CENTURY OF PATENT ISSUES.
Beginning July 3I, 1790, the, Number Granted in This Country Has
 Been 42S.62l

The census bureau lately issued a report dealing with the cooperative relation of patented inventions to manufactures, which shows that New York, though third in population and patent rank for the first decade of the 100 years has since been first in both, as well as manufactures. It is an interesting fact, in considering the list of states presented in the report, that the manufacturing rank of state as rule approximates it's patent rank, says the New York Sun. The report says:
 The first patent granted by the general government was to Samuel Hopkins, July 31, 179o, for an inn provement in pot and pearl ash manufacture. The last patent grant ed for the year 1889, at the close of the first 100 years of patent issues, was to Wilhelm Dreyer, December 31, 1889, for an electromagnetic typesetting machine. These two pat ents are suggestively symbolical of the progress of the century in in- vention and manufactures-th first akin to the primitive industries of new country and the last serving the exacting demands of a highly orr ganized industrial system. The total number of patents issued during this century of invention was 42s, ,621.n
 A feature of the report is the steady growth shown in the number of patents granted to citizens of for eign countries.

CITY LEAGUE MEETING
Preparations Being Made for Big Field
 Day and Match Game.

The managers of the City Amateur league held a meeting at the St Jos ephs' rooms last evening, and While the meeting lasted it was quite inter esting. Some of the managers wanted the game scheduled for next sunday, 10 be played on the following Saturday or Sunday, either on the Athletic field or the Driving park. Manager Madden of the Brooklyn Athletic club insisted That the game should be played Sun- Hay and on the Riverside grounds. The game was originally scheduled for that place and he proposed to SUCK 70 the schedule. The matter was hnalIy leIC in that way and the Brooklyns and Pastimes will play on Riverside grounds Sunday afternoon. No other game will be played in the league. Should the Pastimes win the Brook lyns and the PastimeS will be tied for first place. Should the Brook1yns win they have been challenged to play the following Saturday or Sunday for $l0O a side, and this game will probably be arranged in case the Brooklyns are VIC torious The challengers are the Washington Hills.
 If the Brooklyns and Pastimes wind up Sunday in tie then they will meet for the big field day of the league. In any case the league WILL Wluu up q FCAy successful season with one grand day, and if the Brooklyns and the Washing ton Hills meet they will not only play for the $100 side but also for their share of the money in the treasury. In all probability Kiely of Naugatuck will umpire the game Sunday afternoon. The field will be roped off and the game will not be allowed to go on while one spectator is inside the ropes. Every thing will be done to protect the spec tators and the ball players, and it will be one of the warmest games of the season. It is reported that each team will be strengthened by the addition of players from the other teams in the league and this will make the game all the warmer.

WITH THE WRESTLERS
John Fleming Has a Tussle With Billy
 Edwards.

V
 John Fleming, the Butcher Boy," who is meeting all corners at the Star theater Brooklyn, this week, was com pe1led to utilize all his skill and strength in a fifteen minute bout under Graeco- Roman rules against Billy Ed wards of Harlem last night. Edwards was the first to go down, but although John applied hold after hold he failed to dislodge Edwards. After the nrst five minutes Edwards began to show signs of fatigue, but he pluckily held hls ground Although the skin of both his elbows was grazed and he was bleeding from the nose, Edwards was gritty and would not yield. Finally at the thirteenth minute, in burst of un- expected speed, Piening corralled Ed wards's left arm for q firm hammer lock and threw his man. The time was 13 minutes and p seconds. An ton Hess. a big German from New York, tackled Piening in the afternoon. Hess came to grief in exactly 10 min utes.

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Willie Lewis Masters Mosey King in
 Last Round

| v
 New Britain, Sept 26.-Willie Lewis of New York knocked out Mosey King of New London in two minutes and forty seconds of the twentieth round, before the National Athletic club, last night. The men fought at I33 pounds, The fight belonged to Lewis from the start, although King showed some good points at times. Lewis did his best work with his left. King was all but out in the eleventh round. The count followed by the gong saved him. From the seventeenth round on King took count atsevery opportunity, taking it four times in the nineteenth round. It was the best bout that has been put on here this season. When Lewis was declared the winner he rushed forward, embraced King and kissed him on the cheeks.
 Tn the preliminary bouts Gid Gleason of New Britain and Pete Drago of Hartford were to fight eight rounds. Drago was substituted for Jimmy Mad den, who had sprained thumb. Glea- son won in the second round, putting Drago out with a blow over the heart. In the second preliminary Shorty Cans of Hartford knocked out Harry Duffy of Springfield, Mass, in two minutes of the first round. Duffy showed the 1 most science, but he did not have the strength of Cans. Cans just simply drove right through his guard and laid him out Dick Howell of Bridgeport was the referee.
 The fight was held in the Casino with about 1000 people present It is the first time this season the crowd went 1 away satisfied. During the intermis- sion Jerry Maher of Hartford chaI lenged> anybody in the state at 11S to PA pounds. Fred Miller of Middle town accepted the challenge.

 While it was officially announced that no action had been taken against the American league, it was admitted that the proposition of peace or war had been talked of and that a major ity of the magnates favored war to the bitter end. At the close of the conference MT Brush was asked if any peace overtures had been discussed. : He said:
 No sincere offers of peace have come from the other side, and you may be sure that the National league is not taking the initiative Peace is out of the question as things stand at pres, ent.'

Sew era1 of the contestants dropped out, notably among them being Gus Guer- rero and Shutzer, Both of these men failed to go on the track yesterday, saying that they were unable to con- tinue. Despite this fact interest in the affair did not flag. The fight between the three leaders, Dineen, Metkus, the striking miner from Shenandoah, and Tracey, was the feature. The trio had it nip and tuck all day. Howard the finish last night Dineen and Shelton collided. Both went down in a heap, and it was thought at first that they, too, were badly hurt.

 New York, Sept 26.--C Columbia's foot. ball candidates put in two periods of hard practice yesterday in the rain. The main playing field was so wet that grass grown lot on 116th street was used for the work. Four players came out yesterday They are Smith, who played on the Harvard freshman eleven three years ago and spent the last two years at Brown; Huntington, who played football at Berkeley school; Lundgren, a heavy man who played guard on the Dwight school team, and Greene, a big junior in the school of applied science.
 Ithaca, Sept 26.-Coach Reed length ened the football practice to twenty five minutes yesterday afternoon and the lineup was exceedingly fast for so early in the season.

What a Horse-Povver Is.

A horse power is the force required to lift dead weight of 35,ooo pounds one foot a minute. To find the horse power of an engine multiply the area of the piston in inches by the average steam pressure in pounds per square inch. Multiply >the product by the travel of the piston in feet per minute and divide that product by s3,ooo. If an engine is rated at 73-horse power it will raise 33,ooO pounds one foot 73 times in one minute. Industrial Jour- nal.
