LoNG-DRAwN-oUT CONTESTS.

A cricket matsh which will last TWEEN
ty-two years would try even the pa
thence of the enthusiasts who throng
English cricket grounds every summer,
but such game is being steadily
fought out at AvondaIe Park, Calves
ton, England, between two rival elev-
ems, every member of which is over
sixty years of age. 1t was begun eight
years ago, and on the 4th of June every
summer the two teams meet and con-
tinue to play until a single wicket falls,
when stumps are Immediately drawn
until the following summer. The pos
sibility that death may claim some of
the players before the match is over is
Of no account, for the team which can
place the greatest number of survivors
in the field fourteen years hence Is to
be declared the victor.
Equally remarkable was the cricket
match of two years duration, which
was brought to a close not long ago at
Apia, in Samoa. Each side consisted
of hundred players, and as the game
was being played in aid of the building
expenses of the local church, every
batsman was required to put shilling
towards the fund before going to the
wicket, and when bowled he was at lib
erty to go in again on payment of a
similar amount. The financial result OF
! this protracted contest was over fifteen
thousand dollars, sufficient to liquirate
the church debt.H

the sunshine and the glory of the south,
while yet an inherited Puritan strain
calls for a stanchness and strength that
are of the north.
The critics say Hewlett's style is Ia
bored; they little know how readily a
theme or plan is tossed aside if it re-
fuses to march" 1t is dash and JOY

a Jehane. Then look at the way the
right word is invented If it come not at
once; where else than in Hewlett can
you find such a word as Hacking, -
used apparently as a portlnanteau for
waving and tapping?
No, there is nothing labored about the
man, and there is nothing petty about
him. He is a scholar turned novelist,
a Puritan turned pagan; but he has not
yet become a journalist or he would
have turned his Tuscan drive into copy

bert family, who became notorious in
connection with the great safe frauds

one of the family handed a package
containing $4,000 to some people who
lived in the same house with them.

in prison. AS first-class misdemean-
ants they are permitted to have theit
meals sent in from a neighboring res
taurant. They all occupy separate cells,
are carefully watched and are not al
lowed to receive visitors.
The prisoners passed a rather rest
less night, but this morning they SEEM
ed rather more resigned. The women
| were less fearful. A maid servant who
was employed by the Humberts in Ma
drid says that they allowed nobody to
enter their house and started in appre-

assisted in the Homework themselves,
and the men of the party never went
out except at night. .'''.'

Frederic Humbert declares that the

NO SUCH THING AS SACRED
MITSTC


The nonsensical stipulation that Sun
day concerts must not be given for
profit" has now officially been aban-
doned by the licensing committee of the
London County Council. The commit
tee have indeed recognized the fact,
upon which | have already insisted,
that it is quite impossible to enforce
such a regulation. Managers are not
in the least likely to. give concerts at
loss: while, although very little prof
it is to be made out of cheap Sunday
performances, yet the balance must be
on the right side Besides, it would be
easy to manipulate the accounts as to
rent of hall, fee for management, and
| so forth. AS a matter of fact, the
London County Council have no power
whatever to license Sunday concerts at
| ALL All they can do is to refrain from
prosecuting and also to make no OBJ
lection to Sunday performances when
| licensing day comes round The idea
| that Sunday concerts should be limited
| to sacred music" was long since aban-
! doned, although it seems that in GER
| tain quarters the demand is to be re-
newed. AS a mat ter Of fact, there is no
such thing as sacred" music, and
Handel, for example, used his music
unfortunately for the most solemn
oratorios and for Italian love duets.
Sacred words are, of course, altogether
another matter; although, as certain

less, once pointed out, an Old Tesla
ment story, which might be impossible

positions of the draughtsmen on the.
board are then recorded and the game
postponed until death gives the signal
for reopening the tussle. Altogether
nine different players have so far been
concerned in the game.
During the Franco-G German was two
lieutenants in the latter army were en-
joying a game of chess in a French
farmhouse near Thionville, when sud-.
denly shell came through the window,
and, passing between the two players,
scattered the chessmen in all direc-
tions, but without doing either Of the
officers any injury. So miraculous was
their escape that they there and then
vowed to meet on November 2-the
date of the battle-annually at we'll
known restaurant in Berlin and play a
lengthy game, each opponent to have
only one move every alternate year. "
For twenty eight years the game was
continued, but four years ago only. one
of the officers put in an appearance on
the day appointed, and, having waited
for the rival for some time, he called
"Stalemate!" and packing up the
chessmen left the place, knowing his
comrade was dead.
In the same way game of chess has
been in progress between the chess club
of Malvern, Texas, and that of Richie
vile, a small town in the south of
France, for the last ten years, and may
be said to have only just begun. Each
club is allowed one move, which is
flashed by cable between the two con-
tinents every alternate year on Christ
mas day, and as both clubs are we'll
matched there Is every prospect of the
game being left for the next genera
ton to decide.
The most remarkable game on rec
| ord, however, has been in progress for
over a hundred years. In 1893 Count
! Francis of Bourbon, who was noted for
his skill at chess, made a wager with
an aristocratic rival that he would
| bebeat him at six games running. one
,, to be played on the anniversary of the
birthday every year. If he did moi
live to carry out his boast his descend
ants would do it for him, the money tc
be the reward of the side which ac-
complished the feat. Although the
struggle has been drawn out to such ar
| unexpected length, there is every pros
pect of its being shortly terminated
and the prize, which has vastly in
creased in value won, for last year tht

THE MIDDLE AGE OF THE MAN
OF LETTERS.

The first thing that strikes you about
Maurice Hewlett is that he has
one wicked eye and one sanity one;
though, perhaps, the effect is due
rather to a power of raising one eye
brow into an arch of quaint amuse-
ment, and lowering the other at the
Same time to straight line of sCorn-
full disapproval. Start a discussion on
Giotto and Duccio, or any other sub
iect of which Hewlett knows something
and you know nothing, and his ex-
pressiVe face Is well worth watching.
Better not wait for his words, though,
unless you are a perfervid fighter; for
Hewlett can be a bit brutal with his
tongue as with his pen. And yet what
a stanch friend and refreshing COM
panion he is-given his moods! Man-o
letters, lecturer and barrster he start
ed out to be; it was books and study
all the time-save when the autumn
winds enticed him to tramp the En-
glish woods, or the Tuscan sunshine
lured him to leisure beneath the vines.
But these very serious students in early
life generally grow younger as their
years increase; and Hewlett at forty
is becoming so frivolous that at fifty

sixty will play "Gren Gravel" He is

The assertion that Charles Dickens
vivid descriptions of the "Old Curiosity
Shop was taken from life is undoubt-
ed true. How many readers of this
book, who are interested in quaint and
ancient things, have felt that they
would like to delve into the "Old Curl
osity Shops hidden corners and look
for long forgotten curios; also to exam
inc the contents Of the shelves and
counters, some of which are covered
with the dust of years. The very at
mosphere of such a place seems to hold
the attention of visitor and bring him
to an apprecia ton of the fact that he is
standing in the midst Of surroundings
of another age. Now while the store
of Il. 3. Mallory located ct 141 Orange
street, in this city, is thoroughly up-to-
date, a visitor who will examine the
wares displayed will find much that is
quaint and beautiful.
Mr. Mallory carries one of the finest
lines of antique goods in the state and
all connoisseurs should pay him an I'M
mediate visit, get his very reasonable
prices and make their Christmas selec-
lions. Old goods are like old friends
they have been used and their value in
creases with age. Mr.. Mallory is also
an auctioneer and appraiser. He makes
a speciality of family sales.
