Now, Listz, the pianist, can stretch two notes over the octave 
but if Bogardus were a performer on a Chickering or Steinway , 
he could run double octaves with either hand, so enormous 
are they os to straddle. The Captain’s second finger is 4.J 
inches long. Placing his hands perpendicularly, and out,

Laorosse at Gilmore’s Garden.— T he Iroquois lacrosse 
players, with Saivatis AientODni ns captain, and the Onon- 
dogas, under Thehaser, met on Tuesday night with their 
lacrosse bats at Gilmore's Garden. Lacrosse is a kind of 
shinny, only the sticks have a wider and longer crook, with 
netting, in which the ball is caught and tossed. To win a 
match the ball has to pass between two staves, about four feet 
wide and some five ieet high. There is a good deal of gen- 
eral scrimmaging, with hacking and thrashing. Tbe Indians 
showed great skill in running-, doubling, and getting out of 
the way of one another. A match was pluye^ during the 
evening between the N. Y. University Club and tbe Ravens- 
wood Club, of L. 1- The prize for the Indians was a silver 
cup. given by Mr. W. M. Tileston. The performances will be 
continued during the week. 
Tub Bogardus GniP.^Captain Bogardus appeared on 
Monday at Gilmore's Garden in a double capacity. Tbe Cap- 
nin was to shoot glass balls and carry by main grip some un- 
known weights. Of course, most everybody knows “it is 
come down, Captain Scott,” as far as bis gun performances 
0 , still some people were skeptical as to the Captain’s grip.

THE MONTHLIES. 
Scribner's is doing perhaps more than any other of our 
montoiy Magazines to popularize the sporis and recreations of the 
neld. We have more than once called the attention of our readers to 
the admirable series of papers on American sports, and to commend 
both the articles themselves and the excellent munner in which the 
publishers present them. In the February number Mr. Chas. V Ward 
a frequent contributor to Forest aNo Stream, has a readable paper 
on "Moose Hunting." Mr. Word writes with tho spirit of theoha.se 
and ail sportsmen will recognize In his work a truthfulness of delinea- 
tion and an enthusiasm well bctlttlng the grand sport of which lie 
writes. The letter press Is well supplemented by the engravings, tho 
whole combining to mako this tho beat description of moose hunting 
ever published In America. The March number of tho magazine has a 
score of good things. Mr. Noah Brooks continues Ills " Personal Remi- 
niscences of Llucoin," giving us several new anecdotes. Another 
paper of personal recollections Is that of Mrs. S. A. Weiss, who writes 
of the 14 La-t Days of Edgar A. Poe." I lustrated pupers are : "An 
American Colony lu a Normandy Manor House;" - An Earthquake 
Experience;” "A Trip to Central America;” "Dresden China," and 
" Kenyon College." Prof. W. G. Sumner lots a thoughtful discussion of 
“ What Our Boys Are Reading," calling attention to the tr.isliy aud in 
every way demoralizing story papers now scattered broadest among 
the boys. This Is a subject of grave consideration, and should engago 
he serious attention of every parent. 
We shall do onr share toward supplanting these trashy productions by 
commending to all boy readers of Forest and Streak the two inago- 
tzlnes prepared for them as magazines have been prepared for no other 
generation of boys since the world began— St. Ntcholtu and IFMe A tea ke. 
It la a noticeable fact that under ttio very able management of the luilo* 
whoedit these periodicals, the most emim nt literary ta'ent lu the country 
has been ellsted for the boys and girls. Each new number Is a surprise 
to us, and this month the publishers are In no way behind.

New Method op Horsemanship, Illustrated, by F. B&u- 
cher. Albert Goggswell, New York. 
From the name of the author has been coined a hippie word. To 
Daueher a horse, In fact, means to produce In the animal pliability cf 
parts, equl lbrlum and ease, wilh diminution of fatlgae. The book un- 
der review Is devoted oot only to the lessons winch the rider must 
study, but tho horse himself goes through a whole method of careful 
Instruction. It Is evident that, to give ease aud grave, this combination 
of training, paitaken by the rider aud his mount, mu6t aceomp.lsh 
wonders. The method of horsemanship, then, shows wliat steps must 
be taken in the education of the horBe, and when the lessons are 
mastered, a sa e and grateful seat Is the result.
