WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Gen. Russell A. Alger, who was seen
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel few min
utes previous TO his leaving for his home
in Detroit, said very feelingly: 1T will
be impossible for me TO write anything
for you at this time for the symposium.
| have Just had a great affliction in the
loss of my daughter, and l can assure
you when you speak TO me about my
mother, tits a very tender subject to me.
The last time saw her was only twelve
wears old, and she babe me goodbye
with the words: God bless you, my
bow; do right always The greatest re-
gret of my life has ever been that did
not have the opportunity TO make her
uncomfortable as would have liked"
A young poet in New York, whose de-
votion and loyalty to the memory OF his
mother is so strong that he will not per-
nit anyone in his presence to speak
lightly of any woman, says his mothers
favorite expression was: Never under
any circumstances do anything mean. "
Mayor Grants mother died when he
was but sixteen months old.
Col. Robert G.. IngerS0ll was little
tot OF two years when his mother passed
away and Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott, pas
tor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, has
been equally unfortunate in the loss OF
his mother.
III all the pleasant facts in connection
with the compiling of this symposium
could be printed it would make an in
teresting story in itself.

Perhaps that is the reason why old ten
mis- players call badminton lazy peo'
pies game. When such sturdy athletes
as Hamilton Carey and Stanley Morti'
mer and such clever tennis experts as
Miss Annie Webb, Miss Turnure, Miss
Minturn and Miss Elsie Mitchell play
and enjoy the game, however, it can
safely be assumed that there is plenty
of exercise in it.
The rules of badminton are so simple
that they can be summarized in para
graph. There is no authoritative Amer
lean body like the National Tennis as
ISOLATION, but the English rules are
used.
The sides toss for choice of ends or
service before the first game Of a match
and change to the other side OF the net
after each game. The singlehanded
and double-handed game consists OF -
aces. At '13 ALL" the side which first
reaches 10 has the option OF setting"
five; at IA all" of setting" three. In
three-handed or four-handed games the
game consists of 81 aces. First set is at
"l9 all, second at 800 ALL" A fault
made by a player whose side is
in puts a hand out; If made by a
player whose side is out it
counts an ace to the in side. 1t is a
fault if the service is ''overhand;" IL
the first part of the path of the shuttle
cock is inclined downward; if the serv-
ice falls into the wrong court; II the
service falls short of the service line or
outside tho houndinu limo. unlaSS both
the servers feet are in his own court; if
the shuttlecock falls outside the bounds
OF the court, il the shuttlecock does not
pass between the posts, or if it pass I'M
der or through the net or touch any
thing except the bat of the striker or
the top of the net; If the shuttlecock be
hit twice Intentionally by the same
player; If the shuttlecock be struck be-
fore it crosses to the strikers side OF
the net; If the striker touch the net or
its supports with his rackets or other
wise.

The tennis season of 1891 has fairly
begun, and from present appearances 1t
will be the liveliest one that has ever
been known in this country. There was
a prospect earlier in the season that
badminton might supplant the older
game in favor, but every one concerned
now scouts the possibility of such re-
suit. No one, naturally, takes a keen
er interest in the question than the
makers of tennis goods, and they re-
port the largest advance sales on rec
ord. 1t is one of the not TO be forgotten
consequences of the popularity of lawn
tennis that the manufacture and sale OF
nets, rackets, lawn markers, shoes and
uniforms has become a great industry.
1t is only very few years since all these
goods were imported from England, the
home of the game; now they are prac-

Considerable Satire Mixed with

When Col. Joe Prescott was editor and
proprietor of the EaStboro Mass GLOBE,
that influential journal enjoyed a repu'
tation for unveracity and misrepresen-
tation such as no newspaper on earth
had ever deserved before. There was a
tradition that a truthful statement had
once crept into the Globe, and that the
Colonel had editorially apoligized for it
the next morning on the plea that 1t was
a typographical error.
remember that the date line on the
Globe got" pied" one day so that it read

familiar with the sheet said that 1t was
hundred years nearer the truth than
anything else in that issue. was run
ming for the State Senate from the dis
trict in which Eastboro was situated, in
1888, and the Globe was against me. 1t
always was against every good man.
However, it did not hurt me much.
Nearly all the allegations made against
me by the opposition were true, and the
Globe wouldn't print the truth under
any provocation, so it said very little
about me, and hammered away at other
men on the ticket who had characters
which were susceptible of being mis-
represented TO their detriment.
In the heat of the canvass, | met the
colonel on the street in Eastboro, one
day, and he expressed desire to get a
statement of my views for the Globe.
This was embarrassing. In the first
place, hadn't any views, and in the
second place, l knew that it wouldn't
make any difference what / really said,
for the colonel would write the inter-
view to suit himself, filling it with
abuse of my friends, and support of
every pernicious doctrine he could in
vent
