OF le as appreciated and yet most thoroughly enjoyable games, to participant and spectator alike, is lacrosse. Why it has never been more popular in tho ni to States, why not generally taken up, as baseball and football have been, is a question I have asked myself very in its mrancy. Lacrosse originally bore the name which each tribe of Indiana gave to a ball. The Iroquois, who were counted to be the most skillful players in those early days, called the game Tohont- shiksakeks; the Algonquius.

I think- those who have seen lacrosse played will agree with me that, especially for the spectator, it has, even more charms than our two most popular games, football and baseball. It is a sport in which every player on each side is being- called upon, iiud always with a chance for brilliant work. It differs from football in being absolutely intelligible to the most uninformed layman, and from baseball in giving morn opportunities for play to more men on the eame side simultaneously. So far as its beneficial properties as a general, healthful, und vigorous sport go, I really think, from an all-around point of view, that there is no game thatcx- There not remedial agent In the world tlmt core and Ague and all other Malarious, Bllloos, and other Fevers, aided by Railway's Hills, so qnlcklj us Rndwnj's Bead; Belief.

As for the spectator, there is no game in tho world so attractive. It is simplicity itself, and one may divine its purport with the very first game one sees. It abounds in open and beautiful plays, and tho onlooker sees tho pretty stops of goal-keepers, the long throws ftnd checking of the defensive players, tho fast running and dodging of tho centers, and the clever tipping and stick work of the attacks. It has been asserted that lacrosse resembles, and may possibly havo its origin in, tho Irish game of coman, but careful research fails to discover anything moro than the generic re- Bemblnnco which exists between all games played with ball and bat Lacrosse is ttu Indian game, and, like the Indians themselves, from whom we derive it, its origin fades into obscurity. It is an impossibility to learn anything of its very early history.

Tho Indians know nothing save what has been handed down to them from generation to generation, and that little has been very imperfectly preserved. Even their traditions of lacrosse are scarce. They know only that tho game has come down to them from father to son, as have their customs. Nor are we much enlightened by tho whites, and arc obliged to accept the very little actually known of the game's early history, bearing in mind that the relations of Indians and the early white settlors were rather of a bellicose than a sporting nature, and our forefathers more likely to be familiar with tho weapons of the Indians than with their instruments of recreation. The most satisfactory record of the early history of lacrosse is the result of Mr.

W. G-. Beers' research. His little pamphlet put forth in 1800 was tho first publication, I believe, of tho game, and about twenty years later, after much careful study, he brought out tho best volume on tho subject we have ever had, and from which wo gather most.

With no written history and such names to burden it, small woiuler the early record of the g-arac is wanting. It may be consoling 1 in a legree, however, to know that the simplicity of the first gu.mn precludes there bcinp a great deal ba.uk of what tve havo hy persistent gropinp become possessed of. It must have been and was a simple form the Indians followed in their earliest understood by studying- our present play.

Of one tiling we arc certainly assured, the early Indian game could not have been more vigorous. It was practically a combat, requiring union of undaunted and endurance. There was no limit to the number of participants, sometimes HuO, SOO, and even 1.000 players engaging in the play, while the Held was equally changeable, averaging all the way from fjQO yards to one-half mile in length, in accordance with the number of players. Tho goal, as has already been said, was a single polo or a convenient rock or tree. Some tribes required the ball to be thrown past the goal-line, others that the pole or rock bo struck by the ball; still others again used the two-pole goal, in which case it was necessary to send the hall between thu posts, as with the game of to-day.

Differing from the games of tho an- cieuts, lacrosse of the Indians was not of a religious nature, nor had it any connection whatsoever with superstitious rites in worship of the Great Spirit, It was decidedly a sport from first to last, and one in which the impetuosity and vigor of a wild nature were let loose. It developed nature's athletes in the highest degree, and gave young warriors a hardy lesson in close and vigorous combat. Kegular tournaments were held from time to time, to which the members of different tribes gathered from far and near. At other times there were great matches of tribes against tribes, or villages against villages, and those very often were attended with quite an elaborate ceremony the night before the competition. Such matches consisted sometimes of even as many as one hundred games, and lasted several days.

