An Invitation Extended to Phil Casey to
Visit This City.
The defeat of Hutchinson and McDer-
mott last Sunday by Tierney and Malloy
was surprise to old players, who had an
ticipated an easy victory for the former.
A return match, however, has been made,
and it is quite probable that the defeated
contestants will turn the tables on their OPP
ponents when they meet again.
Hugh Toner and Tom McElr0y will play
best three out of five games to-day. NJ.
Tierney will try conclusions with Jim
Leary. Peunoyer and Dillon will oppose
Condor and Malley, and the win dup of the
afternoons sport will be ''go" between
Manning and Kelly VS.. Toner and Maloney.
John RoTdan says that he will wait an
other year. in which he expects to increase
in avoirdupoiS la Corbett, before he tackles
any more players.
In the event of visit from Champion
Phil Casey, the proprietors of the local ball
courts state that they will be only too
happy to extend him the freedom of their
courts, and, Ii necessary, will assist him to
couSumnate any matches he may desire to
play.
Speaking of Riordan. the local champion.
the New OK sun says: - The defeat of
John RlOrdau, whom CalifOrnians generally
concede to be their best hand ball player,
will probably wind up the negotiations fora
match between the Frisco man and Phil
Casey. From the rather elaborate notices
that have been poured forth in praise of
Riordan the Eastern men particularly were
led to believe that Casey would at last be
brought face TO face with player whom
some persons thought was his superior.
The matter even went so far that an an
nouncement was made in the California
papers that Riordan would play Casey for
from 5000 to 5000 side. This was met
with prompt response from the latter. who
announced that he would play Riordan and
almost allow him TO name his own condi-
tons"
For fear that the Callforniaus did not in
terpret the reply of the Eastern expert cor
rectly Casey wired a dispatch to James
Wakely, while the latter was in Frisco to
witness the Corbett- Jackson fight, author
izing Wakely to see Ri0rdan and his hackers
and make match if possible. Wakely
stated that he did not have an opportunity
to call on RiOrdan, but left the matter in
charge of an intimate friend of his.
Nov comes the announcement that Rior-
dan was beaten by Mike Butler and Joe
Lawless, two of the ablest representatives
OF the San Francisco court 1t is always a
big undertaking to beat two good men, but a
player who calculates that he possesses
equal skill with Casey must accomplish that
feat or else consider himself in another class
with the champion.

had received the official notice OF the meet

accept a nomination for a second term,
which he, owing to business cares, was
compelled to decline. 1t is just as well to
have these little matters understood.

George ii. flasher has accepted Ten
EycE's challenge to row three miles for $3.50
side. The race will probably take place
at Hartford, Conn.
Of Young Gandaur, brother of the we'll
known professional oarsman, the Toronto
Empire says: Charles Gaudaur of Orilila,
younger brother of Jake's, who has done
considerable rowing in his dav, but has not
taken any active part in aquatic sports since
MS defeat by Wise three years ago. is not
averSe to trying conclusions with j. +. Cor
bett of Chicago or Dennis Donabue of Ham,
ilton. in two-mile race. Charley is very
speedy for that distance, and his friends are
OF the opinion that he can win from either
OF the ex-amaeurs. He greatly resembles
jake in physique, and, like him. has long
reach and great power. III either Donahue
or Corbett want Il race they need not have
FAR to go for one. Gaudaur arrived in the
city yesterday from South Bend, Ind. where
he has been for some time.
There Is every probability that the three
mile double-sculling race between Hanlan
and OConnor and Gaudaur and Mckay, for
$500 side, set for August 9Th, will take
place on Birmingham Bay. Speaking of the
men the New York World SAYS: Such a
race ought to be a magnificent test of oars
manship, and if contested on the level ought
to infuse new life into one of the grandeSt
sports IN the world. The very name of Han
Ian seems Synonymous with rowing to vic
tory, and If the former grand condition of
the Canadian-Amercan can only assert
itself, Gaudaur and Mckay will have to
hustle. An effort has been made to throw a
glamor of international importance over the
affair by announcing that Hanlan and
OConnor Will represent the Dominion,
while Gaudaur and Mckay will hold up the
| reputation of the States. This is rather a
weak effort, considering that all four me N
| have been as closely identified with rowin g
| in America and Great Britain as Canada.
1t Is not an easy matter to understand how
the above journal got the idea that an at
| tempt is being made to throw a gamor of
international importance over the race. If
| such were being done it would be a weak
| effort, as all four men happen to be Cana
| dIans-McKay having been born at Dart
mouth, Nova Scotia, Gaudaur at Atherey,
| Ontario. and Hanlan and O'Connor, as
| everybody knows in Toronto.

