T WAS A NICE
crowd nt Sports
man's park yustor-
day afternoon , and
they witnessed ono
of the most brilliant
struggles ot the
sea on.
Both teams were
on their mettle nnd
the gnmo they put
up was hard to
boat. The Pirates
_ lleldod without n
blomlnh , nn-J the Whlto Sox the next thing
to It , Governor Haves' wild throw being the
only derogatory mark against thorn.
Vlck pitched Ilko a house nilm , ns did
Cbnrllo Dowald nlso , nnd It was nip nnd
tuck which would como out with the best
of It.
The Holly Point man llnnlly nocompllshod
this by n good length.
The Holding of King Kol , Joe Vlsnor nnd
I5ob Gllks xvas a great exhibition , in foot
wns never excelled In this duchy.
Gllk& la without n doubt the poor of any
outfielder In the business , nnd In the scram-
lilo for superior talent ho should not bo over
looked.
Partner Visnor again clearly demonstrated
that bo Is about as handy a man with the
stick as tbo Western league contains. When
n good stiff poke Is necessary , the Farmer Is
generally tbo right man In the right placo.
Bob Wostlako played a line game at short ,
nnd Collopy did clean work ut third. It
would bo supererogatory to pralso Governor
Hayes , for overvbody knows ho did well.
For the visitors Oswald's pitching was the
stellar feature.
If any bed v thinks the young Clovolnndor
doesn't know n fuw tricks himself , they nro
bndlv fooled that's all.
Blii the ontlro Mauraco aggregation nro do-
norvlng of unstinted credit. Tnoy stack up
a lot of work that will win four times out of
llvo , any day.
Serad's umplrlne wns also excellent.
The two teams meet again this afternoon.

