 .HFz WE'RE at Forest Lake for a w six weeks outing, Hattie and I, and I was really enjoying myself, though there were some unpleasant conditions.
 You see, Hattie and I were reared in the same village Our people were re- spectable, though hot rich, and we, went to Chicago fto make our living soon after graduating from the high school. Hattie was a stenographer, bookkeeper. We had positions in the same establishment and we roomed to- gether. We had admirers, fof course, for we were by flo means i'll looking. Many people bought was sHe pFet-s tiest. Most ofaour callers were young. men in no position to 1harrys.so there could be nothing Serious iii their inten- tions. One. however, was different from the others. He was a plumber, past fifty, and not very we'll preserved. His name was Hiram Mason.
 I am sure his calls were at first in- tended for me, but did not encourage him, Sd he turned to Hattie. He pro- posed to her in a week, was accepted, and in another month they were mar

 There is hitch in the proposed match between Young Corbett and Kid Parker both of Denver. The two were to have met in ten-round bout ill Denver, but some disagreement has cropped up regarding the question of weight. Parker insists on 135 pounds at o'clock, while COrbett is holding out for 133 pounds at 6 o'clock. Par ker is willing to split the difference and make it 134 pounds, weight in at 4:30 o'clock.

WITH THEa4oRsEs.
Some More Good Driving at Charter
 Oak Park Yesterday.

Hartford, Sept 7.-The famous Char ter Oak stake, of S1O,OOO, which this year was for trotters eligible to the 2:13 class at time of entry, was the feature of yesterdays circuit racing. The great 4-year-old lilly Eleata easily proved herself the best of the high class field of twelve starters. She was so highly considered that in the pool selling before the race she always sold first choice. at even money or better over the field. A break going away for the mile cost her the heat, but the following three heats were won in hand. The field wasssent away prompt ly on the first score to an even start. Belle Kusee had the pole, with the ia yorite in next to outside position. Just at the turn Eleata broke and dfSpned back, while ConsueIa $. took the lead, followed by Metallhs and Dolly Hd- well. Metallas broke after pasSing 8he quarter and Dolly Bidwell rushina 10 the front. led the field home an e1sy winner in 2:11. N z EI
 In the second heat Dolly Bidwell led t0 the stretch, with Eleata second. Here the 4-year-old went to the front and, outstepping the former heat win ner from the seventh furlong home, won by good length in 2:09. The re- maining heats were taken quite handi- ly by the Dexter Prince lilly after lead ing all the way. Dolly Bidwel1 was quite lame after the second heat and Alan beat the others in drive for sec ond place. Under the conditions of the race. by which the winner of each heat received $1.000, the balance of the money to be divided in the usual way, Eleata won $6,000 and Dolly BidweIl S2.50O. Eleata has suffered but a sim gle defeat. That was in the Massachu- setts stake at Readville, when she was beaten by Onward Silver.
 Matin Bells captured the 2:11 pace in splendid style and in straight heats. She is slow beginner and each time was outfooted the first part, but she had so much speed at the finish that the others could not give her an argu- ment through the stretch. She re duced her record of 2:0S34, made at Providence. to 2:065k. in the second heat. After Leola, favorite at S1OO to S75 for the 2:25 trof. had been laid up for one .heat, she went on and secused the money in easy fashion. making new record of 2:13H. There were but two horses in the 2:27 pace that had a chance. Frasier and Terrace Queen. The latter, a fiet but tiring-gaited mare, sailed away so fast the first heat that nothing could get near her. She finished away off in 2:09N. Nc Henry went after her the second heat with Frazier and, catching her in the stretch, had her thoroughly beaten in short order The remaining heats were merely q jog for Frazier, a newcomer to the 2:1O list.

 Bert Dorman, who is now. in Eng land has written to the London Mirror of Life to the effect that Harry Lyons can have a match with Artie Simms. Al Herford, Lyons's manager, recently sent def to the English paper stating that Lyons was prepared to clash with any lightweight abroad.
 The. attachment which Tom O'Rourke placed on George Dixon's share of the receipts in his contest with Young Corbett in Denver the other night has been raised. After the battle o O'Rourke, through his represent atiye in Denver. sued for $500. Dixon compromised by sending O'Rourke $1OO Divon, according to O'Rourke, still owes his ex-manager $2,2O0.
 Tom sCouhig, the Buffalo welter- weight, seems to be very much in de- mand just now tHe has received an offer to meet either Matty Matthews. Patsy Sweeney or George McFadden before the Toronto A. 0. Couliig has signed articles already to meet any of the above-named pugilists. Tn all like 1ihood he will take on George McFad- den.
 Nick Burley. the California middle weight who has been a trial horse for most of the noted pugilists in his class, has done very we'll financially since he went to the gold country. According to letter received in New York from Burley, who is now at Cape Nome, the Californian has made 5000 since he began fighting in the Klondike.
 The latest sensation in pugilism was sprung last week in St Louis. Two Chinamen, Lung Bow and Leo Fee, made their appearance in the prize ring. This is the first instance on rec ord of two Chinamen in the United State fighting for money and glory under. Marquis of Queensberry rules. The bout was slashed and resulted in q draw.

