SIX. In the fifth hand each had cipher,
but In the sixth Jones tossed all over the
court and ran out, the game standing
q to 10.
There was an intermission of ten min
utes, which was spent In speculatlng as to
whether or not Jones would win three
straight games. 1t was conceded that
Riordan's chances of overtaking his agile
opponent were remarkably slim, but some
bets were made that he would win the
next game, those willing to bet taking their
cue from what happened the previous Sun
day after the intermission.
1t proved the longest and most exciting
game of the series. Eleven hands were
played before it was concluded. Jones
with two. Nothing was added in the next
two. In the fifth hand Riordan by good
tossing and fine back-hand play forged
ahead of Jones and kept ahead till the
eighth hand, when Jones made seven, the
score standing Is to II. Riordan followed
with an ace and in the ninth each failed to
score. Jones, amid tremendous excite
ment, made four in the tenth. 1t was
thought he would win the remaining ace
and the match, but Riordan was sharply
attentive and made a beautiful "kill, - to
the delight of the excited spectators.
Audible comments were heard all over
the galleries expressing the hope that
Riordan would win, and as he scored three
aces in succession the excitement in
creased. When Jones killed the next
ball the disappointment was correspond
ingly great.
'.It's all up with Riordan now" was the
general remark, as Jones tossed the ball
Rlordan, by dexterous back-hand shoot,
sent it against the front wall, and Jones
as deity returned it. Then Riordan' right
foot sent it back and Jones missed it.
Riordan wanted five aces to win, and
amid the widest excitement he added one
after the other till he piled up the five.
He was loudly cheered.
The eighth, and last, game was a walk
over for Jones. He kept Riordan running
all over the court and won the game and

SCRATCH TEAMS AT HURLING.

Hard Practice Being Done Before the
Big Game.
Some hard work is being done by the
patrons of hurting at Central Park pre-
paratory to the big game to take place on
Washington's birthday.
Captain Palmer and Jerry Cronin are
after the best men, and played two scratch
teams yesterday, beginning at IL o'clock
and continuing the practice until 2. Palmer
won the toss, and took the lower goal,
having the wind in his favor. Referee
Ryan lodged the ball all over the field and
watched the game as closely as he could
through the dust.
For the first ten minutes the play was
fast and furious, several sticks being broken
in the scrimmage. The first goal was
scored by a quick pass from Grant to
Palmer. Desmond, Ryan and Mellott
worked the ball down the field again and
scored the second goal for Palmer's men
Just as the first half ended.
In the second half, Buckley, by a good,
hard lick, put the ball between the stakes
and scored goal for Cronin's men. An
other point was added to the score by
WEIGH.
Dewane, Mccarthy and Palmer scored in
the order named, making the Palmer
record five goals to two by Cronin's men.
The game was watched by quite number
of people, who applauded the players at
each good effort. The practice will be con-
tinued next Sunday.

A Lady Shoots Alone.

The rife ranges at Shell Mound Park
were occupied all day yesterday by enthu-
siastic sportsmen and National Guards
men, in the very teeth of a bitterly cold
northeast wind that made shooting disa-
greeable work.
So strong was the wind that it frequently
ruined scores on many marksmen by divert

This would not be so bad were the breezes
coming down from the north less gusty
and cold. AS it was, however, sudden
gusts would spring up, to the annoyance
of shooters anxious for a big score, and the
temperature was so low that guns were
often handled only with great difficulty.
The first shooters to arrive were Batteries

FOOTBALL In THE WIND
The Parnells Defeat the San Fran

The Game Holly Contested From Start
to Finish, With Blood Freely
Flowing.

What the football game in Central Park
lacked yesterday in attendance was made
up by the amount of fine earth settling on
the bleachers. The Parnelis and San Fran
ciscos were billed to come together, and
they came. After the battle was over the
Parnells had Z points to their credit,

be the best of nine games.
The first four games were played on SUM-
day afternoon, January 90, at the San
Francisco court, on Howard street. Each
player won two games, which led many to
believe that Riordan might win. The bet
ting at first had been in favor of Riordan,
then it veered round in favor of Jones, and
finally it was even money.
The remaining games were played at the
Occidental court, on Grove street, yester-
dav afternoon. The intense interest aroused
in the match was shown by the large at
tendance in the court. Both galleries were
crowded, and among the spectators were
some old men who had not played game
for over a quarter of century. The other
courts were well represented and so was
the Olympic Club. Among those present
were J. G. Nealon, DR.. E. ]. Greedy, G. j.
McGlynn, P. F. Mccormick, William Nc
Manus, Phil Ryan, T. j. Curley, John Pur-
cell, W. w. Ackerson, George E. Ackerson,
J. D. Stanley, Al Hampton, r. Linehan,
J. Harlow, Dennis DAILY and other we'll
known players.
The court after the alterations, which
were completed last Wednesday, presented
a fine appearance. The front wall all the
way up is now of solid concrete and is of
immense advantage to the players In re-
turning a ball. It is now one of the finest,

