1C LITERARY NOTES. "The Dickensian" Is the title of a new period ical which has just appeared in London. The first number has a hitherto unknown portrait of Dickens. This publication is to "be the organ of the Dickens Fellowship. More than two hundred thousand volumes of Dickens' works were sold in -island last month. It Is needless to repeat th* worn phrase about • prophets In quoting a story told by the English "Author": "I remember a crushing reply that I received about a year ags. when, in the lend ing library of a certain wall known watering place, I sugrgrested to an acquaintance, again a l«£y. that she should read a book that I named, a book by an author whose works are generally popular. 'What:' she exclaimed, In a tone of great contempt. 'I fa.l that man's books? Why, he Jives here!' Xow. 1 have every reason to believe that this L&dy v =ts by no means sir. gular In her views, "out that, on the contrary, there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of read ers, men as well as women, who would scorn the bare idea of reading anything that is written by any one they happen to be personally ac quainted with, no matter how excellent the article or the story may be." It Is as well rot to go to a novelist for a condemnatory characterization of a real per son. A Sydney lawyer has pust recovered as much as $1,250 from a publication which men tioned him as having "all the unscrupulousness of Dodson & Fogg, without the astuteness ascribed by Dickens to these two legal charac ters." It Is scarcely necessary to say more of Vol umes XVin. XIX. XX and XXI. of 'The Phil ippine Islands" (Cleveland: The Arthur EL Clark Company), than that they amply maintain the high standard pet in the earlier volumes already noticed in our columns. These four cover the period from 14H7 to 1624. the translated docu ments, largely official and ail authoritative, dealing with almost every phase of insulnr his tory and colonial development. In their dis cussion of necde.i reforms in administration, even at that early date, and of the development of industries and commerce they are often fruit ful of suggestion profitably applicable to present conditions, nearly three <enturies later. It is really a dishearten in 5 reflection, and one not cr^ditahlo to American scholarship and munifi cence. th.-»t th!s admirable compilation of simply invaluable historical material should have met Wttß so little enmuragpnvir in the country In mhich. of all ta the world, it should be of most Interest. We should think that every important public and academic library and every private collection which aims at historical fulness would have regarded a set of tho<^ fine volumes as Indippensabl". Tet not a tithe of such Institu tions, we believe, have sought them. It will be a curious anomaly in the next few years to find en American publication of lf*O4-'Of» as scarce and as difficult of a^c^ss as rare prints of cen turies ago. How. if it had only been an his torical novel or a bucolic dialect tale! It is slatod that Si&nora Crlspi is quietly pre paring to issue, outside the Italian frontier, a volume of her late husband's memoirs furnished with an introduction which he wrote during the closing months of his life. This work, it is rumored, is divided into three parts, and con tain?. besides unpublished letters to Mazzini, Garibaldi, Victor Emmanuel II and Gladstone, details of Crispins life as a refugee in London and documents by living men who had relations with Crispi. "The Gambler," we are told, is to b» the title of the forthcoming nove) hy Mrs. Thurston, the author of 'The Maequerader." Her husband. Mr. E. T. Thurston Cwho has dramatized 'The Masq-aerader") is about to pub lish a book which he calls "The Apple of Eden." The subject i« that of the celibacy of the Roman Catholir. clergy. "Warren Hayings is said to have written to his wife letters of singular interest and charm. and these letters, heretofore unpublished, are poon to be brought out in a volume edited by a British novelist. Three piece? which have not until now seen the light are toctaded in the new edition of Ros settrs poeme. These are "Dennis Shand: A Ballad"; a sonnet. "After the French Liberation of Italy." and another sonnet. "After the Ger man Subjugation of Frame." Mr. A Jf. Sullen is now at work on his "Stratford Town Edition" of Shakespeare in Stratford itself. He has established an artistic prirting press, the '"Shakespeare's Head." in the house which Julius Shaw, the maltster, leased in l. r »97— the Fame year In which Shakespeare nought "New Place." two doors away. The type which Mr. Bullen is using is tho beautiful original "Old Face" type cut by William Caslon early in the eighteenth century; the paper Is English hand made, with the Shakespeare crest and coat of arms for water mark. Stratford Itself does not take much interest in the edition. Apropos of this lack Miss Corelli tells this anecdote: '• 'You will hardly have much demand for such an edition of Shake speare In Stratford.' observed the vicar (himself a trustee of Shakespeare's birthplace, and there fore accredited with special interest In all things Shakespearian) to the smart office boy of the •Shakespeare's Head Press' the other day. 'Please, sir, we don't work for Stratford,' was the prompt reply." No review of R. L. Stevenson's attitude to women could be complete, says the commen tator "O. 0.," "without a reference to Mrs. Sit ■* now Mrs. Sidney Colvin, the friend who bore so large a part in hla development and en couragement during his transition period. It was under her influence that he began, for the first time, to believe In his own powers. During the most unhappy and unsettled years of his life he sent her journal letters made up almost weekly, chronicling his moods and doings while his letters to his friends in general were sn;u,t>y and Infrequent. A long time after he wrote to her from HW-r,s: If I am here and happy 1 know to whom 1 owe It; I know who made mv waj for me in life, if that were all. and I re main, with love, your faithful friend.

