EIGHT ZEROS. How the Washingtons Were Annthi- lated by the Boston Sluggers. A Waterloo! Such was the game of, well, of base ball. that took place yesterday afternoon at Capitol park. And yet that is not its proper designation for the Waterloo of history was a repulse that came toa man whose record was Previously filled with successes, and that of yesterday was but the cighth of a series of de- feats that have as yet been relieved by nothing like a contrast. In brief, the Boston club de- feated the Senators with their eyes blinde their hands tied behind their backs, and their | feet shackled, by the score of 23 to 3. It wasa game for hard hitters, a game for bad fielders, a game for muffers, a game, in short, for everything _ except good base ball. Manager Morrill. in response toa howl from his assistant managers, played Donnelly at third and covered first bag him- self. The experiment was nota howling suc- cess, for between them these two made half of | the errors made by the home team, and they | were not few. Donnelly was very rank, accept- | ing but helf of the eight chances he had. Nor did he hit the ball, and his enthusiastic admir- ere are pretty well silenced this morning. To be sure, he was in his first game, and it was, perhaps, not strange that he should go to pieces in the complete and undeniable manner mm which he did. He may pick up and lay «a beautiful game the next chance he has, but his work yesterday shows pretty well that he is not the great player he is said to by some folks. ‘The home team lost, in the first place, because they could not bat, and then because they could not even pretend to field the balls that | the Bean-eaters batted. Healy, Keefe and Mack, and Kadbourne and Bennett were the batteries. Healy retired after four innings had been played and the visitors had made 12 runs. and then Keefe took hold d aided the Hubbites to 11 more. Brouthers batted terri- ficaliy. making a two-bagger, a three-base hit anda home run over the center field fence, the longest ever made here. Altogether Boston | made 19 hits, which loomed up in awful con- | trast to the paltry 4 hits of the Statesmen. | Of these Morrill made two, each a home run. j Carney and Mack did the rest. Washington | made 10 errors and Boston 3. OTHER GAMES. New York took revenge on the Phillies and defeated them by the score of 13 to 9.

O'Brien end Zimmer and | Hutchinson and Farrell were the batteries. | Pittsburg downed the Hoosiers, with some trouble, by the score of 7 to 6, winning in the last inning. The batteries were Conway aud Carroll and Shreve and Myers. Pittsburg | made 8 hits and lerror and Indianapolis 12 hits and 3 error: At Cmeinnati—Cincinnati, 8: Louisviile, At Kansas City . Louis. 11: Kansas Ci NOTES OF THE BALL FIELD. H New York and Boston are tied for first place, | Pittsburg and Philadelphia are very close to- gether and near the top. Indianapolisand Cleve- land are tied at 500. Chicago saunters along in seventh place. and Washington has a cipher for nearly every man on the team.and nothing else. It seems as though they had caught a grip on the tail of the race, put it through a hole, and tied a knot on the other side to prevent it from getting away from them.

The Ideals. in their second game of this sea- son, defeated the Plymouth base-ball club yes- terday by a score of 23 to 14.

Rockvitte, May 6, 1889, Ata meeting of the board of management of the Agricultural society. held here to-day, Ed- ward C. Peter was elected treasurer of the society, and John E. Muncaster secretary. The premium list for the next fair was agreed upon, but little change being made from that of last year. It was decided to have no racing on the first day of the fair, and to devote the time to athletic sports, which will be made quite a feature of the exhibition. It was also decided to do away with return checks and to issue only regular tickets of admission. The committee appointed at a previous meeting to take meas- ures to secure a half-mile track, made a report | that the necessary land for the purpose was held by Mr. James Dawson at 00 per acre. The committee was continued with power to negotiate with the owner for an exchange of a house and lot on the southeast tof the fair grounds for euough land to extend the track to half a mile.

