and Valera next. Michael kept
ahead until the stretch was reached, when
Isaac Murphy, who rode Kingman, gave
the mettlesome beast a rap with his whip,
and by II final grand effort lifted Kingman
under the string a winner by a mere half
a head mid a volcano of applause. Even
the losers cheer in admiration of the mar
velous achievement, and when the judges
hung out the time, 1885, the enthusiasm
burst forth yet more vociferously. The
pace was something phenomenal. Michael's
run was just IL hairs breath less than
Kingmaa's.
Kingman's victory in the Kentucky der
by, May IL, was not, comparatively speak
ing, so creditable a performance. There
were only four entries, and Kingman's
tlme-2:AA-was almost ten seconds slow
er than TIE ;norest time ever before made
in the great event. Kingman is a bay colt,
with a white right hind foot and a small
star in his forehead. He was sold in Chi.
cago about two years ago for $3.50. He first
started at Lexington in the spring of 1890,
and ran second to Roseland. Later, at La
tonia, he defeated Roseland, Major Thorn
ton, Balgowan and others in Il five furlong
race. His turf career thus far has been
very successful.
