Never was there such a game of polo played in this city as tbe one last night, and never did the Henley 4 play to better advantage. They wt-nt in the game determined to win it. and they got what they went after. Even "Buck" (Bufkhannou), the crack player of the Muncie team, couldn't save the game for them, while Stevens, the new man for the Henleys, cov ered hitrsalf with glory and prob ably had much to do with wir. oing the game. The Richmond boy played the game of their lives last oight and for two or three minntea after the close ot the game, the speeta tors went wild with excitement and cheered to the echo. The enthusiasm throughout the entire game was one of unprecedented fervor, aad for one to have quietly kept his seat for one minute at a time would have been a fairy story. In the first inn tig tne bail was pounded over 'he fljor without once getting into either goal, and at the dope, tbe score was u to V. Alter a rest of three minutes the playing was again resumed, and in one-half minute, Johnson, for tho Muncie?, qiietly slipped tbe ball in the goal with a light tap with hid ptick, to tbe greatest sur prise of everyone, who were expecting Jessup. the goal tender, to ntop it without a bit of trouble. But Jessup was not looking for thoe easy rollars, but for hard drives, and before he or anyone else anew what nai happened, the bsll was safe ly landed in the goal and the score was 1 to 0 in favor of the Royb. The audience treathed a sigh of disappointment, but it was on.v Tor a minute. in exactly one minute after Muncie scored, the Hen leys turned the tables and made a goal almost exactly similar to the one made ty Muncie a few seconds bafore. The goal was made by Stevens for Rich mond and tied tne score. ibis wai what the audience wanted and they made the old building ring with cheers. In the seme inniog, just four minutes before the close, Sell made another pretty drive, atd the entire audience rose to their feet and yelled till their voices gave away, to think that the Henleys had at last got the best of the Koyals even for a minute. The minute however proved to be the rest of the game, for in tbe last innino neither side scored, leavine th final score 2 to 1 in favor of Rich-1 " Kett ree vr m wwTnW il iUCliSf redited with three fouls, which would properly make the rcore 1 to 0, but he decided to stick to the original score.

The Hen ley line-up was the same as heretofore, except that Stevens played point in the place of Oacar Williams, who was unable to play on account of illness. roLO.

The Richmoad Tra"tion company was represented by H. C.

When the eessioi opened, Mr. Oler, president of the board, stated that if there was'aiy means by which the two col flietng interests in the matter could be" brought together, the commissioners wruld like to know what each would desire, and would be pleased to have them so arrange the fran hlses they require so as to be satirfsctor) to both. In other words the commissioners d( sired that what ever franchise was granted tbe one party should not be antagonistic to the intbn ss of the other. Mr. Stiiveley, spokesman and attorney for tha eitizans' committee, ex plained what the citizens' committee wanted. He said that the oommittei was not antagonistic to the plans of the Richmond Traction company fo an extension to tbe fair grounds but were h artily ia favor of them. Ha said that the committee represented- no railroad company o: corporation and did not want tbe fran chise for a selfish purpose. They sim ply wanted to be the custodians of the fran hise, in order that when it should be given the terms of such granting might be to the best interests of the lty. They wished to take charge of the franchise as trustees to guard the local interests, business and muni cipal. If girm such custody of the franchise aSed they would gladly mak.

ONE OF THE SURVIVORS.

A rBBSj-lTi Tells f II ks Expsrls-s Is Iks Cfcilkso Anlsark. Milton Black, who lives near Punxsutauney. Pa., returned home from a journey to the gold fields of Alaska. He was caught, with 200 others, in the great snowslide In Chilkoot Pass April 3. in which Mrs. Maxson, of the same place, lost her life, and had a thrilling experience and an almost miraculous escape from death. He was buried under twenty-five feet of snow for eight hours, and via finally dug out alive, but so much the worse for the accident that he found tt Impossible to proceed on his joi rney, the long interment under the snow having so Injured his lungs as to produce violent hemorrhages. It is Interesting to hear Mr. Black tell of his experience, and of the wickedness of the average Klondiker. "As soon as you get on the trail," he says. "Sunday school is out. There's no further use for hymnbooks, and prayer-meetings are not in it," There were about two hundred people in the party with whom Mr. Black entered Chilkoot Pass. They had pitched their tents to rest and recuperate, when a snowslide came down upon them, covering their tents. After considerable labor they all managed to get out. They concluded to get through the pass as quickly as possible, and for that purpose all took hold of a long rope, with the guide in front. Mrs. Maxson, who had been covered up with snow onoo, was discouraged and hysterical. She said she would go no further. She would lie right down there and die rather than attempt to go through the pass. She was urged to take hold of the rope, but would not. Two or three stalwart men offered to carry her, saying that they would not go on aud leave a woman to die. She would not be carried. While tliey parleyed for ten minutes the second slide came, which they would have escaped had there been no delay. About a hundred of them were covered beneath twenty-five and thirty feet of snow. Those who were not caught by the slide went to work at once to dig the others out. It was a slow and ardu ous task, and out or ninety-oue persons hus buried, only seven were taken out alive. One of these was Milton Black. The slide occurred at 9 o'clock in the morning, and he remained buried until o'clock in the evening. One pecu liarity of his situation when covered up with the snow, Mr. Black says, was that he could hear Just as well as though he had been in the open air. I The groans, prayers, lamentations and curses of those beneath the avalanche were plainly audible. Some prayed 1 fervently, bade good-by to their near friends, and gave up. Others cursed heir fate, and used their last breath to utter profanity." "I made up my mind," says Mr. Black, "that I would die as I had lived, and that it was no use to pray at that stage of the game. It seemed to me that I got a breath about every five minutes. .1 had little hope of escape. but resolved to live as long as I could. The snow was jacked so tightly about me that I could not move a fraction of an inch. I thought every time I got a but I never became T-ncommciiiuirTtnit U seemed to me that I had been there at least a week when a shovel struck my shoulder and I heard a voice saying: ' 'I have struck a man. ' 'Is he dead or alive?' said another voice. ' 'I don't know,' answered the man with the shovel, and he soon had my head uncovered. When I got a good breath of air I felt that I was all right, and I said: 'There is a woman right n front of me. Dig her out, I have air now and can wait." They then proceeded to uncover Mr3. Maxson. But she was dead. You can form some idea or now scuaiy tne snow was packed." continued Mr. Black, "when tell you that when they had me all uncovered but one leg up to the shin could not get it out until the snow was all snoveied away from it, I would not go through that experience again for ail tne gold on tne Klondike." Thr Inland Sea. In the latter part of the Mesozoic age there was a great inland ocean, spreading over a large part of the present Continent. The lands then above water were covered with a flora peculiar to the times, and were inhabited by some of the animals which later distingushed the Cenozoic age. In the seas were reptiles, fishes, and turtles of gigantic proportions, armed for offence or defence. There were also oysterlike bivalves, with enormous shells, 3 or 4 feet in diameter, the meat of which would have fed many people. In time this great ocean, swarming with vigorous life, disappeared. Mountain ranges and plains gradually arose. casting forth the waters, and leaving he monsters to die and bleach in ter tiary suns. As tne waters remaining divided into smaller tracts they grad ually lost their saline stability. The stronger monsters gorged on the weaker tribes, until they, too, stranded on rising sand-bars, or lost vitality and perished as the waters freshened. In imagination we can picture the strongest, bereft of their food supply at last and floundering in the shallow pools until all remained mired or starved. It would be interesting to know how much of the great cretaceous ocean forms a part. If any, of the vast oceans of to-day. IMsmosd Giass Catters.
