The ladies of the Yacht Whist club met at Hickory Blufi' yesterday after- noon and organized for the summer of ’96. Mrs. Robert A. McDonald was elected secretary and a governing com- mittee composed of Mrs. John H. Fer- , ris, Mrs. P. G. Sanford and Mrs. George R. Byington was appointed. It was de~ cided to limit the membership to seven tables after which a waiting list would be formed on which the names of other members desiring to join could be placed until a vacancy occurs. The. meeting decided that the club would meet every other Wednesday during the summer. At the meeting of the Governing Board of the Norwalk Yacht club, at the residence of vice-commodore A. E.

A man fell from the housebop in the city of Aberdeen, and was brought into a hospital with broken bones. He was asked what was his trade, and replied that he was a topper. No one had ever heard of such a thing before, says the Amateur Emigrant; the officials were filled with curiosity; they besought an explanation. It appeared that when a party of slaters were engaged upon a roof they would now and then be taken with a. fancy for the public house. Now, a. seamstress, for example, mightslip away from her work and no one be the ’wiser, but if these fellows adjourned the tapping of the mallets would cease, and: thus the neighborth would be advised of their dereliction. Hence the career of the topper. He has to do the topping and keep up an industrious bustle on the hecsetop during the ab- sence of the slaters. _ When he taps for only“ one or two the thing is child’s play, but when he has to represent a. whole troop it is then that he earns his money in the sweet of his brow. Then must he bound from spot to spot, reduplicaie, triplicate, scxtuplicate his single personality, and swell and hasten his blows, until he produces a perfect illusion for the ear, and you would swear that a. crowd of emulous masons were continuing mer- rily to roof the house. It must be a strange sight from an upper window. A CHICKEN FOR ONE. A Pigmy for Epicures Now Served by Paris Restaurateurs. It is generally conceded that a. small bird makes a. very dainty meal for one person, and it must have been a source of regret to manythat it wasseldoni possible to obtain a chicken just large enough for one man with a. moderate. appetite. The difficulty has now been removed, in Paris at least, says the New York Journal. Many Paris hotels and restaurants are, now introducing as a. novelty into their menus what might be described as “one man, one chicken.” Everyone who understands anything of the appe- tite of man understands that he likes best to tackle a bird single-handed. With- the ordinary fowl this was, of course, impossible, so the ingenious chef proceeded to develop, or rather curtail, the spring chicken, and now‘ a three-months-old bird is served to each guest, just as though it were a quail or a. plover. That there is any . stability in the body of so young and tender a. chicken can hardly be admit- ted; but the novelty has been greatly appreciated, especially by Americans in Paris, and there is already a demand, and a great one', for fledgling barn; doors. BIRD TRAGEDY. Starling Accidentally Collides with and Kills a Book in Midair. James Carter, of Masha-m, Yorks, Eng- land, reports a happening to the London Field the like of which seldom or never was observed before. In over 25 vol- umes of a welloknown sportesmen’s newspaper a. similar incident has not been reported. The Field says that “a sterling, fly- ing swiftly from its nest, collided with a. passing rook, and the starling’s beak penetrated the head of the rook, causing instant death.” Hawks, of course, often strike their game in midair and kill it, but in that case the collision is inten- tional. During the migrating periods birds are often killed and maimed by flying against unseen obstacles at night, as telegraph wires or high waterfalls. Many ducks and geese fly up stream into the Niagara falls every year, but the like of this incident is not recorded. Fo-Hi’s Politeness. Emperor Fo-Hi, the first of his line, is the Chinese model of politeness. He is said to have been so civil he al- ways spoke, even of himself, with pro- found respect, and when the Chinese habit of self—depreciation is remem- bered, this degree of civility will be bet- ter appreciated.

Maine has 1,620 lakes, with an area of 2,300 square miles, and 5,000 rivers and streams, making Maine’s inland water surface 3,200 square miles; Maine \rivens fall on their passage to the sea a mean distance of 6,000 feet, yielding an aggregate gross power of 2,650,200 horse-power.

