team Of the Y. NJ. G. A. and the Baltimore Y.
NJ. C. A. nine. The local nine has met with but
one defeat. the first game Of the season, played
with the Kendalls, other than the game against
the Baltimore Y. NJ. C. A. team played in the
monumental city May 80. The ball game will
be followed by a series of contests in the track
and field. The sports will include silt, wheel
barrow sack, three legged. egg, potato, slow
bicycle and obstacle races.
The egg race will consist in any number of
young men starting with one egg each held in a
spoon with one hand and the successful man will
be he who touches the tape first with the egg in
tact. The potato race will be lively, as it
requires picking up of the tubers and bring
ing them singly to the place of deposit and
going for more. the winner being the one who
gets his number home first but the most fun is
likely to center around the obstacle race. which
will be elaborate in its detail. Each contestant
will be lying on his back with his head in the
direction in which is to run. The course will
be imme diately inside the bicycle track and
consist OF making the circuit only once. After
getting up from the position at the discharge OF
the pistol the first obstacle will be three HURDLES
feet inches high and 10 feet apart, next Dwo
benches used for the base ball mines to wait
their turn upon, then each man meets
barrel on end which he is expected to pass
through. The specifications call for barrels with
out slivers and nails, then four hurdles 3 feet
inches high and 10 yards apart. The
prospect of run over ploughed
ground awaits the contestant, and
ladder with rounds three feet apart and at an
angle Of forty-ive degrees. This must be
climbed over, then swinging barrels to go
through, ropes suspended from beam fifteen
feet high and beam to be cleared. rough
board fence five feet high will impede the on
ward rush to a tub Of water with stools, on one
of which the athlete is to sit while he fishes for
an apple in tub Of water without the privilege
OF using his hands Having secured his annie
he must eat it before he goes farther. But the
goal is not yet, for before him is a net spread
close to the ground, fairly tight, under which
he must go and come out on the proper side.
The distance is not great to the starting point,
which he is likely to welcome.
The members are enthusiastic over the affair
and feel that while they will have jolly time
themselves they will afford great amusement to
those who fear the crowded boats or noise of
firecrackers. There is ample room for a big
crowd in the grand stand and bleachers and
the formation of the park is such that the spec
tators can see readily from every point.

And draws by perpetual check.

SIMULTANEOUS CHESS AT THE HOME CLUB.
Tuesday evening Mr.. I. Y. knight played
simultaneously against three strong play
ers-Capt. Key and Messrs. Durham and
Macfarland. Capt. Key defended Scotch
gambit but was compelled to resign after
twenty moves, the Simultaneous player having
gained q rock and knight by brilliant COM
bination initiated by the sacrifice of a piece
Mr. Durham also defended a Scotch gambit
and succeeded in getting a clear piece in the
opening. but gave it back in order to extricate
himself from a complicated mating net. and
Mr.. Knight eventually won the game after a
prolonged ending. Mr.. Mcfarland PLAYED a
Petrof's defense, and scored the game on the
twenty-third move.
NOTES.
The London Erening Neus and Post in q
review Of the Lasker- Blackburne match states
that one game Is so much like the other that a
repetition Of the course of play in each game is
unnecessary. The usual description is an I'M
eventful opening, which is correctly defended
by Lasker. An attempt by Blackburne about
the fifteenth or twentieth move. or whereabouts,
to get up some sort Of an attack. Successful
thwarting OF that intention by Lasker, resulting
in leaving one or two vulnerable points in
Blackburne's game. Detection Of these en-
feebled points by Lasker; very clever utilization
Of these chances by Lasker in forming an at
tack In the middle or end game. Invariable
success Of these efforts, and finally resignation
OF Blackburne in fifty-one moves. The coin
cidence Of description even applies to the num-
Der of moves.
The score in the Jellett- Bigelow match for
the chess championship of Minnesota stands
three to one in the formers favor. The match

In the Won Bsrdelen- Walbrodt match the
fourth and sixth games were drawn. but Wal.

when he sobered up to find in an inside pocket
a deed to some Chicago land II was made out
in his name AND was quite perfect in its make
up. How it came to be in his pocket or where
it came from he could not explain. He had not
been talking real estate to any one while sober
and knew Of no one who had been with him.
The fact that he had been relieved Of some
money told him that some one had entertained
the idea that an even exchange was no robbery.
1t was clear that the parties who had taken his
cash had given him the deed The manner in
which he had gotten IL told him that 1t was not
priced over highly by the former owners. Like

understood that he would nominate
Cleveland. A fresh installment OF
ellis greeted the governor as he faced
the convention. When quiet was
restored he began his speech, proceed

mild applause until he stated that if
there was any doubt resting in his
mind of the result of the national con-
test he would not urge in behalf of his
state the views of it's Democracy in
favor of Grover Cleveland. The men
ton of his name was the signal for a
thunder of cheers. 1t was the first
time the name of cleveland had been
mentioned from the platform of the
convention, and for nearly Is minutes
the clamor was maintained. Men,
women, spectators and delegates went
wild with excitement. Life-sized por-
traits of Cleveland came into view at
various points, and as each one rose a
fresh wave was added to the ocean
of sound. Ten minutes after the
commotion began cheers bee me a
little less, but after an instant of ebb

Neal's motion to strike out and sub

Patterson of Colorado, representing
the minority committee resolutions,

"that prince of tariff reformers, VIM.

that the words made little
difference. Protection could be
denounced day in and day out, and
it was only question of words with
which to do it. AT this point Chair
man Jones announced on behalf Of
the committee the acceptance of the
amendment as an addition to the tariff
section of the platform as recorded.
Amid much confusion the proposition
of the resolutions of the committee
was lost sight of, and it was decided
to call the roll on the amendment
offered by Neal. The confusion in
creased, and the chairman was vainly
pounding with his gavel and calling
on the sergeant-at-arms to put an end
to the seemingly determined effort to
yell the roof off.
Confusion worse confounded reigned
supreme. Chairman Wilson called
vainly for order as the sergeant-at-
