AYELCOMIXG THE GOVERNOR

A Brilliant Eeception and Review by the Indian Legion at Camp Hovey. The ShowinjrMade by the State Militia in General To-Daj's Programme for the Benefit of Visitors Notes and Incidents. The elements, xrhich were not in accord vrith the reception of the Governor, at Camp Hovey, on Friday last proved favorable yesterday, and the, programme as originally planned, was carried out vrith finish and perfection that reflected credit alike on commanders and commanded. The heavy rain of day before yesterday laid the dust on all the roads leading to and through' the encampment, and tho long lines of white tents stood ont in bold relief from the emerald turf, freshened by the reviving showers. All the morning the company commanders were busy preparing for the grand review and the inspection of tho camp by Lieut Pickering, U. S. A., who -was detailed by the Secretary of War for that purpose gave opportunity for each company to exhibit its best drill work as well as to ehov the care with which its quarters were arranged and maintained. Long before the hour appointed for the review the portion of the parade cround aet apart for visitors was filled with spectators, the south and east sides being lined with long rows of carriages, and the wooded kunlls at tho edgo of the woods being fully occupied by those who came out from tho city on the trains which ran hourly from the city. Governor Hover and his staff arrived promptly at 3 o'clock, and, after being received at brigade headquarters, was driven to the reviewing station near the center of the parade ground, escorted by his staff and a detail of mounted orderlies. The infantry troops were already formed in tho company streets, and the artillery formed where the guns were parked on the hill which overlooks the camp, and there was no delay in forming the line. When the bugle gave tho signal each regiment marched south from its headquarters and took its nlace, the First llcgixncnt. under Colonel 11c Bride, having the right of the line, the Second Kegiment, under Colonel McKee, having the center and the Third, under Colonel Kwing, taking a position on the left. Following theso the artillery came down the hill on a swinging trot, the men hanging onto tho jolting gun-carriages of the two batteries and those on the horses having hard work to control the teams, most of which had only seen nervice in agricultural pursuits and would have felt more at homo at the end of a plow-line. There was not room enough on the ground to place the batteries in line at the left of the infantry, and they took np a position on the west side of tho field, forming an L, with the long lino extending eastwardly and the shorter one reaching north toward tho camp. The scene at this time was an inspiring one. lletween each regiment the bands and color sergeants were stationed, breaking the solid line of blue with their brighter uniforms, and in the open space in the front and rear of the regiments xnountld ofiicers, with glittering uniforms and waving plumes, dashed backward and forward, giving their final instructions. Midway between the lino and the Governor's position General Kuckle and his stall' formed and saluted, and after a brief exhibition of the manual of arms, in which remarkable precision was shown, the brigade was formed in column bj companies, and. to tho Hiirring music of tho three bands, the march was begun. To those who havo witnessed the field movements of the troops in camp during the past week, the improvement in the brigade movements of yesterday was a source of much satisfaction. The men iu lino, encouraged by the interest manifested in their work by tho visitors, were on their mettle and gave an exhibition alike creditable to themselves and tho State, marching like veterans, each regiment swung by the Governor's carriage and saluted, the step and alignment of each being admirable, and the distances being uniform and well preserved. As the head of the column reached the Governor's position. General Kuckle and his aids joined the Governor's staff, and as each regiment approached, its colonel reported, joiniug his command again as its rear rank passed tho point of review. To discriminate between the marching of the various regiments would be invidious, considering the fact that each did well. The Third, by reason of its greater strength, made the most imposing display, but the appearance of particular companies showed that hard work and a determination to excel had not been wasted. The .most interesting display was madobythe batteries, which brought np the rear of the column, and their marching, as well as that of tho colored companies and the youngsters of Company C, of the Second Kegimeut, was enthusiastically commended by the reviewing ollicers. A fow battalion movements closed tho review, and at its .termination the Governor expressed his hearty satisfaction with the manner