DANGEROUS LAKES. Mysterious. Submarine Currents in Some“ of the Northern Waters. Little Shuswap lake is stated to have a. flat bottom, with a. depth varying from fifty-eight to seventy-four feet, measured from the .mean high water mark. The deepest water found in the ~ Great Shuswap, says the Vancouver, World, was five hundred and fifty-five feet, about six miles northward from Cinnemousun narrows, in Seymour arm, though the Whole lake is notably deep. Adams lake, however, exceeds either of the Shuswaps, as its average depth for twenty miles is upward of one thousand one hundred feet, and at one point a. depth of one thousand nine hundred feet was recorded. In the northwest corner of this lake, at a. depth of one thousand one hundred and eighteen feet, the purpose of the scientific explorers was defeated by the presence of mysterious submarine cur- rents, which played with the sounding line like some giant fish and prevented any measurement being taken. It is a. complete mystery how the currents could have been created at this depth, and scientific curiosity will, no doubt, impel either public or private enter- prise to send a second expedition to the scene this summer to endeavor to solve the riddle. As the height of the sur- face of this lake is one thousand three hundred and eighty feet above the sea level its present bed is, therefore, only one hundred and ninety feet above the sea, although distant two hundred miles from the nearest part of the Dr. Dawson and his associates believe that the beds of some of the ,mountain lakes in the region are many feet lower than the sea. level. GAMES IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS. How Esquimau Find Recreation and Per- sonal Enjoyment. . In the matter of amusements the Es- quimaux are not badly off. They have a. form of cup and. ball, the ball being a. block of ivory with holes at different angles, into one of which the players strive to insert an ivory peg as the block falls, the position of the hole determin- in g the value of the stroke. Another game. says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, closely resembles dominoes, and contains pieces running as high as “double thirties,” but the sequences. are not regularly carried out, the breaks in them seeming to be With- out system. When they can borrow or purchase a. pack of cards they will play with con- siderable skill, and they also enjoy draughts, having learned these games from the Whalers. They have a game exactly like solitaire with the excep- tion that ivory pegs take the place of glass balls. The special amusement of the women is a. species of “cat’s cradle,” which has been brought to such perfection that they develop from twenty to thirty dif- ferent figures in it. Indeed, they are extremely clever in performing tricks with string, winding and twisting a. piece in and out among their fingers, and then disentangling it by a. single pull atone end. OYSTER-SHELL HOUSES. ‘ ...._—..— They are Frequently Met with in Texas Towns. “Houses built of oyster shells can be seen in a large number of Texas towns,” Said G. A. Holland, a. well~ known newspaper man, recently. says the Cincinnati Gazette. “The state .was at one time undoubtedly a part of the bed of the Gulf of Mexico. How many years ago geologists do not know, and natural historians are puz- zled at the forms of life, so different are they from any to be found else- where.” Mr. Holland then proceeded to unfold a remarkable story. Running across the state from north to south, he said, is an immense ledge or sheet of rock formed of oyster shells. This ledge averages about twenty feet in thickness and is used for building pur- poses in some places, while in others it is ground up and placed upon the ground as a fertilizer. There is a. large quarry near Henrietta, in the northern part of the state, and a. num- ber of handsome blocks have been con- structed from it. IVhen first taken out of the earth it is white and soft, but when exposed to the air it becomes hard and turns to a beautiful buff color. It was formerly used for foundations only, but during the past few years a. great many handsome blocks and resi- dences have been built of it." Saved by a Dog. A large Newfoundland dog saved a boy’s life at Baltimore recently. The boy is eight years old, and the dog, formerly a. tramp, is now well cared for. The boy and the dog were romp- ing on the dock in the morning, when the boy nccidentall y fell overboard. There are twenty feet of water in the dock. The big Newfoundland saw the boy fall, and just as he came to the sur- face sprang into the dock and swam to the fast sinking boy. The boy clutched the woolly hair on the dog's neck,whicli kept him afloat, and then the dog started to swim with his burden to the other side of the dock. A man rushed to the rescue and. when the dog reached the place jumped into a rowboat .and managed, to pull both the dog and the boy out of the water. The dog became a. hero in the eyes of the people who had been attracted to the scene and he was ‘given a. first-class dinner for his heroism. Portland (Ore.) Restaurant Talk.

