They took board at the eating-house of Mrs. Moore, col- ored, on Cameron street, near the Washington and Alexandria retlroad depot. The show did not pay well, and being behind in their board bill. they drove off in their four-goat wagon, and left'the trained dogs and a cage of white e with Mrs, Moore as security that they would come back and settle up. ‘This morn- ing, just at daybreak, they came to the rear fence at Mrs. Moore’s yard, broke off a plank, and calling the dogs, made off with them up the road to Washington. Mrs. Moore screamed “police” and *‘murder,” but the dogs and men got off before assistance could be obtained. The showmen left behind a little trick poodle and the white rats, Cuurcu ANNiversary.—The Methodist Pro- testant church of this city celebrated last night its sixticth anniversary.

The church edifice was erected in 1830, and many of the most useful citizens of Alexandria have been numbered among its members, The anniversary exercises were appropriate, con- sisting of addresses, music and the reading of aunistory of the church by Mr. W. 8.

A GRAND STEEPLE-CHASE—GOOD JUMPING AND RUNNING--LARGE ATTENDANCE AND UNUSUAL ENTHUSIASM — HARAMBOURE’S SURPRISE — TO- DAY'S RACES POSTPONED. Thefe certainly has never been a better sport at Ivy City than was witnessed there yes- terday. The races were good finishes, close and exciting, save one, and honors evenly di- vided between favorites and fielders, The weather was lovely, and if it had not been for a light wind, which blew the dust in the stand, it would have been a perfect racing day. For afirst day the attendance was enormous, at least four-fifths of the grand stand being filled, and the infield held more handsome equipages than have been seen there in many a day. THE RACE OF THE DAY for the public was the steeplechase. The grand stand went wild with delight, and as the horses got over the different obstacles cheer upon cheer went up to encourage them on their w While only two of the five horses that started finished, there was but one fall, and that was attributable to the carelessness of the jockey, Dowing. who, when he got his horse's head and neck in front of Elphin, lost his own head and went off to racing at once, in consequence of which he fell at the first wall, or rather the first wall he met, after starting to race, which was really the seventh in the course. Killarney rolled completely over him, but he got =. and walked home unhurt. At the first jump Ment- more didn’t make an effort to rise and plowed a great hole through the jump. At the next fomp, which is a blind ditch with a tree efore it, he refused, and lost what- ever chance he might have had. At the first wall after re-entering the field Lighthouse balked and the race was left to Elphin and Hercules. Elphin was going a merry pace and Jed on to the flat by fully fifty lengths, but tired badly and Hercules came along steadily, gain- ing inch uy inch, and finally won one of the best steeplechases ever seen in this country by a half length, The best jumper in the race was Elphin, and he would probably have been landed a winner had not Billings made so much use of him. He made but one mistake in the entire route, and that was due to Bil- lings chancing a jump. THE OPENING RACE at five furlongs resulted in one of the best finishes of the day. There was a short delay at the post, for most of which Carmody’s Duke of Bourbon was responsible, but when Mr. Caldwell did drop the flag it was to a very good start with Biggonet, Haramboure and Tom Hood in the front division. Going down the back stretch Biggonet kept her head and neck in front, with Tipstaff second, followed at one time by Haramboure, then Tom Hood. Into the stretch the order was the same, but a fur- long from home it looked like any one of four might win, but after a rattling finish, Why- burn managed to land Tipstaff by the shortest of heads, with Haramboure before Tom Hood, Biggonet fourth, three lengths away, the others following in the order named: Meade, Fannie H, Carnot and Duke of Bourbon. The place mutuals on Haramboure paid $103.25. THE BEST TIME. When the horses went to the post for the sec- ond race Mr. T. B. Doswell’s filly Wild Cherry amused the crowd by running away and finally tossing off the little black boy who rode her. After this Judge Simmons allowed her to be withdrawn. Starter Caldwell then got his / horses together and gave them the flag to a nice start, from which Burch immediately went out to make the running, followed by Langar to the head of the turn, where he gave way to Barris- ter, who in turn retired for Panama. Burch won handily by three lengths from Panama, who was six before Barrister, Pocatello, Lan- gar, and Annie Claire, following as named. The time, 1:4414, was the best of the day, THE HANDICAP resulted in as good a race as any one cares to see, although the time (1.4614) was not fast. When the starter lowered the flag the order was Bess, Frank Ward, Boaz, and Brait. At the quarter Bess was a head before Frank Ward, he alength before Boaz, who was lapped by Brait. At the half Frank Ward had managed to get his head in front of the mare, who was the shortest of heads before Boaz and Brait. When well in the turn Bess again assumed com- he positions of the others remained as before. It was now hammer and tongs between the four, and no one could have picked the winner a yard from home; but in the last jump “Spider” Anderson, by good riding, managed to land Bess by short head, Brait, Boaz, and Frank Ward following with not more than a head between any of them. THE TALENT DISAPPOINTED. When the selling race came the talent plunged on the New York mare Maia as though it was all over bar the shouting, but Mr. Burch upset the good thing with his sleepy old mare Romp, who, well ridden by Hamilton, won rather handily, Wynwood jumped off with the lead when the flag dropped, and followed by Le- ander, showed the way until half way down the stretch, when Romp came away and won by a length from Letretia who was five before Maia, Wynwood, Leander and Dave §. finished as named. TO-DAY'S RACES POSTPONED. On account of the rain storm the Jockey club decided to postpone the races until to-morrow.

