Close Game Between Richmond and

The Richmond College boys defeated the
Catholic University team on their own
grounds by SEQ re of to g.
The game was played with a great deal
OF snap by both teams, and was interest
ing and exciting from start to finish. AL
though the university team took the lead
In the first inning, in which they scored
one run and increased their lead by two
more in the third, the margin was too
small TO inspire confidence as to the final
result.
The visitors scored one in the third and
another in the fourth. From then on till
the ninth they failed to score. although
often they came very near il. This w as
the case in the seventh inning, when the

with pitched ball, but was put out

fourth man up and prevented their oppo-

In the ninth the university boys were
retired In one, two, three order, and when
the visitors came to bat the score stood
TO in favor of the locals. The speeta
tors, and there was a goodly crowd of
them, fairly went wild with excitement.
The first Richmond up went out on a long
high fly to Bolton in right The next ,Ip
was hit with pitched ball, and seemed
glad of it. Elysop then stepped to the
plate and struck out. Two out and man
on first was the situation. The result
looked like foregone conclusion, but it
was not. White, the next up, wa S down on
McTighe's private tab as soft thing.

umpire called out two strikes Another
ball was sent over the plate and White

siberian Horses.
tFrom the Philadelphia Record

ttIom The Philadelphia Record
Three hundred bales Of horses names
and tails, to he used fer uphOlstering fur
niture, have been landed here by the
British steamships Maine and Michigan
from London. They come from far away
Siberia, and are taken from horses used
by the Cossacks after the animals have
outlived their usefulness. Horses are
cheap in Russia, and, after having seen
better days, tteir names and tails are
the only things left of Il commercial value.
Very often these hirsute appendagcs are
taken from Sound animals. and the beasts
left to their fate. Here the uphol st erers
use the hair for stuffing chairbacks and
other articles of furniture, and the ma
teriai from Russia brings the best price,
because the hair is the longest, and con-
seQuently the best.
