Ernest de la RocEeyiliers. a young Lieu

Fiance Is rapidly passing away, he says,
and in a dozen years or so it will have be-

to day. The truth of the matter is" said
he in the course Of a conversation yester-

farcical that many of the best and bluest-

ing Some time ago a friend CT mine got
into an alteration with a civilian at TOu-
Ion. Hot words passed and a challenge re-
suited. My freud agreed to meet the
aggrieved party, and ut dawn the following
morning we all met at rustic retreat in the
suburbs of T0ulon. When we arrived, the
Inn-keeper informed us that the other party
could be found in the garden slipping their
matutinal abSinthe. We went there. After
shaking hands all around, principals in

dered, after that second, and still after
that third. Not a word about the object
of the rendezvous had been whispered. FL
nally, growing tired of this scrt of thing, |
reminded my friend that it was about time
we proceeded to the business in hand.
Swords were selected, tie space marked
off, and the two principals faced about.
They were pretty evenly matched in skill.
1t was brilliant fencing exhibition. For
fully ten minutes they slashed away with no
material result. A rest was taken and a
round of drinks ordered. Then they went
at it again. After five or six minutes more
of lighting my man got his hand slightly
scratched. Blood had been drawn and
honor was indicated. But neither my
man nor his opponent wanted to stop, so
after wrapping the hand in a handkerchief
they resumed the fight. Well, this sort of
thing went on for nearly an hour. BY this
time the seconds Of both men were getting
heartily sick OF the whole thing and wanted
the men to stop then and there But, no,
they wouldn't listen to it. Thea the other
man got scratch on the face. There was
earnest parleying, and We all decided honor
was vndicated. The men, however, still
wanted to go on. Their blood was up now,
and serious results might have followed
But we stopped the fight right there. The
men rather unwlllingly shook hands, we had
some more drinks, a pr0ces-verbal of the
meeting was drawn, copy of which one of
the parties took TO each of the morning
papers, and the whole thing was over Now
wasn't that farce? Well, this Is the way

tempered as to admit Of lively work on the
field without the Contestants becoming over
heated. The game, however, was not in
keeping with the weather, bang ragged in
spots, but still, the playing at times was
above the average. A number of put-outs
and assists were of the phenomenal class,
notably CahilPs circus catch in left fed,
few OF keilly's stops and Thompsons's one
hand blocking If hot grounders.
The game ran along evenly for the first
three innings, both sides having scored one
run. In the fourth for the CALIFORNIA; base
hits, battery errors and field laundering
came thick and fast and seven uuearned
runs were secured by Charley Sweeney's
