WON THE GAME.
Mr.. G. NJ. Bryant Champion Second
Division CrOquet Players.


Mr.. c. M. Bryant of this city has won
the championship of the second division
in the third annual croquet tournament Of
local clubs. He has won eight out of nine
games played, and beside being awarded the
silver mallet as the prize, he has also adj
vanced himself into the first division of
players.
The deciding game was played yesterday
afternoon on the courts at 9th street and
Rhode Island avenue, Mr.. Bryant having
for his opponent Mr.. Coleman of this city,
who is regarded as an especially strong
player. The contest was close and excit-
ing, both men making a supreme effort to
wreSt the victory, which finally settled on
Mr.. Bryants standard.
The result of yesterdays game is graft
flying to local croquet players, for it places
u local man at the head Of the second di-
vision, the championship of which other
wise would have fallen to Chalfant of VIII
mington. His record is also eight games
won to one lost, but Mr.. Bryant takes the
lead because he scored more points than
the visiting player, who stood SO near to
his record. Washington has secured first
place in both the first and second divisions,
Duryea, the boy player. carrying off first
honors with first division players, and Mr..
Bryant equaling his record among those
in the second class.

A THEME FOR A STORY
a HENRY'S LAKE RO-
NANCE,

The Exploit of John GARNER and Pretty
Miss McLarin. Who are Now Mr..
Young People.
John GARNER is young trapper, who
operates in the Henry Lake country. on
the boundaries OF the National Park.
He is said to be very successful in his
line of business. but he put all his past
exploits to shame last Monday. when
he married pretty little Miss May Me-
Larin, whose people were decidedly
opposed to the young nimrod's wooing.
Young GARNER stated to a MADISONIAN
| man after the ceremony had been per-
formed by Justice McGown that he had
made lots of big catches in his hunting
career, but he considered his latest the
success Of his life. and number of
young men. who had the pleasure of
gazing on the pretty face of the Centen-
nial Valley Diana, are Of the same opin-
ion.
GARNER has been dancing attendance
on Miss McLarin for some time in spite
OF the angry protests of her father.
Seeing that his opposition was of no
avail Mr.. McLarin decided to take his
daughter away. Accordingly he hitched
up fast team and struck out south.
About day later young GARNER heard
of the flight and saddling up horse
and leading another equipped for lady
started in pursuit. After three days
hard riding he caught up with them
An angry colloquy ensued between the
father and his would-be son-in-law,
during which the girl jumped out of
the buggy, mounted the led horse aud
the lovers were away in trice, leav-
ing the old man to nurse his anger and
come back at his leisure. The couple
went back to Henry's Lake and drove a
team to this place. They did not let
the grass grow under their feet in com.
ing either. They drove up to the
court house and the girl held the team
while young GARNER went for the
license. Then they went to Justice
McGown who resorted to the legal
mathmatics which makes two one, and
after half hours stay in Virginia
started back to Henry's Lake in very
happy frame of mind.

Mr.. Duncan's Opinion.

Thomas Duncan, chairman of the Re
publican county central committee
expressed himself in effect as follows
"The action of the National Repub
lican convention at st. Louis, should
not be a surprise to anyone. The con
summate generalship of Mark Hanna
made the nomination of Mckinley an
accomplished fact some weeks ago,
While we do not know what the finan-
c.al plank of the platform is, we do
know either from the instructions to
the delegates or from their expressed
opinions, that four-fifths of the con-
veation were committed to the gold
standard, and does not matter to us, in
nat lang Uage the financial plank of
the platform IS formed; to US it means
q gold standard, consequently the ac-
ton Of the convention has tot changed
he i,,.;tical situation in tie least.
"T lat line of action tae Chicago

DELEGATES. but tie sold men will meet

That can predict the result. The action
or no--action OF the Chicago conven-
t;ca must necessarily determine, to a
large degree, the course OF the bi-met-
allists and perhaps OF the topulists, in
their conventions next month.
sin view of all the contingencies, it
seems to me that the wisest course for
the friends of silver to take, is to wait
patiently until all the conventions have

form, will put itself unequivocally on
record as in favor OF the free coinage Of
silver. I have great confdenc in the
wisdom of the delegates from the silver
states to the St. Louis convention. l
believe that instead of the fight for
silver within the Republican lines being
ended it has only just begun. Personal.
ly think it may lead to the nomination
of Senator Teller as Republican silver
candidate. The coming state conven-
tion which will not be held until after
the national convention have named
their candidates, will be in position
to formulate policy which will meet
the situation. That convention will
represent not only the wisdom, but also
the best interests of the state. It is
certainly.wise,to withhold judgment un-
til the party in Montana has had time
and opportunity to place itself on record

plank contained in the Madison county
platform which is as follows:
"SECOND-It is the sense; of this con-
vention that the Republicans of Madi-
son county will hold themselves inde-
pendent Of any action on the part of the

antag0nistic to the interests of the state

ed by the state convention.

ent time do not lose sight of the i'm
portance of protective policy, believ-
ing that full prosperity can only come
with its restoration.