Feb. 2.— A measure growing: out of the scandals in the case of the German Bank, of Buf falo, is at present under consideration, and will later be Introduced in the Senate. The hill will amend the present banking law by making it a misdemeanor for any officer, director or agent of any bank to borrow from the bank with which he Is connected nny sum of money without the consent and approval of a majority of the board of di rectors. Under the present law the transaction la forbidden, but the penalty is a forfeiture of twice the sum borrowed. This, of course, absolutely cannot be enforced, for a man who thus illegally borrows the money! If he uses It for stock speculation and succeeds, will return It. and the bank will neither know nor lose, but if he Is unsuccessful, then he has lost all the money, and cannot oven replace what he has taken. His forfeiting twice tho sum to th« State Is. of course, a manifest impossibility; but when the offence is made a misdemeanor, with a fine of $500 or an Imprisonment for a year, or both, the penalty win reach oil cases and will act as a deterrent to many.

WANDERKKSBIiATN.Y.A.C. / * / Mercury Foot Seven Lose, 6 to 1 — Two Referees Work Well The Wanderers' Hockey Club defeated the New- York Athletic Club hockey seven nt St. Nicholas Rink last night. 6 goals to 1. This l.« the worst beating the Mercury Foot men have received this season, for, although they have won only one game, the games were lost by narrow margins. Their only point was made by Bullen. after a nice run down the Ice with Stewart These two men played well together, and repeatedly became dan gerous around the Wanderers' goal. The Wander era played a fast, hard ' game from the start. Souther. Howard and Carruthers doing particularly fine work. Horn feck received a bad cut by being hit by the puck early In the game, which affected his play throughout the evening. The two referee, plan suggested In Monday's Tribune was adopted at last night's came, and worked well, especially in the second half, when the men became more accustomed to the new de parture. Rupert Howard watched the puck and started the plays, while Mackenzie looked after' the. men. Both were from the Hockey Cub of New- York. Clarke was twice punished, once for striking at HobUtZ, and the second time for hitting Stewart. Hunt and Henderson were also ruled off, the for mer for upsetting Clarke, and the latter for trip ping Hornfeck. The Wanderers opened the frame with a hot at tack on the Athletic Club's goal, Hornfeck and Clarke making; hard shots. Stewart and Bullen took the puck by good combinations Into Wanderers' territory, and the former got a shot which Car ruthers stopped. Hornfeck at this stage of the game received the puck on the face, making an ugly cut, and play was delayed some minutes. Shortly after his return to the ice Henderson, in attempting to lift the puck, made a bad fumble, and Clarke getting the rubber shot the first goal from the left of the rink. Hornfeck followed this with another goal a minute later, after dribbling the puck from the centre of the- rink to within a few feet of the cage. Bullen made a good effort to score, but Heyward timed his shot aside and Stewart's shot Immediately afterward was stopped by Carruthers. The half ended 2 to 0. It was fast, hard checking throughout the sec ond half, and at times rough. Clarke got the first shot at goal, -which was beautifully stopped by Williams, and Stewart and Bullen made another of their runs down the rink, but were unable to pass the -strong defence of the Wanderers. Car rubbers, getting the. puck from them, took It the entire, length of the rink, dodging every one of his opponents, and shot a goal unassisted. Hardly half a minute inter he tallied again on a paps from Clarke. Clarke was put off when the puck was again put In play for striking at Hoblitz, and the Mer cury Foot men struggled hard to score, with only six men opposed to them. Stewart had an ex cellent chance for a goal when the rubber was passed to him by Bullen right In front of the net, but his shot went wide. Bullen then tried his hand at it. but with no better, success. South er, after making two good attempts at goal, both well stopped by Williams, finally got the rubber by him after good individual work. Hunt was ruled off for two minutes for tripping Clarke, and Henderson followed him for the same offence against Hornf»ck. This left the New- York Athletic Club with only five men on the ice, and while thus handicapped Souther scored from a scrimmage. Bullen got the next goal, the only one for his team, after clever combination work with Stewart. Hardy was the next man to go to the fence, for two minutes, for tripping Stewart, and Clarke was put off for the second time for striking at Stewart. He received only two min utes, which was too light for his second offence. Stewart. Bullen and Hoblitz made hard attempts to add to the score while their side was one man to the good, but without success, as Heyward stopped everything that got by Howard and Carruthers.