' PillSlililm WINNER the Epsom Derby. , AT ODDS OF FIVE TO ONE. The Favorite, St. Frusquin, Owned by Rothschild, Beaten by a. Narrow Mar- gin—Helen Nichols, the Amer- ican Horse. Gets a Race. LONDON, June 4.—The great Derby of 1896 was run at Epsom downs and won by Persimmon. owned by the Prince of Wales} St. Frusquin was second and Ear- wig third. St. Frusquin is owned by Baron Leopold dc Rothschild. Persim- mon, lit was asserted Tuesday, was dis- abled.i His chances of winning from St. Frusquln were considered as practically .destro‘yed. St. Frulquin, although beaten at the finish, gave a good account of him- self and finished second. Earwig, the third horse in the race, .is ownedby Mr. H. F. Beddington. Folowing is the summary: The ,IDerby stakes of 6,000 sovereigns, by sulncription of 50 sovereigns each, half forfeit, or 5 sovereigns only if declared by the that Tuesday in January, 1895, for 3-,year-.olds, colts 9 stone and fillies 8 stone 9 pounds, the nominator of the winner to receive 500 sovereigns, the owner of the second 300 sovereigns and the owner of the third 200 sovereigns out of the stakes; about one mile and a half (280 subscribers, 68 of whom declared forfeit). ' H. R. H. the Prince of Wales’ bay colt Persimmon, by ‘St. Simon-Perdita II, first; Mr. Leopold de Rothschild’s brown colt St. Frusquin, by St. Simon—Isabel, second; Mr. H. E. Beddington’s brown or black colt Earwig, by Hampton—Wriggle, third. ’ - The Track \Vas Very Hard. The crowd in attendance at the start of the great race was even larger than that of last year, which was greater than any that had been seen on Epsom downs since 1889. Most of the starters in the Derby were out bright and early for their morn- ing gallops on the Downs, Persimmon speeding for six furlongs, St. Frusquin and Gulistan each going a mile and Knight of the Thistle five furlongs. The track was so hard that it could not be as- certained until the last moment whether Regret would start or not. M. Cannon, Regrst’s jockey, declared early in the morning that the course was the hardest he had ever seen and pronounced it posi- tively unfit to speed a horse on. The bot ting at noon Was 4 to 7Vagainst St. Frue quin, 4 to 1 against Persimmon, 14 to 1 against ‘Gulistan, 10 to 1 each against Teufel and Regret and 33 to 1 each against ‘ Knight of the Thistle and Bradward. There was a steady exodus of racegoers from London throughout the forenoon. Hundreds of four horse coaches started from the various west and hotels, carrying among their passengers a large number of Americans, and the roads were alive with horsemen in every conceivable kind of ve- hicle, from the gorgeous drags to the dcnkey carts of the costermongcrs, making their way to Epsom downs. An unusual- ly large number of prominent society wo- men were included in the almost innumer- ajble racing parties, and their superb toilets contributed to make the scene one of . brightness despite the lowering skies. ' There was a slight drizzle of rain at noon. The Prince Wished Good Luck. The Prince of Wales with a party arrived here by train from Victoria station just before thefirst race and was greeted with much enthusiasm. The heir apparent's party included the Princesses Victoria and Maud, his daughters; Prince Charles of Denmark, the Duke and Duchess of York, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Christian and Princess Victoria of Sleswick-Hoi- stain. the Countess of Salisbury, Mr. Leo- pold de Rothschild, owner of the Derby favorite, St. Frusquln, and the Marquis of Londonderry. As the Prince of Wales was entering his carriage at the Downs station some one in the’crowd shouted: “Good luck to you I” The prince smilingly acknowledged the good will expressed and drove to the course amid the cheers of the crowd assembled. There were many Americans present, and they became enthusiastic when Mr. Wishard’s Helen Nichols, ridden by Reiff, won the Epsom Town Plate of 103 sover— eigns for 3-year-olds and upward, dis- tance five furlongs. Royal Flush was second, and Marble was third. Eight horses run. The batting was 100 to 8 against Helen Nichols and Royal Flush and 2 to 1 against Marble. Helen Nichols made the running and won by half a length, a head separating the second and third horses. The Derby is the blue ribbon event of the English turf. Persimmon’s Derby is the one hundred and seventeenth in the history of the event. The victory of Persimmon caused a. scene of almost unparalleled enthusiasm about the race course. The prince person. ally led Persimmon to the Weighing room amid the greatest excitement and loud. and hearty cheering. The prince started racing in 1877, but was never very success- ful until 1895. and 108 years have elapsed since any Prince of Wales has won a Der- by. Curious to add, when, upon the last occasion, Sir Thomas won, there were also 11 starters. Attempted Bribery Not Proved.
