TIP and Run-A New Game for til
Early Spring.

Tip and Run-A New Game for the
Early Spring.
Tip and run is the name of 4 game
our English cousins are Just learning,
both boys and girls. 1t resembles
cricket, so some one says, as a carica-
ture resembles it's original.
1t is a game to play early in the
spring. before cricket or tennis can be
thought of, and it has this advantage
over golf, that it can be played on
lawns or garden plots without damage
to the turf.
Tip and run involves much exercise
of Il rather severe kind.
This is the II of it: The fair
guardian of the wicket. armed with a
bat . or even a racket. takes her stand,
and as soon as she has hit the bowler's
ball is bound to run as fast as h can
between the wickets, as failure TO hit
CT to run involves discontinue and an
immediate successor at the bat.
The score mounts up rapidly. as an
expert batsman hits each time and
flies to and fro like a ball herself, I'M
til she can be dislodged by three sue
cessiye failures to hit her ball. The
other players field out, with success
generally less than more. Bowling
usually taxes the skill of fair players
more than batting. They do not, as a
rule, bowl with the mechanical skill
which marks the masculine player.
Eleven is the proper number for each
team to tip and run; when mel are
permitted to REINFORCE the eleven,

UNDER RECEIVERsHIP.
How Railroad FUSED to Escape the Pay
ment of Their Debts.

How Railroad FUSED to Escape the Pay
ment of Their Debts.
In his recent address, delivered
in st. Louis on railroad receiver
ships in Federal courts, Judge
Caldwell dwelt upon the history Of
receivers hips in the past, especial.
ly upon the advantages which a
railway company used to be able
to attain through the medium Of
operation by receiver, advantages
which were a scandal at the time
and which have since been rend-
cred impossible. In this connec-
ton Judge Caldwell had the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the Lit
tie Rock and Memphis railway:
"By this process a railroad COM
pany was enabled to escape the
payment of its debts by what was
little more than a mere change Of
its name, and often the only mode
in that was from railroad COM
pany to railway company. A rail-
road company in my state has
gone through this process three
times. Originally its name was
the Memphis and Little Rock
railroad company After the first
foreclosure it changed its name to
the Memphis and Little Rock
railway company After the Sec
ond foreclosure it began at the
other end of its line, and called it
self the Little Rock and Memphis
railroad company and after the
third foreclosure 1t called itself.
The Little Rock and Memphis
railway company 1t is proper to
say that the last two foreclosures
profited it nothing in the way OF
getting rid OF the class Of debts
we are now considering, on &C.
count Of the rule adopted in that
district on the subject"

TEXAS HARBORS.
To the Daily LIGHT:

To the Daily LIGHT:
Harbors on the coast of Texas
whether they are improved, nat
ural harbors or artificial, built in
the open Gulf by construction Of
breakwaters behind which shelter
and security for ships of the larg-
est class and reached by an ele-
waited railroad in the sea, free from
shifting quicksands and open at all
times, is what interests the cattle
and cotton growers of Texas as
we'll as the grain producers of the
northwest. Nature unfortunately
did not create harbors on the Texas
coast that are sufficient for the
growing commerce of this great
commonwealth. The L. s. govern
ment has appropriated over six
millions of dollars to improve the
entrance into Galveston bay, it be-
ing the only natural harbor of any
importance on the whole coast
line from Bolivia Point to the Rio
Grande. Galveston bay, has an
area of about 1,300 acres with an
average depth of "a feet. OF this area
near four hundred and sixty acres
has a uniform depth of over 80 feet
which affords shelter and anchor
age ground for large fleet Of mod
ern ships that draw from "a to 3O'
feet of water.
The government work on this
bar has deepened the water from
thirteen TO twenty feet, and II per-
manent, is of great value to Texas,
but the uncertain movements Of
quick sands when acted upon by
wind waves, tides, currents and
eddies, no man is wise enough to
foretell, whether a new bar will be
formed beyond the present jetty
extensions. Time only will demon
strate.
The Brazos river is only about
six hundred feet wide from bank
to bank, altogether too narrow for
anchorage, and to turn in, that is,
for ships 500 feet long and over,
and draw twenty-four feet.
Arkansas bay and pass, which has
been so grossly misrepresented by
local and other Texas newspapers
by publishing for months, that
there was fourteen feet Of water on
Arkansas bar, when, in fact, there
has not been a continuous chan
mel nine feet deep for many
years, and chat it was one
of the finest land-locked harbors
| in the world" The facts are, there
is an area of about sixty acres,
with depth of twenty-four feet, of
which nineteen acres have depth
of thirty feet and over, stretched
out in a narrow, crooked channel,
nearly four miles long. Arkansas
Pass, or inlet, has moved south in
the last twenty years over three
miles, the quicksands washing
awey and forming on the opposite
island. For the verification Of
these facts reference is made to
the report of the United States en-
gineers who formed the harbor
commission, (see page 49,; to the
coast survey department, Wash
ington, d. G, and to the Maritime
Exchange, city Of New York.

Speculation on the meaning of Gen.
Weyler's return to Havana evolves moth
ing that is very plausible in the way of
an explanation. Probably the fact is
that the Captain Gener al found chasing
guerilla bands about the island not very
pleasant or congenial employment, and
concluded that it could be done just as
we'll by some understrapper as by him
self His abrupt return however, un-
less some better reason be givsn for
it than has yet appeared. is likely to
create painful impression in Spain,
