WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The manage

cided to postpone their races until Jan.

case of the booimakers arrested yester-
day. A very small crowd was in at

ity of the sporting fraternity remained
in the city to be present at the hearing
of the Bennington case. About o'clock
word was received at the track that the
case had boen nolle pressed and the
men rearrested on an indictment by the
grand jury. This news seemed to throw
cold water on the crowd, as they con-
sidered it almost a certainty that the
case would be dismissed in the police
court. and racing be allowed to proceed.

INTEREST MANIFESTED.
Bobby Dobbs and Tommy Murray
to Meet.

to Meet.
The much-discussed boxing contest
between Bobby DobbS and Tom Murray
takes place at the Twin City Athletic
club tomorrow night. The sale of seats
for this event has been very large, and
the management feels confident that
the auditorium will be packed. The
contestants are in excellent condition,
and Will find no difficulty in coming
the 14S-pound limit. The contest will
be strictly on its merits, and the best
man will win. Dannie Needham, It is
understood, will challenge the winner.
Considerable interest has attached
itself to the outcome of this contest,
owing to the somewhat unsatisfactory
ending of the match between the two
men during the recent boxing tourna-
ment. Murray's friends are confident
he will make better showing in this
contest, and Dobbs' adherents are
equally confident of the performance
their man will give. When Murray and
Dobbs met in the tournament, neither
was in first-class condition. Murray
was soft aid too heavy, and DobbS was
just recovering the use of d bIoken arm.

troit and ST. Paul - Another

Inquiry into base ball matters last
night revealed the fact that there are
excellent reasons to believe that. not
withstanding matters are not moving
with that extreme repidity that is desir-
able, st, Paul may get into the Western
Base Ball league. Mr.. Vanderbeck,
upon whom the decision rests as to
whether st. Paul is TO displace Detroit.
is still at Los Angeles, Cal, and has not
yet started for st. Paul, as has been Ell
roneously announced. John S. Barnes
received telegram from him yesterday
instructing him to hold his mali until he
arrives. Mr.. Vanderbeck did not state
in his dispatch when he should start,
but he certainly intends to come,
and that probably soon. Mr..
Barnes states that there is
very 1attering offer awaiting Mr.. Van
derbeck on his arrival here. which he is
likely 10 accept. Should he do so, st.
Paul will go into the league, The talk

ton, That city has its franchise, has

as originally stated, between st. Paul
and Detroit. If Mr.. Vanderbeck agrees
to let St. Paul into the league. to make
the matter binding, the other members
must agree, also. There is but little
doubt that they Will agree.
1t will interest st. Paul base ball en-
thusiasts to know that James Duryea,
the pitcher with the old ST. Paul club,
is i'll the city. He is the guest of Wal
ter Wilmot. Duryea is the man that
Barnes sold to Cincinnati for 81, 500 in
1855.
Mr.. Duryea was seen by GLOBE re-
porter last night. He said he was now
living in Iowa, and was open to any
nrSt-clasS engagement.
Now comes the report, which John S.
Barnes says is probably true. that a
minor league, made up of Lincoln,
Omaha. st. Joseph. Des Moines, Du-
buque, Davenport, Rock Island, Peoria
and Springfield, will be formed. This
new league, if formed, will not be eX-
actly competitor of the Western

A Frlend of the Farrner.

The hop growers of Otsego county
have discovered what naturalists have
long been trying to make farmers under
stand-that skunks, instead of being
their enemies, as they formerly supposed
are among their most useful friends. As
one hop grower expressed it, Nowadays
we protect skunks as carefully as we do
song birds"
Hop yards, it appears, are infested by
certain kind of grub which gnaws off
the tender vines at the root, and this
grub is the favorite food of the skunk
As general thing the sl1unks sally
forth at nightfall, but now and then they
are TO be seen at work in broad daylight.
The proceeding is an interesting one to
watch.
The skunk begins his quest ON the edge
of the yard, where he cocks his head over
a hill of hops and listens If grub is
at work upon one of the four trailing
vines, his quick ear is sure to hear it. At
once he begins to paw up the earth, and
presently he is seen to uncover the grub
and swallow it with unmistakable relish.
Then he listens again, and if he hears
nothing proceeds to the next hill. And
so he goes on till he has had his fill.
Now that the skunks are no longer
molested, they have become compara-
lively fearless Sometimes, we are told,
they keep up their operations even while
the cultivator is driven between the
rows.-Cor. New York Tribune.

A picturesque party of Italian immi.

other day. There were about a dozen
men and six or eight women. The men
wore clothing Of a rough, buff colored
material. with scarfs and caps of bright
er hues. The women displayed variety
OF gay colors-red, yellow, blue and pink
predominating. Each woman was bare.
headed, but each wore ribbons in her
hair and a l11ght colored shawl or apron.
The strangers attracted great deal of
attention as they struggled up Broadway
from the Gattery with their bundles.
They evidently found as much novelty
IN their surroundings as the New York.
ers found in their quaint appearance.
The women apparently had the keenest
observation and pointed out to their
more stolid male companions various OBJ
jects as the party moved along.
AT Rector street they saw a flower
stand, and half dozen of the women
gathered about it and gave vent to volu-
BILE expressions of delight. They dragged
some of the men before the stand and
gesticulated violently. The men tried
TO pull away from them, but could not.
After awhile some pieces of money came
out of the mems pockets, and with
much eagerneSs and chattering the wom-
en- selected one flower apiece. The ven
dor took his pay out of the handful Of

party moved on, both men and women

A man of unquestioned veracity
vouches for the truth of this fish story
His friend, who lives few miles in the
country, set line for catfish one day.
In the morning when he went after the
fish he found them in abundance, and
on one line he found q large owl that
must have been terror 10 birds and
fishes when alive. The line was wound
around the body and the neck of the
owl, and the fish bore marks of the owls
talons, showing that the owl had caught
the fish after the hook had caught it,
and in its efforts to fly away with the
fish it had been ensnared by the line,
after which the fish had its inning by
drowning the owl,
AT any rate the owl was dead and the
fish, though disfgured, was still in the
swim and playing the line with vigor
that caused the line to bob up and down
with the irregularity of the cotton IN
ket. The drowned owl is ON exhibit
as a witness to the truth Of the stol
and the fish, though the finest of the
catch, escaped the frying pan, and now
has steady job as an owl catcher. The
fisher set him for owls. Valdosta Cor.
