NEwPoRTS FORFEIT A GAME.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 11.-With
the score TO 0 in favor of Fall River,
the game Tuesday was forfeited by the
Newports in the last half of the second
inning. Fred Doe was present TO act
as umpire and no objection was made
by the visitors until after the COM
pletion OF Fall Rivers half Of the sec
ond inning. when they scored two runs.
In Newport's half Pickett was the
first man at bat and struck out Capt.
Kelly then went on To the field and
demanded that Doe show his creden-
tials as umpire, Doe refused, and when
Manager Finn started to go out into the
diamond summoned q policeman 10 re,
move him from the grounds, but Mr..
Finn walked off. The Newport players
then picked up their gloves and Doe
declared the game forfeited TO Fail
River, 8 to 0. Manager Marston tried
TO get the Newports to play post
poned game. Offering to allow two of
their own men to ofiiciate as umpires,
but the request was refused, and 500
spectators were disappointed. Mr.. Doe
stated that he had received a MESSAGE
from Secretary Morse asking him 20 Of
fciate, and inasmuch as his decisions
had been accepted without objection
until nearly two innings had been
played, he felt that IL was hardly the
proper time to ask for credentials.

race would have doubtless furnished a
grand spectacle, as nearly the whole
course on a clear day is visible from the
famous cliff walk.
The course was n triangular one OF Fl
miles, and during the race the wind was
light and from the southeast, although
at one time il freshened and the Sayo-
nara carried away her topmast. The
start was at 1850 and the yachts cross
ed the line in the following order: Wasp
Queen Nab. Gloriana and Sayonara.
The schooners crossed the line in this
order: Amorita. Fenella, Marguerite,
Alert. Colonia. Sachem and Emerald,
The Fenella was the first TO tack and
from then TO the first mark all the
boats made short bitches. Wasp truned
the first mark shortly after 1 o'clock,
followed by Queen Nab, Amorita, Sayo-
nara, Colonia. Gloriana, Emerald, Mar
guerite, Alert, Sachem and Fenella.
In the run TO the second mark, of
Bakers Island, the wind was astern
and nearly all the boats broke out their
spinDakers and balloon jibs. Before this
leg was half completed the fog shut
down. making the boats invisible from
the shore. The fog was very dense
when they turned the second mark. and
the Sachem lost about 20 minutes on ac-
count of misjudging the boy. The fog
lifted just before the finish. The official
times follow:

Life is an uphill struggle with manv

A TAME LEOPARD.
With Its Master II Walked About the
Streets of Berlin.


Of all the cat tribe leopards are the
easiest to tame, if they are captured
when young. When they are old their
savage habits have become fixed, and il
is almost impossible then to tame them.
Thirty years ago curious and we'll
known sight on the streets of Berlin
was Won der Madliern with his tanned
leopard. Baron Won der Madliern.
when young man, was several years
German consul in Egypt While there
an Arab friend presented him with
young leopard. twas only few days
old, its eyes not open yet. The young
baron determined to make pet of the
leopard and train and treat It like a
dog.
The leopard was never confined in
cage, but was always allowed full lib
erty, and was well fed and petted. He
slept on comfortable rug in his mas
ter's room. and. if the night was cold,
crept upon its masters bed and shared
it with him. Through the day, indoors
and out, he followed Won der Madliern
about like faithful dog and displayed
a dogs affection for his master.
He grew by and by into handsome
creature, one of the largest of his spe-
cies, and finely marked. When he had
been in Won der Madliern's possession
about two years the baron was recalled
to Berlin. and took the animal back
with him. In Berlin the leopard occu-
pied the same place in his masters
house that he had done before, and fol-
lowed the baron about the streets in
the same way.
At first the sight of the creature
stalking solemnly along beside the
man created quite a sensation in the
city, and people crowded to see them
pass. But it grew to be an everyday
matter, which only attracted occasion
al notice from strangers or children.
The animal lived to be about Is years
old, and died much lamented by all who
knew him. His story seems to prove
that the Witness of such animals is
only slightly inherited, and that their
