ON THE MAT.
Three Star Bouts in New York Last
 Night


 A series of wrestling matches was decided at the London theater on the Bowery, New York, last night. A crowd of nearly 1000 persons attended and the enthusiasm bordered on the botsterous at times. Three star bouts made up the card, the main event be- ing between Arthur kelter and Joe Bernstein, the pugilist. Kelter under took to throw Bernstein four times in one, hour at as-catch-can style That he did not succeed in doing so was not his fault, because he tried ev- cry ruse know1 in and out of the game to be successful. Leo Pardello was the referee, while Morris Rose, the e&st side politician and sport was time keeper. Kelter and Bernstein wound up the show. Kelter had the better of the weight by at least twenty pounds Bernstein was clever and strong and stalled his opponent off with consider able zest Kelter secured three falls The first was gained with a hammer lock 1n Il minutes, the second with a half Nelson and crotch in Il minutes and 12 seconds and the last in 27 min utes with q bar lock and half Nelson During the progress of the final bout the rules were broken repeatedly. Kelter using his elbows, and he was re- peatedly cautioned for his rough house tactics. In the first essay Young Sie- gel threw Charley Wilde in 4 minutes. Harry Pikinsky, the former 125-pound amateur champion defeated John Tompkins, the Tattoo Man., of the New Polo A. c. Tompkins heretofore enjoyed an undefeated record, but against Pikinsky he was all at sea and was thrown in minutes and 30 sec onds., Max Luttbeg and Harry Model of the Reliance A. c. furnished a live ly bout for fifteen minutes. At the end of the bout Model was still up and doing and the match was called a draw. After . the Bernstein-Kelte bout, when Bernstein was declared the winner because Kelter had not thrown him according to contract, Morris Rose offered to match Bernstein against Kelter again for $25O a side under the conditions which governed the bout The challenge was promptly accepted.

Philadelphians Go To Pieces After
 Lending University in First Innings.
 Oxford, June 13-The Philadelphia cricketers. who began a match against Oxford university Thursday, continued the game here yesterday on a soft and treacherous wicket, which was respon- sible for rather an extraordinary score. The visitors gained good lead of 124 runs on the first inning but they have done so badly in their second attempt that This advantage may be considered wined out rf
 With lead of 124 runs in the first innings, the Philadelphians went in for their second turn at the bat. feeling 11iGhlv elated. A series of disasters marked tho oDening of their Innings, however. for they quickly lost F. H. Rnhlen. N. 7. Graves and Fl. A. Faines. q. c. Morris stayed for a while bl1+ T. B. King and A.

Henley Stewards Decline TO RecOgnlze
 Oarsmen Indorsed by Mayor Low.
 The entry of c. S. Titus of the Ata- lanta Boat club for the Diamond Souls at Henley has been returned to the secretary of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen by the Henley stewards. Tn accordance with Rule x of the general rules no reason was offered for the rejection of the entry. but it may be inferred that Titus got engaged in too many altercations with rowing clubs on this side of the water lately.
 Titus went across last year and made good showing until he met F. S. Kelly. the Oxonian. As Kelly and Etherington Smith. the runner-up 10 Kelly. will be absentees this year, 1t was believed that the Atalanta man had good chance to land the Dfa- mond" He is in good form and had his ticket purchased to sail on June IT. No word has been received that the entries of Juvenal and Scholes will pass muster. Tit1ss entry was en- dorsed by Mayor Low of New York and the National Association of Anna teur Oarsmen.

salmon-Carcn1ng Centers.

The six chief salmon catching cen ters on the Pacific coast, in the order of the quantity of fish packed Gin 1eo1l, are Alaska, Puget Sound (British Co., lumbia), the Columbia river, the Ore gon coast, the Washington coast and the California rivers. About four fifths of the entire catch was in Amer ican waters, one-ffth in Canadian. For their extent and importance-the annual product now being worth over s2o,ooo,0o0, employing an army of men and millions of capital--the Pacific salmon fisheries are Of surprisingly recent development. Like every in- dustry in the northwest, they have seemingly sprung into importance over night-yesterday nothing, to-day business of worldwide recognition. Ray Stannard Baker, in Century.

