Philadelphia, Oct. 1888 – Miss Disston and Miss Minnie Lippincott of Philadelphia, PA., do some marvelous manipulating of the cues. Last week the Philadelphia Times gave an account of Miss Disston’s marvelous shooting at a beach gallery. It will now record the names of a brilliant party at billiards a few nights ago at the Hotel Brighton, among whom were Miss Minnie Lippincott of Philadelphia. The young lady is probably nineteen years of age and is a demi blonde. She is tall and shapely and a quick and graceful player. She can make the balls fly about the table after the manner of Sexton, and much of her time is devoted to fancy shots of finger billiards. She would astonish Yank Adams if he could get a chance to see her play his favorite game. The largest three runs made by her were 110, 89 and 56. Edward Webster, who was playing with her, ran 81, 65 and 52.

Doctresses are increasing in numbers and in practice, though in cases where men are attacked by fever it seems difficult to understand how their ministrations can become effective, as, if good looking, they are likely to cause much more fever than they cure. A young female physician of Boston has taken away much of the custom of the male medicals. The "bloods" of Beacon street submit their Pilgrim Fatherly arms with much gratification to her as she vaccinates them, and bless the charming small-pox preventer. So the female element progresses.
