N1r. Man1ce EGausesey dispute by Car
~rying His Wife's Clubs.
The brilliant victory Of Mrs. Manice, who
won the Metropolitan golf championship
s hands down by Z up and 6 ito play. has un-
.doubtedly engendered some bitterness of
spirit and acrimony Of discussion.
: The delicate point at issue is whether the
new champions husband Should have caddied
for her. Public opinion is by no means a
unit, and the most eminent sporting authori-
ties are widely at. variance - -
Those extremists who incline to the theory
that man, considered in. the abstract, is abb
solutely no good, and that woman Is a ,su-
perior, but Invariably long suffering and
neglected being, have viewed with stern ap-
proval the spectacle Of the new champion s
husband loaded down with golf sticks, stag
gering weakly in her wake as she swiped the
ball far, and accurately. -. ~ =, -. l.. =
Upon the other hand, the spinster who was
her competitor in the final round upon the
Jersey links, playing modestly and }coolly,
with only the ordinary freckled small boy
caddy at her side, aroused the sympathy and
admiration Of the married men. ~, - ~,

FAMOUS TRACK SOLD
Rigby Park at Portland to Become
Railroad Yard.

Rfgby Park, the famous track at Port
land, Me-, over which John R. Gentry
placed the worlds record for PAGERS at
2:00A, and Nelson, the trotting record
for stations at 2:09, has been sold, and
will be used hereafter as railroad
freight yard. Few faster tracks have
been constructed than this one, located
on a piece of marsh land, but.it was not
managed with the best of Judgment, and
consequently lost money in the long run.
It is to be regretted that the track had to
be abandoned, for 1t was located in q
section Of country where harness racing
Is popular, and where good support was
given it 80 far as attendance was con.
cerned.

HORSES OF PROMISE
Charlie Nc and the Monk Are Show.
a. ing Rare Form -..

ing Rare Form.
The trotter, Charley Nc, 7:11A, b.
Mckinney, that raced in the grand circuit
very successfully last year. trotted
mile over the Overland Park track at
Denver, Col, a few days ago In $40.
which is, with the exception, of Cresceus'
mile In 2:08, the fastest mile ever trotted
over that track. Dave Raybould, OF Lord
Clinton fame, has Charley Nc In his
stable, and unless all signs fail he will
be prominent on the grand circuit tracks
with him this season.
The Monk Seems to be In rare form this
spring. Mr.. Geers recently drove him a
mile in 2:0s1a, and the indications are
that he will be pretty close to the 2:05
mark before this seasons campaign closes.
Shadow Chimes has also worked mile
in 2:0S1s, and the two green PAGERS. Di-
rect Hal and Dandy Chimes, nave been q
mile in company in 2:081S.

!Husting the widest.

Pete Husting, Of the Athletics, has been
the widest in his slab work among the
twirlers Of the American League, having
passed ffty-two opponents to first, made
three wild pitches and hit seven men in six
teen games -.
J Cy =Young's work on the rubber has been
the most consistent this season. He has
given only twenty-five bases on balls, three
wild pitches, hit seven men and has struck
out seventy-eight in nineteen games.

THE cHILD's CALL.

Ke calls with quick, insistent cry.
He calls at work or play.
And l must put my business by,
And all my books away.
He summons me from household cares.
Back to his sunny room.
And up the stairs and up the stairs
In happy haste 1 come.
Sweeter than lark and mavis dear,
And nightingales in May.
The little voice so shrill and clear
That 1 must yet obey.
While up the stairs and to the door
My heart runs on in glee.
1 hear a voice / knew of yore
That never calls for me.
Ever through shadow time and sun
1 hear a baby call.
That is not you, my precious one,
That is not you at all.
Afar, where heavenly waters flow,
Mid Paradisal calms,
All on a sward where lilies blow
The shepherd counts. his lambs
Afar. beyond the wintry cold
Upon the heavenly HILL
A little lamb a few weeks old
Bleats for his mother still
o mothers love and mothers joy,
But while 1 come in haste,
I hear another lovely boy
Cry from the lonely past.
And while l kiss your curls aside
And hold you to my breast,
l kiss the little boy that died,
That will not let me rest.

School for Cats.

This school does not exist in fairy.
land, but in the midst OF the city OF
Paris.
Prof. Bonnetty is very fond of cats
and has started a school for them.
His pupils are generally stray cats
that no one wants. He takes them,
keeps them in large room, and feeds
them well.
he does not Immediately begin to
teach them, but wathes them to form
some idea of their character
He feeds them on bread and milk
and liver. 1t is surprising to see how
the most miserable, starved-looking
cat under his good treatment turns
into a beautiful. sleek pussy fit for
any lady's drawing room.
These cats are taught to jump
through hoops, over chairs, climb
ropes, etc. All these lessons are
taught by kindness. Prof Bonnetty
never has to punish his pupils. He
depends on their affection and can 40

All the Men Are Princes.

There are about 10000 people scat.
tered over the twenty-odd rocks or
islets which constitute the Force
group, between the Shetlands and
Iceland. Every man in the country
is in some way the descendant of a
king-that is, Morse sea-kings, who
fed to the islands in the ninth cen.
tury and peopled them.
In spite of his home-spuns, his turf
hut, and his primitive life, every good
Foroese is conscious and proud of
his ancestry, and he bears himself
like prince. He has no newspapers
or social problems; but he knows the
history of his island home, and he is
a constant reader of books, mostly
Danish. His literary taste is inferior
only to that of the Icelsnders, who
for 1000 years have raised and main
tanned an ideal national literature of
merit.

which confines its activity to the vi
cinity of Georges. There is plenty of
the picturesque to be found could one
but spend the time on any one of the
vessels which at the end of the sea
son make port at Gloucester, Boston,
New Bedford, or any of the towns
which in the old days sent larger
numbers of this class of vessels than
in recent times.
The early morning haul has more
about it, perhaps, to attract the lover
of the beautiful, for the sight is beau
tiful beyond the power of pen or brush
to properly describe.
With nets dripping sparkling gems
of rainbow hues under the morning
sun, with thousands of mackerel, their
bodies of blue black and silver re-
fecting the light, enmeshed in their
watery prison. endeavoring in vain
to get free from the bonds that are
drawn closer and closer, a sight is
furnished not soon to be forgotten
Sometimes it happens that before
the net is drawn the fish become
frightened, and in a mad rush for
freedom overturn men and dories, and
carry away net and gear with them
Then it is that the profits of a trip
are materially cut down.
