of scenic effects. But perhaps the greatest
pleasure is found in exploring the series OF
rocks and cliffs extending along the shore.
One of the notable places is known by the
not very romantic name of Thu Ovens"
which lies some six or seven MILES, up the
bay. The shore at this point has delicious
serenity and repose. The waters ripple
calmly of the base of the cliffs and only
when the wind is high do breakers dash
against the sculptured rocks. Fine trees
crown the tops Of the perpendicular walls
and cast their shadows on the beach. Grass
and flowers grow along the range, and in the
crevires of the rocky face rich greenery and
Towering shrubs may be seen, making a
vivid contrast with the many tinted walls.
1.-THE Ovens" are cavities worn by the
waves in the sides of the cliffs. some of them
being large enough TO hold thirty or forty
people. All these caves are natural aQuaria,
where the visitor sees strange and beautiful
forms of marine life. sea anemones, STAR
fish. sea urchins, etc. The sunny bay, the
winged yachts gliding on the water,
the peaceful shores, the imposing cliffs,
crowned with green forest, make picture
of great loneliness.
When the winds lash the ocean into fury
the more exposed cliffs of Mount Desert
offer grand spectacle. The following de-

THE GENERAL
FIELD OF SPORT.
What Is Being Done by Anglers and
SpOrtSmGn.
Athletic Contests Between Olympic and Other
Clubs emplated-Interrational
Tug-of War.

Owing to the fact that large numbers of
people who are members of various athletic
clubs are now enjoying their summer out
ings in the country, matters athletic are
somewhat dead at present.
Sportsmen who have been resting on their
guns, so to speak, ever since the quail
shooting season closed, have now turned
their attention to less exciting line of
field pastimes-dove-sho From all ac-
counts, the sport has been first class this
year, which is entirely owing TO the change
in the law from June LIST to July 1st.
The angling fraternity is in high feather
since the opening of the lakes. Those who
went far into the interior in quest of good
stream fishing this summer report having
enjoyed most successful vacations.
The cricketers. hand-ball players, billiard
lists, etc., all seem to be enjoying good sport.

gentlemen who had come out of the Union
League Club saw, just as they reached the
busy corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-sec-

widely across the avenue. The owner of
the hat was not visible, and one of
the clubmeD caught the hat in one of its
wild flights and stood with his friend
awaiting the appearance of the owner.
lnStinctively they glanced into the crown Of
tho hat, Where ones name frequently is
written. and there they saw, pasted trinity
inside, the article written by Judge Bed
ford and clipped by the hats owner. One
OF the men was stranger to Judge Bed
ford. The other was one of the Judges
political opponents, and lie entered into a
conversation with the trim and bright-faced
young fellow, Just trifle seedy as to Dress
who came dashing across the street to claim
the runaway hat. 1t ended just like fairy
tale. The young fellow was looking for
employment, and the eminent clubman,
Hsfno is also an eminent jurlst, was looking
for private secretary. Negotiations were
opened on the spot, and ended In the owne r

FINGER Ring DUDES.
The Peculiar Way They Have Of Attracting
Public Attention.

Finger rings are worn by a great many
men as well as by a large majority of wo-
men. and in many cases they are worn for
show alone. The ring dude is to be found
In St Louis as in every other large city.
So skilled are his hands in posing that they
perform their function entirely independent
OF the will Of the owner. A young man who
is engaged in bushes. in the vicinity of
Chestnut and Thirteenth streets has the
ring habit in its most virulent form. He
wears several rings Gu his left hand. A
