Many years ago Edwin Forrest. the
celebrated actor. when In New York,
was In the habit of dining at Win
dust's. a noted restaurant on Park
row that was a fayorite resort Of ac-
tors nnd literary men. It usually hap
pened that Forrest would be Joined by
friends and that the little group would
sit together at one table. On one oc-
casion 1t chanced that an EngIishman
with q reputation for conceit and Inn
pcrtinence, who had scraped acquaint-
ance with the tragedian. was one OF
the group.
Early III the course OF the dinner the
Engtishman began to make criticisms
which he considered pleasantries about
Forests conception Of certain roles.
Encouraged by his own appreciation he
gave full play to his humor and con-
cluded each of his impertinences with.
Pardon my freedom, sir; it's my way"
To the establishment OF all who knew
Forests irascible disposition he bore
the Eriton's offensive remarks patient
iy and seemingly ignored them as FAR
as possible. When. however, the nuts
were brought in by the waiter. he took
several cracked walnuts in his hand
and. walking over to the Briton's place.
iccularly snapped them successively In
the face Of that Individual. lightly say
Ing after each shot. Pardon my free
dom. sir: It's my way" and snapped
him out Of the restaurant.

BASE BALL NENS.
Waterbury Turned the Tables
 on Bridgeport Yesterday.

 Springfield Plays Another Twelve
 Inning Game and Wins-Hartford
 Defeated Norwich and Meriden
 Trims New Haven.
 For the defeat of the day before and for the thraShing at Bridgeport on oa.. urday. Wa erbury redeemed herselI yesterday y administering q shut-out to the or or from Bridgeport ana hls bunch o. ball tossers. It was more than sa' factory to Pitcher Waller, too. for le remembered what Bridge port ha done to him on Saturday and all the hnkind things that nad been writte- about him in the papers after that gar le, and he turned the tables on the Brit geports and the critic alike. Waller was in excellent condition, ai- though he said before the game that he did not think he was. He simply toyed with the stickers from tie Mul- vihil bailiwick and made then look like pigmies. He sent such batters as Rogers. Beaumont and Hi Ladt. down the line without nit and allowed the visitors but four punky hits. 1t was pitching some and Jim O'Rourke looked on in surprise as he saw his men go down one after the other before this auburn haired youth, who was so easy on Saturday.
 Humphreys, the light haired twirler, was doing good work for Bridgeport in the meantime, and he held the Water bury batters. too, in all except one in- ming. The fourth inning was a bad one for him, for it gave the home team her only chance to do some good work In that inning Slater was the first man up and he knocked a long one to right field and was retired. Luskey then hammered a hot one to Mickey De. fancy, but that chap let it get away from him. Mccormack went cut to first and it looked like another blank when the tables were turned Henry waited for bad ones and then with two on the bases our old friend, Peter Kier- nan, stepped to the plate. Peter has been substituted for Cronan at short and the fans begged him to do sOme- thing. Peter did it, for he tracked out a pretty single and the first run came over the plate. That started the busi- ness and Lindemann, Yyho was playing right field, hammered out another safe one. Then Chris Camp, or Delkescamp, which is his right name. and who is one of the star fielders of the City Am ateur league, and who was taking Weisbecker's place in left field, sent another safe one to the right garden. Waller walked free to first and Eitz- patrick found another single, Slater got his base on balls, but Luskey flew out 10 center, and after it was all over the scorer chalked down five runs and there we stopped. Bridgeport tried hard to land few runs, but she was not able to find Waller.

FoRDHAM COLLEGE GAMES.
Flanagan Equals Worlds Hammer
 Record ill Foul Exhibition Throw.


 Flanagan Equals Worlds Hammer Record ill Foul Exhibition Throw. brated yesterday morning by q set or handicap athletic games at Fordham held. The games were a preliminary attempt to put athletics on stronger basis at Fordham, and no matter from what standpoint the meeting might be regarded, it was pre-eminently q sue cess. The day was fine, the crowd was large, the events we'll filled and splen- didly contested, and everything brimful of enthusiasm. From the spirit shown by the students the Fordham inst1tu- tion should in future be heard from iii athletics. The program contained ten events, confined to the students, and in order to create a spirit of emulation, special exhibitions had been arranged by national champions. In majority of the races the times recorded were worthy fof note. A youngster nanied Gorgon ran the half mile in 1 minute % 70 sleconds off the fifty-yard mark. and O'Ioole won the 100 yards fer seniors in 10 4-5 seconds with lots to spare.
 John Flanagan, holder of the ham mer thIbwing record, made an attempt to surI ass his previous mark of 179 feet lches. These figures he exactly duplicated after several attempts. bllt he fouled the circle by about foot Before Flanagan came on the scene for his act the crowd had swar,ned over the infield, but after the Irishman Whlried himself q couple of times the spectators took to their heels and fled m all directions, giving him q wide berth. w

German Horse Owner. Discharges All
 Germans and Hires Americans.

Berlin, May Herr Bleichroeder, the Roseberry of the German turf. has discharged every German who had anything to do with his racing stables and from trainer to stable boys he has replaced them with Americans, among whom are several colored men. Herr Bleichroeder has told his turf ac- quaintances that he is convinced that Americans know bow to get the best out of racing horses, and that lie in- tends to employ none but Americans ill his stable. Herr Blochreoder is a prominent banker
 Only two American jockeys are ell gagged on the German turf. These are Eddie Poss, who is retained l V Herr B1eichroeder and Nate Hill, who is re- tained by Herr Weinberg of Frank fort.

WILL BoARDMAN COMPETE.
Runners Presence in Intercollegiate
 Championships Would Help Yale.


 With the intercollegiate champion ships but little over three weeks off, q question that is agitating both Yale and Harvard is twill Boardman run for Yale?' This matter is being dis cussed daily at Yale. Boardman has given the directors of Yale's track team no little uneasiness by the slack manner in which he has trained. But it is hoped he will be in condition for the dual games with Harvard and the intercollegiate championships at Berk- eley Oval on the 30th and 31st of this month.
 Boardman's presence or absence means very much to Yale. He has run the 100 yards in 10 seconds, the 220 yards in 21 3-5 seconds, and the 40 yards in 49 2-5 seconds. If he gets in condition Yale's chances for winning both the dual games with her great rival from Cambridge and the college championships will be very much inn proved. Murphy, Yale's famous train CT, is also counting on Boardman, and it is likely that he will be seen in the important contests.

Sir Thomas Says No Yachts in Her
 Class Will Be in Commission.

Boston, May 7.-The Herald has re- ceiyed a special cable dispatch from Sir Thomas Lipton which makes 1t certain that Shamrock II. will not be placed ill commission in these waters this season. The query sent to Sir Thomas was, twill you fit out and put Shamrock II. in commission to take part in any races the coming season?" Sir Thomas's answer is: Useless fit ting out the yacht when there are no others of the same class to race against" This, coupled with the state ment by Commodore Ledyard that neither the Columbia nor the Consti- tuition would be placed III commission, shows conclusively that there will be no races on either side this season be- tween the ninety-fe9tsrs
