COMING DOWN
 FUR TRIMMING

The challenge has been issued and accepted for a basketball game between the Pueblo and Skagway teams, to be played at Skagway on Saturday evening, Dec. 2S. For sev- eral weeks past defiances have been hurled back and forth between the two teams, in which the northern boys were aided and abetted by Stroller White, a superannuated basketeer, who is ribbing up an awful slaughter for his men; and when the battle is over and he is taking back their mangled remains in his own basket, retribution may come to Quen the mad spirit of this distempered leader of forlorn hope. Whom the gods would de- stroy they first make mad"
 After saying that the Pueblo boys will be here on the 2Sth, Mir. White continues in his letter to H. c. Putnam as follows:
 At the same time I think a bowling team from Whitehorse will also go, provided you can give them a game. While you will not prob ably be able to get up a team of bowlers that will be in the same class as ours, yet do the best you can. If a bowling match can be arranged, it is probable that fully thirty people will go from White horse, which crowd, with one from the mine, will make a very good party. But they will want train on Saturday, returning home on Monday.
 We have no lady basketball players but a number of our ladies will join the excursion"
