TOO FAST FOR CHAMPIONS.
The Grays Win a Victory From the
Tigers of PaWtucket.

The Tigers from Pawtucket went down
before the Grays last night in close con-
test, which was devoid of any brilliancy
on either side. The home team was little
too fast for the Pawtucket boys in their
crippled condition. Most of the work OF
the evening consisted in carrying the
ball, passing and In juggling back of
the cages as the goal tenders score
will show. Both Sword and Lations had
an easy time of 1t. Providence had oppor-
tunities enough to make the score twice
as large. once getting the sphere inside
the Tigers cage, but luck was against
them each time. Pierce was the target
for the Pawtucket team, and they fol-
lowed and blocked him at every turn,
but Dickie outwitted them several times
and crawled out from the bunch with the
ball still in his possession and placed IL
where 1t would do the most good. The
Grays started in on winning gait, and
kept the Tigers scratching pretty hard
for about seven minutes, when Bone,
with the ball in front OF the Gray's
cage, lifted it in easily on Swords at

This was the only goal made in the first
period, the time being killed by chasing
each other over the surface. The second
period was enlivened little by the
smart playing CT the Grays and here they
showed they wanted the game. Menard
and Pierce did the passing act to perfec-
tion about this time with a goal to their
credit, being lifted in by Pierce. The
third goal OF the evening was made on
a juggling play by Pierce; after being
tackled by the whole Pawtuckst force

lulu appear to have united in joint
celebration of the Fourth of July as
the anniversary of the independence of
both nations, and the affair derived an
extra significance from the fact that
the festivities were actively supported
by large numbers of the native island
ers. There could be no better proof of
the stability of the young Republic
than the loyal support it is receiving
from the masses of the Hawaiian peo-
pie. Civil order is thoroughly estab-
lished, the material development of the
islands is rapidly advancing, the peo-
pie are contented and prosperous, and
there is every reason to regard the
Hawaiian Republic as a permanent ad-
dition to the constellation of indie
pendent nations, the gloomy predc-
tions of American doubters to the

The West Point Uniform.

The question has often been asked why
the army cadets at West Point wear gray
uniform, while the uniform Of the army is
blue. The origin of this distinction dates
back to the war of 1Sl2-l4, when the com
missary general of the army could not pro
cure the blue cloth required for General
Winfield Scott's brigade, and SO they were
clad in gray. So distinguished was the
conduct of that brigade at Lundy's Lane
and Chippewa that when, after the war OF
1879, reorganization of the West Point
Military academy was made, out of com