in which it had been conducted. The dress parade, for which most of the visitors lingered, was as much appreciated as tho review which preceded it, and with this exhibition, and the battery drill which followed it, the exercises of tho day ended. To-morrow there will be no duty; exacted, excepting tbe guard mounting in the morning and the dress parade in the evening, and general liberty will bo given the men in camp between these hours, but it is not likely that many of them will take advantage of leavo to absent themselves from camp. Chaplain Parr, of the Third Kegiuieut, will hold services and preach a sermon to the brigade at 10:50 a. m., and as this will have the effect of bringing visitors to camp earlier than usual, tho prospect of seeing them and enjoying an easy day in quarters will probably keep most of tho boys at home. 1 here will be a 0 o'clock train from the Union Station this morning, and with this and tho hourly trains, beginning atl:iX) in the aft?rnoou, the capacity of the camp-grounds is likely to be tested to-day. Encampment Notes. Poroe few companies are lively to break camp to-nlglit, and all of them will vanish from tho scene to-morrow. Captain Tarlton' company, of tho Second lieeiment, will accompany the Governor nnd the fctato officers to tho unveiling of tbe soldiers monument at Elkhart on the 24th of next month. Many of the members of the Legion from other portions of tho State express their deslro to attend the laving of the corner-stone of the soldiers' and sailors monument la this city on the L'Jid of August. Lat n!ht the Flrt IJejtfment Artillery band, fmm FL Wayne, under the leadership of Captain Offenbach, serenaded tto Journal office. The band consists of seventeen pltecs, and was escorted by Lieut. W. W. Mungcr, Company i:. Light Artillery. ' There ere some few eases of Molmess among the men in camp, but they are remarkably few, considering tho heat and tho unaccustomed bard work that ha been performed bv many members of the Leplon. Most of the cases are attributed to imprudence lu eating and exposure to the sun, and none of them are likely to prove serious. ME GAME OP BILLIARDS. Pool lias Been Unable to Supplant ItThe Value of Ivory (her Celluloid Balk The game of billiards is again becoming popular. "Most of tho prominent people are coming back to tho game," remarked Ed McGinnis, a well-knownauthoritv, "and there is less and less interest taken in pool. Two or three years ago pool-playing was all tho rage, but in all iirst-classbilliardrooms it no longer takes precedence over legitimate billiards. There is more pool-playing during tho winter holidays with us than at any other time, chiefly owing to the presence of large numbers of college boys; but older persons, men abont town, prefer billiards as a scientitio frame requiring skilL There are really only two or three tirst-class billiard-places in this city. The pool-playing being about saloons, where checks are given for drinks, and it is encouraged for tho good it does to the bar. First-class places don't give pool cheeks, but require the games to bo paid for without giving any bonus in the way of checks. Pin-pool is not played. It is a game for money a Cogaae, eo much a corner, and tho police

would interfere. Unt in ctU- cities tho pin-pool tables are tho most prt stable." "What docs It cost to play biliiardsr asked the reporter. . "It costs less to play in Indiana -pobs tb-an in most cities. The char go here is i cents a game, or forty cents an hour, wniiejv Cincinnati and Chicago 50 cent and GO cents are the prevalent prices. In St. .Louis a fight is on among the billiard-rooms', and the charge is only 2h cents X cue. or 2.J cents an hour, but that will not last long.'; "Is the four-ball billiard game played any nowf . , , . . , "Seldom, except by old fogies or en rners. Many base-ball men are fine billiard-players. Anson plays a rlrst-class game, and Healey plays well. GIscock loves the game, and so does Henry Boyle, and ttrey both play a gTeat deal, but not during the season it's a winter diversion for most of tho ball-players: Yon notiee that billiard cues are more stylish than they used to be, and they are more durable- First-class cues havo ivory tips, which prevent them from splitting. In size the points arc smaller than they were a while ago. the majority of players preferring small points. Good cues aro worth f onr or Jive dollars now, but often players will ha-ve private cues worth from $15 to $25 each. They are jointed sticks of rare woods, and all that sort of thing." "Have the celluloid spheres ever taken the place of ivory on billiard tables?7 "No, they are not satisfactory. Tniy will do for pool, but not for billiards; they lack the elasticity of ivory, liven for pool ivory balls are preferable. A ptwl set ot ivory costs from $65 to $100, while a composition, or celluloid set can be bought for $35. Ivory billiard balls have to bo seasoned. If I were to lay n set of ivory balls on the table as soon as they arrive and allow them to be played with, they would crack and chip, and soon be ruined. We allow them to lie about the room to season, to get the temperature of the place, as it were. The balls at the Hates could not be taken to the New Denisou or Gtand. and their ivories could not be brought to the Bates and put on theso tables without sovne lo6 by cracking. Singular, isn't it? Weil, it's true." "Where is the table covering madef" "In Franco? it is broadcloth. Soine people have an idea the cloth ought to bo green, and that any other color would hurt the eyes. But

