William Hall. the well-known quot

of william Thorpe, another quot en-
pert. to meet him in a match and writes
the following letter to the Tribune.
Priceburg. Aug. -, 1885.
Sporting Editor of the Tribune:
Regarding the match at quoits which
was to be played at the Grove House
grounds last Saturday between William
lhol thC SuhC uiu hct
come off for some reason better known
to Thorpe and his friends. l am at a
loss to know the reason, as he has
stated he would concede me start for
amy amount that / could raise. May
be he thought could not raise a stake.
About four weeks ago when the match
was made we posted a forfeit of S. each.
Thorpe and his friends bluffed us and
wanted to put up IS more. We agreed.
but when we met on the following Sat-
urday, Thorpe and his friends would
not put any more up. When l make
match I don't mean to bluff any one,
but I mean to put up my money. So
don't wish to hear any more from
Thorpe, who believe has backed out
without any just reason. If he had
been sick, or could not play. there would
have been some excuse, but he Is Just
as good at quoits now as ever he was.
1 don't mean to bluff through the press.
but mean business, and I want Thorpe
and his friends to understand 1t.
Yours truly.

ODDITIES BY WIRE.
Hornets Hold I'M Train

Ottumwa, Ia. Aug. ia swarm of for-
nets the other day held up passenger
train on the Chicago, Fort Madison and
Des Motnes railroad, and gave the trainmen
and passengers battle that will be re-
membered longer by far than II 1t had
been against bandits. The train was rum
ming slowly up a steep grade just outside
the city, where the hillside Is covered with
trees. Suddenly Engineer Cunningham
noticed a black mass moving through the
air ahead OF the train. Had he known
what was coming he would have stopped
his engine and backed to the next sta
tion The mall cloud soon developed into
swarm Of hornets. The hornets noticed
the slowly putting engine and made for 1t.
They attacked the engineer and fireman,
who were forced to stop the train. 1t was
sultry day, and all the car windows were
open. This gave the hornets an opportu-
nifty to enter the cars and poster the pas
sengers. 1t was an hour before the train
men and passengers succeeded In driving
away the hornets. A number of persons
were severely stung. The train stopped at
a farmhouse until the injuries could be at
tended to.

TOO EXCITING FOR HIM.

A man who looked as though he had
spent the night and many others In
subtemanean waterways, the flow OF
which he had not disturbed, walked
by Madison Square garden the other
day. He staggered along under the por.
ticOs on the Twenty-seventh street side.
AS he reeled up to a big open door
where the stuffed animals and alliga-
tors which had been on view at the
SpOrtsman's exhibition were awaiting
transportation. he paused with a start
Before him stood a grizzly bear, with
wide open jaws, holding basket In Its
paws. He turned away as though
greatly startled. On his left was a
jaugar at the throat of young calf
He shuddered perceptibly at this and
backed into stuffed snake swallowing
a preserved rabbit, and as with fear
in his eyes he stumbled over a croco-
die. the expression Of his face was a
study. With a wild yell he started
down the street. past several side doors
and alluring beer signs, and what he
thought nobody knew positively, but
there were many good guesses.

FOUGHT LIKE WILD MEN.
mike" Leonard and Jack" Daily stopped
by the Baltimore Police.

A special dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Press from Baltimore Sunday
night says: mike" Leonard, the Beau
Brummel of the ring, tried to stop
Jack" Daily. of Wilmington, In four
rounds tonight and failed for two rea-
sons. In the first place the police
stopped the contest in the second
round. and in the second place DAILY
had a shade the best Of 1t. Leonard be-
gan his rushing tactics. but Daily with
stood every attack. punching Leonard
in the face and neck with his left and
the blows were soakers. This so in
censed the beau that he began foul
fighting, the set-to developing into a
slugging match. 1t got so bad that the
police had to stop 1t before the time
was up.
After some delay the second round
was begun. DAILY smashed Leonard
over the head, and had him groggy.
Then Leonard began to fight like a wild
man and when the referee tried to
make them break he got punch on the
nose for his trouble. The men kept on
punching each other until the police
stopped the fight for good. Leonard
lost and had to pay Daily the forfeit.
Leonard Is matched to box George
Dixon next week.

BATTLE OF THE LEADERS.
Providence Wins Its Third Straight from
the Ponies.

Providence, Aug. 19.-Providence won
the third straight victory from SPRING
field today in a red hot and exciting
game. The contest was full of sensa-
tional situations. 1t was a free batting
game, and there were numerous bat
terry misplays on both sides. Both
teams were batting the ball hard and
waiting at the bat for every chance to
gain base on called balls. There was
hustling work in the field, and the base
running was daring. Three of the runs
gained by the Springfields were made
On combination steals, McAuley being
worked into throwing to second and
allowing men on third to score. The
score see-sawed in an exasperating way
and 1t was an even thing as to which
side would win to the last moment,
when Lyons gripped the last ball
batted. getting the ball in the air on a
hard run. There was uncertainty until
Lyons showed that he had the ball by
throwing 1t in. Attendance, $500.
