Spectators at the Polo Grounds yesterday en-
joyed double header between the New-York and
Poston teams. Each nine a victory. The
general field work excellent in both games
The spectators did not show much partisan feel
ing, for victory for either team did not count
for much in the opinion of the experts.
In the first game both pitchers did finely for four
innings. After that Taylor pieces, and
the Boston men hit his curves at will, scoring
three runs in the fifth two in the sixth and three
more in the eighth innings. Outside of the sixth
inning Willis had the home players at his mercy
In the second game Denzer pitched with telling
effect, and the home players not only won. but
prevented the men from Boston from scoring a
run Only five hits made off Denzers de-
livery. while Dineen hit freely in the second
inning New-York scored twice in this inning
hits by Selbach and Cancel and Hckmans two
bagger. In the third Davis sent ball sailing into
left field The ball struck 4 policeman and
glanced 10 one side enabling Davis to make a cir
cult of the bases. The Boston protested. but
the umpire argued that the Tammany policemen

THE ELUSIVE LOBSTER.
Some Tint Are Marked with Copper
Tags by the Government
Fish Commission.

Several hundred Holsters have been
travelling about in Buzzard's bay and
it's neighborhood recently with metal
tags attached to their noses, this meth
cd being adopted by the United States
fish commission for the purpose of
finding out something as to the meth
DDS of migration adopted by these
crustaceans and also as to the speed
at which they make their journeys.
In spring and early summer large
numbers of egg-bearing females, coll
lected from the shores of Connecticut,
Rhode Island and southern Massa-
chusetts, are brought to the hatchery
at Woods Holl, where the eggs are re-
moved and incubated in glass jars.
Then the animals are returned to the
ocean. Incidentally, about 500 of
them, not long ago, were marked with
copper tags bearing consecutive num-
bers and request that they be re-
turned to the commission, says the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
One difficulty encountered was that
the Greeks and Portuguese, who own
a great many lobster pots in that viein-
ity, showed Discrimination to return
the tags. preferring to keep them and
utilize them as charms. Nevertheless,
enough of the tags were recovered
to show that an adult lobster has a
comparatively small chance of escap-
ing capture even for a single season.
Out of total of 40 of the Holsters lib
Grated, 76 returned their tags and
found their way to market within n
few weeks. Thus IL is obvious that the
final determination of this valuable
crusta cean, at all events in CONNER
cial sense, cannot long be deferred.
Not much of Importance was ascer-
tanned as to migrations, but the data
obtained seemed to indicate that lob
sters have homing instinct--that is
to say, a tendency to return to the
locality to which they have been ac-
eustomed. Evidence on this point was
secured by liberating the animals at
various points distant from places
where they were caught. For Illus
tration, when lobster caught at
Woods IIoll and released at Gay Head
is recaptured at Woods Holl, it seems
as if only a homing impulse could ac-
count for the movement. Such in
stances, in fact, were numerous.
1t will surprise most people to learn
that, as declared by the experts, the
lobster is remarkable for the swift
ness of it's locomotion. being able by
flexion of it's abdomen to shoot back
ward through the water with aston
ishing rapidity, sometimes going rs
feet in second.

The visitor to the Falkland islands

weather-beaten, moss-coyered bowl
ders of various sizes scattered here

great strength. These are not bowl
ders; they are treesl No other place
in the world can show such peculiar

trees to grow in the proper form; ma
