acres, which has been turned into breeding

six, which are about to be turn out among the

deer are to t;.k Ike their place in the park.
Colonel William F. Fox, warden in the state

He stated that he was about TO go 10 the woods
TO get some deer.
"The way In which we shall get them Is as

experiment. With numb of wardenS and

''At any rate. we can only try these ways and

enough to take care OF them. They will get on

LANTERNS IN THE SEA.

the ''midshipmite," carries the brightest and
most striking OF all these sea torches Along
the back under it and at the base OF its fins
there small disks that glow with a clear

Handbali.

This afternoon a number of amateur
players of the Olympic Club will visit
Ryan's court. on Howard street. to wit
cess the games that will be played be-
tween professional players. A tirst-c!ass
programme of games has been arranged by
the manager of the court, and, no doubt,
much valuable information will be cleaned
by the amateurs from those who have
mastered handball. The professionals
style of tossing and hitting the ball Is vast
ly different To that which IS seen at the
Olympic courts daily.
AS previously stated. the Olympic play
ers have stiff aud awkward methods OF
playing, which will prove hard TO remedy
unless they are instructed by some pro-
fessiOnal in the very near future. AS an
indoor game il ranks above all other
branches of sport, and its popularity among
Olympians is very marked.