Riordan is terror with his feet, and his

Mckay was found shortly before 10
o'clock by the landlord and taken to the Re-

He claimed he did not know how the
gas became turned on as he had no inten-
ton of ending his life. He had taken care,
however, to stuff the keyhole and all the
cracks in the room with paper before re-
firing. He is now suffering from delirium

THE OVEIDO PEACH.

Mr.. w. d. Griffing, of the Pomona
Nurseries at Macclenny, Fla, has a
peach with the above name which he
recommends very highly. The following
is his description of it:
This remarkably fine peach origi
mated on the grounds of S. j. Kenard,
jr., of Waldo, Fla, from seed of the
Honey. Color, shape and general ap-
pearance resembles the Waldo; size large
to very large, often measuring nine
inches or more in circumference, pit
very small; quality best, having a rich,
vinous favor, that suits the taste equal
to almost any Northern peach, flesh
light, streaked with red and very firm,
ripening evenly from skin to pit and on
both sides; freestone; blooms with ma
tive peaches; is sure and abundant
bearer; ripens early in July, at a season
when peaches are most wanted in mar
ket, it being just after the early ones
are gone and before the bulk of the ma
tive crop comes in"

FOR several years a peach orchard from

very fast, it being no uncommon occur
renee to see suckers twelve feet ong pro-
duced in one season. The roots of the
trees are entirely free from the attacks
of parasites such as are annoying the
peach growers in other states, and the
skin of the root growth remains smooth
and clean. The ''yellows" and ''borers"
are also unknown to the peach growers
here.-Bartow Informant.

Then came the Peen-to from the East
Indies, rlpening still earlier, and des-
tined to give the section of Florida of

all requirements. This peculiar shaped
fruit, good variety itself for South
Florida, has been improved upon, by
selection, and by crossing with Spanish

A NEW RACE OF PEACHES.

The peaches grown in other peach
regions of the country and which are
known to pomologists as the Persian
race, proved a complete failure in Pen
insular Florida. Not many years ago
the only peaches we grew were native
seedlings, not of the Persian race, but
having a long ancestry of their own, and
sometimes called the Spanish race, but
these ripened too late in the season to
be profitable for shipment TO Northern
markets. Later we obtained the Honey

Peaches.

In recent issue of Nurseries and
Orchards" published by Stark Bros, of
Louisiana, Mo-, we noted an interesting
article on peaches and their adaptability
to deep sand soil. No one will question
but that this is what we have to perfec-
ton in the lake region Of South Florida.
AS far as our experience of two years
goes, we are beginning to have great
faith in peach culture for people on the
Pabor Lake Colony lands In March,
1898, we planted fifty trees, received
from the famous Glen St. ' AIRY Nursery
of Mr.. G. l.. T aber. We had ten varie-
ties, all Of Peen-to parentage, and five of
these the new kinds recently introduced
by Mr.. Taber under plumbers, but now
known as Colon, Sangmel, Triane, Fer
dinand and Taber. Last year, on the
Waldo and on Bidwell's early, we gath
cred few peaches; these fruited In one
year from planting. All the trees have
made since them a healthy growth and
will ha>e some fruit this season.
We are so much pleased with the out
look for the peach that last month we
set out fifty more, ten other varieties; SO
that we now have twenty kinds to test
as to the best ones to grow here.
The following paragraphs are from
the article mentioned above:
1.-The ideal peach soil is deep sand.
Upon such lands the trees make hard
growth, the wood natures early, the
trees bear young and the fruit is highly
colored and favored. Regions which
have become most famous as peach
growing centers are those of a sandy
formation Some of the best orchards
are upon sands once thought to be worth
less.
Peach orchards should never be
cropped after the third year; and if they
are planted upon sandy lands, which are
best adapted to them, and particularly
if set less than 20 feet apart, they should
never be cropped from the time they
are set.
THE keynote to fertillzlng peach
orchards is potash and phosphoric
acid, and not nitrogen Ashes, muri
ate of potash, bone tertilizers-these
are some of the money-makers for peach
trees"
