Base Ball
Brooklyn 0, Boston !


New York, April 15.-The opening
game of the championship season in
Brooklyn today brought out an attend
ance of over 10000. 1t was a gala day
in the base ball annals of Greater New
York. The game was a battle royal of
eleven innings between two as perfect
ly balanced teams as could be brought
together. The pitching of Kennedy and
Nichols was superb, the hitting, of
course, being light in consequence.
Both in-fields were veritable stone
walls. Neither side could score for ten
innings, and then Boston made the
winning run on a wild throw by Jen-

The Custom of Keeping
Open House on New Years Day

The fashionable custom that prevailed for
so many years in southern cities of keep
ing open house on New Years Day has be-
come nowadays almost tradition, and the
first day of the year, if observed at all in
the world of society is celebrated by the
small parties and quiet gatherings that
characterize Christmas Day. The dawn of
the new century will therefore not be mark
ed by the old time custom of the bellies and
beauties receiving formally on New Years
Day a large and brilliant cotere of Their
admirers. 1t is only at the national capital
that New Years calling remains in vogue,
and Tuesday the social columns of the
Washington papers will tell the old story of
the New Years receptions.
Up to a few years ago in the south the
notables in society kept open house on
the first day of the year. and hundreds of

and, from a historical standpoint. she
forms an equally entertaining study. There
is continual line of Benedictine abbesses
stretching back to the year A d. 591, when
Gregory the Great recognized the rank of
abbess in the canon law of the church
AFTER that the ADDRESSES came to the -coun-
ellis of the fathers wearing their mitres
and carrying the =crozier, the symbol of
episcopal rank. In these days the Roman
Catholic church is less progressive, and the

western paper in speaking of the OBJ
servance or general calling on New Years

adds that 1.-THE times when door bells on

constant irritation or else presented to

have gone by and social lights of TODAY
shine less publicly and more decorously Yet
those were good old days, albeit they had
their abuses. 1t was said that socially
ambitious callers took advantage of the day
TO call upon ladies to whom they had never
been presented, and that owing to the mis-
guided hospitality of some hostesses many
were not in a condition to meet those that
they did know. But such stories were al
ways grossly exaggerated and often the day
presented opportunities for greetings be-
tween those who met but once year. Old
family friends who were hermits during the
year on New Years Day got out their gold
headed canes and sailed forth on an annual
visiting tour, and they usually returned
much the better for the unwonted sociabili-