NOTES. 2 Maia lost whatever chance she may have had in the fourth race by bolting when half-way down the stretch, The conditions of the gentlemen’s race for Monday have been changed, and they now read “for gentlemen riders who are members of the National jockey club.” Burch, the man, and Barch, the horse, both seem to be in their old form. The McCafferty Bros., new comers on the turf, won a lot of money on their Texas horse Haramboure, or, as he is euphonically called, Hambone. Burch wasn’tall out yesterday, yet he seemed to win easily and in the best time of the day. If the executive committee would just keep the press stand clear of loungers the public would have better accounts of the races. There was only one ticket sold on Haram- boure for the place yesterday, and it paid ‘The judges’ stand is most too high for the judges to get a true view of the horses, A great many people thought Frank Ward got the place in the handicap yesterday. Starter Caldwell hasn't forgotten how to wake ae Polo Jim up. To hear him sounds like old times. Harry Madden, who was well known here some years ago, is making his headquarters with Green Morris’ stable. There were only fourteen book-makers in the ring yesterday, but they had all the busi- ness they could attend to. The jockey club came in for some unfavor- able comment yesterday for allowing Mr. Car- mody to start here while under the ban at Gut- tenburg. Hercules is a grand horse just now, and should have no trouble in the Senate steeple-chase to-morrow, though yesterdey’s race will do Elphin a lot of good. Elphin, by the way, is the most improved jumper in the country.

Powell Williams, who devils {for Mr. Chamberlain in politics, Lord Ran- doiph himself has been telegraphed to—he has been fishing in Scotland—and replies that the allegation that he would not accept an invite- tion to stand is absolutely inaccurate, and that Mr. Rowland’s statement is quite true. So Mr. Chamberlain will have to write another letter. He and his friends, by way of pouring oil on the troubled waters of Birmingham, have passed a resolution that the recent victory is mainly due to the liberal-unionists. The tories, who think that they polled four out of the five thousand votes given to Mr. Bright, received this im a temper which you can imagine. Thus it becomes more and more probable that this quarrel may spread far beyond and may result inan open collision between Mr, Chamberlain and the tories. The liberals accordingly look on with a smile which threat- ens to become a grin, For these and other good reasous the liberals are spending their Easter holidays in a contented spirit. - eee He Lost the Fun of the Joke.

A gentleman who is alittle too fond of joking entered the store for the purpose of meeting his wife at » certain counter, Sure enough, there stood o lady dressed, to his eve, at least, just like the woman he was after. Her back was turned and no one was near her, so he quietly approached, took her by the arm, and said, in a voice of simulated severity, “Well, here you are, spending my money as usual, eh?” ‘The face turned quickly toward him was not his wife's; it was thut of an acrid, angry, keen- eyed woman of about fifty years, who the attention of everybody in that of the store by saying in a loud, shrill 3 \o, Iain’t spending your money or no other man’s money, and P'l—” “I beg your pardon, madam,” cried the con- fused gentleman; “I supposed you were my wife, and— “Well, I just ain't your wife, nor no other man’s wife, thank fortune, to be jawed at every time I buy a yard of ribbon!

In the Criminal Court this morning Eliza Carter, alias Fry, a colored woman, was tried for larceny from the person—snatching .882 from John W. Tippett. The complainant testified that he took the detendant to a point near her home, from an entertainment at the Capitol City Guards armory, and when he took out his money to make change she snatched it and ran off. The defense was an alibi sworn to by several of the woman’s companions, The defendant was represented by Mr. F. P.
