The Richmond high school team is
the issuing of a challenge
to some one of the largest high schools

athletic meet. In preparation for such

actual competitive experience. This

held Wednesday afternoon at Earlham.
This morning the invitation was ac-

MADRID, May 30 O'Clock p. IN.
Advices from Manila say that the
American squadron under Commodore
Dewey appeared off the bay off Manila
at 8 O'Clock this morning and opened a
strong canonade against the spanish
SQUADRON and forts protecting the har-
bor. The Spanish second class cruiser
Don Juan de Austria was severely
damaged and her commander was
killed. Another Spanish vessel was
burned. The American squadron re-
tired. having also sustained severe
damage.
A second naval engagement followed,
in which the American squadron again
suffered considerable loss and the
Spanish war ships Mindanao aud ulloa
were slightly damaged. During this
engagement the Cavite forts MAINTAIN
ed a steadier and stronger fire on the
American squadron than in the first
engagement.
SD. Following is the text of the
official dispatch from the governor
general of the Philippines to the minis
ter of war, Lieutenant General Correa,
as to the naval engagement OFF Ma
Mia:
Last night, April 80. the batteries
at the entrance TO the fort announced
the arrival of the enemy's squadron,
which forced q passage under the OBJ
scurity of the night. AT daybreak the
enemy took up positions, opening with
a strong fire against Fort Cavite and the
arsenal. Our fleet engaged the enemy
in a brilliant combat, protected by
the Csvite and Manila forts. They
Obliged the enemy. with heavy loss, to
maneuver repeatedly. AT o'elock
the American squadron toek refuge
behind the foreign merchant shipping
on the east side of the bay. Our fleet,
considering the enemy's superiority,
naturally suffered a severe loss. The
Maria Christina is on FIRE, and another
ship, believed TO be the Don Juan &c
Austria, was blown up. There was

Two men, who had been seen by
certain parties while returning from
their task, had entered the chicken
house of the Davidsons and had taken
four hens with q combined brood of
one hundred chicks. Mr.. Davidson
had begun on the following day to fol-
low up certain signs that had been left
behind by the thieves and had gone
to the home of Sherman Byrd.

he found his property. At that place
reside Sherman Byrd and his wife,

THE FACTORIES.
The Local Factories Are In q Prosper
Gus Condition,

The Richmond factories are al
present enjoying a season of pros
perity. OF twenty nine factories,
twenty five are running full time, and
the others are in the hands of receiv-
ers. The factories that are running
full time are also running full force,
and the most gratifying thing about
the whole story is that during the las.
year not one factory has reduced the
wages of its men. Some had phe-
nomenal gains in business, and many
tory facilities.

Lace from Leaf PUN,

Women generally have a great weak
ness for laces. They will be glad to
know that caterpillars have taken to
lace making. A German officer, &C.
cording to an English paper, has in
vented a new kind of lace. He first
pounds together about 50 or 60 leaves
of a special tree on which live small
caterpillars peculiar to Bavaria. This
composition when reduced to pulp is
thinly spread on slate, and on this
smooth surface design is drawn with
q pencil dipped in olive oil, and then
the greedy caterpillars are placed on
either side of the slate to at once begin
their work Of destruction by eating
away as quickly as possible the layer
of paste, without touching, however,
the traceries of the oily pencil. The
result is what we should call stencil
design, but whether sufficiently firm
to be utilized as dress trimming is not
stated in the report. The process is
at least most ingenious, and appears to
deserve more the name of stencilling
or applique work than of lace. We
must wait for further details.-N. Y.

BUYING PURE BREEDS.
Dol lar or Two So Invested VIII Pay
Tcnfold Returns in Very
Short Time.

The farmer who buys trio or more
of fowls in the fall will make no mis-
take, and if he prefers to get the eggs
in the spring all will be well, but he
must expect to be ridiculed by some
of his neighbors for paying one or two
dollars for male or hen. Neverthe-
less these same farmers and neigh
bors will promptly come forward and
request to change eggs" with him
when they desire to hatch chicks in
the spring. If a farmer buys eggs of
the pure breed he buys ''stock," the
eggs being simply the embryo chicks.
The farmer who desires to improve
also goes too far sometimes. Instead
of depending on one breed, he begins
with two or more. His interest will be
sufficiently strong for a year or more
TO keep his birds separate, but in the
course of time he will undertake to
save labor by turning all the breeds
out together. Then the down grade
begins, and in a season or two his
fowls will be all cross-breeds and mon
grels, with no uniformity or fixed
