Of course. ladioB belong to each of tho latter clubs for what would ten- nis bo without tho girls ? and each club do- votes one evening a week to its favorito sport. The Knickerbocker Howling Club, which is tho most fashionnblo.of all tho organiza tions of its class, will .y-JO not comincnco its Wfrl k regular meetings until '"v Lent.

The idea of postponing activo athletics until Lent is regarded by all tho members as ovidenco of tho largo nnd wcll.proportionod i lieodB of the Exccutivo Committee, which proposed tho scheme.

After tho round of dissipation, which for tho present season promises, if anything, to be moro exhausting than usual, tho need of somo reactionary treatment will certainly bo folt. Then bowling and tennis will bo just tho thing to strengthen tho ro ' laxed museles, and tone up tho system that has been worn out by late hours, Wagnerian opera and innumerable champagne suppers at Delmonico's.

Tho lino runs between tho station on tho Brooklyn Elevatod Hallroad at Alabama avonuo and tho proposed terminus at Smith street, in Jamaica, at its junction with Ful. ton street, tho main thoroughfaro of tho villago. The company operating tho now road has built ton electrio railways in this country and Canada, all of which aro now in successful operation.

Tho machinery for propelling tho car is simple It is under tho control of tho con. ductor, who stops or starts tho car or rogu latcs tho speed with a touch. Tho current of electricity is producod by a powerful Btcam engino and conveyed to tho cars in transit by moans of two heavy copper wiros supported by polos and passing over tho roadway its en. tiro length. From each of thoso a wiro descends to tho motor, which is placed in tho forward part of tho car, and is carried along over tho top of tho conducting cablo by a pulley or groovod wheel running ovor it liko a car-wheel on its rail. Tho road is six miles in length. Tho engino which f uriiishos tho power is located at tho old car stables, about midway botween its termini. Tho road will bo lightod with are lights.

TOO BUSY TO REGISTER FARES. That niny Have Deen tho Ilcnaon Why the Conductor Pocketed Mont or Them. " I had always held bell punches, street, car registers and spotters in detestation, and had an enduring faith in tho honesty of man, until I mado an early morning trip down town tho other day," said a downtown mer chant. " My journey was made on a surfaco car, and my observations of the conductor led mo to tho conclusion that all of tho do. vices for preventing thoft by employees aro justifiable, yet unavailing. " I boarded the car at Thirteenth street and found myself ono of thirty-two passengers. I havo no idea of knowing how many moro had boarded and left tho car in its long jour, noy down to that point. Tho conductor Btoppod in his perusal of a morning news paper long enough to collect my faro and re. sumed his seat on tho rear rail and his scan, ning of the day's nows. Tho bell of the fare register did not ring, and I glanced at the dial to find that, according to tho conductor's record, ho had counted but nino passengers on the down trip. This was tho boldest bit of ' knocking down I evor saw. Only nino registered when fifteen boarded tho car at ono stop ! I don't blame the railway corpora, tious for thoir precautions." Mr. Potter Promtird Not to UIm. From a Jftta Yorlc Lttttr. Mrs. James Brown-Potter promised her husband, Juit before her dlbut here as a professional actress, that sho wonld never allow her mimic loveri of the tage to klu her. That 1b what her acquaintances in society say, and tbe story U clrcamttaMlally proven before her audiences. In the first play In which she was a heroine the courtship did not re Bult In marriage, nor even In a sentimental sur render, and so tho absenco of Hasina did not at tract much attention. But It w&g different In the ensuing piece. There she was the intensely beloved wlfo ot tho hero, and at the outlet they wero repre sented as meeting after month! of separation. They rushed at each other, as husband and wife might naturally be expected to; they embraced af fectionately, they held passionate discourses for a quarter of an hour, and then they reluctantly parted again, bnt neither In the greeting nor the good-by was a kiss exchanged, lira. Potter per mitted a hng and a few caresses, but the lips of her supposed husband never touched her face. It was cunons to observe how quickly the audience, cren to tho least sophisticated, took note of the lack or the reasonable action. Comment on that point buzzed all over the house. i Tery Fanny for Tom. fVom LV: Intimate Friend Have you been enjoying your' honeymoon at Old Point Comfort T Heiress (lately married) Yea, we've been there; bnt, do you know, I overheard Tom tell a friend of his it was 'harvest-moon" with him Instead of "honeymoon."

