CLEVER HANDICAP GOLF.

A number of golfers fell by the waysido in the
first monthly handicap on the Staten Island
Cricket and Baseball Club links yesterday, yet
no less than hfty-two players returned full
cards. Thirteen strokes was the dividing line
between the two GLASSES. Young Moeran made
the best grass and net score in class A., but the
prize was withheld pending the decision Of q
protest by the Greens Committee.
On the near side OF the putting green are q
number Of boxed.in trees, and whom q ball is
stimied by q tree on the approach shot, II 1t lies
within Eve club lengths of the obstacle, the local
rule permits the player to lift and move the ball
one club length on either side. Moeran's shot
sent the ball into o road and 1t was stimied by
ono Of the trees, within the ave lengths specified
in the local rule. He thereupon moved 1t before
playing. His shot was protested by his partner
on the ground that a player is disqualified who
touches a ball In q hazard. Mooran claimed that
the local rule protected him In lifting to escape
the stimie, whether in a hazard or on turf, pro-
viding the ball was within the stated distance Of
u tree box.
Some of the old holes have been abandoned,
as the club has lost the use Of part Of the course.
but the changes necessary have improved the
links without shortening the playing distance.
The home hole is now back of the first tee In the
adjoining Held.
The following cards show the gross scores
under 100 by strokes:

At the Arena A. C.'s boxing show last night
Referee Walter De Baum declared that Ed Steele.
colored, lost TO Bob Dillon for punching with
one hand free.
Johnny Goode and Mike Leonard-not the
original Mike Leonard. however-at liz pounds
for ten rounds, were the first combatants. Goode
had it pretty much his own way, but was a poor
Judge of distance. In the final round Leonard
made a good rally, but 1t was too late. Goods
received the verdict.
Dan Duane was substituted for Ed Carroll in
the next bout. at 122 pounds, with Aleo Manley,
q local ~pugilist. They agreed to box ten
rounds. It was such an even thing that tho
decision was a draw.
The next bout was between Ed Steele, colored,
of Montreal, and Bob Dillon Of the new West
Side A. c. They weighed $50 pounds, and were
booked for ten rounds. In the third round the
referee abruptly interfered and stopped the
bout, giving the decision to Dillon on a foul.
A hfteen.round bout between Tom Lansing
Of Milwaukee,. Kid McCoy's sparring partner,
and Dick Baker. colored, completed the card.
They came together ut 1853 pounds. They had
| scarcely put up their hands when Baker rushed.
| He swung right and left lightly on Lansing's jaw,
They amo together again quickly, and q rapid
exchange followed. Lansing then landed q ter
rible jolt on Bakers jaw with his right. and Ba-
ker went down, knocked out. The time OF tho
bout was four seconds, which equals the shortest
contest on record, that between Flaherty and
Hawkins at Carson.

the brothers Grimm and Ulv entered.
DIV had recently been refused by the
bride, and he was out for revenge. An
attack was made. The women huddled
together, while the men tried to rally.
The brothers had seized the bridegroom,
and Ulv was about to plunge his dag
ger into his breast. Then a terrible
crash was heard, and it seemed as if
10, 900 demons were on the outside. The
brothers stood as if transfixed. They
knew it was Asgaardsreien. and they
faltered. The doors flew open, and Ulv
was seized by the throat and dragged
on the outside. Then the people gather
ed in the house heard shrill whiz, as
of something flying through the air,
and then all was quiet, but Ulv was
never seen again. His brother Grimm
was badly hurt, but recovered, and on
Christmas evenings in years thereafter
he told to the children the wedding fes-
tival that was visited by Asgaardsreien.

