The game at the Rock yesterday was
won by the score of to and there
were many fine plays made during it's
progress. Wilson, the visitors second
bascman, executed one of the most
sensational plays seen in these parts
for many moons In the third inning
Hafford met one of McNamara's shoots
squarely and sent it on line about
over second base. Wilson started for
the ball and seeing that he couldn't
get both hands on it he showed out his
gloved hand, meeting the ball back
handed. 1t bounded out and he grab
bed it few feet from the ground. To
make the stop alone was remarkable
achievement, but when he put the man
out the crowd broke out into storm
of applause. Another play that called
for great deal of handclapping was
the home run of Woodruff in the sixth
inning with two men on. The ball
sailed far out over Bones head to the
fireworks house in left and Woody was
around the circuit before it was re-
turned.

AT ALL GROCERS.

Great Neck, Long Island, N. Y, July
%, 1901
''Sir-Within the past few days a
series of press comments have been
sent to me from various parts Of the
country on a book entitled The History
of the Navy written by one Edgar
Stanton Maclay. From these reviews
it appears that this edition is a third
volume of the said history, extended
to include the late war with Spain,
which the two first volumes did not
contain, and were in use as text books
at the naval academy,
"(2) From excerpts quoted in some
reviews, in which the page and para
graphs are given, there is such perver-
SIGN Of facts, misconstruction of inten-
ton, such Incorporate abuse and defa-
nation of myself, which subjects Mr..
Maclay to action in civil suit. While
! admit the right Of fair criticism of
every public officer, l must protest
against the low filings and abusive Ian
guage of this violent partisan oppo-
nent, who has infused into the pages
of his book so much of the malice of
lnfairness as to make it unworthy the
name OF history, or of use in any reput-
able institution of the country
"(3) I have refrained heretofore from
all comment upon the innuendoes of
enemies, muttered or murmured in
secret, and therefore with safety to
themselves. ! think the time has now
come to take such action as may bring
this entire matter under discussion I'M
der the clearer and calmer review of
my brothers in arms, and to this end I
ask such action at the hands of the de-
partment as 1t may deem best to ac-
this purpose,
"(D But I would express the request
in this connection that, whatever the
action may be, it occur in Washington,
where most of my papers and data are
stored.

The practice of using visiting cards

thousands of years. The Chinese New

dental. for its mystic characters set
forth not only the name, but all the ii

man who is anybody at all has a dozen

or of silk, is not retained, but is re-
turned by special messenger, and the
day after New Years the spectacle of
crowds of servants, their arms full of
rolls of paper or cloth, hurrying to and
fro in the streets is too common to
excite remark. They are not on their
way to II school of geography. They
are only returning New Years cards.

The Norsemun's Calendar.

The ancient NOrscmen reckOncd by
winters, and the beginning of their
year was probably dated from the 10th
of October. The festival in honor Of
Thor was held in midwlntcr, about
our Christmas time, and in fact was
the origin of the Christian holiday
merrymaking. We get the names of
at least three, if not four, of the days
of the week from the Morse gods of the
Odin religion. Tuesday is from Tir or
DsS day, on which the offerings to fate
Were made and the courts of justice
held; Wednesday is from Wooden or
Odin, one of the Morse trinity; Thurs
day or Thor's day, from Thor, the
chief of the trinity, and Friday is
from Frigg, another of the minor del
ties of the trinity.

EgyptInn New Year.

The Egyptian year began with the
rising of the star Sirius, and consisted
of 800 days. There were II months
of 30 days each, and at the close of the
year five days were intcrcalatcd. All
reckoning was by this year; the festi-
walls were celebrated by it, and as n
consequence, like the Roman festivals
of later times, circlcd around from one
season to another on account of the
omission from the calendar of the
quarter day. Notwithstanding this
omission the Egyptians seemed to have
known that the addition of quarter
of n day each year was necessary in
order to keep n correct measurement
of time, which they called their $50
thiac cycle.' This cycle was Il period
of 1,4G1 vague or /, AGO true years. and
was called "SOthiac" because Its begin
ming was fixed at a date when the dog
star, known by the Egyptians as So
this, rose with the sun on the 1St
Thoth, which was the commencement
of their year This rising of Sirius and
the sun on the LIST of Thoth took
place in the years b. c. 27S2 and Il. c.

JAPANESE MOCHl MAN.
He Is the Santa Claus of japan and
Appears New Years

Appears on New Years
The great event of the New Year is
the arrival of the mochi man. WHO is Il
tolerably fair substitute for Santa
Claus. His coming is quite as mystic
riOuS also, as no child knows whence
he comes or where he goes. However,
at some hour of the day or night before
the LIST of january he arrives. not with
the jingle of SlcighbcllS or the clattcr
of noisy hOOfS upon the roof, for Il Jap
ancsc house is chimncylrSs. Therefore
the mOchi man is obliged to enter
through th" Shoji paper windows),
which he does so openly and so vaunt-
ingly as to do away with all that fas-
cinating unrrality that in its invcsti-
ture of our king of the holiday rcvcls
Is so precious to the little ones. Never
thClcSS the children 20 to bed at the
appointed hour New Years eve, and
the little bias eyes try to 20 to sleep,
but instead of reaching the Land of
Nod the small people usually arrive
at "Widcawnkcville."
At last the mochi man announces his
presence by dashing Il hcapinS handful
of rice and beans into the face of the
supposed to be sleeping child, and this
is the signal for Il midnight frolic. The
throwing of rice and beans at this hour
and upon this occasion has been con
Sidcrcd from time immcmorial a desire
on the part of the thrOWCr to express
three wishes for the good of the re-
cciVcr. These wishes are respectively
that he may have good luck and hap
pincSS the coming year and that he
may be ut outs" with the oni (dcviD-
far from inappropriate symboliSms to
be woven into New Years greeting.
The mochi man always brings with
him an infcctiouSly CHEEKY confusion
of earthcn cooking stoves and carthCn
vessels to boil mochi in. This tooth
some edible is mixed, boiled, stirred,
cooled and stuffed before the very eyes
of the youngsters, and finally 1t is
evolved into Il glutinous rice cake In
the beginning of its preparation, which
is somewhat complicated, it is worked
about in Il wooden bowl with bam-
boo stick until it looks much like strain
ed honey. All this is aggravatingly
sweet to the nOStrils of the onlookcrS,
who can scarcely wait until the mOchi
man treats them. Meanwhile this pa
tron saint creates much laughter by his
funny antics and bcguilcS the waiting
time with still funnicr stories of New
Years when he was little lad.