OID-TIME COOKERY.
Science of the Bas<e-oven as 1t Was Taught Over Two Gen.
 turics Ago.

In the early days of the seventeenth century gastronomy was truly won- derful science, if a little cookery book, published in 163s, and now in the possession of Chicago woman, is any criterion, says the Tribune of that city. The title it bears is "Mur- rell's Two Books of Cookerie and Carving. Printed for John Marriot, and are to be sold at his Shop in Saint Dunstan's Church-yard in Fleet-street, 1885," To bake "red deere'' you are directed to ''Parboyle it, and presse it, and let it lye all night in Red-Wine and Vinegar; then Larde it Thicke, and season it with Pepper, Salt, Cloues, Mace, Nutmeg, and Ginger. Bake it in a deepe Coffin of Rye-paste, with stores of Butter: let it soake well. Leaue vent-hole in your Pye, and when you draw it out of the Ouen, put in melted Butter, Vinegar, Nut meg, Ginger, and little Sugar; shake 1t very we'll together, and put 1t into the Ouen againe, and let it stand three or foure houres at, the least, to soake thorowly; when your Ouen is cold take it out, and stop the hole with Butter"
 Next is a heading, 'Fritters on the Court Fashion" tsTake the Curds of a Sacke-posset, the yolles of sixe Egges, and the whites of two of them, fine flower, and make batter: season it with Nutmeg and little Pepper, put Tn little strong ale, and put them into Larde; neither too hot nor too cold. If your batter swim it is in good. tenn per-"
 A recipe ITO make blancht MancheG in Fryingpan" by it's substitution of
 Manchet" or fine bread for meat. shows Chaucer's "blank-manger" on It's way to become the modern blanc mango, though it is the fourteenth, and not the seventeenth, century form which has survived. The recipe runs:
 Take halfe-a-dosen Egges, haIfe a Plnte Of sweet Creame, penny man chet grated, nutmeg grated, two Spoonefuls of Rosewater, two ounces of Sugar, worke all. stiffe like a Pud- ding: then frye it like Tansey in a, little Frydngpan that it may be thicIe: frye 1t browne and turne it out upon plate. Cut it in quarters, and serue It like Pudding. Scrape on Sugar.
 The method of concocting s'Gellie of Pippins, of the Colour of Amber" is also worth quoting. 'sTake eight faire pippins, take out the coares. boyle them in quart of spring-water, rom a quart unto 8 pinte: put in a quarter of pinto of Rose-water, a pound of fine Sugar. and boyle it un- couered until it come to the colour of Amber: you may know when it is. enough by letting drop fall on a. piece of Glasse, and if it stand it is enough: then let it run into an earthen or Silver Bason upon a Chafindish of Coales, and while it is wartne i'll vour Boxes or Printing-moulds with a, spoone, and let it stand, and when it IS cold you may turn it out of your mould, and it will be printed on the upper side"

HOUSEHOLD BITS.
Atems of Information of a Domestic Nature That May Prove
 of Value.

To whiten clothes, put two tea spoonfuls of turpentine into the cop per in which they are boiled.
 Stains on knives, however obs tinate, will disappear if rubbed with piece of raw potato dipped in brickdust.
 If garment is badly scorched in ironing lay it in the brightest sunshine you can find and unless the fabric is burned the stain will all come out.
 Paraffin will last longer and produce better light if a, lump of salt about the size of a walnut be placed in the reservoir of the lamp in which it is used.
 The very best codfsh is cured whole, consequently those who purchase the fish instead of the desiccated article get better quality The choice cut of a codfish is a piece cut from the cen- ter.
 Too much care cannot be bestowed upon the setting of table. Each ar- ticle should be laid on it with abso- 1ute precision. Nothing is worse than a'knife or fork that is laid on careless ly and at the wrong angle
 Rust on steel may be removed thus: Cover the steel with sweet oil, rub it In well and let it stand for 4s hours; then rub the steel with uns1aked lime, finely powdered, till all the marks have disappeared.
 Linen bags may be made by sewing two towels together. If they are fringed or have colored borders, so much the better. The top end should be turned over to form casing for the ribbon with which the bag is drawn up, the lower end should be stitched across just above the orna- mental part of the towels.
 Fringed table linen is not good choice for daily use. Napkins and tablecloths intended for common sery- ice should be hemmed by preference. For everyday use hemnled towels are best, also. The fringe "snaps off" with wear. A new comb with coarse teeth is useful to keep in order the fringe of doilies, napkins, towels and counter panes.

