He has his charms, his graces, his many fine points, but as a fashion plate he is not a success.

He is content to know that his wife and his daughters are keeping up the standard of Mr.Anson's expectations, and to feel that in providing them with gorgeous raiment he is contributing his share of the beautiful, the true and the good in the world.

We have believed for some time that the shopping ladies on the east side of State street constituted a panorama of feminine loveliness unexcelled, but we are glad to have this opinion corroborated by 40 eminent an authority as Mr.Anson, who has a critical eye for the feminine toilet and has been in New York often enough in a professional capacity to exercise a just and accurate judgment .-- Chicago Post.
The announced retirement of Adrian Constantine Anson from the management of the Chicago base-ball team marks the end of a career that is without parallel in America.

For nearly thirty years Anson has stood among the foremost representatives of the national game, and for half that time.
He has been a popular hero whose name was more familiar on the lips of the people than that of any statesman or soldier of his time.

Ever since professional base-ball became a feature of American life, he has stood in the front rank of its exponents, and as long as it shall continue to be played his name will be remembered.
