THE AFTERNOON EVENTS.

Two Portland boys began the events in
the afternoon. They were Benjamin
Webster and Fred King, Bowdoin and
Colby Freshmen respectively. Webster
was much too agile for his taller and
heavier opponent, besides being better
all round player. He won the first two
sets without difficulty as follows:
King, 0 0 0 1 0 l 0 %
Webster, 1 0 l 1 Is
King, 0 0 0 0 0 OIL
Dana and Ives of Bowdoin and Stanley
and Boothby of Bates began the doubles.
The Bowdoin boys are both Freshmen
and younger and lighter than their oppo-
nents, who are Sophomore and Junior
respectively. Yet the Freshmen were
more active and steadier in their play,
and showed better team work, in the first
set. Stanley of Bates made some costly
doubles in serving The score:
Dana and Ives, 111O0O Is
Stanley and Boothby, 0 l 0 0 0-3
In the second set the playing and score
was reversed, Dana and Ives made the
mistakes and the Bates men got stronger
and steadier, Boothby in particular made
many effective Lawford drives The
score:
Stanley and Boothby, 11o111 -6
Dana and Ives, 0 0 l 0 O-3
This was the first match of the day, in
which it was necessary to play three sets.

Artificial Eyes.

The artificial eyes proposed by Am
broise Pare we, thin carved plates
of gold, paintC nd enameled to
match the sounu eye. Glass eyes
seem to have been Of more recent
origin, and I should like to know by
whom they were invented. Pare's
suggestion first appeared in his
"Methode Curative des Playes de la
Teste Humane, folio 226, Paris, 1861,
where he gives four Illustrations
showing the back and front Of a
right and left eye.
Some further particulars are given
in Malgaigne's ''Oeuvres Completes
d'Ambroise Pare, volume 2, page 6O3,
paris, 184W, from which it appears
that in subsequent editions Of his
books Pare proposed in some cases to
keep the eye in place by thin wire
passing behind the ear. AS a nonpro-
fessional man I venture to suggest
that most persons would rather wear
a shade than put up with the incon-
venience of Pare's artificial eye.--

The Kanalxas Fought Well, but Failed tn
Secure Their Big Game.
"a shark is considered az ugly Gus
toner by most people" said Captain
L. E. Irwin of Boston last night, but
Sandwich islander likes nothing
better than regular bout with him
in his native element. I once had
the pleasure of witnessing a battle
royal between good sized shark and
two Kanakas. AS the latter evident
ly did not consider themselves in any
danger, it was fine sport to watch the
fight. We were fishing for mackerel,
and the shark had been playing about
for some time, driving away the fish
and swapping at our bait. At last we
missed him and heard great shout
ing from two Kanakas who were fish
ing on a rock.
They were pulling away at stout
line, and the shark was foundering
at the other end. The line soon broke,
but the Kanakas had no idea of let
ting their prize off so easily and
jumped into the water after him.
Now came the tug of war. One of
the natives seized the shark by the
tail and ran with him toward the
beach, but the shark twisted his head
under his body, and showing his
teeth close to the Kanaka's hand
made him let go and spring out of
the way The shark turned tail and
made the best of his way toward
deep water. It was now the turn of
the other Kanaka He also caught
the shark by the tail and made for
the beach, while his companion
pounded away ON the shark with
stones and big stick.
''Asa soon, however, as the shark
turned upon him the man had to let
go his hold, but the instant the
shark t.1rned toward deep water
they were both behind him watch
ing their chance to seize him. The
battle went on for some time, the
shark in a rage, splashlng and twist
ing about, and the Kanakas in high
excitement, yelling at the top of
their voices. At last, however, to
our regret and to the great disgust of
the Kanakas, the shark managed to
reach deep water and thus escape
from his tormentOrs, carrying with
him a hook and line as well as nu-
merous cuts and bruises. st. Louis

How James Payn Was Down on Greek.
Our neighbOrs-nOt very numerous
were chiefly clergy. One of them,
unusually learned, was much given
to Greek quotations. I was learning
Greek at that time-a language which
I was glad was dead and wished was
buried-and those sonorous lines Of
his, to which the ladies listened with
reverent awe, irritated me extreme
ly. One of them asked me once in a
hushed whisper the translation of
one of these quotations. "You are
at school," she said, land ought to
know" I gave her to understand
with an opportune blush that it was
scarcely meet for lady's ear.
"Good heavens" she cried. "You
don't mean to say"-
"Pray, don't quote me in the mat
ter" I put in pleadingly. "But I
really-no, I really couldn't tell you, :"
which was quite true. She went
away and told all her lady friends
that Mr. G. INDUCED in quotations
which were not such as could be
translated to modest ears. It injured
his character for long time, but
cured him of a very bad habit. 1t

