The second game on Thursday (with the Detroits) was a complete surprise all round, The home team did not visitors to reach home once, and made s themselves.

On the day follow- ing the visitors opened their strony battery, Weidmun and Bennett, on the Washington boy who were handled very roughly. The tal were Just reversed, Detroits 6, Washingtons 0. The home nine played a beautiful game, how lever, but Weidman'’s pitching was too much |tor them. ‘Those who saw the game were well | repaid. The Washingtons will play the Wilmington club on the 2ist inatant. Morgan, of the Washingtons, made a very favorable impression in the catcher's position yesterda Little Cox, of Alexandria, made his first ap- rance on the Washingtons yesterday and did | P | nobly. He took care of everything that came | In the left field, and made one of the four base | hits accorded the home club.

The date fixed upon— July 8ist—is one satisfactory to all parties, and nothing seems te stand In the way of a complete ta will be a fitting celebration. If the na- tional regatta should be held in this part of the country, and in the nelghborhood of the date of the Potomae regatta, course the effect will be to increase the number of entries in the fatter united the Washington boys can act entirely in- dependently of the National association, with the certainty that their efforts will be crow with succe The boating men are anxious! waiting for warmer weather, that they may get actively to work, and fit themselves for the con- tests of the coming season. The Philadelphia people are to enjoy a single scull race between Dempsey and Henderson, of that city. Both of these men are known as tine oarsinen, and it is thought are very evenly matched. Their respective friends have been anxious to have them meet for a good while to decide the supremacy. The class races of the University of Pennsylvania will take place also on May 3d, and the Inter-collegiate race for the challenge cup will be rowed in June. Bicycling. On 22d of this month the Capital Bicycle Club Intends giving the first of a series of entertain- ments at their new quarters, 919 G street, in which the lady friends of the members will be invited to participate. The ladies’ nights have 80 far proved very enjoyable. On such occasions the wheel room, with its long lines of glittering wheels, is much admired; the club album and the pictures of charming vistas, known only to wheelmen, which decorate the walls of the com- mittee and reception rooms, receive thelr share of attention. The billiard and pool rooms are duly inspected, all of which, together with dancing, music and light refreshments, make the evenings pass very pleasantly. ‘The membership of the Capital Bicycte club Is increasing rapidly. Eighteen applications were considered by the executive committee at its last session. The club now has a membership of 130. A liberai sum has been subscribed to the house turnishing fund by the enthusiastic wheel- men, which, in addiiion to the handsome farni- ture recently purchased by the club, will furnish the (combodlous, club house comfortably and ichly. It is thought that not a great many years will pass before both the Washington clubs will pos- sess club houses in their own right. Mr. Graves, of the Citizens’ Bicycle club, of New York, has been in the city during the past week completing arrangements with the raii- road companies tor the transportation of New York wheelmen and their machines to the league meet here next week. The New England delegation and the New York delegation will come from New York together on a special rain. Mr. Edward Oliver. formerly of the firm of Oliver & Jenkins, publishers of The Wheel, was also in the city during the week, assisting the committees of the Cycle club by both advice and acts. The clubs in the league parade will be er- ranged according to their age of membership in the league. The New York Bicycle club, being the oldest, will lead the procession. The Citizens’ ciub, of New York city, will have a representation of about 40 men. The Keystone club, of Pittsburg, will send 10 repre- sentatives. Rey. L. H. Schneider, the chronicler of the Cycle ciub, has. recetved a number of letters from old schoolmates and fellow ministers, members of the league, saying they will attend the league meet. The newly-elected officers of the Washington Cycle club were installed last Monday evening. It is thought that all-the trunk tines will give reduced rates for the league meet. It is rumored that a citizen of Washington will donate to the Washington Cycle club a prize cup, to be contested for at the coming races. The thirty-six page program of the meet, edited by the press committee of the Cycle club’ will appear May Ist, and will be gratuitously sent to any given address. The Wheel, the orexa of the league, comes out in new dress and enlarged form. Wheelmen are having trouble in Kentucky. A bill has passed the lower house debarring wheels from allstreets and roads. It is to go to the Senate, and the power of the league is being brought to bear to defeat it there. The best legal talent in the state has been retained for that purpose by direction of Col. Pope. The secretary of the Louisville club has written to the Washington Cycle club, asking for a copy of the road rules in and about Washington. “Ixion” writes in The Wheel upon the use of the league that the Dogberry justices of Nash- ville were somewhat suprised when they were served with copies of the decisions contrary to thelr rulings, as Issued by the L. A. W., and yet some there are who foolishly still propound the query, “what good 1s the League?” A star bicycle will soon have occasion to some of the roads of India, as Rev. Mr. Swartz, who sails this year as Lutheran missionary to India, will take his star machine with him. Messrs. Thompson and Spence, of London, have recently introduced a bicycle invention, whereby a header from the vertical fork ma- chine is avoided. The handles are fixed on pro- longations of the lower extremity of the fork, which passes downward, so as to clear the als, then upward on elther side to the same eight asin an ordinary machine. This leaves @ perfectly open front, so that in the event of the rider being thrown forward he would be able, with a fall of but eighteen inches, to alight on his feet without being impeded by the machine. John Keen rode a mile in 3m. 253. on one of the new 46-inch machines. Hod and Réel. The bright spring Weather of the last several days gives promise of early sport with the rod pleased with the | | street and boundary.

