McGraw has released Henry Reitz, the second baseman, to the Chicago club.
 Manager Shettsline of the Philadel- phia club yesterday released Pitcher Jack Dunn, formerly of Brooklyn, and Catcher Morgan Murphy.
 Billy Moore of St Louis writes that he will fight Patsy Sweeney at the Sampson A. 0. of Aliddletown, Conn, within two weeks for a purse Bob Bruce, matchmaker of the club, says that he will agree to bring the pair together
 Charley Buss will be found behind the bat in Bridgeport this season, Man ager O'Rourke needed a catcher, and as Manager Connor had a surplus for that position he let Charley go down | to his friend Jim. Buss is a corking good catcher and ought to make good down in Bridgeport
 Our young friend Eddie Mann did pretty good work against the Bristol base ball team yesterday. He was ] touched up for only ten hits and at 1 that might have held the Bristols bet | ter had he been supported He also used the stock we'll, getting two bag ger and three bagger off the Bristol man. s
 In a letter to friend "Parson'' | Davies, the well-known sporting man | writes that if nothing goes amiss box ing is to be resumed at New Orleans before September. The "Parson'' ex- poets that the old Olympia A. C., where Jim Corbett defeated John L. Sullivan for the heavyweight title, will be re-opened.
 Joe Herndon arrived here this after. noon and now every player signed by Manager Connor whom he expected to report is on hand. Of course there will be some wedding out to be done but it is more than likely that every man here will be placed in some team in this league. All the men in Water bury are good ones and it will be hard to pick those who must be sent else. where.
 In list of minor leagues affiliated with the National league, issued from headquarters yesterday, the name ot the Eastern league is conspicuous by its absence. When asked whether the Eastern had kicked over the traces President Young said: ..The Eastern league is omitted from the list because the protection fee has not been paid have no idea. however. that the East ern has deserted the National agree ment. President Powers is d little slow in remitting, that's all.''
 Pete Kiernan has retired from manual labor for the summer season During the winter he grinds metals of I various kinds. In the summer he kills safe hits, smashes out lines, gathers in flies and holds stray fouls. There Is considerable diversity in the warm weather job and it affords great deal of entertainment for a large number of people. Our old friend is sure of g warm welcome when he comes tc Bridgeport for the first time this sea son.-Bridgeport Post.

THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE.

dence Telegram. The carriage was
capable of a speed of Is miles an
hour, but was hardly practical. as
enough fuel could not be carried to
run it for any great distance. This
was, of course, before the days of
gasoline as fuel, and the big boiler,
which was made to register 100
pounds of steam, required consider
able coal and water. The coal was
stored under the seat of the vehicle,
and made the carriage very heavy.
Mr.. Manton used the carriage for a
few months, long enough to satisfy
his friends that horseless carriage
was n possibility.
Differential gears were used on the
rear wheels, and the speed levers and
brake were similar to those now used
in the modern vehicles.
The carriage was easily handled,
and the real drawback was the in
surmountable fuel arrangements,
which precluded the carriage from
being practical for everyday use.

In a recent book of Spanish travel
Spanish Highways and Byways"-
the writer speaks approximately Of
the courtesy extended to her at a
time when the remembrances of the
war between her own country and
Spain were still recent and acute.
No insults were offered her, nor
even rude word uttered against her.
On the contrary, she was the recipi-
ent of constant courtesies and kind
nesses, and sometimes a solicitude
for her comfort and welfare was dis
played which embarrassed her.
At San Lucar pleasing incident
occurred. She entered small shop
to make a necessary purchase. The
proprietor declined to sell, deeming
his wares unsuited to her require
ments, and babe his son conduct her
to a more fashionable store.
He had guided her thither, as well
as to more important points of inter-
est, and on her proffering requital
in money, he bowed with smiling
ease and said: 81 do not take pay for
pleasure, madam"

BICYCLE IN HISTORY.
what Future Generations wou1d
Think of the wheel 1t 1t Should
Really and Truly Pass.

Inspired by the renewed activity in
the League of American Wheelmen,
the Jersey City News has this to say
of the future of the bicycle:
The history of the bicycle reads
like fairy tale. Ten thousand years
hence the plainest statement of the
facts of its origin, development, uses
it serves, and the place it occupies in
our civilization viii be regarded by
the scholars of that time we of to-
day regard Plato's story of Atlantis
or the fable of Deucalion. That men
and women could sit balanced on a
wheel of wire, braced and corded like
a spiders circular miracle which it
fashions in the witching hours of
night, and on it sitting, outrun the
horse, outspeed the dog and go flying
down wooded lanes with the flight of
a bird, will be 'reckoned as a myth
that haunts the Imagination and
laughs at the guessing of the wise.
What, for improbability, can equal
this strange and weird creation OF
mans inyentiveness? Or what SO
elusively mock human belief when
once it has passed into oblivion and
losing all record as fact has become
merely vague tradition?
And if amid the ruins of some old
library fragment of a manuscript
should be discovered which told how
it was used by rich and poor alike
how it was adopted into armies, add
ed to the splendor of great public
pageants, obliterated castles so thai
princes and peasants rode side by
side in public parks, contributing tc
popular health and happiness beyond
any other single invention of the
world, what wonder and astonish
ment that old-time long buried docu
ment would cause among the the1
existing peoples on the earthi
