When Jenn, Rode 10 Will With Ne.

Wnen Jenny rode 10 mill with me
The daisies barred their bosoms;
The spring winds rumpled every tree
And stirred a storm of blossoms.
The squirrels scampered from the hedge,
The COWS were in the clover;
The lilies trimmed the rivers edge
And dusky doves flew over.
The white road seemed TO welcome us,
BY shaken dewdrops dentcd.
The groves with song were tremulous,
BY lonely yiolets scented.
Tile mad wind seemed to envy all
The curis beneath her bonnet.
And let the dew-dashed blossoms fall
In twinkling showers on II.
How well the way old Milton knew
Ia all the springtime weather;
His back was broad enough for two.
And so-we rode together.
He loitered Ia the light and song;
He knew the spell that bound me,
And that the way was never long
While Jenny's arms were round me.
The rose had then no cruel thorn
To mar the moments blisses
The miller took his toll in corn,
And I took mine In kisses.
But time has left US far apart
Yet. though the years are many.
The dear old road runs round the heart
That frames the face OF Jenny.
And | would give the world 10 see
The daisies milk white bOsoms
Where Jenny rode 70 mill with me
Amid a storm Of blossoms.

can't get away from it. The excuse that
he has retired from the ring won't go with
the public, and Corbctt is smart enough to
know IL. My prediction is that Corbett and
Fitzsimmous will yet be forced To come to-
gether. The fact that Stuart personally
agrees to euaranteca $40, 900 forfeit makes
1t look as If hekucw what he was doing tnis

Martin Bowling said yesterday that he
was anxious to get match for his Aus
tralian protege, Jimmy Anthony. He is
perfectly willing TO pit him against Jimmy
Barry, but Barry's injured hand will pre-
vent him from entering the ring for at
least two months.
A match between Anthony and Sammy

he should weigh as much as 115. If the
match is agreed upon IL viii likely be

The talk to the effect that the Plimmer-
Palmer fight was postponed on account Of
n disagreement over the referee is without
foundation
Any one at all posted on affairs pertain
ing to the National Sporting Club of London
knows that II. j. A ngeI. the official referee,
has never been displaced in any fight since
his connection with the club. If any boxer
or manager should object to 4 ncel he would
be ordered from the club.
Tom ORourke has received n cablegram
from the Mirror of Life. London. stating
that the National Sporting Club offers a
So, 800 purse for Dixon and Willie Smith,
an Englishc fcathcrweight, who is well
thought of. Dixon is-in New York and will
train with Walcott. The latter meets La
vigne before the Empire Athletic Club De-
cenber 2, and Dixon will box Frank Ernc
before the New Manhattan Athletic Club
on December 3.
Jack McAuliTfe has been fined $40 for
assaulting an inoffensive pedestrian. If Nc
Auliffe is spelling for n fight, why not try
his hand on Walcott op Lavigne? There are
a couple OF gentlemen who will keep the
boy busy.

field there will be accommodations for
$4,000. The New York game, from a
general standpoint, Is certainly the most
important, for IL Princeton wins she will
declare herself champion, and virtually she
will he. II Yale wins she will claim the
championship, and unless Pennsylvan
can win from Harvard by larger margin
than Princeton did-that is, by more than
eight pointS-the claim will be justifiable.
Nomatter how the Pennsylva MIA Harvard
match results. it viii be impossible to justly
claim leadership. although IL Pennsy
should happen to defeat the crimson very
badly, there would be few indeed unwilling
to concede her general superiority. The
season. however, is bound to end unsatis-
factorily, no matter what the issues of to-
morrow may b,. because nothing will have
been conclusively proved as To the right

As soon as football is over with
n basketball team will be organized at Bal
timore City College.
A telegram was received from the Naval
Academy, 4 nnapolis, for a game there on
Saturday. The request has been refused
because of desire to give the men n rest
for the Thanksgiving Day at Hampton.
The second series of scull ra ces between
HaDlon and Bubear for the championship
OF England, at Galveston, Wednesday, was
won by Bubear by a length in an exciting
finish. The course was the same as that
of yesterday, and was rowed in the re-
markable time OF $50. Hanlon had the
misfortune of twice fouling the turning
stakes.
President Kerr, of the Pittsburg club, says
he does not believe he would trade Hawley
and Bauer for Taylor and Hallman, though
he believes both Quakers are strong men,
and would strengthen the Pittsburg team.

STRANGE WOMAN FIPEBUG

New York, Nov. 22.-Mrs. Nellie Louis,
Duraut Johnson, who designed dresses for
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt. now Duchess of
Marlborough, and for the Goulds and many
other persons of wealth and fashion, is in
prison charged with arson.
She lived in a tall, narrow nest of ten
little flats between Ninety-third ana Nine
ty-fourth streets, on Central Park west.
Persons who live there date their letters
from the 'Winona,' and that is satisfying
to the pride, though it may increase the

The origin was never learned. A year later
there was another small fire, but the Incl
dents are not fully recorded.
In August. 1891, a tenant found Kerosene
soaked rags burning against the door of
an empty flat on he third floor. In Novem-
Der. 1894, there was another and similar
fire.
Yesterday Fulton c. Parker who is ca
terer in downtown club and lives on the
first floor, of the Wfnona, got home at 3:15

and vice versa. In this way. the doctors
claim, that lie is holding his OWN, and what
he loses by suffering in the night he regains
during the day.
The physicians have given up all hope of
getting Mr.. Passett well enough TO attend
the opening of Congress, and while il was
great disappointment to Mr. Bassctt when
he learned that he would in all probability
be unable to attend the opening, he has now
become resigned to the fact.

in small profits and quick sales they have
been rushing it out at phenomenally low
prices. They have just received the