not soon by ever 1,200 people , was ono of tbo

David Dudley Field , clergyman , of Knst
Gutlford , Conn. , Is destined to p.iss Into his
tory ns the father , of the "four noted Fields , "
yet if ho h'ad noiror had n son he would have
hold a high place on his own merits. Ills
father was Captain Timothy Field , u veteran
of the revolution , nnd tno son , having gradu
ated from Yale in 1S02 , was ordained u Con-
grocatlonal minister in 1SJI.
His four sous were David Dudley , the
famous Jurist , born February ID , 1S05 ;
Stephen Johnson , now oil the supreme bench
of the United States , born November-I , tSUi ;
Cyrus Woit , born November ao , 181U , in
Stockbrldgc , Mass. . Hnd Henry Martin ,
clergyman and editor of the Now York
Evangelist , born April ! ) , 1822.
It wns soon nfter reaching his twonty-llrst
birthday , on December 2 , 1S40. tbnt ho mar
ried Miss Mnry 15rynli Stouo of Guilforrt.
Conn. They lived together n llttlo over llfty
years , audliad seven children , of whom the
younger two were Edward Morse , born July
4 , 1S ) . " > , nnd Cyrus William , DOrn March 15 ,
1S57. Ono of his two daughters married Mr. D.
A. Llndloy , recently the business associate of
Edward Morse Field nnd sufferer from events
but lee well known.
Mr. Field nad , however , tnado n consider
able start in llfo before his man-Inge , for nt
the ngo of 15 ho wont to Now Yorn und secured -
cured n plai-u in the great establishment of
A. T. Stewart. Ho worked there six years ,
nnd did not particularly Ilko it ; so snon after
attaining his majority ho begun the manufac
ture of paper , and nt the end of a dozen years
had u largo establishment , n comforlablo
fortune and some leisure for travel. In 1853
ho passed six months in travel in South
America , nnd nbout that time his brother , it
is said , suggested to him that a telegraphic
line might bo lalu across tbo Atlantic ocean.
Ills Imagination look lira at onco. His des
tiny was lixod. For the next thirteen yours
the man wns swallowed up tn the work.
Mr. Field studied the manor carefully ,
and then called In consultation Messrs. Peter
Cooper. Moaos Taylor , Marshall O. Roberts
nnd Chandler While nnd aoon hnd them
aflame equally with himself. They agreed
to lay down ? iO.OOO eachand the oraanl/ation
was nt once formed under the title of the
Now York , Newfoundland und Loudon Telo-
grapb company. David Dudley Field was
mndo Its attorney and proceeded nt oncu to
Newfoundland , whore ho secured from the
provincial legislature the exclusive right for
llfty years to lay and operate n telecrnpu
"from tbo continent of America to New
foundland and thence to England. " And
then well , everything seemed to come to a
dead standstill. The matter became a hugo
national Joko.x All the naragraphors took it
up and the "funny columns" of the news
papers were spotted with little gems Ilko
this :
llold Cyrus Field , ho says , says ho ,
I've iot a pretty notion
That 1 can lay a telegraph
Across the Atlantic ocean.
It would be a woarlsomo task to go over the
details of the next four year * , of Mr. Field's
many Journeys ucron the Atlantic ana his
llnal success In getting the needed funds.
Sufllco it thn , on the 20th of Juno , 1837 ,
the United States steamship Niagara nnd
the British steamer Agamemnon took nach
Its half of tbo cable In midocean und com
menced laying toward its own coast. Tbo
wire soon broke , and broke again , nnu yet
again , and so that plan was a lailuro. In
August the Niagara started ngaln nt Valon-
tia bay , nnd had paid out 831 miles wbon thn
cable broke again. Thou the fun grow loud
nnd furious. Tbo Illustrated press gave cartoons
teens of tbo submarine monsters playing
with tbu cablo.
In 1S.VJ tbo cable was actually Inlil.tho ves
sels arriving at their destinations July 29
ana August 0. A few massages passed and
there was an International hurrah. Than all
communication ceased and for seven years
nothing was dono. The civil war absorbed
the energies of the pcoolo. But ull that tune
Mr. Field and his subordinates were oxporl-
mcntiug , and at last a cable was devised
which , In the opinion of exports , might lie
under salt water a thousand years without
injury. Tbo famous leviathan steamer , tbo
Great Eastern , was then employed , anu this
tlmo , In 1S05 , tbo cabin Drolio.
Still tbo Indefatigable Cyrus kept the Hold.
And now a system ot tanks , trolleys , drums
and rogulatlng wheels was established on
the steamer no complicated that a description
would 1111 two columns. The effect wns that
no matter how rough the weather might ho
tha cable could bo pulil out with perfect reg
ularity nnd wltlout slack or strain. The
rest Is known. On tbo 1'lth of July tlio
Uroat Eastern started fron : the Irish coast ,
and on the 27th grounded the American end
of the cable nt Heart's Content , Nowfouna-
land. Us operation was perfect , .
Then all Europe and America broke forth
In glad acclaim nnd Cvrus Flold wus over
whelmed. There worn dispatches of con
gratulation from Gladstone ) nnd from His-
murck , from the queen , tflo president'and
the French oinparor , nnd last , but most
wonderful , perhaps , nnu from Ferdinand do
Lossops at Alexandria , Egypt , which was
sent atliO ; : p. m. and reached Newfound
land nt 10 a. m. tha snmo day.
For weeks thereafter Mr. Field's lifo wns
a continuous ovation. Old readers recall
with enthusiasm tbo banquets , the songs , tbo
processions and stilt moro the cartoons nnd
joues. Congress voted him u gold modal and
the national thanks. England und Franco
followed with votes , thanks and medals.
John Bright in the British Parliament ex
pressed his profound regret that the consti
tutions of tbo two nations stood in the way
of conferring on Mr. Field the highest hon
ors In the power of the qtioon. Tbo nuuo-

ono of Honor nnd dignity. In 1609 bo ropro-
uentcd the Now York chamber of commerce
at the opening of the Suez canal. In 1STO ho
began his work ot developing the elevated
railway system of Now York. In 18SO he
started on his tour around the world ,
The olovatpd railroads nearly proved the
ruin of Mr. Field. Ho had hud largo holds
of "Manhattan L" stock In conjunction'wltu
Satnuol J , Tlldan , and the litter sold to Jay
Gould. At that tlmo Mr , Field's wealth was
estimated at $4,600,000 , whllo Gould's was
probably twenty times as much , und thn Int-
tor organized an Immense 'Mquoozo. " Mr.
Field bad u "corner" and hold bis stock at

call in nil his loans , and money booamo ao
scarce that Mr. Flold could not "put up mar
gins" on tbo immense amount of stook ho
was holding.
The result was that Mr. Mold turned over
70,000 shares of ManhaitAu to Mr. Gould. At

It has seemed to mo that wo nro tailing on

nnd tno demand for economy so great that
this system Is inevitable. Perhaps it throus
the pupil more upon himself , nnd out ot this