AT THE OFFICIAL CEREMONTES— ALL THE FOREIGN DIPLOMATS PRESENT—PARIS ALIVE AT NIGHT—THE VASTNESS OF THE EXPOSI- TION BUILDINGS, Yesterday afternoon President Carnot stood under the great dome of the Expositien build- ing in Paris, surrounded by his ministers and many distinguished guests to formally declare it open. The president drove to the exposition from the Elysee at 1:30, escorted, as on Sunday, bya full company of six cuirassiers, Madame Carnot and some others having preceded him some fifteen minutes before. When the presi- dent arrived at the grounds few people com- paratively had gained admittance. It was not until the president and his company had threaded the long rows formed by the two regiments and entered the central hall where the reception held, that the vast crowds, held in check by the police and soldiers, broke through the cordons formed at all the doors leading to the central grounds and streamed in masses across the newly-laid-out gardens, NO CONTROL OF THE PUBLIC, From that moment till the departure of the official visitors every attempt to hold the public in check was useless, Flowers were trodden out of sight, new plats of grass became amass of mud, and millions of spall colored lamps, ranged ail around a few Inches from the ground, were smashed to pieces and no trace left of them but a few broken and tangled wires strewing the pathways in every direction. At the base of the Eiffel tower some tropical lants of rare beauty and value were trampled. in short. the damage thus done will cost the directors of this evening’s illumination great expense to replace. When the President reappeared a special guard of honor was formed of colonial troops, consisting of Algerian, Tunisian, and Annamite regiments, in themselves exhibits of no small interest. The latter are undoubtedly the most curious, being little, Mongol-looking fellows, attired in their national costumes. Few are above four feet in height, but apparently wiry and remarkable for their long marching powers, in spite of the fact of wearing no covering on their feet. While these valiant defenders of their country’s weal were drawn up outside, Carnot, having declared the exposition opened, made a tour of the entire buildings, accompa- nied by the ministers, military and naval offi- cers, Though he was beginning to look jaded and worn he continued bowing to the excited crowd that followed close upon him, yelling at every corner “Vive Carnot.” CARNOT'S DUTIES OVER. At 4:45 his handsome carriage, driven by two Postillions, wearing the same blue and silver uniform of yesterday's fete, once more drew up before the central bnilding, and as the clocks beyond the Trocadero were chiming the hour of five the president issued from the ex- | position and was conducted through an un- unbroken line of military to the Elysee. The crowd now was denser than ever. All along | the quays it bsolutely impossible to cireu- diers on their way back to their barracks in- tensified the pressure. DIPLOMATS ALL PRESENT. The surprise of the day was the presence of | all the diplomatic representatives now in Paris, While their governments declined to permit them officially to assist in the opening of the exposition. personal good will, end possibiy private courtesy, have overcome the prohibi tion, and they were all lly present, The letter of their instructions has been kept, | while the spirit is broken. It is a sight that can be seen nowhere but in Paris. All exeept the Japanese, who have adopted European garb plus an ‘unlimited amount of gold lace, all knot and tassels, are in the dress of their respective courts. Ouly one foreign representative is in austere black, unrelieved by any decoration, ‘This is Mr. Robt Lane, the retiring urbane minister dial warmth on every side. There pass near his place on the benches provided for the am- bassadors, Orientals with white teeth flashing from under their curled brown moustaches, Hindoos in white cloaks and capuchins, Afri- cans with feathered cirelets in their headgear, the Chinese minister with 2 long suite of yellow attendants looking like ant grotesque e figures, among whom there is not a young man, and full-biooded Moors, The contrast between those swarthy skins and silk white draperies of nuns veiling is occasionally relieved by raising of a delicate, jewelled hand to direct an opera-glass upon the gailery overhead. Here. there and everywhere are seen the broad red ribbon of the Legion of Honor and the cross of the same distinction. Generals scarred and feeble are assisted to their places by young of- ficers. Hoary veterans occupy the front row of chairs near the dais, some of them on erutches—the survivors of many wars, the THE SCENE AT NIGHT, Last night the whole city was ablaze with light and color, and crowds were afloat on the river, the whole Seine was dotted with craft of all descriptions, carrying myriads of lights and discharging fireworks continually. ‘The sky was as red as though the entire city was ablaze, and the whole-souled efforts of the populace are gradually imparting the same tint to the town. Everywhere American stars and stripes shared the honors with the tricolor, though the English and other flags are unseen. All mili- tary bands near Paris were placed on boats and sent ap and down the river, adding the strains of harmony to the roar of cannons and the cheers of the people, The whole interior of the exhibition was lighted, while the immense Eiffel tower was lighted by ei icity and calciums, The tower was finally stretched with naphtha and bengal fire so that it rose in the air a tongue of flame 1,000 feethigh. The theaters were all free and the public were freer, particularly in public squares. Anything to equal the oes and larking in the immense Piace de la Concorde ata late hour last night can scarcely be im: ined. There are about 100,000 Americans in Paris, and they were in the movement. COUNTRIES REPRESENTED. The countries represented in the exposition by their skill are, in addition to France and the United States, Great Britain, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Roumania, Servia, Egypt, Persia, Mexico, Brazil. the Argentine Republic, Bolivi Chili, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Guatemala, Ura guay, Paraguay, Sau Domingo, Salvador, Hayti, China, Japan, East India, Siam, Morocco and Australasia, The unrepresented countries are Germany, Turkey and Montenegro. The applications for space so far exceeded | the expectations founded on previous exhibi- tions that despite heroic exertions not one de- partment is complete nor the catalogue of any group ready for the printers. The American representation is the farthest behind. THE EXPOSITION GROUNDS, An idea of the vastness of the exposition may be gained from the area it covers, Although the exhibition buildings are closely grouped the total ground surface exceeds 3,000,000 uare feet. The Champ de Mars, the Trocadero Place Gardens, the Esplanace of the Invalides, and the quays of the Seine extending betweon the Champ de Mars and the Invalides tay blend strength, suitability, light and grace in their composition. Their interior architectural lines are notably free and symmetrical, while their decorations surpass in elegance of design and richness of tone those of any structures ever put up for a similar use. The most accomplished artists have been em- ployed upon every part of the work, and the color schemes, while high in key, are rich and effective without being glittering. Indeed, the | decorations of the interiors would adorn the finest permanent public edifices, “Their variety is infinite in detail and as diverse as human in- vention is likely ever to be able to match,while their places for the ensuing year: Commodore, J.

