he said, lifting the comb from his hair
and looking around at us. He had ON q
low waistcoat, and his dress coat lay
across chair.
Seeing us staring at him he dropped
his comb into his hair again and went
on combing. But as matter of fact
he was about ready. He put down the
comb, put on his coat and hat, and
picked up his overcoat.
Now I'm ready gentlemen, he
said
1--WE started, but the stairway had
now been closed up by fire. We turned
to the windows, The boys had got a
ladder up on the front Of the house.
"'Now, then. we said to him, when
he came to the window.
"After you, gentlemen he said,

didn't have to go down the ladder first

midst of a modern din than when it is
quiet around them. The noise of the
cars in travel on the whir of machin-
cry in mills helps to make up the vol

venerable deaf gentleman who lived
quite alone. On the very rare occa-

to busy himself shaking down the
ashes in his coal stove, so that by tho
dint of the supplementary clamor ha

BOUNCER is A WONDER.
Her Campaign This Year Has
Never Been Equaled by n Four
Year-Old.

The Horseman believes that the great
four-year-old trotting mare Bouncer,
2:10A, is the greatest campaigner of
her age that ever lived She is a racy
looking mare, with clean cut, bony
head and an exceptionally fine set of
legs. She is a light bay, stands six
teen hands high, and Is noticeable for
her strong shoulders and quarters, and
her unusual depth through the heart.
She is good-headed. beautifully gated
and shows race in every line and
movement. Being slow to get into her
stride, she cannot score down as fast
as most of the 2:15 trotters.
Her strong point Is her finishing ca
pacity, in which few trotters ever on
the turf can compare with her, and in
no instance this year has she failed
to win the heat when she was within
two lengths of the leader at the three
quarter pole, except In one heat at
Detroit, where she made break near
ing the wire. She has made but two
breaks in her races this season.
Bouncer was bred by her present
owner, William Simpson, of Cuba, N.
Y. Her sire, Hummer, a son of Elec-
tioneer. out of Edith Wilkes, by, George
Campbell's Electioneer, 2:17%4, and

brought when a youngster by Mr..
Simpson, and her dam, Musette, by

spring. Bouncer's greatest victory was
In the Transylvania stake, Lexington,

National league, a service which he
began when the picture that accom-
panies this article was taken. He sat
for the photographer in the spring of
1876 and sent the picture from which
the accompanying cut was made to
the young lady, his fiancee, in Phila-
delphia, who is now Mrs. Anson, and
the mother Of his four children They
were lovers then who could scarcely
be parted. 1t was his desire to be near
her and her request that he should not
go away from Philadelphia which
caused him to offer the Chicago club
in the spring of 1876 $1,000 to release
him, not from a written contract, but
from a promise to play in Chicago.
The offer was refused, and this great
ball player regarded his word of honor
more than $1,000 and the love he had
given to his sweetheart. That love,
like his honor, has never grown dim.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arson are lovers still
and hard to keep apart. She followed
him on his tour around the world in
1883 and will be with him this winter
during his theatrical experience in
New York. Just how much Arson
owes to his wife for his great success
in the ball field the world perhaps will
never know. %. P. Caylor.

ICE YACHTERs ALL AGOG.
prOsects for Regatta on Pepin
Are Most Promising.

Word was telegraphed from Minneap-
oils to Lake City that the much dis
cussed ice yachting challenge had been
mailed. The answer came, 1--WE are
ready" which is evidnece that the
gauntlet will be picked up by the Lake
City champions at least. Mr.. Benson
is said to have purchased a complete
new set of sails for his boat and he
expects her to be much faster when
they have been rugged than she has
ever been before. All the Lake Pepin
boats have been put i'll first-class trim,
as a result of the regatta talk, and
there will most likely be a regatta held
on Lake Pepin to decide which of the
boats that sail there is entitled to the
honor of competing against the cracks
of Minnetonka. The largest ice boat
in this part of the country is under
construction at Madison, and it is sup
posed that she is to be one Of the con-
teStants here. The dimensions of the
new boat are not known, but she has
been designed with the idea of carrying
an immense sail spread.

MORE CHARGES BY DUNRAvEN.
He Declares the Vigi1Hnt Was
Tempered With When Abroad.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-A special ca
BILE from London to the Sun says there
is another phase of the Americas cup
controversy which will not contribute
to any possible settlement of Lord Dun
ravens scandalouS charges. 1t has to
do with Dunravens reasons for his
suspicious and his early insistence re-
garding the marking of the Defenders
water line. These reasons are, 1t is
stated, that the crew of the ,Vighant
were suspected of tampering with her
ballast during her racing season here
last year in the same manner as the
crew of the Defender are now accused
of doing. One of Dunraven's friends,
who condemns him for bringing the
present charge against the Defender,
insisted today with unmistakable sin
cerity that there is no doubt that the
Vigilant's ballast was '.jockeyed'' in
last year English races. No fuss was
made about it, he said, because it was
desired to avoid just what Dunraven
had now precipitated.
When a copy of the above cablegram
was shown to George ]. Gould, the
owner of the Vigilant, last evening,
he said: There is absolutely no truth
in the statement, and L don't care to
make any reply to it."

of the four players tied for first
place, Harrison. Klesser and Capen
zach having Won two games and lost
pne, while Thayer has not been able
to make single wining. The second
weeks play was transferred to the
West hotel, Minneapolis, where Har-
rison and Capen opened the ball on
Monday evening last. After a good
fight, in which the St Paul man Sc
cured several good runs near the
finish, the highest being fifty, he
won out. beating Capen eight points,
securing the lead On the following
evening, Eesser and Thayer were
the pair to do battle. Thayer's
friends looked on him as a sure Win
ner. after seeing them play at Fol-
ey's. In this they were badly dis
appointed. Their faHorite never
played poorer, and lost by the good
margin of twenty three billiards.
The third night he was pitted
against Harrison. when his play was
much faster, not enough to win,
though. Harrison beat him fifteen
billiards over the handicap, securing
a run of 7S, the largest of the series,
and a splendid run for so short a
game.
The fourth game of the week and
the tenth of the series brought the
rival Minneapolitans together, and a
hard struggle ensued. 1t was the
West hotel against the Guaranty

buttons, after an exciting finish.

Stuart to Make Il Strong Effort to
Induce Him to Fight.

Ell PASO, Tex, Nov. 16.-Dan Stuart
is confined to his room with a severe
cold, but will leave here Monday to
sign Fitzsimmons and will go to New
York to see Corbett. To a reporter to-
night he said he desired to seer Corbett
and Brady personally, to try and per-
suade them that they are doing an ire
parable injury to themselves by refus-
ing to meet Fitzsimmons. Another del
egation of sports from Denver, the Pa
cific coast and Mexico arrived in the
city today, and they refuse to believe
that Corbett has run the fight with the
Australian. They ctalhtaoimC wdg,bl
Australian. They claim that Corbett
is playing out to allow Dan Stuart to
securely tie up Fitzsimmons, when he
will hurry out here for the contest.
If Corbett persists in refusing to fight
he can never again claim the friend
ship of the Western sports. Stuart is
negotiating with Maher with the view
of pulling off a, fight between him and
Fitzsimmons in case Corbett cannot be
prevailed on to fight.
