SUNDAY ON THE DIAMOND.
BrookIyn wins the Finest Gamo Played at
Chicago This Year.

CHICAGO. May 16.-Eighteen thousand persons
saw the Brooklyns defeat the Chicagos to-day
In tho finest game of the season here. Not an
error was nade on either side. There Is only
one way to account for the result, and that>is to
say that the visitors were far luckier in bunch
ing their hits. They seemed to be out of the
contest up to the sixth inning. but then they
began to score. A safe drive by Griffin, a base
on balls. a triple by shindle into the crowd, and
slashing homo run by Lachance netted four
runs. That gave the lead to Brooklyn. which
was not overcome by the locals Both Callahan
and Kennedy pitched great ball. the former bo-
ing the steadier. Lachance made a record for
the year. securing thirteen of the first fifteen
putouts Both outhelds were in grand form.

There is at least ono place III the
world where the cat was until recently
held in high honor and received the at
teution due to one of so high station
in life. That place is India, where in a
fortress the sentries Invariably used to
present arms to every cat that appeared
on the scene.
The custom is accounted for by this
singular meedotc which comes from
what appears to be good authority:
Some 80 years ago it happened that IA
very high English official died in an
Indian fortress, at place that is one Of
the centers of Brahmanic religion, and
at the moment when the news Of his
death met the sepoy guard at the main
gate black eat rushed out of il.
The superstitious guard presented
arms to the eat dis salute to the dying
spirit Of the powerful Englishman, and
the coincidence took firm hold upon
the locality, that up to Il few years ago
neither exbortation nor orders could
prevent Il HindCo sentry ut that gate
from presenting arms TO any cat that
passed out at night.-Harper's Round
