F. Schneider, to exert his most artistic skill in the production of a brownstone front and convenient and ele- ant interior. In addition to this the judge is iating for the purchase of a large K-street corner property, which he will greatly improve as soon as the purchase is consummated.

Now, how- ever, there has come a change, and the pros- pects for a busy, prosperous season in the building trades is now assured.

COSTLY RESIDENCES, The recent sale of Judge Wylie’s house to Chie? Justice Fuller for 2100,000 is one of several uotable sales of similar pieces of property, as.for e residence of Mr. Alexander Graham resident Morton. the residence of It to the new Senator from Michigan, Mr. McMillan. and the residence of ex-Seeretary Whitney to Postmaster General Wanamaker. All the ber fine large residences borhood of $100,000. ago that $65,000 wx the northeast corner and K streets. The value of Washington pre v is considered to be pretty firmly estabiished when men are will- ing to pay such large sums for ahome. These instances, however, are the exceptions. as the bulk of the honses offered for sale in the city are heid at much lower figures. SENATOR SAWYER'S HOME.

Miss Lewis isa Washington girl who has won recognition in the dramatic profession by honest work, and her career has been watched with satisfaction by a large circle of friends. It is understood that Mrs. Hurrison and Mrs. McKee have se- cured a box and that the audience will be a Irrge and distinguished one. Tur Cuorat Society Festivan.—The grand musical festival of the Choral Society. for which elaborate preparations having been going on for months, will be held on Friday and Saturday of next week. The society will be assisted by the famous Boston symphony orchestra of sixty-five artists, under the conduct of Mr. Wm. Gericke, and it will be the farewell ap- -arance in Washington of this superb orgaui- zation. The soloists will be Mrs, Geo, Hens- chell, soprano; Mr. Geo. Henschell, basso; Mme. Teresa Carreno. pianist, and C. M. Loeff- ler, violinist. There will be three concerts-- one on Friday night, one on Saturday after- noon and the last on Saturday night. On Friday night Mr. and Mrs. Henscheli will ap- pear in connection with the orchestr-, the former singin; Wotan’s Farewell and Fire Charm Toon Wagner's “Die Walk- ure,” and the latter Liszt’s beantiful song. “Loreley.” At Saturday's matinee Mr. icefiler will play a fantasie, by Bruch, with harp and orchestra accompaniment, end Mme. Carreno will play a Liszt polonaise. The la concert will be a grand production of Dvorak the Baltimore and Ohio railroad there is a good deal of activity in property matters just at present, as is the case, generally speaking. along the lines of the other roads leading out of the city. The railroad company is gradu- ily waking up to the fact that Washington is ‘owing and that modern methods are needed in suburban railroad management. On the Washington branch there are now each day some twenty-five trains daily between Washington and Baltimore. A complete line of villages and suburban residences is gradually being formed, extending some miles from this city, At Montello, a station which is within the District lines, « large tract of land has been subdivided. Beyond, at Mills’ station, D. J. Howell, of this city, civil engineer, is sub- divicing a piece of prope ;for Mr. Edwin A. Newman. who recently pur -bated .. portion of the Clark Mills’ place.

On the opposite side of the railroad there is a sub- division of land and several cottages have been erected.

This performance will be under the direction of Dr. H. C. Sherman, conductor of the Choral. society, to whose in- telligent instruction the present high standard of the society is largely due. This venture of the Choral society is more ambitious than any ever attempted by a local organization and de- serves the hearty encouragement of all true lovers of music.

