A Tune of Ancient spain.

A Tune of Ancient spain. It was a summer morning All iu the hush of dawn. While dewdrops were adorning As yet the velvet lawn: And I while idly straying Adown c leafy lane, Heard unseen harpstrings playing A tune of ancient Spain. could not quite recover The music's vanished name, Yet, conjured thus, lover And maid before me came. He was a wooer slightly. Her eyes were stars above That beamed upon him brightly The while he sang of love. The strumming full and golden That drifted from afar, Became ditty olden, Played on a sweet guitar: With cloak thrown OCT his shoulder, And face uplifted pale, He sang a song that told her Of love that ne'er should fail. He sang in tones of sorrow, A soft and fearful strain That he was off tomorrow Away to the wars of Spain; But when the wars were ended, He pleaded in tenor grand, He'd come by fame attended And claim her lily hand. Alas, for my romancing! Alas, for knight and maid. For through a gateway glancing saw the wight that played; A beggar sad as any That ever strolled the street, Was harping for a penny That ditty old and sweet. O blessed music, smiling Fen on beggar's skill, And through such means beguiling My spirit where you will. In dust the maid is lying, Her knight long since was slain, And from their graves came signing That tune of ancient Spain.

STATE LEAGUE.
A Fine Opening for Managers to Or
game One.
There is Now No State League, and
Nobody Appears to Have Any
''Cinch'' on franchises.

So it is apparently settled that Sacra-
mento and Oakland will not be in the
Interstate Baseball League, should the
present consolidation plan be carried out.
But there is no reason why just as good
a league cannot be formed, as has been
suggested, by Sacramento, Oakland and
Fresno, and possibly Vallejo or Stock
ton. All of these are good baseball cities,
and such league might become just as
popular as that of the magnates who i'm
agine they have "cinch" on California
baseball.
There is one thing that certainly would
make such league popular, and that is
to have the clubs composed as largely as
possible of home talent. This would
create local rivalry, and that is what
stimulates good attendance at games.
Imported players and imported man
ayers do not take" with the public, es-
pecially when the majority of the games
played by them are not up to the average
amateur standard.
Let the San Francisco, San Jose and
Los Angeles managers keep their men
travelling to and fro between Seattle and
Los Angeles, if they wish to-that will
not interfere with Central State League
to any extent.
And, for that matter, what is there to
hinder somebody from getting up q sec
ond San Francisco team and entering the
State League? There will be weeks and
weeks-six Of them at a time, according
to the contemplated coast schedule
during which the Los Angeles-Seattle
combination will not be seen on a San
Francisco diamond. and during that time
the people there will almost forget them
a State League could be organized with
San Francisco, Sacramento, Oakland and
Stockton, leaving out Fresno and Vallejo
or by substituting one of the latter for
| Stockton, in case the latter city did not
care to enter the field. If nonresident
players should be preferred surely the
country has enough baseball talent lying
| idle to fill all the ranks with first-class
players, and everything should go on as
/ of yore.
If new State League were to be organ
/ lied, and the interstate plan now on foot
| should prove failure-as it is very GER
/ tain TO do-those self-important magnates
! who have presumed to carry things with
/ such a high hand will find themselves
next summer the owners of nothing but
! wortheless franchises that cannot be
! recognized by the State League.
! Now is the time for aspirants for base
ball management to get in their work.
Colonel Robinson, the man who has so
successfully managed Oakland's teams in
the past, surely is not going to stand idly
by and see the opportunity escape him TO
add TO his fame as baseball manager and
at the same time get even on those man
ayers who have sought to freeze him out.

We're thoroughly well pleased with Mas
ter Fosters musical exhibition. This
blind boy we have already pronounced a
phenomenon, a musical wonder. and a
lad of remarkable genius. A second
hearing confirmed the first impression
and intensified It, Last evening, in ad-
dltlOn to his brilliant performances upon
the piano and violin, he played one Of his
own compositions upon the clarionet,
and in response to an enthusiastic encore
played The Carnival of Venice" He
was frequently encored, and with the
utmost liberality responded both upon
| the violin and piano. His programme
( last evening included selections from
Wallenhaupt, Thalberg, Wallace, Flo

Smith. He goes tonight to Auburn to
give concert there, and ought to receive
a cordial welcome from the appreciative
people Of that place. Master Foster was
assisted last evening by Professor George

presided and introduced the accomplished
lad.
