March Ia usually one Of the mos,

disagreeable months Of the year, either
east or west. In the Arkansas valley it
was usually pleasant until the closing
days, when high winds prevailed, slight
snow falling on the 81st. But when we
are disposed to complain Of bit Of bad
weather it will be well to compare our
lot with our neighbors north OF the Di-
vide. Last Saturday night snow to the
depth of IL inches fell in Denver and
there was a reinstatement of regular
winter. Let it be remembered that when
we have disagreeable weather ip Rocky

Bob-Other Sporting Matters.

The curtain dropped on professional
ball playing in this city at the Island
park yesterday afternoon. The last act
was a farce. There were eighteen
members in the company, and they
were all stars. The plot of the piece
was not new, but IL has not been en-
acted in this city for some time. The
curtain goes up on two ball teams on
the diamond, representing the rivalry
Of neighboring cities in that form Of
sport. In the first scene James Owen
O'Connor Mercer twirls the sphere for
the Bellaires, and the Wheelings pound
the leather all over the field. The
audience is worked up to a high pitch
of excitement in the expectation of see
ing the leather sail over the fence and
take a bath in the river which is
realistically presented on the canvass,
but it only scars up into the flies. Op-
portunities are given for the introduce
ton of several very clever specialties.
Ny Aunt Bridget Berger gives excel
lent limitations of Gentleman Jim and
DR.. Mary Walker, and INDUCES in some
clever buck and wing dancing. Hugh
Daugherty White gives black face act,
Carmencita Glasscork contributes a
high kicking specially, and Paderewski
Mercer executes a song without words,
entitled, 1t used to be the caper, but it
don't 90 now" The plot develops in
the second act. Honest Jack and
Chang Carey hold a whispered consul
tetion about trains. and Mercer spirits
toward the box Office. Then Carey goes
on the rubber, and Kyrle Bellew Gum

company executes triple somersault5
and high wire gymnastics, in the effort
to end the game, Ostensibiy to give the
spectators value received for their
money. The tablean shows the entire
Wheeling team forming human pyra-
mid, with Mercer at the base and Hon
est Jack on top proudly waving flag,
the rooters roofing, the fans tanning,
and the band discoursing Yankee Doc
die and other dOOdles The audience
applauds, the curtain goes up again, and
in response to the cries Of speech, "
Uncle Dan Crotty, who sustains the
character of umpire, advances to the

The most interesting feature Of the
game was the roofing" Wheeling
fans" were outnumbered, but it was a
toss-up as to which crowd possessed
the strongest lungs. A bevy Of beauti-
full girls came up from Bellaire, and it
was as much as mans LIE was worth
to say anything uncomplimentary about
their home team in their presence. The
over-the-river crowd had tin honrs and
ether similar weapons concealed in their
pockets and they remained there. At
fairs took such a turn that their useful
ness was destroyed, and they but served
the purpose of ornamentation, Once ,
bold Bellaire man ventured to give his
horn a little foot" but there was a

a charm.
Cornell played Harvard to a dead
lock in the first half but the pace was
too hot for her to maintain, ana the
second half Harvard played with twice
the dash and yigor, while Cornelfs
weakening showed that Harvard's con-
slant hammering at the line was TOO
much for her to stand up against. SIX
