Clevelands Esper was substituted in the

Childs. the first batter, sent a grounder
toward Cartwright, and Mercer, in an at

his ankle. 1t looked as though he was dis

NECKAR's ISLAND THE GOAL.
That International Race Not for John
sons Island.


Whether Johnsons Island, reported to be
the goal of the international race between
the British and Hawaiian steamers. reported
in advices from Honolulu. belongs to the
United States, Great Britain or Hawaii. is
likely to have little significance at present,
for, according to the information and be-
lief Of officers of the State Department. the
real object of the race is not Johnson
Island at all. but Neckar's Island. This
island lies about 400 miles west of Honolulu.
In latitude 1894 north and longitude l64-37
west, and is nothing but a barren rock
about 800 feet long, rising 500 feet above
the waves. Once IL was covered with guano,
but II has long since been stripped and left
Cninhabited. In fact II Is incapable of sup

THE COMING BOAT RACE.
Pennsylvania Oarsmen in Their
Quarters on the Delaware.

Considerable interest is being manifested
in the intercollegiate boat race which takes
place on the upper Delaware river on FRI
day afternoon, June 10. Yesterday the
Pennsylvania crew and Coach George Wood
ruff arrived at Torresdale and took possess
sion of their quarters on the Morelton Inn
grounds. The Cornell crew is expected to-
night, and the members will occupy their
house, which adjoins the Pennsylvania cot
tage.
Col. Morrell proposes that the first college
race on the upper Delaware shall be a men,
CRADLE event. He has erected two buildings
fronting on Progressing creek, which has
been dredged for some distance to permit
the crews to reach the river easily. The cot
tages, which were built for the sole purpose
of housing the crews and their shells, con-
tain six sleeping rooms each. In addition to
a kitchen with every convenience a shed
for the boats occupies the lower floor. The
houses are fitted UP with shower baths,
electric lights and beds.

1.-The announcement OF Judge John H
Reagan that he will be a candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination in Texas has
made the political pot down there boil at an
amazing rate" said Nathan Leeman Of Gal
weston at the St. James yesterday. You
know Judge Reagan was postmaster gen.
eral of the confederacy and since the war
member of Congress and United States
Senator, and in the country districts of
Texas he is as strong steer. The
greater part of the Clark vote of 1892 will
be in Reagan's favor, and the remainder is
scattered between Cochran, Culberson Lam
ham and Mccall, and can't hurt Reagan
much. Then the Hoggites in the country
districts are all for him. The fight is going
to come in the state convention over the
adoption of the rules. If the Reagan men
prove to be united against adopting two
thirds rule the majority of the convention
will decide the nomination, and Reagan will
be next governor as sure as shooting. 1t
is generally admitted. anyhow, that there
are but three candidates in the race, and
these are Reagan, Lanham and Culberson.
the latter being the bright and successful
son of the Congressman of the same name,
who is injuring his boys gubernatorial
chances, by the way, by not making some
positive declaration about his senatorial

ida at Wizards last night, 1.-THE early
peaches which are now shipped to northern
markets in the late spring will be used for

interested in the business near Keuka for
several years. but We have stopped shipping
peaches this year simply because the ex-
press companies get every cent of the pro-
ceeds, or so near to ii that the remainder
is picayune. I'll give you an instance
which will suffice for all. A carrier crate
holds about three pecks, and some time ago
a shipper at Keuka sent three of them to
Philadplphia a
merchant. The crates brought So so each.
or $50 in all. From this the commission
merchant deducted his commission, amount
