LAST CENTURY SOCIETY BUD.

Diversions and Attire of n New York Do
butante Hundred Years Ago.
"Nestling under the wing of her
mamma Is the debutante of 49," Mrs.
Burton Harrison writes, descriptive OF
q scene in fashionable mead-house
on the Bowery (New York;, more than
a century ago, in the Ladies' Home
Journal. "She is made happy by a
new gown and hat Of pale green satin,
with petticoat of India muslin trim
med with fine Mechlin lace. The stock
ings sported by this favored damsel
are of green silk, clocked with silver;
her little shoes are of drab embro.der-
cd leather. That she Is, for the first
time, allowed to make one of the
grown-up party in the arbor at the
mead-house fills her young being with
satisfaction. For the moment she can
afford to dispense with the society Of a
male attendant. But when a smartly
dressed young fellow rides up, by and
by, on horseback. and dismounts. flick
ing the dust from his beautiful riding
boots and breeches, as he consigns his
steed to groom and hastens along the
gravel walk to join their group, flush
of innocent joy comes into her cheeks.
He is her betrothed, and upon her next
birthday she is to give him her hand
in marriage, and go away to be the
lady of a fine house his father has built
for the young couple upon the patri-
monial acres. All this has been long
arranged between the families. The
married pair will live with her mamma
at Whitehall during the winter, and In
spring resort to their seat in Bowery
Lane"

NATIONAL CRoaUET TOURNEY.
StIcng, Duryea ind WahIey Lead in
. the First Division.

The second round in the croquet tourney
a Norwich, Conn, was commenced in the
first and second divisions yesterday, and
Strong and Duryea and Wahley havs their
fights still undetermined. Wahley, by mis-
cradle playing with Jacobus, lost game TO
him, but as he still has an opportunity to
defeat both Strong and Duryea he has a
chance for the prize. Strong won games
from Butler and Apgar by excellent play
Ing. giving his opponents no chances what
ever. Duryea also took Butler and Sisson
into camp and then closed his days record
with no defeats in the tourney play.
In the second division Edmunds of Phila-
delpEia gave Dudley his first defeat. Then
Bryan took hold of him and gave him
arother. This gives Cooper, Dwight and
Bryant all even chances with Dudley. In
the third division Crosbie had his record
broken by Bard of Norwich, but stands
nearly sure of first place, as Bard must win
all his remaining games to tie the New
Yorker.
Two very interesting games for the Van
Wickle medal were played by Strong and
Duryea, the former winning. The balls in
the first game never gave Duryea possible
carom and the champion was forced to sue
cumb without getting an arch. In the sec
ond game the New Londoner again started
and held just as rigid rein, never giving
life to his opponent. The score:

MICHAEL MAY LEAVE THE WHEEL
The Jockey Bee Again Buzzing in His
Bonnet.

FROM lne NeW 1ofk tribune.
Little Jimmy Michael, the clever mid
dle-distance bicycle rider, has the jockey
bee buzzing in his bonnet again, and he is
said to have practically made up his mind
to desert the wheel for the running turf.
Michael had bad attack of the same dis
ease last spring, and he spent some time
exercising horses at the Gravesend track.
When the time came, however, for him to
jump into the bicycle saddle, he apparent
ly forgot the horse. His contract with a
cycling association will expire in a few
weeks, however, and intimate friends of
the little fellow say that he will again be
found at the running track.
Michael himself admits that he wants
to become a jockey, and says he realizes
the troublesome times ahead of him before
he secures a mount upon a first-class horse
Sensational reports have been circulated
that Michael Is confident that in a few
months he will be able to rival the peer
less Sloan. OF course, If Michael has any
such ideas they will be quickly knocked out
of his head. He has just about as much
chance to rival Sloan on the turf as Sloan
has to rival Michael as bicycle rider.
When Shafer, Mfchael's manager, was
asked recently whether Michael was going
to become a jockey, he said with his char
acteristic candor that he did not care a
rap what Jimmy did as soon as his con-
tract with him (Shafer) had been carried
out AS Michael is Shafers meal ticket
one would suppose that "Foxey CUTLER
would show little more concern regard
ing the subject. Michael will ride Letter
son a fifteen-mile paced race at Asbury
Park tomorrow, and he will PROBABLY
meet Taylore and perhaps Bald in three
track on August 27. According to reports
these will be SiichaePs last races this year.

CALLING IN THE LAW.
Holmes Attorney Will Seek an In
junction Against Baltimore Club

The National League board of directors
are very likely to have a lawsuit on their
hands as the result of Their generally con-
demned decision in the Holmes Freedman
controversy. Holmes, the Baltimore play
er, consulted legal counsel yesterday, with
a view of preventing the board from carry
ing out the decree of suspensio Mr.. Con-
way w. Sans, his attorney, in discussing
the matter, said:
Il have been looking inGo the law bear
ing on the subject. and the deeper 1 go the
more certain L am that Holmes can pre-
vent the board from depriving him Of
earning his living on any such ground as
the one charged, and especially without
giving him chance TO be heard. In fact,
l hardly believe the members of the board
will attempt to enforce their decree when
they consider the matter and see that they
are wrong. rather expect to see some
compromise made of the whole affair that
timore club"
1t Is likely that an injunction will be
sought by Holmes, directed to Mr.. Hanlon,
ana forpidd1ng Holmes suspension The
steps Will probably be taken before the
team leaves Baltimore next week for the
west.
Holmes is receiving much sympathy, not
ohiy from the general public, but from ball
players all over the country. He has re-
ceived a number of letters of sympathy
from persons he never saw and YESTERDAY
