Toledo won the game in Garrison
finish, thereby splitting even with
Wheeling on the first meeting of the
two clubs 1t was dull and tiresome
exhibition, played under threatening
sky. Both teams lacked ginger, and
there were no features out of the ordin-
airy. The visitors hit the ball hard in
nearly every inning, but Dolan was
lucky enough to keep the safe ones
scattered until the ninth, when bat
ting streak brought in the winning
run with but one man out.
Wheeling put up stubborn fight
under adverse circumstances. When
three runs were made in the first three
innings it loked like the victory was
clinched. Durett led off with single
in the second and Taylor cracked out a
line hit over the first bag which got
mixed up in a set of carriage wheels.
Durett scored and Taylor reached third,
the latter tallying while Babb was be-
ing retired at first on hit to the in
field. In the next inning Lytle got a
life on Beck's tumble, advanced bag
IN Dobbs' base on balls, and scored on
Niles clean single, to right field. After
this but two hits Were made, the side
being generally retired in order.
For the visitors Smith reached first
in the fourth inning on scratch in
field hit and made daring steals of sec
ond and third, scoring ON two-bagger
by Arthur which Durett would have
pulled down if he had not misjudged it.
In the seventh Myers singled to left
field and took another base on Durett's
tumble. Gilks' clean single brought
him in.
The fans were confident of victory
in the ninth when Griffin, the first
batsman to face Dolan, struck out
while trying to work the pitcher for
pass to first. Beck hit the ball down
toward third and Niles ran in front of
Babb, who made an excusable tumble
in handling the ball. Then singles by
Myers, Gilks and Smith in succession
brought in the two runs necessary to
win.

THEY KISSED VICTORIA.
Death of the Last Member of the SO-
ciety of the Royal Kiss
in Paris.

Mrs. Eleanor Jeifreys, English, from
Raleigh, Essex, died in this city, aged
90, says a Paris correspondent. With
her disappeared the Society of the Kiss
Royal, of which she was the only sur
yiying member.
The society was composed originally
of 45 young women who had kissed
Queen Victoria at the cost of shilling
each. That happened when her gra-
cious majesty was an infant in the
cradle.
One day her nurse had taken her out
in pony cart for an airing in Rich
mond park. The tiny princess was
recognized by the students of one of the
most aristocratic girls schools in Lon
don. They surrounded the little car
riage and one of the girls offered to
give the nurse shilling if she would
let her kiss the pretty baby. The nurse
accepted.
Then all the other students, amid
great laughter and cndearments to the
child, in turn paid the toll and kissed
the princess, and the servant made
quite little sum.
When Victoria had succeeded to the
throne of England the girls who had
kissed the queen formed friendly as
sociation, the Society of the Kiss Royal,
which Victoria honored shortly after
ward with very gracious, good
humored autograph letter, that finally
passed into the possession of Mrs. JEFF
fyeys, the last member.