1EEFRIEs AND RuHLIN.

Both Jeffries and Ruhlin have plan ned short interstate campaigns for the purpose of picking up few stray dol lars before the time comes for the contest in November. Both men are to take on heavy second-raters for q few rounds so that the public may see them in action before the champion ship mill-cpmes off. >Thesayerage vic tfiIT is Eelucta1t Ito accept the terms made by Delaney and Madden, and the result is that few matches have been arranged as yet.

 Perhaps Jeffries desires to earn his $2 300 forfeit. At the same time, the spectacle of two heavyweights match ed for championship battle touring the country in limited bouts is singular to say the least.

POLO GETS A START.
An Informal Meeting in Boston al

An Informal Meeting in Boston at
 Which Schemes Were Broached.
 A meting of some of the magnates of the Southeastern Polo league was held Thursday evening in Boston to talk over the possibilities of the com ing season.
 1t was decided to have an eight-club league. Applications were received from parties representing Lowell and South Birmingham, and q committee was appointed-th committee consist ing of the secretary, MT Upton-to visit these places and look over the lay of the land. He will start on his merry task to-day. aT s&=
 South Birmingham has a good place in which to play-the armory. The idea is to refit it with seats. get the balcony in shape, place seats on the stage and otherwise get.ready for busi- ness. There seems to be feeling iii the town, and has been since last sea- son, that South Birmingham is good for polo, and wants It. Sagit
 Lowell' seems to hang in the balance between Fred Doe and Carroll of Sa- lem. Carroll has always had strong supporters in the Southeastern, and it lis 2 reasonably good bet that he gets the town. It is regarded as unlikely that there. will be. any polo in Salem this season. A. new theater has been erected there. and they don't want the competition of. polosin the town; so there iss.a move on to provide Carroll with backing, and get him out of Sa4 lem and intos Low q Az. se.'sss
 It, is now considered likely that the teams in the lea que tas season will be Lowell, Clinton, BYoekton Lewiston, Portland, Lawrence Plymouth and South Framinghanf. ~
 The backers ofsthe present Plymouth team were approached recently to see if they would sell out their business, but they declared themselves in favor of staying in the game.
 It is understood that w. A. Parsons has scheme on foot to locate Tom Cotter in Manchester with team, but Cotter it is said prefers to paddle his own canoe, and doesan not care to act as the tail of Parsons' kite.
 Nothing could be learned at the meet ing to show that there would be either a national or Maine league the com- ing season. s e s.Xt .9
 The formal meeting of the. South eastern league will sbe held next week.
 At last nights informal meeting nothing at all was heard from Rock land in regard to new rink or team from that place. ada

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure. That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch- ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also asafe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for all itch- ing diseases of the skin.

 A sad good bye to New London who has been our close companion for so to defeat Norwich was so rudely shat tered. Yet she is not the only one to mourn.
 There is an interesting rumor afioat about the town that Tom Tucker and Jacob Linicus are to have the baseball franchise next year and that they had already secured the baseball field. Manager Shea professed to know noth- ing about the matter and it can be talk en like other rumors. at the readers own valuation. As regards the report of Tucker getting through with the team is concerned Manager Shea knew nothing this morning. He said that he expected Tucker to play this after noon as usual-New London Day.
 A long and last farewell in all prob ability to Derby, who started off like a race horse but ended up like aplug that has been turned out to die.' Even now the other clubs are, shouting in unison "Neyermore." Derby has had her day and now let her rest in peace.
 All up with a word of praise for Manager George Harrington and the Waterbury players who for the past few weeks have struggled so manfully to get out of the rut into which they had fallen. They made gallant fight against big odds and while they lost they have nothing to be ashamed of. They will make amends for everything next season.
 At Buffalo Monday Umpire J. J. Kel- ley made a spectacle. It happened in the third inning of the first game. Hooker threw low ball. It struck the ground in front of the plate. There was no necessity for Speer to take chances with the ball. He allowed it to pass him. The ball went by Speer and struck Kelley in the shins. Kelley was so angry that he grabbed his chest pLOlcILOI MIln DOlll 0duuS. 11c 1lIl6u it up and slammed it at Speer. It struck the kids back and boundai back.

 An account from Worcester is to tha effect that there is a&waf 0ff. betsveeA the Eastern and National leagues, the result of an alleged attempt by the Boston National league club to get Rickert, the Worcester left fielder. Boston. the report says, has been anx- 1ous for some time to get Rickert. and q proposition was made to the Boston people, but they after backing and filling, tried other methods, and 1t is said tried to induce Rickert to jump the Worcester team. President Hur- ley of Worcester was indignant and in- formed Billings of Boston that he had opened negotiations for Pittenger, Moran, De Montreville and Kittridge of the BOstons. There has been talk of pact between the minor leagues and the American since the announced intention of the National to suspend the National agreement. and the Bos- ton Worcester affair has made it stronger.
