strenuous work was done with the big ball.
The medicine ball was passed around for
twenty minutes. Kicking the football and
hitting the grounders and a run back to
the hotel with Manager McGraw in the lead

CHARGES CONTORTION OF FACTS.
Lemuel Smith Asks FOR a Receiver to Care
for His Fathers Estate.

! TRENTON, n. j, March l6.-Lemuel Smith
OF Brooklyn filed a bill in chancery to-day
asking for a receiver to take charge of the
estate Of his father. the late Lemuel Smith,
who lived at Middletown, N. j. The COM
- plainant also asks for a partition Of the estate
which he says has been dissipated and
f~raudulently disposed Of so as to endanger
his own rights under his fathers will.
The defendants named in the action are
John S. W. Thompson and his wife of Nor
ristown, \. j.; Mr.. and Mrs. William H.
Thompson Of Morris Plains, n. j.; William
F. Williams of New York and David Kay,
Jr. J S. w. Thompson, a son-in-law Of
the elder Mr.. Smith and Mr., Wilson,a New
York merchant, we're executors under the
will.
Mr.. Smith left an estate, part Of which
consisted of real estate and personal prop
erty in the vicinity of Atlantic Highlands,
stock in the Benjamin 4 Weaver Cattle
COMPANY, an enterprise Of Lemuel Smith,
Jr., in Wyoming, Part Of the estate left
was a fund Of SIC. 900 to be divided equally
between Mr.. Smiths three children, the
residue, except $50 900, being left subject
to a like distribution. The $4,000 was
to be deducted from the share of Lemuel
Smith, Jr., on account of money advanced
to him by his father in the cattle business.
It is asserted by the complainant that
the defendants combined together in max
ing a fraudulent statement as to the amount
of the estate and that they procured from
him through fraud consents to several
transfers OF real estate. Various financial
transactions involving sums Of several
-. thousand dollars are reclted in the bill to
show that the complainant was deprived
Of his Just share OF the estate. These trans
actions he characterizes as involving the
"rankest contortion of facts conceivable"
to ORDER a partition OF his fathers estate
under the direction of a receiver to be named
by the Court, and that the defendants may

falling into their hands as executors or as
parties to the illegal transactions.

Of one Of the model Shamrocks constructed

naturally fails to give any real idea of the

Thomas that the models should be as per-
feet az possible and complete down TO the
smallest detail.
These instructions have been faithfully
carried out. and the result is three miniatures
which may be reCkoned unique in more than
one regard. In every instance the actual
plans were used and they were wrought ont
faithfully on the scale of three-eighths Of an
inch to the foot. The miniatures are complete

HOCKEY.
Seventh Regiment Men Play at the ST.
Nicholas Skating Rink.

1t was soldiers night at the st. Nicholas
Skating Rink last night. Two teams, repre-
senting Companies / and X OF the Seventh
Regiment. played and there was quite a
large gathering to see the contest. Each
team was supported by COMPANY %rooters,
and the pretty girls who always turn TO see
anything that the Seventh is interested In
were on hand to laugh and applaud and later
to skate.
These two teams have been practising for
this contest for some time, but in spite OF all
the practice they had made II would hardly
be fair to call the game a hockey contest.
1t was a sort of so as you please, and Com
pany X men having the better luck scored
8 goals to 3 for Company l.
In the first half things were pretty even.
Each side scored twice, Peabody and Slosson
making the goals for Company | and Richards
and Kobbe for Company n, and this gave
the idea to all that II would be a close con-
test. Then Company Is men seemed TO no
played out, ana TWO more goaIs were made
by their opponents, Richards and f.. Fisk
doing the shooting,
In the second half Peabody succeeded in
scoring once for Company |, and after that
Company ks men shot five goals. one after
the other. Saylor. Company is goal, seemed
una bic TO stop any.
Milligan showed a new trick during this
half. lie was tripped while skating with
the puck, but managed TO get the rubber and
sit on It. The men on the opposing team
had lots of fun jabbing him with their sticks
and trying TO regain the puck. Mlligan
finally had to let them nave it. The teams
lined up as follows:
