The Boston Zingari cricket team started .
weeks games yesterday with the clubs of New
York They chose the Staten Island e. G. as
their first opponents, and the result was that
they sustained n defeat by 80 runs The game
was lost. however, by poor work in the field. ard
the department which the visitors expected 10
prove their strongest turned out to 10 really
their weakest. j. Grierson gave three chances
in his innings of 81, while +. II. Moeran was
very badly missed in the slips when he had made
only runs.
BY batting first on easy wicket the visitors
made n very good start, and 80 was up before
the first wicket fell. A. Whitehouse also helped
to increase the total, while the veteran j. How
ard showed frst-class form, and scored quickly
and well. lie gave no palpable chance in his in-
ming OF 4S, which was really the best effort of
the match After he went out, II. Whitcroft had
q merry inning for 30. while j. B. Thorpe. II.
George and w. o. Wilkinson all succeeded in
getting into double figures. The innings closed
for 134. J. II. Lambkin had bowled in capital
form for the Island era, his seven wickets cost
ing only 30 runs, while no less than three
chances were missed Off him. Wright was also
on the wicket, but the two that he obtained
The Islanders started their inning in good
shape, w. A. Hamilton and J. Grierson making
a capital stand for the first wicket. The former

on catch to long:Qff after a good
inning for 80; +. II. Moeran, having
been missed, settled down to good work, and
he exhibited some OF his old-tme form in a
merry inning for As. After he retired
the bowling became quite easy. and r. Kelley
Cole and j. Tying both scored rapidly until the
total was carried well over the second century.
The inning was over for 223. A. WhitcrOft
did by far the best bowling for the Zingaris. but
the other men, except j. B. Thorpe, who might
have been kept on longer proved to be very ex-
pensive.
With an hour left for play, the Boston men
went in for their second inning but when they
had lost n wicket for nine runs the storm broke
and put an end to further play for the day. i.

CREATURES OF HABIT.
The Hermits Who Live in the Big Down
Town Office Buildings.


The hotel hermits are more widely
known than the hermits CT the bio
office buildings, but the latter come in
for a good deal of comment in a desul-
tory way, and are apparently proud of
their SeclusiOn. There are men in the
big hotels, says the New York Sun, who
boast Of not having wandered more
than two or three blocks from the
building in years. Other hotel hermits
go to their Offices every morning. re-
turn at certain time in the after
noon, and then remain steadfastlv in
doors until the following day They
are intimately acquainted with all
the gOings on in the big hostelrv
which serves them as a home. and
have an active interest in it's various
departments. The hermits of the Of
flee buildings sometimes sleep in them.
but as rule they have lodgings some
where in the lower part of the town,
where they put in eight or ten hours
out of the twenty-four. But at all
other hours they are to be found in the
big building which serves them as an
Office, and practically as home.
A great number of men 90 to the
Equitable building at half-past seven
o'clock in the morning, attend to their
Office duties, eat breakfast. luncheon
and dinner at. the restaurant. get
shaved and have their boots polished
in the building, and remain there IN
til ten or eleven o'clock every night
After a time the place gets to be sort
CT home to them, and what would
seem to be hardship to other men
really becomes, through habit, q second
nature to these inmates. Any PROPOSE
ton TO leave the building to fulfill an
an appointment outside. at any hour of
the day, is crowned down promptly.

to them come the monster English bat
tleships of the Royal Sovereign class,
vessels of 14,150 tons displacement.
These in turn will be surpassed by the
Magnificent and Majestic, each of

largest armor-clad over which the

The Italians have come to the cOnclu-
sion; that is Indicated by the dimen-

displacement. The determination of
France and the United States to keep
their battleships under T., 900 tons was
deliberately taken by each govern

efficiency. In this policy Russia also
agrees. the largest of her arIlOr-cladS

The English have authorized two
cruisers of $4,000 tons each, being de-
termined to see the Ruril1 and 90 her
3.lO0 tons better. AS in the case of
armor-clads England stands alone in
accepting this challenge. Her Blake
and Blenheim are not only exceeded by
the Rurik but by the Spanish Empera-
dor Carlos V. which has 0,335 tons dis
placement. The largest French cruiser
in active service is the DEntrecas-
teauX. Of 1900 tons, but the Jeanne

than Germany's leader. the Kaiserin
