The latest fad for banquets and lunches is
the "triangular table. " Tince long tables
arc arranged in the form of a triangle , and
in the center is a lound tab'u ' bearing the
lloial centerpiece , the ojica space being tilled
in with foliage and plants. The host or host
ess is seated in the center of the b isu of the
triangle , and to bis or her left and right uro
the favored guests. Tlio others are seated
upon the other sides of the tiiangle , und the
beauty of the arrangement is that all of them
face the host or hostess. The hostess , with

the base of the triangle , and two ladies sat
facing her at each of the other two sides.

Sport I tic Forecast.
St. Louis Globo-Domoi-rat : Although
the base ball season is over , interest in
the game is by no means dead. The
annual meetings of tlio league and asso
ciations arc being looked forward to
with the greatest intoiost on account of
changes in the base ball world which it
is rumored will thou bo brought to
light. That there will bo ohanges there
can bo no question , but they will not beef
of biich a startling nature that the base
ball world will be astonished. It is
about certain that Cleveland will go
into the league. Failing in this , it is
claimed that tlie Forest City will have
no professional base ball next jour. It
is reported from an authentic source
that Washington is teaching out for
I'lovcland'b place in the association.
It can ha\o it if it wants it. The
e.\chango of ( . 'lev eland for Washing
ton would have but little elToct on
the make-up of either the League or
Association. Doth the above chilis
wore practically tail-enders , and have
during their period of existence only
furnished the padding nocossiry incom
plete a circuit. Neither has cut a liguro
in its respective race. A question
which hat , boon botheiiug the babe ball
magnates for some time is "how to in
crease the battingy" This has boon
discussed fiom ocean to ocean in the
past si\ months and no solution has yet
been readied. It is moro than prob
able that the low and high ball will bo
rcadopted next season. There can bo
no question that this is a great advan
tage and would aid tlio batters mater
ially. While it would make the um
pires' duties more arduous , it would re
lieve the game of tiresome pitchers'
buttles. Then , too , a bioadening of
tlie foul lines would add materially to
the number of clean hits.
At the annual meeting of tlie Asso
ciation the oth of ne\t moatli , tlie an
nual mooting of the 15aso Ball Kopor-
tors' association will also bo hold. Al
though tlio association is but a year old.
it promises to become a potont'factor in
tlio base ball legislation of the country ,
and has already made its inllnonco felt.
Us object is to iissibt the rules committee -
too in pot feeling the playing rules , and
transact any other business connected
with the game that might come under
its junMliction.
Racing has been started at New Or
leans , and will continue almost without
interruption throughout the winter.
The extent to which racing is carried
on in this country may bo gained when
it is lomcmborcd that , although winter
is upon iw , there is i.icing in the east ,
south and on the Pacific coast. Tlio
racing at Clifton and Guttonborgthanks
to the open winter so far , has been free
fror.i objectionable features. Later ,
when the snows of winter fall , the spec
tacle will bo presented of overtrained
brutes ploughing through the snow over
a miboiable track for a small purso.
Tlio projoctois of these meetings and
the ovvnern of the poor brutes who run
should bo arrested for cruelty to ani-
tllllls.
Those who predicted that pugilism
was on the wane have hardly been berne
out in fact. The winter promises to bean
an extremely lively one , both locally
and in tlio centers of pugilism. It t's
remarkable that the twooAtromo points
of tlio union New York and San Kr.in-
cisco sliould now bo the scone of tlio
great pugilistic events. There are no
loss than three lights now on at Frisco
between heavy weights , light weights
and bantams. Jackson and MeAulirTo
are hard tit work for their nmteh.which
conies oil in December. .McAnlillo will
win , but not until he has longht for
some time. Jackson is both game and
hcientilio , and will take a deal of
whipping , The light between
McCaffrey and Killon is a
go. Dominick has now como
against tlio hardest man lie over mot
with the exception of John L. Klllen is
a man of herculean tUrongth and clever
at that , and when lie lands something
has to drop , Tlio Northwest Mvear by
him , and if McCalTioy can whip him lie
can take a deal of money out of St. Paul
and Minneapolis. Tlie articles in tlio
Mvor-MeAuliiro light have boon signed
at last , and tlie light will take place
somewhere botwcen Stroator ami St ,
Louis , in December. The McAulilTo
party was sensible to como West. Tlio
Strcator people do not want any the
best of it , and no interference will bo
had from roughs or thugs. Stroator
will go broke on Meyer , and , as the
Kiibtorn sporting men think McAulillo
can whip any light-weight living , tlio
light promises to produce the liveliest
betting over soon at a ring bido. The
local pugs nro getting ready for an
active winter. Tlio time for tlio Daly-
McManus light is approaching , and
both moii are training hard for the
event. Daly is the favorite , but
MeMtinus will give him a bettor light
than BOino people imagine. Ho is awlc-
ard in his movements , but bomotimcs
the most awkard men arc the hardest
to roach. The Flint-ZaehriU light is
receiving some attention. Flint sliould
whip XachriU , although the latter will
keep him busy for several roundu at
least.
The p'10M' ' ° ct3 are bright for a race
between Johnson and liothuno and the
former and Quirk. Johneoii is a pecu
liar runno' % There are days when no
man living can beat him , but ho is apt
at times to bo olT ills form. II ho moots
Hethuno nnd is right ho will boat the
blonde champion , although the race
will bo worth going miles to bee.

no reason why the power to make the lower

commissioned ollteers in the army arc elig
ible for membership , and these must have
untninished iccoids both as business and
professional men as well .is soldiers'and as a
consequence the members of the I-onl Le
gion move in the best social cuulcs every
where.
The early part of the evening was spent in

Mr. ICelly responded to the llrst toast ,
"The Union and Constitution , " and briefly
'raced the history of the inseparable pair ,
and showed how in IMil it was devotion to
the constitution and love of country that
piompted the men of the north to encounter
the peiita anu liardf > hii | of war. It is the
duty of the Ameiican citi/en to commend the
study of thu constitution and duvotion to the
country to futuie generations.
Robert W. I'atnck lespomled to ttio toast
'The President of tlio United States , " nnu

faculty displaced by the common soldiers in
the late wai. Ho cited General John A ,
Logan as the best example of the volunteer
soldier , and could notiefialn fiom speaking
a ( word of praise for the bravery of Piesi-
Ucnt-elect Hairison while a soldier.
