DIAMOND DUST.

"Hughey Jennings father Is a land
Lacquer" remarked Umpire Kelly. "He
wears pair of fire-escape whiskers that
skirt his chin a la Galway. Hughey had
the elderly gentleman on the bench in
Mondays game between the orioles and
Reds. He's quite a comedian, is the old
man. Joe Quinn, who was playing short
as sub for Hughey, wore a red sweat
er, and Hughey's parent didn't like the
looks OF 1t. The color was a failure.
WHO is that bloke playing for you
in short field, Hughey?' said the old
man. He looks like an Irishman, but
he's flashing the wrong colors."
That's Joe Quinn. He's Irish, faith
err said Hughey.
Irish be dommed,' said the old man.
when Joe walked over to the bench
he tossed the sweater over his arm, and
the member of the Jennings family with
the flre-escape face Jumped from the
bench, pulled the sweater from Joe's
shoulder, and in oily Galway delivered
this speech:
Say, Quinn, OF don't know you pus-
sonally, but If you're Oirish you are
flashing the wrong coors. A red coat
on Mick makes a turncoat out of him.
Take it off; it's disgrace to you're coun-
thry"
Joe threw the sweater on the grass
and borrowed Joe Corbett's, which is
green. This pleased Hughey's father and
he failed to make a break during the re-
mainder of the game. Washington Post.

When eastern pugs reach Frisco these
days they are asked their opinion of the
much discussed question Of free arm night
ing. owen ziegler, who Is to meet Hddie
Connolly, told California reporter the
following: AS to free arm fighting in
the ciinch 1t Is matter Of indifference
to me. 1t Is usually left TO be agreed
upon by the principals. Under the rules
free arm blows are allowable, but my
personal predilections are for a clean
break In a clinch. II looks better to break
cleaniy, and, what is of more oonse-
quence, 1t always pleases the spectators
more, I'll give Mr.. Connolly his own way
In the matter however, and II he wants
to hit In the clinch we will agree on that.

RACES At FLEETWOOD.
The Last Day Considered the Best of
the Meeting.

New York, Sept. 1o,--The last day OF
the grand circuit meeting at Fleet
wood park was from a sporting stand
point the best OF the meeting. The
first event was the unfinished ala trot-
ting class.
The fifth heat was the most exciting.
Alcidalia led to the three-quarter pole,
but Derby Princess, in a clinking finish
nipped the heat by head. The Prin-
cess also won the deciding heat. on
this race over $4,000 was in the pool
box.
The guideless wonder, Marion Mills,
paced a mile in 207%. She went to the
quarter in thirtv-one seconds and to
the half in 1.O2, but the hill was too
much for her and her last half was In
1,05%.
