THE GAME OF TEMA.
Latest Rival or Tennis In the summer
G;ri's Anections.

Latest Rival OF Tennis In the summer
G;ri's Affections
There is new game which il called
tema. and which is an adaptation of Jap
anese polo. This is the way it is played,
according to a young woman who claims
to be proficient:
I. A screen eight feet high has circular
hole in the middle eighteen inches in
diameter, called the goal, ard having q
net behind It. Twenty feet away is a
roped in area in which the players
stand. They are ranged in sides, the
white and the red. At the end of the
area farthes. from the screen are stores
of red and white balls less than two
inches in diameter, and IL is the bust
ness Of each side to throw It's balls into
the goal The throwing is done by
means of an implement called the
wanda slender bamboo three feet In
length. with tiny net at the end. The
balls arc picked up in this net and
slung toward the goal. This would
probably be very tame, but there is an
other provision. which is that players
of one side may interfere with the 9TH
ers and do all they can to prevent the
balls from being thrown This at once
introduces an element Of skill. as the
hall. once In the net of the wand. can
be manipulated and maneuvered. and q
great variety of throws are open TO the
players. The picking up of the ban Is
q pretty and dexterous action, while il
Is almost impossible to be ungrsceful in
throwing IT, The extreme lightncss of
the wand (the maximum weight IL fors
ounces) renders the sport much less vio-
lent than tennis, which some people
think In its favor.

SIMPSONS MULE.
The Latest Campaign Story Of tho Kan.
sas Statesman.

The Latest Campaign Story Of tho Kan.
sas Statesman.
! One of the best stories of the year is
told by Jerry Simpson, popularity known
as the "Socklcss Socrates of Medicine
Lodge" He had been talking about tho
attempt OF the old parties to capture the
alliance vote, when he compared the as
tute politician to the Kansas mule, says
the Atlanta Constitution.
''Out in Kansas" said he, "thcre is a
boy who Nad taught his mule to squat
when he touched him on the flank with
his heels, and one day when he was
riding beside an Englishman the mule
sat down on his launches. What's the
matter with your mule? said the Eng
ishman. Why said the boy, hes
setter; don't you see that rabbit out
there? The Englishman was much as
tonished. They rode on awhile and
the mule squatted again. What's he
doing now?' said the English:nan. He's
settin' agin,' said the boy. Don't you
see that flock of quail?' BY this time
the Englishman was dying to own the
mule. An animal he could ride that
was also setter would be priceless to
such niInrod as he. He offered to buy
the mule, but the boy didn't want to
sell him. Finally he concluded to swap
he mule for the Englishman's fine bay
horse and one hundred dollors to boot.
The Englishman mounted the mule, tho
boy mounted the horse and they rode
on. After awhile they came to creek
and the Englishman drew up his feet to
keep them from getting wet. About
half way through, tie water got SO deep
he had to draw his feet up to the mules
flank. As soon as the boot heels touched
the mules flank he squatted right in
the middle of TIE creek. What's the
matter with your blarsted mule now%
said the Englishman. 4 told you he
was setter and he's Just as good for
suckers as for anything else"

THE TALENT WAS RIGHT.
Sympathetic's Lasts Performance
in the Heat Races.

The heat race proved cinch, and it
killed the talent. True, Sympathet-
les Last was a hot favOrite, but the
odds placed by the bOOkmakerS were
such that they did not invite the money
of the most venturesOme spectators.
The average marking waS4 to ), and the
majority did not care to bet such
chances. GlOckner carries a great rep
utation for his pluck in running on a
muddy track, and the odds were more
tempting. GlOclner pools were gener-
ally : to l. although some were marked
II to >. and he sold with aptitude both
straight and place. Billy Pinkerton,
the vicious bay gelding, found cOhsid-
cradle favor for place, and the major
part of the money was placed on these
horses.
There was a circus at the post. as
there always is when Billy PinkertOn is
in the party. He kicked as usual, and
the others were compelled to protect
themselves from the heels of the repre-
sentative of the Mascot stable by giving
him as wide a berth as possible. Billy
had a rival in point of unrulyness, how
ever. in Stickler. Twice he ran away
with his rider, making the entire circuit
Of the track despite MagnuSsen's efforts.
The last time he was truant purchase
loop was fixed on him, and he was tracta-
bic enough after that, but he was not in
the race, for he got lost long before the
finish.
Sympathetic's Last got away first in
the first heat, and he led the field to the
wire. Leader ii. showed up second to
the turn, but he was palpably out
claSSed. GlOcKner rode easy and looked
a winner tagging back in third place to
the beginning of the stretch. Then
Sympathetic's Last began to extend
himself. He opened up several lengths,
and Mccarthy shot after with GlOckner
under the whip. 1t was a raItling fin
ish, but Sympathetic's Last won hand
ilv, GlOckner coming length behind,
hands down, while the others whipped
furIOusly. Stickler and Leader ii. were
distanced.
Sympathetic's Last got off first in the
final heat, with GlOckner by his side.
Neck-and-neck they ran down the back
stretch both Weaver and Mccarthy rid
ing with great caution. FishbuTn traIled
with Billy PinkertOn, nearly two lengths
behind. When they dashed into the
stretch GiOckner was no more. He re-
fused TO extend himself, and Sympa-
thetc's last won in miserably slow time,
Billy PinkeTtOn second.
