SPORTS ON THE ICE.
Crescent Hockey Team WW LeaOe
for Canada on FRIDAY.

The Crescent Athletic Club hockey team will
leave on Friday night for Montreal to play game
on Saturday evening with the Montreal Athletic
Association second. Five private cars have been
engaged. as more than sixty members Of the club
will make the trip with the team.
Doubts have been expressed as to the strength
OF the Crescent team since Sheblers finger was
broken. and he has been forced to the side bench.
TIL that will go Canada will not be a
weak one by any means, for Shiebler's place will
be ably filed by ''Sars" Kennedy, who is a member
Of the club and an old Crescent hockeyist. He
knows the tricks that Crescents indulge in, and
IS as fast as almost any the forward line.
The resignation Of Hallock, the former goal
keeper OF the Crescent team. from the captaincy OF
the seven has resulted in the election of Bob Wall
TO the leadership this year Wall is old hand at
the captaincy and needs no experimenting. He is
undoubtedly the best defence player in the country

against their amateur standing they viii be eligible
to play during the latter part OF January.
What action will be taken by the amateur league
regarding the successful ringing In Of unresis-
tered players by the Brooklyn management is not
known In all probability the game will be for
feited TO the Crescent club. Such a punishment
will hardly amount to very much as the Crescents
won the contest. There IS also some talk OF eX-
pellIng the Brooklyn team for its rough playing.
Nothing. however, is definitely known.

"The suspicious day that rescued
our country from the hated yoke OF
foreign tyranny and gave us honor
able rank among the nations of the
earth. May its glorious events never
be effaced from our memories; may
the blessings it has conferred be as
lasting as the globe we inhabit, and
may each revolving year find US more
united, more happy and more free"
The celebration of the glorious
Fourth in Boston 103 years ago is
thus described in local paper:
s'The morning sun advanced to the
music of the artillery of this town,
Of Fort Independence, and of all the
neighboring towns. The bells imme-
diately took up the signal OF march;
care, dizziness and business had fur
loughs for the day, and all classes
and all ages shook slumber from
their eyes, arrayed themselves in
their best attire, and repaired to the
festive scenes of Independence.
Heaven was pleased to bestow day
as temperate and invigorating as the
Government and laws which a wise
people must feel they enjoy"
In New York there were parades
and church services during the day
and theatrical performances at night.
The militia, with members from the
Tammany and Mechanics Societies,
formed in line of march at the Bat
terry and paraded through Beaver,
Broad, Wall. Pearl and Beekman
streets to Broadway. and then to st.
Paurs Church, where a service OF
oratory commemorative OF the day
was held. In the two popular gar
dens, Mt. Vernon and vanxhall, there
were firework displays in the even
ing, combined with exhibits OF mill
tary scenes. The usual dinners were
eaten, with toasts equal to the num-
Der of States in the Union which

of American independence to a close.

IF there are British officers who

The Fourth of July, 1889, was OF
exceptional Importance, not only to
the country at large, as it was the
first to be celebrated under stable
form of Government, but to New
York city in particular, because less
than three months before George
Washington had been inaugurated
President, and was then resident
of the city. The, Society Of the Gin
'cinnati held its customary meeting in
the morning and elected Baron Steu-
ben President and Alexander Hamil-
ton Vice President. The society ap-
pointed a committee to wait upon the
President, bearing the best wishes OF
the day, and Baron Steuben acted as
a spokesman on this memorable occa-
sion. His remarks we're:
