Pine-Pong in the Study.

A member Of a New York
church, famous for its modern
ideas, called at the residence Of
his pastor the other evening. The
maid who took his card returned
in few minutes and said: "Mr.
Blank is very sorry and would
you call again. He is very busy
with one OF his vestrymen." The
caller took his hat and went out.
AS he passed the dooor Of the
minister's study at one side Of the
hall he heard familiar sound
from within-and all that he
could make out OF that sound was
a semi-metallic uttterance Of the
two words; "Ping-pong."

in these words:

enemy Of your country. Remember,

The first house to fall was the old
place used by the Hessians as an
armory and barracks. General Wash
ington took his position on the high
ground which is now Trenton avenue,
whence he had fine view of the
fighting.
The hero of the battle was General
Mercer, who. wounded and sore, was
urging his men from the back of his
white horse. where he was felled by
a blow from British soldier. He was
surrounded.
Call for quarter, you d---d rebel"

The battle of Trenton was fought
again recently in mimicry on the old
battlefield. and the glory Of the pa
trlot soldiers of George Washington
was sounded in the crash of musketry
and cannon. the blare of brass bands,
the uproar of human voices and the
cadences of fine oratory.
The feature of the day was unques-
tionably the sham battle, which was a
facsimile. so to speak, of the real bat
tie of a century and a quarter ago.
Three mimic forces were In the field.
They were those of General Washing
ton and of General Sullivan and the
Hessians. The original battle-ground
was gone over and every care was
exercised to make the sham battle
as realistic and as historically ac-
curate as possible.
Excellent judges who were present
said that history was re-enacted with
remarkable fidelity as to the DISPOSE
tion Of the troops. the firing, the losses
on both sides. and the subsequent ma
chinery OF the action. There was one
exception, however. to this precise
realism. Tn, American troops in this
mimic battle did not suffer the pain
endured by their ancestors because of
insufficient clothing and protection
from the cold.
Down near the monument the first
shots were fired Then the battle
ragged for an hour through Broad and
Warren streets. Colonel Gilmore of
the Second New Jersey National
Guard was in command of the Hes
SLAMS. These troops steadily retreat
ed before the American army. but
halted now and again TO fire volley
at the Yankees. The surrender took
place at two points, first in front OF
the postofiice in East State street, and
again in South Broad street.
In the afternoon a memorial meet
ing. at which Governor Voorhees,
presided. was held in the opera house.
