CONSIDERABLE TALENT.

Revival of Skating The
Curriers' Actively Engaged in
Preparing for Two Bonspiels-
General Sporting News.
The interest in the Foley billiard
tournament continues to increase as
time goes on, and some unsupported
talent is daily developing. Summarized
fort the week-last nights game ex-
cepted-the games show: Tuesday
night, Thomas and Wilder; Thomas
defeated by Wilder. 800 to 2SS, in fifty
eight innings; Wednesday night, Glow
won from Bunker, 500 to 210. in thirty
five innings; Thursday night Thayer
defeated WiImot in fifty innings. in
score of 800 to 269; Friday night Thomas
proved a winner from Sampson in forty
nine innings, with score of 800 to 266.
Viewed as a whole, the record has
been an eminently satisfactory
one. In Tuesday nights game
Wilder retrieved himself from
the defeat suffered the previous week
at the hands of Wilmot. In his contest
with Bunker Monday night Glow played
an exceedingly brilliant game. He made
one high run of IL, and did it with ap-
parently little effort. Thayer's contest
with Wilmot Thursday night was a
peculiarly interesting game, and his
victory simply fulfilled the prophecy
made by his friends. In the game Fri
day night Sampson, although defeated,
did not diSappoinr his friends as to his
ability with the cue. He, too, made
run of IL, tieing CLOVIS score in his play
against Bunker. Thomas, the winner,
did some most remarkable work.

Aphides on Chrysanthemums, Etc.


Aphides or plant lice on both roses
and chrysanthemums are well known
pests to gardeners, but the latter are es-
pecially difficult to get rid of.
The rose aphides are easily controlled,
and anything will kill them. Pyreth-
rum, an ounce to two gallons of water;
tobacco decoction, a half pound to a gal
lon of water; whale oil soap and kero-
sene emulsion, all are effective if only
applied thoroughly and persistently.
The chrysanthemum aphides are, how.
ever, much more hardy, none Of the sub
stances above named acting in the same
proportions, according to the New
Jersey experiment station, which di-
reefs that the tobacco decoction be
half pound to quart, the
pyrethrum, an ounce to quart, the
whale oil soap and kerosene emul-
sion double strength. The dark or
black species of these insects is more
tenacious of life than the green forms.
Thoroughness is essential to success in
freeing plants, for so rapidly do these
insects multiply that even few escap-
ing will restock the plants in short
time.
Finely ground, dry tobacco busted on
conservatory plants when they are wet,
once or twice week, will keep them
clean and in healthy condition.
