Amateur Baseball Players.

The Twentieth Century team defeated
the Tanglewoods yesterday on the Monu-
ment Lot in a one-sided and uninteresting
game by score of Is to T. The feature
of the game was the pitching of the
twirler for the winning team. He served
up outshoots and drop curves which the
1anglewoods could not get line on, and
had them completely to the bad. Byram,
who tossed the leather for the losers. was
hit early and often. Two-baggers and
singles were too numerous to keep tab OF.
The Twentieth Centuries would like to
hear from all teams averaging fourteen
years. Address challenges to Richard Nc
Mahon, I75i Pennsylvania Avenue north
west.
The Executives defeated the Sammy
Dungans on Monday in seven innings by
to 4. The winners. who were formerly
known as the Swampoodle Stars, won the
game through the kindness of Rightfielder
Will Nuhn, who had a record breaking
error column, making six mispays and
striking out five times. The Executives

piece-The Staging

charles Astor Parker representing the
Neill Company says of the coming thea
trical season.,
THE sale of subscription tickets for
the coming engagement, beginning next
Saturday evening, of James NELL and
the famous Nell Company, will close
at wall, Nichols and Companys next
Tuesday after which the sale for the
Individual nights will commence Mr..
NELL will bring his company to Homo
lulu during the coming engagement
with the greatest array of fine actors,
actresses and plays that any dramatic
organization ever offered in the history
OF the native state. The season will
include twelve performances and during
that time twelve different plays will be
presented. Each of these plays are of
the highest type of their particular kind
and it goes without saying that each
will be given in that faultless manner
so characteristic of NELL productions.
THE opera house stage is already
loaded with much of the special scenery
that is to be used for the NELL presen-
tations but there is still another car
load of special paraphernalia to come
down on the Alameda. when the COM
pany is due to arrive also a week from
today.
IAN of the scenery for the opening
play Barbara Frietchie" is now here.
This drama of the war of the rebellion
is from the pen of Clyde Fitch and is
counted the most successful drama now
upon the stage. 1t was played by Mr.
Neill thirty four times recently i'm San
Francisco. The fashion and social brill
liancy of Honolulu are arranging to be
present on the opening night to well
come the Neills."

Slow Railroads In Porto Rico.

There is great opportunity in Porto
Rico for the railroad promoter" said
d. G. Jennings, civil engineer re-
Gently returned from that island.
There are at present only 1873 miles
of railroad there-S2 miles along the
northern coast, "a miles along the
western coast and % miles on the
southwestern border. That mileage
is exclusive of an 11-mile narrow
gauge road and six miles of tramroad.
'All of the vast interior and the
entire eastern portion of the island are
without railroad communication with
any place, and if the wagon roads
within that area are like the stage
route connecting Hormigueros, the
southern terminus of the Aguadilla &,
Hormigueros railroad, with Yauco, the
western terminus of the Yauco &
Ponce railroad travel on them must
be something that the stranger is like
ly to remember until he gets to be
very, very old.
THE gap between those two rail-
roads is 20 miles, and the stage coach
rushes the traveller across it in from
S to 10 hours. The average rate of
speed on the Porto Rico railroads
is 12 miles an hour. New York

they write down on their lists the
names of the people they believe the
pictures to represent The most cor
rect list wins the prize.
Quite the latest idea Is to have
race book. Instead of the now old
fashioned album, in which ones
friends were worried to do something,
well bound sketch book is chosen.
In it you get your friends each to
draw head of some sort-girl, man,
child or animal 1t does not matter
if they cannot draw at all; they must
do their best, and the attempts of the
non artistic often prove the most
amusing. They should, OF course
sign their names to the pictures, al
though some will probably refuse to dc
so. The collection when finished is
usually most interesting, exceedingly
comic attempts being interspersed with
the probably charming sketches oi
ones artistic friends.-The Lady.
