EUROPEAN BEACHES.
Their Methods ard Bathing Suits Very
Different From Ours.

Their Methods ard Gathing Suits Very
Different From Oure.
In Europe there is no lounging on
the beach in bathing suits. On this
point the foreigner is apt to criticise
the American woman and to point out
that when the women in Europe put
on bathing suits it is for the purpose
of bathing and not of sitting on the
beach, high and dry. out OF the reach
of even the largest wave. There are
many reasons for this. One is the con
sideration that prevents me from max.
ing any illustrations of them. They
generally are not fit for sight or pub
LEGATION. 1t would take q very small
wave indeed to thoroughly drench the
most ella borate of the costumes com
monty worn by the ladies' throughout
Europe when they go bathing. OF
course the conditions are different.
In Europe madame does not have to
cross the beach in her scanty attire.
When she enters her bathhouse she is
in full street regalia. and as the house
is then wheeled out into the water.
when she energies for her dip she is
visible Only for the brief time it takes
to plunge into the water, and she en-
joys her swim without the encum-
brance of skirts. When her bathhouse
is wheeled back and she appears on
the beach she is again in street cos
tune. Then. too, there are many
beaches on the continent, such as the
Damenstrand in Nordeney, where gen.
tlemen are excluded until a certain
hour of the day.-Charles Il. Peters in
Bohemian Magazine.

Portland, Ind, Sept. 6.-Portland
lost to Van Vert, the score being to
5. Durham started in the box for the
locals and did well until after an err
ror which allowed two runs. The
Portland bunch had a few errors in
judgment not registered on the score
book, which were very costly. Hunt
relieved Durham in the fourth and
with the exception of the seventh in
ming pitched good ball. In that inning
the game was lost when the visitors
punched four hits, netting their two
extra runs.
Romine was in the box for the Ohio
team and would have been batted all
over the lot but for the excellent sup
port accorded him. Hardin OF the
Portland bunch starred at the bat, get
ting three hits out of four times up.

RICHMOND q; DECATUR I.

Decatur, Ind, Sept. Elm an old
fashioned smuggling match Richmond
defeated Decatur Thursday afternoon
by q score of to /. Everybody in the
game took fall out of the ball. Rich
mond gave Horn splendid support in
the field and although the big fellow
was hit hard, hits could not be made
off him when they were needed. The
visitors punched three singles and
two Dagger off Cy Alberts in the Sec
ond and put the game on Ice. Deca-
tur would have been shutout but for
an error of Ritter's in the first inning.
One run off twelve hits shows what
remarkable fast fielding game the
Quakers pulled off. Two fast double
plays were the features of this field
ing exhibition. Fisher and Horn led
the visitors at the bat while Pierce
was the confectionery kid with the bat
for Decatur.
At the kickoff Pierce laced out a hit
and was sent to third on infieid outs.
Burns then came to bat and eased a
pop up to Ritter, which the rabbit al
lowed to get away from him, the elu-
sive sphere bounding out of his claws.
Pierce counted on this error.
In the last half of the first Ritter
was walked. Jessup tried to sacrifice
him, but popped to Alberts. Weaver
then came along and hit vicious sim
gle to right, which cracked Pierce On
the shins. The ball rolled nearly to
the fence and Ritter came home before
It could be fielded.
In the secon- came the deluge of

gled. Gardner sacrificed him and the
little fellow counted on hit by Fish
or. Horn signled and advanced Fish
er to third. Ritter went out and Horn
stole second. Jessup then cleared the
bags with a scorching two-bagger. De-
catur then rallied and kept the Qua
kers from scoring until the end of the
game. Score:

thieves are not held in high esteem.