billiard men are getting out of that notion and a novelty is talked of to have the cloths, say wnere there aro a number of tables six, eightorten of different colors, red, green, blue, "white, yellow, etc. I think the idea a good one, and it would crive the room a cheerful variety in color. There are quite a number of private billiard tables about the city, twenty-five or thirty, including those in club-rooms. By the way. Indianapolis has no noted professionals any more, though she has given to the world at least two who are eminent. The first of these was poor Johnny McDevitt, who lost his life in the Chicago lire, and the other was Jacob bchafer who began here as a marker in a saloon at the corner of Washington and East streets, many years ago. All the other noted players who came after Jacob have gone away. There was Bussey, who had some reputation; then Jack Garrett, now at Frankfort; Parker Byers. now at Lafayette; John Guisey, who is in Cincinnati, and Charles Carney, who went to Cleveland. Yes, they have gone away, but the game remains, and is again growing into popularity." INSANE ASiLUM CONTRACTS. Some of the Methods of the Old Board Apparently Retained by the New Management. Men may change, and men may go, at the Insane Hospital, but Democratic butter contracts seem to go on there forever. It will be remembered that under tho old regime it proved impossible for any dealer in that article to get a contract with the Insane Asylum management except thelato late lamented John E. Sullivan and the firm of Budd &. Co. Between these two Democratic bidders the contracts wero divided in a manner which seemed to bo mutually satisfactory to the two, and profoundly disgusting to outsiders who offered lower prices and got no consideration. The same state of affairs seems to be perpetuated under the new management, except that Mr, Sullivan, having vanished from the scene, there is no occasion for paying attention to him. The bids for produce wanted at the hospital last month were as follows: Bristor fc Co Butter, 124C; chickens, 15c; egi?s, 13o. lmdd & Co Butter, 13c; chickens, 16c; eggs, 12sc. Arthur Jordan Butter, 15c; chickens, 15c; egjrs, 12e. Thomas Cottreil Butter, 13 44-100c; chickens, 13 b-MUOc; eggs, 11 84-lOOc. For the present month the bids, as opened last Friday, showed the following: Bristor & Co. 4,500 pounds of butter at 1 1 cents $528.75 2,000 pounds of spring chickens at 13 cent 800.00 4,000 dozen fresh candled eggs at 12 cenU. 4B0.00 Total $1,303.73 Arthur Jordan. 4,500 pounds of butter at 14 cents $052.50 2,000 pounds ot spring chickens at 13 cent - 260.00 4,000 dozen candled eggs at llh cents. 4(30.00 Total $1,372.50 Hiidd it Co. 4,500 pounds of butter at 10 cents...... $720.00 2,000 pounds of spring chickens at 13 rent? 2C0.00 4,000 dozen candled eggs at llao 400.00 Total $1,440.00 Thomas Cottreil. 4,500 pounds of butter at 14 23-100 cents $010.23 2,000 pounds of spring chickens at 14 73-100 cents 294.C0 4,000 dozen candied eggs at 11 83-100 . cents 473.20 ; Total .....$1,409.15 Johnson Company Creamery, Franklin, Ind. 4,500 pounds of butter at 18 cents $310.00 The awards for last mouth and this month were awarded to Budd & Co., although their prices, as will bo seen by tho foregoing bids, are considerably higher than those offered by others for tho same articles, and now the competitors of Messrs. Budd & Co., including Democratic as well as Kepublican bidders, are wondering what the purposes of the hospital management may be in advertising for bids if it is intended to give tho contracts to a particnlar firm irrespective of the figures ollered. One explanation offered by Superintendent W right is that the contracts are awarded on sample, and not on price alone, and in reply to this it is stated that last month Budd & Co.'s card was accidentally placed on Bristor fc Co. 's sample of butter, and Mr. Budd got tho contract at 13ccnts,whilo Bristor & Co.'s bid was 123 cents. Discontinued Their Efforts. On account of the trouble over railway rates to Milwaukee, the O. A. 11 committee and Board or Trade have decided to make no further efforts at present lu securing the (2 rand Army National Eucanipnient for this city next year. ( Office desks at Wm. L. Elder's.
