Direct and Hal Pointer
Matched for $4,000.
Gray and Mitchell Both Broke
Records.
Una Wilkes Wins the 2:20 Glass at
Sacramento.
Ludwig Captures the Great Eastern Han
dicap, Beating Field of Twenty
Two-The Standing of the Base
Ball Leagues.

Little Direct has been matched against
Hal Pointer. This will undoubtedly be
the greatest side-wheel event on record.
Hal Pointer is the champion free for all
PAGER of the year, having defeated Yolo
Maid and Johnston throughout the
grand circuit meetings. He has the
fastest three heats to his record ever
made in a race, and has only been
beaten twice, and then when he first
started out. Direct has never met any
PAGER of the calibre of Hal Pointer, but
the way he has reeled off fast miles in
the past three weeks shows that he will
be able to give Hal Pointer an argument.

Twenty-Five horses started yesterd ay
at Sheepshead Bay in the Great Eastern
handicap for two-year-olds. Ludwig, a
California colt, and the rankest out
slider, won the rich event, beating field
which included st. Florian and Huron
1t is thought that as much as so to
could have been obtained against the
colt just before the race.

Gray, who yesterday broke the record
at putting shot, halls from Canada, and
is very small man for weight putter.
Champions in this line are, as rule,
regular giants. Gray is the great ex-
ception to this rule.

A BOY HERO.

In heartless Paris, which to foreign eyes
Seems made Of mirrors, gaslight and display,
A splendid buildings walls began to rise,
Ascending stone by stone from day to day.
High and more high the pile was builded well.
And scores of laborers were busy there.
When suddenly a fragile staging fell,
And two strong workmen swung aloft in air.
Suspended by their hands to one slight hold,
That bent and creaked beneath their sudden
weight;
One worn with toll, and growing gray and old,
One mere boy, just reaching mans estate.
Yet with a hero's soul. Alone and young,
We're it not well to yield his single life,
On which no parent leaned, no children clung,
Andsave the other to his babes and wife2
He saw that ere deliverence could be brought
The frail support they grasped must surely
break,
And in that shuddering moments flash of
thought
He chose to perish for his comrades sake.
With bravery such as heroes seldom know,
"'Tis right" he said, and loosing his strong
grip.
Dropped like stone upon the stones below,
And lay there dead, the smile still ON his lip
What though no laurels grow his grave above,
And DER his name no sculptured shaft may
rise?
To the sweet spirit Of unselfsh love-
Was not his life glorious sacrifce2

How He Expressed 1t.

In thriving village of Oxford county
are people who still enjoy relating little
incident illustrative of the confusion
likely to fall upon the stranger to our
language who uses synonyms indiscrimi
nately. The pastor of the leading church
had made arrangements to exchange
with good German brother of the same
denomination. Having himself been a
witness to some ludicrous mistakes OF
that worthy, the minister was not with
out a feeling Of uneasiness.
The German having arrived in the vii.
lage Saturday was courteously invited
to pleasant gathering near the parson-
age. The elite Of the town were pres
ent. All went well with our German
friend until he was introduced to the
beautiful Miss Howard, whose match
less complexion was the pride of the vii
lage. Feeling that such beauty deserved
some recognition, and wishing to COM
pliment the beautiful stranger, the Ger
man exclaimed with his beaming ad-
miration, "Why, fraulein, what beau
tiful hide you uhave!'-Lewiston Journal

Cause of CorpuIency.

1t is very evident that corpulency is
due to some popularity within the sys-
tenn which favors the increase and stor-
age of fat, but the actual cause is yet to
be determined Physicians who have
been corpulent, and therefore have had
the most favorable opportunities for
study and experiment, have all reached
the same conclusions namely, that cor
pulency indicates a degree of ill health
not of excellent health, as many peo-
pie suppose. They also hold that one
and very potential cause of the abnor-
NAL storage of fat is the lack of func-
tional activity in certain important or
gans of the body, and particularly those
concerned in freeing the system of waste
products. In other words, when the
system is choked up with waste less fat
is consumed therein, and it's accumula-
tion is favored.-Boston Herald.