A DANGEROUS BIRTHMARK.

The Freak That Has Run Through Fami-
Iy for Two Hundred Years.
A well-known family of Minneapolis
are distinguished by a similar birth
mark, said to have been borne by every
member of the family for the past two
hundred years. However this may be
it is certain that the mark is carried by
all of them now known. 1t is small
cash like n knife wound at the base of
the neck, narrowly escaping the spinal
cord.
This cut. which resembles a fresh stab
with raw lips, refuses to be healed and
at times bleeds profuseIy and even
alarmingly. 1t is about three inches in
length and varies in depth from quar-
ter of an inch to an inch and half. in
creasing as the bearer grows older and
becoming more angry and occaslonlnG
greater loss of blood.
This peculiar birth-mark has been
the cause of death to nearly all of the
family possessing it, as after the age of
thirty-five or forty it assumes an ex-
ceedingly malignant nature, discharg-
ing pus and blood until modification
ensues. In the children it seldom
amounts to more than Il very deep
scratch, causing slight pains, but read
ily intiamed by fever or other illness.
There is attached to this popularity a
romantic story of an ancestors cow

TALKS WITH MONKEYS.
A San Francisco Man Who Is Believed

A San Francisco Man Who Is Believed to
Have Mastered the Simian Lingo.
A mysterious individual haunts Wood
wards gardens to whom is attributed
the gift of conversing with monkeys in
their own language. He is little old
man, says the San Francisco Examiner,
who has seen about three score years
and ten, but as he is always alone and
speaks to no one very little is known
about him. For nearly year past the
old gentleman has daily visited that
former popular resort, deposits the en-
trance fee, and as quickly as his fee BILE
strength will allow, and with eagerness
depicted on his scanned and weather
beaten countenance. proceeds at once
to the monkey cage
The monkeys recognize him and set
up chattering and bowling that would
CRATE on a sensitive persons nerves. but
the old man does not mind it bit He
enjoys it and beams on the quadrumana
that make every effort to reach him
through the iron bars, with an express
sion that would lead one to think that
his soul was wrapped up in them.
Finally the noise subsidies and the old
man gazes into dozen comical expec-
tant faces pressed against the bars.
with twenty-four pairs of bright eyes
looking at him, and utters few gut
tural sounds that astonish and please
the monkeys. He perfectly initiates the
sounds of most of them, and all ar
range themselves in a Semicircle and
with great seriousness listen to all he
has to say Sometimes his tone is SER
ious, when all the monkeys put on a
very abject expression and look as sor-
rowful as monkey can Then
again when the tones are different, the
monkeys will dance about with every
evidence of delight and all begin to
jabber at once, until the old man
points his finger at one of the largest.
All remain sileat while he seemingly
carries on a conversation with one of
the older ones, initiating all of the
grimaces and actions of monkey as
well as any human being could
Sometimes the conversation lasts an
hour or more. when the little man bids
his friends adieu until the morrow.
It is said by some that the little man
was once a sea captain. whose crew
were murdered by the natives on the
coast of Brazil, and he made his escape
to the forests of the interior with no
companions but the monkeys for many
months, and subsisted entirely on
the wild fruits and other food berries
that he could gather. 1t is supposed
that he obtained some knowledge Of
their method of communication during
the months Of his enforced residence in
the wilderness that enable him to en-
gage the attention of the monkeys at
Woodward's gardens
When accosted the cd man will not
reply, and his mysterious behavior is a
source of much comment.

anced, the short arm being little the
heavier. If it is not SO. box of stone
placed on top of that part of the lever
will make it right.
Now for the method of operation
! The gate of the cage next to the pen
is raised, and it being several feet with
in a narrow passage and in a corner of
the pen. there is no great difficulty in
driving an animal into it. The gate is
now closed and the cage with the
animal in it is lifted from the ground
by pulling down on the outer end of
the lever. For this purpose chain is
attached, and when drawn down is
hung on stout iron pin driven into the
post. The lever is thus held in position
while the weighing is done. A plank
laid across the fence above the cage
serves as platform for the weigher.
If it is desired to put the animals
into wagons after weighing, the gate
next the inclined plane is raised and
they are easily driven up.
The inclined plane is not a necessary
attachment to the scales, as each may
be used independently of the other but
it will be found most convenient to
have them connected as described.
The advantage claimed for this de-
vice is not that of general service as
scales, for it can never take the place
of good platform scales. But because
of their great cost few farmers can af-
ford these, yet there is scarcely one
who has not occasion to use something
of the kind just described. Its low cost
places it within the reach of all. and
once in possession. it will be used much
more frequently than might be sup
posed.-S. Z. Shuu, in Rural New
Nnrlser.