SUNSET AT PALM BEACH. Scene of motor boat races. TROUBLE IX TENNIS. Xexc-Yorkers Object to Boston Man agement Meeting To-night. Leading tennis players of this city are much In terested in the questions which will come before the annual meeting of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association to-night. They regard as of miner Importance th*> subject of sending ■ chal lenge to England for the Dwight F. Davis Cup, de claring they are out for reforms to be carried through with an active body of officers. Several of these players have been outspoken in their criti cism of the failure to send a team to England last season after the promise had been made to the visiting Britons. Again, it Is pointed out that there are more larce clubs, with a greater membership, In and near this city than about Boston where tennis government emanates. Dr. James Dwight, of Boston, president of the association for many years, has often ex pressed his desire to be relieved from his duties, and it Is possible that he may be replaced. For several years Dr. Dwight's request that another be made president has been Ignored, and the office be would gladly relinquish has been forced upon him. The secretary. Palmer E. Presbrey, has been criticised because, according to representatives of tennis interests in this city, it has been often im possible to get needed information and replies to Important queries from his office in Boston. To Richard Stevens, the treasurer, there will probably be no opposition, as he Is generally regarded as the best man for the plnc«\ With an active governing body, the majority of the English tournaments have. it is pointed out, on entry list of more than one hundred, and the tour nament at Eastbourne last autumn had the record breaking entry of 960 competitors. The national tournament, at Newport, has never reached an entry list of one hundred, and has usually about eighty players. The New-Yorkers believe that some adequate championships should be estab lished for this city, where, they declare, the sport is on a better footing than elsewhere In the coun try. The Bostonians, according to the New-York er-;, form a close corporation by getting many proxies from clubs unable to send delegates, and thus put through any movements which they favor. It seems likely that the Boston and New-York dele gates may have a test of strength to-night. PRICES AVERAGE LOW. Diavolo Brings Top Price of $860 at Garden Sale. This Is the last day of the Fasig-Tipton Com pany's annual midwinter sale of trotters and light harness horses at Madison Square Garden. It has been highly successful, as the grand total will prob ably foot up to more than 1300,000. This compares favorably with the Old Glory sale late last fall, which was a record for recent years, and a standard by which future sales will be Judged. Yesterday could he characterised as bargain day. Consign ments from various owners were sold, and while the range of prices was low the genera! average was good, considering the quality of the horses offered. In the morning and afternoon sessions Diavolo brought top price of JSfiO. while the average for eighty-seven head was only a little over $200. Many the horses, however, were well Bold, and Mr. *Tipton expressed himself as entirely satisfied. In the evening session the prices did not im prove, and not a single horse reached four figures. In spite of the fact that there were no Direct Hals or other stars catalogued, the attendance was quite up to the average of the previous days, and there was no lack of bidders, In the course of the day 126 head wore sold, bring ing a total of 127,850. In the four days 4iS head were sold, with a total of $234,016. Ahout 7 o'clock, in the intermission for dinner, what might have been ■ terious accident was averted only by the cool, quick work of a driver who was exercising a horse to sulky. A big bay horse, which was being exercised to halter, broke away and galloped about the track at top speed, threatening to run down the sulky. The driver turned In his seat and swung his whip in the face of the runaway, bur this did not prevent him crashing Into the rear of the sulky, getting one leg over the axle. The driver, quick to see the sit uation, grabbed him by the head and pulled up his own horse at the same time, while the crowd ap plauded uproariously. In the evening, John Ilen nessy, the horseman, was knocked down, in front of the auctioneer's block, by a trotter being shown at top speed, but he escaped with a had shaking up. A. J. Forbush.t of Boston, bought Diavolo for $860, and got a bargain, in the opinion of many shrewd horsemen. With a mark of 2:')9' 2 and a trial in 3:06% be is a pacer that will show to ad vantage on the track, speedway or road. A. J. Km bush also bought Sister Marion. 2:17*4, for $;."'•. and will drive her on the road. The late Robert Bonner paid a big price for her as a two year-old, but she is now fourteen years old and was well sold at the price. Edgewood. 2:12* 4 , the well known matinee horse, aroused some little competition and was finally knocked down, to a bid of John McGuire. for $530. .The best sales of the day follow: Edward D., b. p. 10 years.