Christmas In England.

l fancy an English Christmas is too
well known TO need much description.
English novels have described it fully,
and the English illustrated papers at
Christmas time give good idea Of the
festivities Every one who has coun-
try place goes there for Christmas
There is generally large house party
and dancing and skating help to pass
the time. The houses and churches are
decorated with holly and greens, and
"mistletoe hangs on the castle wall. :"
The tree is almost as universal an insti-
tuition in England as in Germany, and
the evening is given over to amusing
the children, who play blind man $
buff, snap dragon and hide and seek.
The proverbial English Christmas din
ner always includes roast beef and plum
pudding. Every self respecting English
man goes TO church ON Christmas morn
ing, and i'll some country parishes the
waits" still sing their carols from
house to house on Christmas eve
In other respects it is kept very much
as the American Christmas. British

DINGlEY ON THE ELECTIONS

Says the Democratic Party Cannot Win
Under Bryan's Leadership.
The avoidance by the Democratic
leaders of the tariff issue in the recent
elections at the time when the admins
tration of new tariff creates friction
and opens the door for reckless assaults
indicates that this issue will not be
prominent, either in the congressional
elections of next year or the presidential
election three years hence, arising part.
ly from the feeling among business men
that tho country should have tariff re-
form in the next few years and partly
from the belief that the sad experiences
of the past four years have greatly
strengthened the protective policy in the
country.
While it is evident that the Demo-
cratic party is to remain for the next
few years under the leadership of Mr..
Bryan and TO make its contests on the
lines of the Chicago platform, except
that silver is TO be made less prominent
and, it may be, give place to some ex-
tent to some other form of monetary
agitation ON the line of cheaper" dol
lar, but subordinate to assaults on CAPT
tai and the courts with appeals to class
prejudice, yet it is probable that never
under his guidance will it again come
any nearer to carrying the country than

GOODBY TO SHODDY!
Its Exclusion by High Tariff VIII I'm
prove the Quality of Our WOOlens.

H. Dy n hikh w III
prove the Quality of Our Woolens.
1t is the unvarying testimony of mer-
chants and manufacturers of clothing
that under the Wilson bill larger
quantity and percentage Of shoddy and
worthless mixtures were used in men 9
woolens than was ever before known in
the history Of the country. Inferior
goods at outrageously low valuations
were imported and sold at price for
which honest cloths could not be manu-
featured. Consequently, in order to
meet this competition, domestic cloth
makers were compelled to resort to all
kinds of tricks and devices in the cheap
ening of their fabrics.
1t is striking fact however, that
even these inferior stuffs were much
better in quality and wear than the i'm
ported goods that sold at the same
prices The fact is that when an Amer
lean manufacturer turns out cheap goods
he puts up better article than any
other nation on earth. Trust Yankee
skill and ingenuity for that.
But the era of shoddy has passed, let
us nope, IoreNer' Onuel proteCIion Iho
manufacturer is no longer obliged to
compete with fabrics of low value and
poor quality, produced abroad. If the
price is somewhat increased by reason
of the higher cost of raw material, the
improved quality and longer wear will
more than make up the difference.
Therefore the American workingman
is the gamer, as he gets better value for
his money. He is the gamer in another
way. He now works six days in the
week, whereas under free trade and
lower values he worked four days i'll the
week, or very likely had no work at all.
He can we'll afford to bid goodby to the
era of shoddy.

CHRISTMAS GREENS.
A Beautiful Custom Which Comes tn Us
From the Romans.

n beautIuf custom w Mon comes tO Us
From the Romans.
The fashion of decking the house with
green's as we do at Christmas dates
back into old Roman times, when a
feast in honor of Saturn was celebrated
and the temples of the dwellings were
dressed with green boughs-possibly a
remnant Of that tree worship which,
Sin ITSELF" says Ruskin, Il believe
was always healthy" when 1.-THE flow
ers and trees are themselves beheld and
beloved with half worshiping delight,
which is always noble and healthful. "
The plants most in demand for church
decoration at Christmas time in Eng
land as well as in this country are hol-
ly, bay and laurel. English holly is
sometimes imported, but the American
holly, which comes from Virginia and
other sections Of the south, is very
good substitute for it. The bay is the
rarest plant of the three in this country,
but ground laurel is commonly sold and
is one of the most effective of the Christ
mas green's.
In decorating room with Christmas
green's it should be remembered that a
very slight touch of color should be used
with green and that the most objec-
