Her eyes that flash. her lips that ilout
May yet turn kind and conjure out

Blowing Cornucopias.

Make two cornucopias of fairly stiff
paper, leaving the small ends large
enough to pass pieces of twine
through. Take two pieces of string,
and slip each piece through one cornu-
copia, stretching them two feet apart
as tight as you can across the room,
fastening the ends to either wall.
The strings should be high enough
from the ground to enable you to blow
into the cornucopia. The object of
the game is for two people = stand at
tho end Of the strings and blew into
the large openings of the cornucopias
and see which one can get it across
the room first.
1t takes person with a good pair
of lungs to send 1t the length OF the
string in one blow.

Hanging Pin-Balls,

These little balls for pins are very
easily made, and are always useful.
Cut from pasteboard twelve round
pieces. You can easily make them by
using a small teacup or round butter
plate, about two inches In diameter.
Cover each piece with silesia or cam
brio and then with silk sew two pieces
together very nicely overland around
the edge. Attach these balls to six
pieces of ribbon of different lengths,

His client, he continued, was man of good character and from every point in the case, which he had carefully con- sidered, he was morally certain his client was innocent of the charge; that he did not ask for mercy, but onlyfjus- tice. The young mans eloquence was not without effect, however, since verdict of mot guilty was given.
 The mans exultation was felt by all throughout the courtroom with the ex- ception of the prisoner, who still sat in the dock in stupefed manner as ii he were glued to his chair.
 The judge said: Johnson, you are free,'' but Johnson made no effort to vacate that chair. His lawyer came over to him and told him: Man have brought you liberty, you are free, but not once did the prisoner move and the lawyers eloquence was once more taxed and he told Johnson again: "You are free; go out and breathe the fresh air; let the sun shine upon you and hear the birds sing, and" ssYes, boss, knows all about the fresh air, the sun and the birds singing but I can't move a step until dat man gets out of here, kaze right dis minute I got his pants on.'

SAILORS IN BOSTON.
Yachting Is One of the Foremost Pleasures and Pastimes of
 the Hub.

gl.
 Who sails boats around Boston? Why, everyone! says w. J. Tender son, in Atlantic. From the Adams Boys" the smartest yacht racers of the east, down to the Marblehead street boy, everyone takes pride in his skill in getting the best work out of some sort of a sailing boat. Those who do not sail talk about it, and on summer day in the drowsy at mosphere of a Boston club, or in the shadow of some tall pile in Washing ton street, you shall hear more rac- ing seanan's lore than anywhere else in this country except on the cruis- ing ground of the Rocking Chair fleet at the Larchmont Yacht club. Boston's claim to be the hub of the universe may be disputed perhaps when you consider the steel industry or the uni1nportant matter of freight tonnage; but when you come to talk about sailing, you must admit that Boston is the greatest yachting port in this country. Even the little chil- dreH there know the history of the America's cup, and the public school boy can sail a dory with a leg-of-mut- ton sail for driving power and an oar for steering gear

Committees Are Working Hard to
 Make the Event a Success.
 Editor Democrat:
 The Supreme High court Of the For esters of America has decreed that sat urday, August 16, be observed as flela day throughout the United States, the object being to have its members anu their friends assemble in some punlic park Or pleasure resort for a day recreation and amusement. The iocal courts of Foresters, with their z,ooo membership, have always observed said field day ill a fitting manner. The general committee, which held it's meet. ing last evening, intends to excel all previous efforts in making the comlnS field day surpass anything ever gwen at the Driving park. The following IS a part of the sporting events which the committee has decided on: One mile bicycle race, prize $20; 1O0-yard dash, S10; running horse race, $15; putting sixteen-pound shot, S9; hop-step-and- jump, SIP, half mile walk, SIP; seventy five yard boys race; fat mems race; 220-yard race $10; the noted jennet race; also race between the American Girl and Shone-Fain, driven by Downey and Moriarty, respectively. In addition to the already extraordinary attractive program, Delegate F. H. McKernon of Court R. +. Phelan created decided sensation at the meeting last night ny stating that he was decidedly in oppo- sition to his brother delegate, Garrett Savers, regarding the relative merits of the much talked of and popular game, ping pong. It appears that MT Savers journeyed across the water recently to attend the coronation of King Edward, but like the rest was disappointed ow- ing to the kings illness. But while abroad he utilized his time attending the ping-pong games played by the crowned heads of Europe. 1t is this apparent, knowledge that MT McKernon takes exception to, by claiming the American people are in the front rank in this game, and that he has a young professional man whom he styles as Judge" who will give this prominent fifth ward traveller cards and spades for a game of ping-pong, to be played at the Foresters' field day. The mat ter created such favorable impression that the sport committee was instructed to immediately take the matter under consideration and report at the next meeting. COMMITTEE.

 It was stated yesterday that MT Madden vii place The Rival in the stud after he races the colt for time. He considers that his breeding is ex- cellent and that he is fine specimen. Mir Madden says he las enough inn ported stock at his farm. and desires to add an American stallion.

HOT MEETING LOOKED FOR.

HOT MEETING IOOhED Il Oh.
 The following article was sent into the Democrat office to-day: There will be a hot meeting of the Greater Water bury Amateur league tonight at the Moonlight Athletic club rooms and all the managers should be present. The Lafayettes and Sunshines game of last Sunday will be brought before the meeting. The rules say: "Any team caught throwing game, and the team it throws it to, will be dropped from the league" and as such was the case last Sunday there is liable to be trou- ble over it. Both these teams are from Brooklyn and it looks as if they were Tagging the rest of the teams The Moonlight and Big Seven game will be brought before the meeting again. The Moonlights won the game and tn Big Seven protested on uln- Dire Brides decision when ne called Reese out for cutting first base. The president of the league, who IS also manager of the Sunshif1es said the Moonlights would have to play the game over or they would be dropped. With this game the Moonlights would be tied for first place and II played over it would put the Sunshines ahead. If such is the case any team can pro- test on a strike and then it goes to a vote and if you have a pull with the manager you might win your game. The games are either won by votes or won twice before they count as the Moonlights have to play the Big Seven twice before the game counts in the standing or get out of the league. The rules allow teams or managers one week to protest and the game was pro- tested July 9th and brought up at the meeting of July Sth and the Moon lights entered a protest with the secre- tary of the league July 10th and 1t will be brought up again tonight at the meeting.

HIS INNOCENT CLIENT.
Young Lawyer Explains Why the Nan Was Afraid to Leave the
 Courtroom

fine first case tried by newly ado mitted member of the bar at Rich mond was that of negro accused of stealing pair of trousers. The limb of the law was much interested by the pitiful story of the alleged culprit, and, believing him innocent, undertook his defense free of charge.
 The prisoner pleaded not guilty and the young lawyer waxed eloquent and told in a very earnest and impressive way just how a man because of his color has little show in the police court.