But I boliovo tho inhabitants of heaven have a different and highor standard of distinguish ing between good and evil than we have hero on earth. In order to render my meaning clearer I will toll you a story which I heard a short timo ago and which it seems to me might bo applicablo to tho caso of tho lamented Duchess. It is as follows: "Tho soul of the Baroness A. had bid farewell to tho earth. Literally drenched with holy wator and providod with any number of absolutions and plenary in dulgences, sho arrived at tho gates of Para dise. Sho flattered herself that sho would be received with open arms, and was disagree, ably surprised when St. Peter mado his ap. pearance and, addressing bor in a gruff tono, exclaimed : ' What do you want here V " ' I ani tho Baroness A, and I wish to enter ParodiM.1 " Oho I exclaimed St. Peter, 'Do you imagine that it is so easy to get into heaven ? I supposo you wish to escapo purgatory ? If so, what aro tho grounds ou which yon base your demand ?' " ' Tho grounds,' oxoiaimed the Baroness, ' horo thoy aro contained in this book,' and with that sho extricated a thick volume from the satohel which sho curriod in hor hand.

Ho drew such n touching picture of tho misery which this charity was to abolish that Miss Grubb's eyes filled with tears. " Oh, I am so sorry," sho Raid, putting her hand in her pocket, " that I was out when you first colled, but I havo been extremely busy rehoarsing." "Rehearsing!" oxclaimod tho subscription gatherer, his eyos Btarting from his fiend. ''You aro not an actress ?" This with posi tive terror in his voice Mrs. Haymau opened an album on her tablo and pointed to a portrait of herself with tho uatno " Miss Lillinn Orubb" underneath. It acted in a strango way upon tho visitor. Ho seized his hat, started straight for tho door, rushed down stairs and was scon no moro. Not a word of explanation did ho offer.

New York Is a roattneo city, and o inatlnco nudlcuco could be told from an evening gathering If jou ircrc to meet them In the FIJI Inlands. Your matlceo people, In the first place, are almost all of them feminine. In the sec ond place, they aro nil lu tailor gowns. Ono goes to tho theatro In the evening to sco dress. In thonfternoon there Is none to sec. You can't tell tho Kltth svenne belles lu tho boxes, so far as gowns K, from the Kaet shlo xhop girls who look down from tho gallery.

A inutluee Is curiously restrained, cautiously dignified as to lis dress, but women who havo been shopping carry their bundles, school girls drop In with books on their urm mid tho pencil marks not washed oft their runs, and peo ple who want to indulge moro or less openly lu caramels. To the nctor tho matinee Is a Mack terror. Ho Is painfully conscious of tho absenco ot tho critics, the literati ; thcro aro no heavy swells, muscullno or feminine, no familiar faocs, nothing brilliant to catch tho ore In the house. Tno actress doesn't hold tho nftcrnoon perform ances lu qultu such honor, because sho Is shrewd enough to know Unit tho cohorts ot boarding school mlscs irom out of town vv lm havo dreamed all tho week of tho footlights, who ndoruModJeska'a grace nnd Hone Uoglilnn's coquettish Bsuclncss and Annlo l'lxley's diamonds and Mrs. rollers gowiH ; to whom tho glitter of puste Is tho shlno of old mine Jewels, nnd whose hearts swtll with admiration or burst with envy at the frou-frou ot slll.8, tho tracery of laces or tho art of make up that seems nature's own stamp of beauty to them; thcactresses feel that no audience ian bo gath ered that enjoys to much delight marred by so llttlo criticism. Women wnq can dress magnificently aro the best matinee attractions. Among men thero has never been a successor to Montague. The alleged forol uluo wurshlp of hanueoino actors Is ltiostlr stun nnd nonsense, but what little truth there Is In It applies to the school-girl contingent of tho mati nees.

Dlxey got a deal of adoration last season, but women have tired of Adonis.

Tho couniry contingent, with somo men In It, which makes up the rest or an aftcrnoou audience, goes to the standard attri tions, and the spectacle has to look to the evening for its big houses, A inatlnco audience Is les- sophisticated than nn evening house, and it alwajs enjoys itself.