Favor1te Hermis Was Defeated.

as Suburban handicap favorite, Her mis, met defeat in the second race at Gravesend. Out of the original nine entries only three faced the starter, the others not caring to run against Hermis. The public went to the Thom- as horse freely despite the fact that he was held at the prohibitive price of 2 to z. When it came to racing River Pirate raced out in front and led al- most from start to finish. River Pirate won ridden out by three-quarters of a length from the favorite.

SOME ANCIENT HOMES.
Strange Tower Residences Found in q LtttIe Known, Region of
 the Old Empire.

The ancients in these regions seem to have had two general forms of pri- vate residence--one long and low, sell dom of more than two stories, and having capacious two-story colon rnades, or porticos with inclosed court yards before them; the other of tower form, four or five stories high, with two or three rooms in each story. Those of the latter sort are naturally preserved in fewer instances than the former, for the reason that high buiid- ings are, generally speaking, a more easy prey to earthquake than low ones. Examples of the long two-story house are common in every ruined town,j many of them in a remarkable state of preservation. writes Howard Cros- by Butler, in "A Land of Deserted Git ies,'' in Century. The dates inscribed upon them range from 39a to 51o A. D. The porticos of these houses were their most interesting feature; here the ornament was massed, here the in scriptions were carved, and here doubt less the leisure hours of the ancient owners were passed. Between the col umns of the upper story was a para pet composed of rectangular slabs paneled, molded and otherwise orna- mented. Many of these apparently thin slabs are, in reality, the backs of the settees cut in solid stone, with conf seats and curving arms. The wooden floors of all colonnades like this have, of course, perished, so that now, when one sits in one of the settles, his feet are necessarily sus- pended in space; but these seats are an index of the homelike ease and luxury that these ancient people en- joyed in the open loggias of their town residences, when the floors were in place, when a sloping roof afforded welcome shade within the portico, and when clinging vines twined about the pillars of stone.
 The bazars of these ancient towns, which are still recognized as such by the people who live among the ruins, who have no bazars of their own, but have seen them in Aleppo, consist of long, narrow structures facing direct ,ly upon the street; often they occupied both sides of street of unusual width The fronts of the shops have two-story porticos of square monolithic piers carrying equally plain architraves. Behind the portico is a building, also of two stories, composed of a series of small rooms which were undoubtedly ,store-rooms in the ground story and liv- ing apartments above. The arrange ment was snot unlike that of the col onnades of the Greek market places, and, indeed, they seem to have been called stoae, as we learn from an in- scription upon one of them. We may then suppose that the lower story of the porticos was employed for the dis play of merchandise in the daytime and that the goods were removed to the storerooms at night.

seawanha1xa Cup Race.

MANCHESTER, Mass, June 1S.-~A fifteen knot breeze which tossed up whitecaps in the harbor, accompanied by hard rain, made the managers of the Seawanhaka cup challenger trials decide to postpone the race. They will try to hold two races today. The Meda, another challenger, owned by Edgar Allan Lynn of New York, ar rived by rail and was put in the wa ter. She is of the freak type and looks like a plank floating on the wa ter, with the mast almost amidship.

[ nnT Wasted,

One of the principal sights in Tan giers, to a certain class of tourists, is the city jail, wherein the sultan of Morocco's subjects are kept chained amid surroundings that are inconceiv- able to. European minds.
 But the 'trippers'' ado not see the old original prison that did duty in Muley Hassan's time.
 That was built deep down below sea- level, and was so unutterably loath- some that it was, in difference to the preiudices of the foreign consuls, closed outright by his majesty's ex- press order.
 This, however, did not suit the then governor of Tangiers. It seemed to him a wicked and wantoE waste of val uable space. So he had the horrible place perfunctorily cleansed-in obe- dience to those ridiculous consular prejudices aga1n-and utilized it as a storehouse for ripening bananas.-- Stray Stories.
