 Farewell, long farewell, to MT Best as an umpire. Even Jerry Den ny had to acknowledge that he was bad, very bad.

 O,Brien on third for. Derby made some star plays yesterday. and it is | too bad that this player does not know enough to keep his mouth closed. He spells clean record by his unneces- sary blackguarding.
 When 1t comes to making double plays, there Is not pair in the busi- ness In this league that can execute them with the neatness and dispatch attending the work of Rogers and De- laney.-Bridgeport Post.
 Lack of ginger was noticed in the | playing of the team yesterday and sev- ernl laid the blame on the extremely hot day. The>weather did not seem to have any i'll effect on the Derby play CTS, who were in the game all the time.
 The jury in the case of the amateur base ball players, arrested for playing on Sunday in Syracuse was out just three minutes yesterday morning, and then returned a verdict of not guilty The trial of the Syracuse Eastern league players for the same offense Is | down for July 6.
 Rosson. the deaf and dumb pitcher | of the New London team. was traded | yesterday for Third Baseman A'Hasey of the Bridgeport team. While play | ing his first game with New London | at New Haven yesterday afternoon, Catcher Luchia of the latter nine ,col- lided with AHasey and the third base man broke his leg in the mlx-up.
 To succeed Rosson we will start next week with Frank Schmidt, from, the l Baltimore American league. Last year he was with Columbus and the year before played with Tucker on the Gin einnati team. 1t is through Tucker we | get Schmidt, and he will round out q quartette of pitchers fast enough for anything in this league.-New London | Globe.
 Matty Matthews is the only one who I seems to have any life, and the only l one that has had life all season. He should remember, however, that hit l is never safe until the batter Is on first base. What looked like a hit yester- day was pulled down by Jerry Denny, and if Matthews had run to first in- stead of taking his time until it was too late, he would have been safe. Amos Rusie, once the idol of New York base ball enthusiasts, has gone astray again. The news came yester- day to members of the Cincinnati Ma I tional league base ball club. now in l New York, that the mighty Rusie has again fallen by the wayside. He has

ROOT WHIPS CARTER.

x San Francisco, June 29.-After if teen rounds of the fiereest fighting ever seen here, Jack Root of Chicago was given the decision on foul over Kid Carter of Brooklyn at the auditorium last night. The fight was fast and flu rious from start to finish. Both men mixed 1t up repeatedly and the might ing was wicked, For the first eight roundslit was very even thing, but in the tenth, Root broke Carter's nose, and for three rounds continued to jab thcsinjured member until the Kid was i'll bad shape. Tn the thirteenth, how ever, Carter rallied and had Root going for two rounds. They came up in the fifteenth, both tired, but never slack ened the pace for moment. Finally in q mixup Carter swung his left very low on Roots body, and Jack went down clasping his stomach as if in pain. The referee quickly gave the fight to Root on foul The decision of the referee acused the widest ex- citement. Carter was cheered long and loudly by the crowd.

ROB FITzsIMMoNss USHER.


 Society is all agog over a coming wedding-that is, Bath Beach society. Incidentally, burlesquers and vaude- williams are taking new interest in life. The excitement even extends to the gentlemen of the prize ring. After these hints the reader will guess thatit is not a Vanderbilt wedding, nor even the wedding of a duke. The contract ing parties are none other than Clark Bell and Theo Julian. MT Bell, be it known, is the manager of the Miaco City Club company. Miss Julian is a sister of she who, under the name of Rose Julian, once tiefba herself into knots for the ediication of lovers of vaudeville, and is now Mrs Robert Fitzsimmons. The interesting event will take place at o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Fitzsimmons cottage at Bath Beach. The best man will be w. G. Morrissey. Mrs Fitzsimmons will be the matron of honor Mir Fitz- simmons himself will take no mean part in the festivities. The former champion pugilist will be the head usher and sergeant-at-arms. It is hoped that this hint will be sufficient to such of the guests as may be tempt ed to permit their joy over the glad event to pass beyond reasonable bounds. If it is not, it can be added that the sergeant-at-arms has an nounced in no uncertain tones that the etiquette of good society is going to be preserved. The bride-elect has been for some time with Fitzsimmons's the atrical company. She is said to play the banjo in such q way as to make 1t give forth pleasing harmonies. It is probable that next season she will join her husbands company. Bride and groom will view the honeymoon at Saratoga.

 Leg in New Haven-Bridgeport Has
 Again Assumed the Leadership of
 the League-Results of Other Games.
 Waterbury was defeated by Derby yesterday for the very simple reason that her players did not support young Cassidy, who pitched good enough to win any ordinary game. Her players did not play base ball as it should be played. and her players could not hit the ball when hit was good for any thing. Another very good reason why we did not win was the fact that Um- pTre Best would not let us, for he gave us the worst roasting any team ever received.

