FALL RIVER, 2s; KsHxEBEcs, 4.
Champions Fall Upon Our hecks Mot 10 EN-.
brace But 10 WalIop Us.

The champion Fall Rivers were in our
burg Thursday, and the Remedies had
an interview With them, resulting In
figures being placed upon the bulletin
board-Fall River, &c; Kennebecs, 4.
There Is little to tell about the game.
The Kennebecs, after putting up two
beautiful games Of ball and being duly
praised and complimented therefor in
these columns, turned about and gave the
poorest exhibition Of the national game
before one OF the largest crowds OF the
season-ever seen on these grounds. The
reason for 1t we are unable to learn.
The Fall Rivers played an errorless
game halted like flends and could I'M
doubtedly have beaten US with six men.
There seems to be nothing more to say.
Today, the Fall Rivers and Kennebecs
will play on the Wateryille grounds.
Coyle and Kelley will be the Remedies
battery. and Stevens and Rollins for the
Fall Rivers.
Umpire Miller's work was about on q
mar with the playing Of the Remedies
very unsatisfactory, although it was
strictly impartial, the agony being meted
ont alike to Fall River and Remedies.

Blondin's Rope,

In fragment of autobiography written
some years ago, Blondin tells us that the
rope he generally used was formed with q
flexible core of steel wire covered with tho
best MANILA hemp, about an inch or three
quarters of an inch in diameter, several
hundred yards in length and costing
about 600. A largo windlass at either
end of tho rope served to make 1t taut
while 1t was supported by two high poles.
His balancing poles, of ash wood, vary In
length, and are in three sections, and
weigh from 81 to AZ pounds. He Is indif-
ferent as to the height Mt which he Is. to
perform. Blondin has never confessed to
any Nervousness on the rope, and while
walking he generally looks 10 or 90 feet
ahead and whistles or huns some snatch
of song. Tho time kept by musical
band has frequently aided him. in presery-
ing ha balance. Blondin is sonethinx OF
both carpenter and blacksmith, and Is able
to make his own models and ct up HIS
own apparatus Chanibers' journal.

Shirt waists with stiff collar and cuffs
are greatly worn this summer and are ex-
tremely useful, being neat, comfortable
and fresh looking. They are to be had in
solid coicrs both dark and light, in print
ed percale ard lawn, or with collar and
cuffs different from the body of tho gar
mcnt. Waists of fine plaid gingham have
had quite vogue, plaid bein: everywhere
acceptable this season. Those MADE of out
ing flannel are not so much seen as for
merly, although they are more suitable
for the seaside and for athletic amuse-
ments, such as tennis and bicycling, than
cambria ones, which are at once wilted by
moisture.

WAY TO BEGGARY." BE WISE IN TIME AND USE
SAPOLIO
The Stepping OF Fast Trains.

When railway roadbcds have been made
as nearly perfect as possible, when the
lines have been Strengthened and rs far as
practicable l2veled, and when tho best
types of locomotives and cars have been
devised how fast will steam be ablo to
carry us? An answer to this question,
based on scientific examination of the
conditions involved, is furnished BIZ Mr..
Theodore n. Ely, an authority on facts re-
lating to railways. One hundred miles an
hour Is about the limit of speed suggested
by him. Another very important question
growing out of the first is, Within what
distance can a train running 100 miles an
hour or but little less than $50 feet in
second, be stopped? The reply is that, I'M
der the most favorable circumstances, q
distance of nearly half mile would be re-
quircd. A train running n mile minute
can be stopped, 1t Is estimated, within q
distance of 900 feet. BY adding only two
thirds to the speed therefore, the distance
required for bringing the train to a stand
still would be increased almost three times.
1t Is evident that when we are whirled
across the country at the rate of 100 miles
an hour "a clear track" will become far
more important thing even than it is to-
day.