It is amusing to note a resemblance between those first lacrosse players and our football players of to-day in keeping the spectators on tiptoe for a g-limpse of the gladiators before the affray. It was traditional -with the Indians for the players to keep religiously out of sight of spectators until the umpire called time, when they came on the field with much shouting and parading of might. So to-day it is equally the custom for the football eleven to remain in their dressing room until shortly before the time of play, when they trot out on tho field amid tho cheers of their sympathizers. And there was even some training in those early days. The players that had been chosen for the contest refrained from ail excesses for about two weeks boforo the match; but it will open the eyes of present-day authorities on training- to know that these same Indians spent tho night before their great struggle in dancing and singing, and othei antics of like description.

The game was started by the umpire's throwing the ball in tho air, on which there was a general scramble for its recovery. And what a game it must have been! Everything was jiom accounts, astonishing. It goes without saying that the game was not so scientific as that of to-dny. Rather it was one which chiclly tested the speed and wind, and was, indeed, intended to be a training teliool for thu warrior. It was not as usual thing known as a dodging game, but it became KO when necessary.

Even to-day in their advanced form the Indians do not play so self ntiliu game as do the whites. Nor is it fact that all Indians are pond players, though tin' L'Xpcrlnoss of Indian boys is surprising; bsil tlk'y appear to hnvua nat- ural aptitude for tho game, and ucr- i tainly briiuyhl toy-ether their I best teams suem to have inure wind than Lhe pale-faced opponents. Although the tribes varied in the style of their cross und tho game nevertheless preserved its general character. The cross ot thu Choctaws, pewas, Chcrokeus and the Crocks was three foot long, with an oblong ioop about three by twti inches, which jnst about large enough to hold thu ball. That of the Sues, Sioux, Ojib- wuys.

L'ukotas and mies wuy of the snmc length, with a round loop twelve inches in diameter. Hoth of tiiese were bagged to hold the ball, and some times highly ornamented with feathers, etc. At first the strings were small roots of spruce tree, but aftorwui-d of doer skin. The Choctaws, Chippewas. Ohcrolcees and Creeks carried two of these sticks, one in each the ball being caught and carried between them.

Tho original ball was of deer skin, stuffed with hair and sewed with sinews, or it was a knot fashioned round, or ball made from the bark of a pine tree. Thus it the Indians plnyed the yame probably generations before the whites over saw it. CAsr.ut W. WHITNEY. ENGLAND'S JUMPER.

The agile linglishman was born in Dudley, Worcestershire, thirty-two years ago, but subsequently moved to Tipton, which has been his headquarters for the past twenty years. In his street attire he looks too heavy for an athlete, and the modesty of his bearing adds to the deception. When stripped, however, .1 glance serves to convince the most casual observer that 1'arker's development is just what is claimed. Parker's admirers claim that he is without a peer at standing forward, standing backward, and standing high jumping-. If there is any man in tbis country who thinks that lie can beat this Englishman a challenge and deposit will be promptly responded to by Tarker and his backers.

The latter declare they will contribute or upward toward a stake. Parker says that any jumper who has more ambition than money can be accommodated with a friendly match. The exceptional feats which, the Englishman claims to have accomplished un- 'der fair conditions include the following Ten standing jumps, with weights, feet. The best recorded performance is 213 feet inches by M. Ford, Brooklyn, July IS, 1S80.

The name of Herrmann, in connoc tion with conjuring-, is a century old, and has been handsd from father to son, find from brother to brother, the subject of this sketch being twenty-five years the junior of his brother, Carl Herrmann. Alexander Herrmann made his first American appearance, in conjunction with his brother Carl, at the Academy of Music, New York, in HiOO-nl, where in seventy-live nights they clayed toenormous profits and met with a success, it is claimed, without a parallel in the history of magical entertainments. The two brothers, after a tour of the world, separated, but formed another co- partnership and made a successful tour of this country, after which the elder brother retired from tho business. The younger brother, the subject of this sketch, has continued the business ever since, visiting the principal cities of Brazil ond other South American countries, and returning to the United- States in 18 after having appeared for one thousand consecutive nights at the Egyptian hall, London, Eng.