process before described, in producing
the desired result. He chuckled to him
self when he thought Of the effect which
it would have on Dorothy Farquhar, but
his pleasure was considerably lessened
when he pictured to himself the pain
which he would cause a friend who had
always acted nobIy toward him.
AS Dick Beaufort was going out that
evening Johnson asked him if he
thought Miss Farquhar would care to
come in on a certain date which he men
toned and look over some photos which
he had taken lately. Dick Beaufort
knew that Dorothy, who took what is
called a ''sisterly interest" in Huntly
Johnson, would be pleased to come, es-
pecially as she took a great interest in
photography herself; so he replied:
Certainly, old fellow, I'll give her your
message. I'm sorry that I have an en-
gagement on the 18th, but I have no
doubt you two will be quite interested
discussing photography"
Johnson thought it just as well that
Dick should be out on that particular
date, and he quite agreed with his
friend that Dorothy F'arquhar and he
would be very much interested, perhaps
painfully so as to one party.
Huntly Johnson had all his latest
photographs in readiness on the day in
question, and as he heard the knock at
the door which announced Miss Far
quhar's arrival, he placed a certain
photograph on the table in fairly con-
Spicuous place.
Johnson forgot all about Dick and the
shabby trick he was playing him as he
talked to this charming girl. What
lovely photographs you take. Mr.. John

SCORED THE RECEIVERS,
Colonel Pettit's Vigorous Lam
guage in a Seattle
Court.
A Caustic Arrangement Of the Pres
ent Manageme Of the
Northern Pacific.

SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 24.-The great
fight which has been waged in the United
States District Court, before Judges Han
ford and Gilbert, on the question as to
whether Judge Jenkins of the Circuit
Court of the eastern district of Wisconsin
had any authority under the law to name
Rouse, Cakes and Payne receivers of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, ended, so far as
arguments were concerned, this afternoon.
The question will be taken under advise
merit, and it is impossible to tell when a
decision will be reached.
The feature of the close of the fight on
the question of jurisdiction was the argu-
ment of Colonel Petit, in which, among
other things, he made the sensational
allegation that 100000 certificates is
sued by the receivers of the Northern
Pacific Railroad and sold to innocent pur-
chasers will be worthless unless the
courts, which have jurisdiction over the
Northern Pacific property consent to de-
clare them lien upon the property.
In closing Petit gave the receivers, the
German bankers and President James j.
Hill of the Great Northern a severe roast.
He said the Northern Pacific Company
had once been butchered for a German
holiday, and that Hill and his friends, the
bankers, backed by the present receivers,
are following up the company so as to
butcher it a second time.
81 Ex-senator Spooner and the other coun-
sci for the receivers left for the East to-
night, but Colonel Petit will remain.

UTAH'S CAMPAIGN OPENS,
Victory for Colonel Trumbo
in Salt Lake County
Primaries.
Bitter Fight On Between Crane and
Thomas for Gubernatorial
HonorS.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Aug. A.-The DO
litical situation in Utah is assuming an in
teresting phase. The Salt Lake County
convention on Thursday was surprise to
all but the few who are in close touch with
the situation. 1t is viewed as pronounced
Trumbo victory, the colonel and his adj
herents claiming eight of the fifteen State
Senators and Representatives nominated
as his friends. The result in the Weber
County convention to-day was almost a
clean sweep in the interest of Trumbo and
Crane, and from all over the Territory
news is coming that the erstwhile distin-
guished Californian is gaining adherents
daily.
The campaign has opened in earnest.
Tonight the ''Oquirrh" Club, powerful
body, organized for the sole purpose of
harmonizing the many conflicting fac
tons in the party, paraded the streets
nearly 400 strong, with President H. S.
McCallum, the most astute and popular
politician in Utah, at the head. In line
were aspirants for the Supreme Bench.
legislative positions, the district Judge
ship and other offices. and the Senatorial
toga seekers were represented by Colonel
Trumbo and Colonel 81. s. Bennett.
On Monday there will be a grand Re-
publican demonstration at Saltair, on
which occasion Hon. III. S. McCallum, as
president OF the day. will have the pleasure
of introducing twenty-five or more of the
most distinguished speakers of Utah to an
audience which, it is now estimated, will
reach 10000 On Wednesday next the
State convention will be held, and it is ex-
pected that the fight between Charles
Crane and A. L. Thomas, the Tribune's
candidate for gubern atorial honors, will be
one OF the most bitter ever fought in the
Western country.