THEIR ACTION BEARS LIGHTLY UPON LYDECKER, BUT WILL SIT HEAVILY UPON THE ENGINEER- ING OORPS OF THE ARMY, Washington Correspondence Philadelphia Ledger. Army officers are not given to the criticism of the acts of courts-martial nor of the acts of their superiors in rank, yet many of them can- net refrain from expressing surprise at the sentence pronounced by the court-martial which tried Major Lydecker and found him guilty of gross neglect of duty. This officer belongs to the engineer corps and was in charge of the construction of a tunnel intended to increase the supply of water for domestic purposes in this city, Nearly $2,000,000 have been expended on the work, one-half of which conies from the citizens of Washington. By reason of gross frauds perpetrated by the con- tractors, in collusion with inspectors and oth- ers employed on the work, the tunnel is prac- ically useless for the purpose intended. It was established during the trial that these frands were mainly owing to the neglect of Major Lydecker, who seldom visited the tunnel to inspect the progress and character of the work being done. The court found the ac- cused officer guilty of this neglect, and yet the sentence was simply to be reprimanded and subjected to a fine of #900. Instances might be cited when officers for some breach of discipline, when not on duty, were dismissed from the service or snspended from rank for long periods on reduced pay. Major Lydecker's duty as superintendent of construction was a military duty, He was ad- judged guilty of neglecting to perform that duty, and the sentence of the court should have been commensurate with the offense. It is not alone that the government of the United States and the people of Washington have been defrauded of a large sum of money through Major Lydecker's negiect of duty, but the citizens of this District are to be made to suffer from the same cause for lack of a proper supply of fresh water, and this depriva- tion will continue for several years, because of Major Lydecker’s indifference and neglect. In passing upon the proceedings of the court the resident could add nothing to the sentence, but he took occasion to repremand the court for its leniency as well as to reprimand the accused for his guilt, ‘The court explains its extraordinary leni- ency on the ground that it was almost impossi- ble to supervise “in spaces so constructed as those above the arch of the tunnel.” But in offering this apology for its failure to apply a sentence in keeping with the findings and com- mensurate with the guilt of the accused the court overlooked the fact that Major Lydecker did not perform any supervisi d made no offer to do so. Had he made occasional visits to the tunnel the frauds might not have been attempted, or. if attempted, conld not have been successfully carried ont to the extent they were. It was not a case of trying and failing to perform a dificult duty, but one of failing to try atall. The action of this court-martial bears lightly upon Major Lydecker, but will sit heavily upon the engineer corps of the army, whose officers constitute a majority of the court. eee oes LENIENCY FOR LYDECKER. Two Million Lost on One Job—His So- cial and Army Backing Save Him. Washington Correspondence New York Star. Lydecker’s neglect of duty has been followed by the abandonment of the whole work as worthless at a loss of over $2,000,000, one-half of which has to be paid by the citizens of the District, who had no voice in his selection, and who clamored vainly for two years for his re- moval. For this gross neglect of duty Major Lydecker has been sentenced by court-martial to lose 7100. month for nine months and to be reprimanded in orders. ‘The findings of a noval court-martial made public at the same time afford a strong con- utenant-Commander Book was tried from his ship without permission. command of the United States ‘bor of Alaska, with her boilers rotten and use- less.
