Travellers in South Africa have noted
the fact that where monkeys congregate
in large nun bers they also indulge in
games Of certain kind Two Of these
games seem to resemble crickes and

The cricket is of primitive order.

from different extrcmities Of the circle
and stop about Is yards apart. facing
each other The monkey at the southern
end of the circle has cocoanut in his

The monkey as the other end does
not, as you might suupose, WELD fell

coooanut which the bowler aims at his
head The delivery OF the ball is tre-
mendcusly fast, full pitched and fraughs
with dire results if it touches the

the spot-that is. any part Of the mon
keys body-that monkey is very much
out and doesn't even stop to dispute the
question.
Another monkey takes his place until
he. too, receives his dismissal It was
presumed by the travellers that the game
was finished when majority Of mon
KEYS lay nursing their wounds under
the friendly shade OF q neighboring
palm.
The football is of a more advanced
type It is also played with cccoanut.
The game, if anything, is undoubtedly
the "socker'' game and is played with
the feet. OF course there is no goal nor
any tactics to speak of, the object Of
each animal being to keep the ball to
himself as much as possible.

makes it resemble real game Of foot

these peculiar amasccrs is surprising
and wonderful.

continued until to-day. The charge
against Gallagher is that he stole a

on lower Main street. and he had in his

where the instrument had stood.
The constable then went on a still
hunt for the piano. He found IL In the
possession of j. v. Collins. who showed
a bill OF sale to the instrument signed
by Gallagher. 1t appears that while the

very closely, yr. Collins, armed with
his bill of sale, engaged the services OF
an expressman and had the instrument

through this entrance that the plano

THE BREWERY SOLD.

John ". Petritx and John Armbruster
Will H~nceforth Contr u the PIN =.
There was a big transfer of property
last night which involves 5000. The sale
involves the stock of the Anaconda Brew
ing company, probably the second largest
establishment in the city. BY the terms
of yesterdays transfer John v. Petritz
and John Armbruster will control the
stock formerly held by Joseph Steiger AMI
Joseph Faul. The purchase price of the
stock he'd by Faul and Steiger is $50, go,
half of which is transferred to Mr.. Pc
tritz and the other half to Mr.. Armbrus-
ter.
The transfer was completed only late
last night and for the present the estab-
lishment will be conducted under the
name of the old firm. This is due to the
fact that Mr.. Faul is at present on a visit
In Germany, but his return is expected
within the next six weeks. AS soon as he
arrives the company will resolve itself
INTO a corporation and the change Of
management will be formally made. The
association will probably be a stock COM
pany.
Mr.. Faul, one of the retiring member
of the firm, has been connected with the
brewery almost from its in~cipiency. His
association with the plant has extend d
over a period of at least 10 years. Mr..
Steiger has also long been connected with
the brewery. Mr.. Petritz. who is one of
the new purchasers. is now a member Of
the company. and has been for the past
three years. Mr.. Armbruster, his partner.
has occupied and still holds the position
of brewmaster of the establishment. The
brewery Is situated on West Fourth
street, and operates. besides the brewing
plant, an extensive bottling works and a
retail saloon. Recently an ice manufac-
turing plant of enormous capacity has
been installed.
