The trolley car party is as popular here as
elsewhere, but it remained for Baltimore

trolley ride. Last week party of 40, com
prising a due proportion of gay youths and
maidens properly chapcroned, started for 4
ride to Glyndon. On the return trip &
member suddenly left mis- seat and had a
long whispered consultation with the mo-
torlnan. whose subject he refused to di
vulge to his curious companions. although
stimulated by the mischievous twinkle in
his eye, they piled him with questions
On merriIy went the car till all at once the
mOtOrman sang out:
''At the top of this hill look out for the
tunnel"
The mystihed members of the party
looked at him and one another in amaze
ment, for no tunnel could they remember
on the road. But when the top of the hill
was reached they shot into quick darkness,
for the motQrman had turned off the
electric lights. A peal of laughter rose as
the joke was seized, and then all over the
car arose sounds Of an oseulatory nature
which the perplexed chaperons could not
locate, but were pacifed when told the
girls were only kissing their hands in def
erence to tunnel customs. Six tunnels
were passed, and finally the motorman
cried out:

MONKEY, MONKEY, BOTTLE o
BEER.

When we were boys, long years ago,
And played the games that We all know
As "fox and geese" or blind mans buff.
Or other games that were more rough,
We had the queerest way to find
Who'd be the fox, or who would blind
This was the way most every time
Someone would say this odd, old rhyme:
Monkey, monkey, bottle O. beer,
How many monkeys are there here?
One, two, three, out goes he.
In after years when youth had flown
Aud we to older men, had grown
When life had brought us tears and cares
And sin had spread its Turing snares,
When fame was blighted, love was dead
When strength was going. hope had fled,
Old Fortune stood the self same way
And counted out day after day:
Monkey, monkey, bottle O. beer
How many monkeys are there here?
One, two, three, out goes he.
And when the heart beats faint and slow
When hair grew white as winters snow
When heads were bowed and backs were
bent,
With the weary load that life had sent,
When tottering step and sightless eye
Proclaimed the end Of life was nigh
Old death repeated, solemn, slow:
Monkey, monkey, bottle o beer,
How many monkeys are there here?
One, two, three, out goes he.

LAWN TENNIS.

1t is hoped that local players will
make point Of visiting other courts
about town this summer. more than has
been the past custom. No one knows
just how many lovers of the game we
have here and census is now in prep
aration. Lincoln has never taken proper
notice of tennis and it is hoped this
season will prove the beginning Of
better things. 1t is reported there were
100 Lets in use at one time ON the
opening day in Central Park.
The pioneer of local tennis, Mr.. S. L..
Geisthardt, is at last getting some des-
erved appreciation from the press Of
the city as the following from the pen
of the Journal poet, Mr.. A. L. Bixby
will amply testify.
When Lawyer -'Geisty" first came down
Upon this mundan, sphere
The busy people of tine town
We're almost shocked to hear
His infant voice in rapture raise
Before he knew his name
To sing the everlasting praise
OF tennis as THE game.
Now days at tennis court
sit and watch the play,
Where ''Geisty' always leads the sport
In his peculiar way.
And when reach that upper lawn
shall not like the "hence'
If ''Geisty" with his sweater on
Is not in evidence.
Notices were sent to the different
clubs throughout the state asking thoee
who are to contest in the coming tour
nament to have their entries in by yes
terday, Friday. so that full program
and other details can be arranged in
ample time for the battle which COM
mences Monday. Games will probably
be played both morning and afternoon.
The contest is open to the players Of the
state, irrespective of whether they be-
long to any club or not and it is hoped
that many who have taken no active
part heretofore. will avail themselves of
the opportunity.
Some noticeable improvement is shown
in the individual work Of local players.
Munger is back in the game and is the
author of new stroke entirely his
own. Jones continues to improve and
Garfield is doing his very best work of
the season. The university boys are re-
ported as getting in good deal Of prac-
tice, and interest in the coming match
is constantly increasing.