By Exxsr Ecxsrxrs, author of “Quinth None: Wm, 8: Gollaberwer, Weshingion ork: Wm. 8. Z : lantyne & Son. Those who like history and fiction mixed will like this book, but for ourselves we cannot com- mend the plan, as the interest which the intro- duction of historical events lends to the narra- tive Is more than counterbalanced by tMe con- fusion usually left in the mind of the reader. The evil is less In this case, however, than in | most stories of its class, since the author has furnished abundant foot notes, which will enable careful readers to preserve their bearings as they goalong. Asa story, “Prusias” isa romance of considerable power and interest, though rather of the harrowing order, dealing, as it does, largely with the torture of slaves, gladiatorial contests, the unsuccessful revolt of Spartacus, massacres on the battle field, etc. The paintul general effect is partially relieved, however, by some pretty love scenes, and many of the de- scriptive passages are very fine.

ARLES READE, ecrosity How He Works, From the The w York Tribune, ly to which Charles Reade, the Eng- novelist, belongs, is one of the oldest coun- ty families in Englund. Thereare two branches, with its country seat In BerksLire and the other about fifteen miles from Oaford. Tt is to | the latter tnat the novelist belongs, and In the rambl “fashioned bouse which has beea its homestead for gene: he was born. The present squire is his second brother, his eldest brother, who succeeded to the property at their father’s death, having died several | years ago. Some five generations back one of ; the Reade family settied in this country. Intl- mate communication between the fw shas | been kept up ever since. The American Reades | dropped the final ¢ tn the name for some reason. Gen. J. Meredith Read, well known in the | diplomatic and consular service of this country, 1s a cousin of Charles Reade, and has from ls boyhood been tutimate with the novelist. “T have just received a tel from Eng. land,” said Gen. Read yesterday, “which states that my cousin has railied and that there tsa ray or hope. I sincerely trust this may be the . but bronchitis Is a treacherous enemy and hares Reade is in his seventieth year. You would not Imagine #0 were you to see him, for | he fs a man of splendid physique and does ‘not | by any means look his age. In fact, before the | death of a near relative to whom he had been | more than kind, and the subsequent death of his favorite nephew, both of which shocks aged | him considerably, he always looked a good ten | or fiiteen years younger than his actual age. | He tea large man, tall and broad-shouldered. | Indeed, he used to have a theory that he was not as constitutionally strong as he would bave been had he been a few inches shorter, He ned that the heart had to pump the | blood a longer distance, and therefore its | action would tn the long run be impaired. | But then he ts full of quaint notions and | coneeits. I think Charles Reade s one of the best, kindest and most truly great men I have ever known. To appreciate im fully it is nee- essary to know him intimately. Generous to @ fault, he has been ever ready to assist those tn distress, not only with his purse, but with his time and energy. Any hint of injustice roused him to a leonine Indignation, and he could not rest until he had done his best to set things right. I have often theuzht that the bitter war he waged on those who did him personal injury | did not proceed so much from seitish consider- | ations as from the sense he had that Injustice had been done to an individual. It was a mere accident that that Individual was himself, but tt | Was that fact that rendered him more cognizant of the details of the particular Injustice. Many | people I know of owe nut only their means of | Fivelinc 1d, but their reason and life themselves, | to Charles Reade, The very relative whore | death 80 broke him down was restored to the | full poseession of her faculties by his constant ch | care and attention. “bo open-handed was be that in late his friends remonstrated with him and induced him to look after his own interests more than he had been in the habit of doing. When he applied himself to business he was keenand shrewd, as you may Imagine from some of his own works. He made a good deal of money by urchasing leases. He would see a notice of a use to let, go in, examine the an form his own conclusions as to its value. If he thought well of it he would buy the lease, and it was in but few Instances that he did not realize Seeee btem ees eee & very short i “I remember meeting him in Paris once, and his saying tome: “Those fools of London man- agers have obliged me to make lot of lately.

It was a success and now, after forcing me to put £12.000 in my pocket, they are eager for it." “I once asked him what he thought of the American syatem of interviewing. He declared himselt strongly in its favor. ‘Just think,’ sald he, ‘what a fine thing an Interview with Shakes- | peare would have been!’ “He was a great reader of newspapers. Any- thing that struck him as Interesting, or any fact which tended to support one of his) humanita- rian theories, was cut out, pasted in a larze folio scrap-book, and carefully indexed.

He wanted a complete set of the “Gazette des Tri- bunaux,’ or record of crime in Frauce for yeara and years. I got it, but at the expense of much time and trouble. “His way of working Is pecullar. When he has decided on a new work he plots out the scheme, situations, facts and characters on three large sheets of pasteboard. Then he sets to work using very: large foolscap to write on, and working rapidly, but with frequent refer- | ences to his store house of facta, in the booke, which are ready to hishand.
