BOB WHITE.
IOWA.

Old friend, hear your whistle
Upon the zigzag rail;
Your CHEEKY voice of welcome
Rings on the autumn gale:
When scarlet leaves and golden
Dance in the amber light,
You tell me of your presence ~
With vim, Bob White!
A whole-souled little fellow
In speckled coat of brown;
You need not summers passing
Or skies that darkly frown;
While other birds are quiet,
Your call comes to delight;
And that is why like you
Most of all, Bob White!
Philosopher in feathers!
I'd join your happy school,;
The heart forever signing
Belongeth to the fool!
Happy-g o-lucky fellow,
Though chilly breezes blight,
There's always summer sunshine
In your heart, Bob White!
The world has so much sorrow.
We need your lively call;
A soul to face all trouble,
All! that's the best of all!
The snow will soon be falling,
Nor hill nor vale in sight;
But l have learned your lesson
In my heart, Bob White!
Monroe H. Rosenfeld, in N. Y. Clipper.

The Speed of IA Cricket Dali.

The speed at which cricket ball is de-
livcrcd by fast bowler may DO roughly
estimated at mile minute. When G.
n. Is. Turner, the Australian bowler, Wis
tied Woolwich arsenal. England, he was
requested by an official to bowl through
the electric screen in Use for measuring
the velocity Of proicctilcs. 1t was found
that, at point representing half way be-
tween the wickcts, the velocity of Turner 5
ball was 81 feet per second, or 80 miles an
hour. Az this rate the bali would traverse
the pitching twenty-five twcnty-scvcnths
of Il second. Several bowlcrs, howcvcr-as,
for instance Mold, the Lancashire profes-
sionnl, and Kortright. the Essex marvel
bowl faster than Turner, and this would
bring the pace to tho mile per minute.

said to the builders of the yachb recently
that in his opinion tho Defender and Val
kyrie III will DC quite as much the same
rs any two yachts could be, "but, - he
added, "Valkyrie should win by her SUI
pcrior sails and the superior handling she
will receive"
George L. Watson is one of the best
known designers of yachts in tho world
He planned the Scotch challenger Thistle
that came after the American cup In 1887
and wns beaten by the Burgess boat Vol
untecr. He also designed Valkyrie IL,
whose quest of tho cup was rendered futile
in 1893 by the Nigilant. a majority of the
steam yachts of the Royal Yacht squadron
arc also the product of his ingenuity. He
was born in Glasgow In 1851 and is ~ tall,
spare man with prcmaturely gray hair.
Io will probably he the happiest man on
earth if his Nalkyric III defeats the Heres
hotf yacht Defender. Another very happy
man will be Lord Dunravcn, who is so
we'll pleased with the new yacht that he
feels more confident than ever of winning
the Americas cup and has even advised
his friends to back tho new boat.

over a new well that touched the sand
at noon yesterday. The well is on the
WaulaSs tract, at Elm Run. This well
is fartherest east of any we'll yet, and
plainly defines the field to be between
Plum Run and the Cairo oil field. The
we'll is good for $50 barrels as it stands
and is not yet drilled through. 1t is
flowing constantly at the above rate,
