Baseball seems to be the sport on the

organized the other day with thirty
members.
The Rogers thresher passed through
Mesa yesterday and will threeh at
Hymen Phelps place one half mile
east OF the city. The machine is q lit
tie one, but she runs from six to eight
months out Of the year.
The Mesa stage driver must have
lost some sleep last night, for he came
up to Mesa from Tempe this morning,
forgetting the mail. A team was at
once sent back and brought the mail
in but q few minutes later than usual.
W. L. Pomeroy came down from
Goldfeld last night. He reports work
on the 2O-stamp mill going on llowly
and steadily. They are putting up the
stamps at present 10 OF which will be

start from there afresh in the morning.
The coach | happened to catch con-
tanned a party of eXcursionists. The
road down from the summit is in all
probability the finest cut road i'll the
world, but it is steep, abOunds in sharp
turns and terrific precipices, and is not
a road one would select to go down at
full speed. Yet when the four-in-hand
turned down into the road, the driver
mashed his hat firmly on his head and
brought crack from his whip like
report Of a evolver, at which the
horses sprang forward in mad gallop.
Crack came the whip again, and with
a terrific sway the heavy coach swung
round the curve and went tearing

WATER CATS.
Many sportsmen OF the Nile Train Fuss
to Become an Expert Fisher.


to Become an Expert Fisher
Trbouoh il seems somewhat difficult
to understand how the sportsmen or
the Nile trained their cats not only To
hunt game, but to retrieve it from the
water, the hunting scenes depicted on
the walls of Thebcs afford proof of the
Ervptian cats service in this re-
spect.
In one Of these representations, says
the Boston Globe, puss is depicted in
the act of setting bird that has been
brought down by the markeman in
the boat; while in another scene the
cats are seen in the boat ready for their
work.
Thus it appears, from these ancient
illustrations of field and other sports,
that the Egyptians were able to train
their domestic cats to act in the same
way as our modern retriever dogs do.
1t is generally supposed that nothing
will induce q cat to enter water, but
this is clearly a fallacy, like many
other popular notions about the animal
world.
The tiger is an excellent swimmer, as
MANY have found to their cost; and SO
the cat, another member of the tiger
family, can swim equally well if it has
any occasion to exert its powers, either
in quest OF prey or to effect its escape
from some enemy.
As cats are exceedingly fond of fish,
they will often drag them alive out OF
their native element whenever they get
the chance.
They have even been known to help
themselves uout of aquaria that have
been left uncovered, and on moon
light nights they may be seen watching
for the unwary occupants of fish
pond, during the spawning season es-
pecially.
