COST OF A STOLEN RIDE.

Willie Mcdonald, nine. years old. of No.
50 Wallis avenue, paid the penalty for
stealing a ride or a freight train, yester-
day afternoon, by having his right leg
crushed from the knee down. The lad
stole on behind a train that was passing
Duffield street about six o'clock. He
slipped and fell between the cars. The
ponderous wheels reduced his leg to a
pulp.
The train was stopped and the uncon-
scious lad was picked up and taken to the
Marion station. From there he was sent
to the CITY Hospital.

KINGS SONS GAMES


The Montauk Athletic Club suffered de-
feat yesterday at the hands of the Crys-
tails in a very fast game in which hard
and frequent hitting was the main feat
ure. Both cams showed up unusually
strong with the willow branch and the
hardest and most intricate propositions

found and badly punished. As the game
resulted, the Crystals won their victory
in the first four innings and the Mon
tauks were unable to overcome the big
lead though they played good ball toward
the close. Then it was too late. Scott
was in the box for the Montauks and he
was numerically hammered around that
diamond by the Crystals In each of the
first three innings h Crystals scored
five runs and in the fourth they tailed
seven. For the next four innings how
ever, they could not score and wound UP
in the ninth with two. The score:-

Red is the craze OF the Hloliene III 10
Just at present, and as it doesn't take US
long to follow in their footsteps 1t has
come to us in the rather startling shape
of right bright pidue and duck skirts
These are as yet extremely new, ano
whether they will become popular re-
mains, to be seen. When trimmed in with
red or white braid, in serpentine style a
L.. Zaza. and combined with a white shirt
waist and red scarf, they are rather chic
in a dashing fashion, but their use viii
nrot,ably be restricted to summer resort
wear. Gowns of the same shade, how
oyer. of India, silk crepe de chine or
nuns yelling. trimmed with an abund-
ance of white or ecru lace, to relieve
their g1aring effect, will no doubt nav
a much wider vogue
A black and white checked silk is very
good STYLE and can be worn long without
becoming tiresome to the owner. Narrow
black velvet ribbon is the preferred trim
ming unless you decide upon the marrow
double putting of liberty silk. These
ruches of liberty silk and chiffon wear
much better than any n not acquainted
with them would suppose. However, they
are bound to collapse sooner or later;
while the fiat application of velvet holds
its own well. If color is needed to render
the check becoming. it can be worn in
chemisette, collar. belt or in "garnish''
of ribbons.
Toques are decidedly idolized this sea-
son and constitute three-fourths of the
hats. They are worn raised at
the side, although it is more the trim
mings which are elevated than the hat it
self. Al few high crowns have appeared.
but it is by no means certain that they
willtake. and SO far our leading milliners
nave ignored them in a marked manner.