New Haven, June 2e.-It was fun ny game played yesterday between New Haven and New London. The WEalers went after Deering right in the first two innings and in the second he was forced to go to the bench.

JOHN CoNsIDINE's BULLET.

John Considine, the sporting and the atrical man, who once had the honor of directing the pugilistic affairs of James J. Corbett, has gone to the Adir- ondacks to gather enough strength to withstand an operation for the removal of bullet that has been part of his makeup for eight years. He was thought to have been suffering from consumption but it is now said that the bullet is the cause of his bad health. Considine was in a saloon in Detroit eight years ago when a man entered and. without word, shot him just above the heart.

 London, June 29.-The second trial of Jack Roberts, the pugilist, and oth- CTS, charged with manslaughter in causing the death of Bill Smith (Mur- ray Livingston of Philadelphia), as the result of a boxing contest, April P, at the National Sporting club, this city, began yesterday at the Old Bailey court. The jury in the first trial, which was concluded May 15, disagreed, and tho defendants were bound over to ap- pear at the next session of the court. The public prosecutor explained that the prosecution was undertaken with the view of stopping future competi- tions of this kind rather than with the. view of punishing the defendants. Among the witnesses called for the de fense was the Earl of Lonsdale. He said he had been associated with box ing for twenty-five years. The Queens berry rules, prevailing. at the National Sporting club, minimized the danger of boxing contests. At the close of the testimony all the defendants were ac- quilted.

A GREAT MARKSMAN.
"Wild Bill's'' Extraordinary Proficiency
With q Revolver.

"Wild Bills" Extraordinary Proficiency
with a Revolver.
wild Bill" Hickok was tie first
frontiersman who recognized the m
portance of proficiency in the use Of
the s~ix-shooter, says E. G. Little In
Everybody's Magazine. This was the
real secret of his supremacy. He was
an unerring marksman, and shot as
accurately under fire as when firing at
a mark, apparently taking no aim.
Probably no man aver equaled him in
the lightning rapidity with which he
could draw a weapon in time of emnr-
gency, and in the thorough self-po5ses-
sion that made it possible for him to
take advantage of every opportunity
in savage conflict. He had a standing
order to his deputies that they should
not rush in on him in any of his
! ARRAYS, and especially should not come
up quickly In his rear. By forgetting
this williams met his death, Hiekok
taking him for an enemy, and firing
SO rapidly that it left no opportunity for
recognition. He readily killed the
wild goose across the Smoky Hill with
his revolver. Riding at his horses
highest speed he fired shot after shot
into d tin can or hitching post a few
rods distant. Standing at n teie-
graph pole he would swing rapidly on
his heel and fire q pistol ball into the
next telegraph pole. There were some
of the simr'er feats hs performer das
after day on the street to settle little
wagers. He could shoot Il hole through
o silver dine at 50 o,tts. and could
| drive the cork through the neck OF a
bottle, and, at 80 PAGES, knock out the
| bottom without breaking the neck. lie
could do what the fancy shots OF the
| present day do, and possibly some OF
them equal him as marksmen with a
revolver, but it must be remembered
that he was the first to acquire this
| skill. and that he shot just as well with
| Others shooting at him, and at a man,
al steadily as at any other target.

was first applied to photographing

Tho United States supreme cours

The United States Supreme court
holds on to presidents and traditions
of the past va more tenacity than
any 9ler body in the country. The
court kept up the practice of filing its
official snutfbox longer than did the
United States senate, and the senate
held on to the once popular drug long
after it had ceased to be generally
used The love OF the old way is
shown in the Supreme court every
time that august body meets by the
array Of quill pens distributed over
the desks. When the quill was the
only pen instructions were given to
have q certain number of them placed
on the desks for members of the court.
Very few people now use the quill,
and those who do woUld get along
very we'll with a steel pei But no one
has ever dared to intereM"e with a
custom once established, and the quill
pen doubtless still has a long life in
the court.

The United States furnishes nearly

The United States furnishes nearly
nine-tenths of the worlds supply Of
cotton; the East Indies, Egypt and
smaller countries the other tenth. We
can hardly maintain this ascendency
with the efforts making to take away
the business. Japan, for example, Is
manufacturing cotton cloth, and takes
largely Of our supply. Now she has
cut her demand in two because by
using cheap Indian cotton and mixing
it with the American article she can
place her goods on the market at a less
price than if wholly made of u ma
terial. Another competitor will ma
terialize in a few years. With the
damming Of the Nile and the estab-
lishment of the irrigating canals which
are a part of the enterprise, a vast
tract of Egypt will be opened up for
the cultivation of the cotton plant.
An area equal to four large American
states will be reclaimed and much OF
it will be devoted to cotton raising.
European and Asiatic manufacturers
expect to get the material much
cheaper, because Egyptian labor is
paid SO little in comparison with
American.
