Drebbel took the thread Of his studies and soon
his wonderful boat appeared on the Thames The
secret OF its construction was carefully guarded
II IS certain, however, that it was propelled hv

In fact, we can only call to mind two important
sides of Manx life with which Lord Raglan as
Governor will be connected as overlord and su-

CITY LEAGUE OPENS TODAY
 WITH FASTEST KIND OF BALL
Game Between Falcons and Independents Will Probably Attract an Enormous Aggre-
 gatiOn of ROOterS.

More suspicious probably than any thing that ever happened in the baseball line in Montgomery win be the inaugu- ral game of the new City League at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The two teams will go out to the ground in tally-hos, twill be ten minutes practice for the Falcons and the same for the Indepen- dents, a short address by the President of the League, Mayor Joseph will toss the first ball over the plate, Ed Mahoney will whisper play ball'--and the first game will have commenced.
 The infield is as clean and hard as a billiard table. scrapers and rollers yes- terday. putting it in perfect condition. and the fielding will have to be lightning to prevent a short infield hit from being stretched. The grass in the outfield has been cut out as has been the foul lines back of first and third bases and the pat rons of the game will be able to see and follow every movement of the ball.
 The seats in the grandstand have been put in perfect order and the wire netting repaired. so that ladies will be as safe and comfortable as it Is possible to make them. There will be no charge for ladies at all and they will be welcomed whether with or without escorts-and in this con- nection it can be stated that smoking will not be allowed in the grandstand, the smokers stand having been built for that purpose. No vehicles will be allowed in the field and they cannot go beyond the ropes or fence back of the colored b1eachers near the carriage gate. Be- tween the Dleachers and grandstand has been erected substantial stand for the benefit of the Infirmary Aid Society which society has the refreshment privi- lege for the season.