All hail to the storm king, for he aided the Washington ball ciub yesterday to win another game from the Philadelphians, His Incky in- terference atthe right time caused the calling of the game when the score was 3 to 0 in favor of the Statesmen, and when the Phillies were just beginning to score. Six innings were com- pleted and the s@venth half played before a eyclone danced upon the scene and shook its fist in the face of the crowd, causing a scatter- ing for cover. It had the field all to itself for a quarter of an hour, and played a great game with the dust. Then it calmed down, and the players began preparations to resume work. But the hoodoo favored the Senators, for the rain came just as Umpire McQuade opened his mouth to call play, ‘The game, it seems, was a pitchers’ race in which young Ferson came ont ahead of Gleason by alength. He was aided by the gri fielding of the Statesmen, and the game was won on its merita, : THE GAME, The Philadelphia Press thus tells how the thing was done: “The Philadelphia club lost another game to Weshington yesterday, and Fogarty and Hallmanare directiy responsible for the defeat. The visitors had everything their own way, Even the elements were with them, for, when the Phillies were just begin- ning to locate the puzzling rising ball which Ferson was pitching, the storm which swept over the city, struck the ball park, and the game was stopped. Philadelphia had run in the seventh inning, but as the had not been at bat the game went back to the sixth inning, which gave Washington a clean knock out by a score of 3 to 0 unpleasant return of compliments. “There were few features ontside of the fine exhibition of pitching which Gleason gnd Fer- son gave. Hallman, in spite of his costly errors, made several fine stops of hard hit grounders and prevented Waslington from scoring two runs in the third inning. There was a runner on second and one on third, with two men out, when Myers drove a hot grounder between second and third, which Hallman, bya magnifi- cent effort, stopped and threw the ball to rar in time to catch the runner. Had the 1 got past Haliman, two runs would have been scorcd, In the fourth Wise sent a long fly into left center, which looked good for three bases, but Fogarty, by a hard run, got under the ball, which lodged safely in his hands. The visitors also did their share of brilliant fielding. In the third inning Fogarty sent a hot liner at Ferson, who made x wondertul stop and threw the run- In the sixth inning Shoch made a Delehanty’s fly ball, and in the atch of a foul rst base which brought forth loud ap- ner out, “Both teams were blanked in the first two in- nings, but the visitors managed to get in a run in the third. After Mack had gone out on a fly to Fogarty, and Ferson had struck ont, Hoy hit into lett for a base; Shoch was presented with a base on ball ney hit imto center f base, Fogarty juggled the ball avd Hoy sco! In the fourth Morrill scored on Hailman’s ve wild throw, Donnelly’s sacrifice and Hallman‘s fumble. Washington scored another unearned run in the sixth on hits by Myers and Morrill und Schriver’s passed ball. "Up to the begin- ning of the seventh inning Philadelphia had only got one man as far as third base, but in the seventh Andre@s led off with a doubl reached third on Donnelly’s mu: U, and scored on Hallman’s lon; Sehriver was on second when Gile: Wise, and the storm stopped the game, PHILADELPHIA COMMENTS, The Inquirer says: “It was a game which neither John Montgomery Ward or Arthur Ir- win, had they been on the team, could have The Washingtonians simply outplayed Phillies, won, the a notable battle be- een the pit » the visitors made hits off Gleason to the F ies 4 off Ferson, it must be said for Gleason that 3 of the Sena- tors’ hits were very lucky, and one of them s a seratch, With the exception of Don- lly’s two errors, the visitors put up a perfect ling game, while the two errors 1 e by Hallman were responsible for one of the Was ington’s runs.

This is the record of the season’s work so far as it has progressed, by which it will be seen that New York is leading, with good chances for staying in the van, and Washington is still at the other end of the ‘phone, with improved prospects for going higher very soon: ‘THE CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD, National League, 0.

They have, up to this afternoon, played four games, of which they have won two and lost two, They have accomplished what some pes- simists declared they would not, namely, secured a percentage. This Saturday, instead of the six ciphers that constituted the sole record of the season’s work they have credit for having won 18 2-10 per cent of the games they have played, which is better, ‘immeas- ureably better, than having won none atall, WHAT THEY MAY Do, It would seem only reasonable to expect that the Statesmen will do at least as well by the Hoosiers as they have by the Phillies, with the chances good for doing even better, taking into consideration the fact that they will be playing on their own grounds witha team that is not an avowed pennant-seeker. After Indianapolis comes Chicago for four games, but those are too far away to make any Predictions about. ~ it looks as though the 9 team is now playing as it will continue until some new men are se~ cured from outside, with the exception of CARNEY. 80 often and so has become a great favorite here.

His four hits on Wednesday saved the day, and made people think that he bad not forgotten how to wield the willow after all. Wilmot is not in shape yet for work and hoch is doing well enough in left field. The Hoosiers play here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Puavein . The Senators ought to take at least two games. and their would be rejoicing if they should take three. Then | Chicago plays four games, and jadging from the record so far this year there is no reason why’ the Senatorial aggregation should not break en with Anson’s men, Comparing the work of Healy and Whitney on Thursday, Mr. Hewett was not, as some people proclaimed, so far wrong when he ex- changed the two men, Healy is more apt to improve in his work than Whitney, ohn Ward says that he does not think there is any possibility of his going to Philadelphia. He thinks that his decision not to come here was 2 wise one, and he tells folks that he thanks his stars that he acted as he did. Crane, of New York, sprained a cord in his leg while running bases on Thursday and will be unable to pitch for two months, ‘Tim Keefe's signing is very opportune, for Welch has alame side and is unfit for work. This was the cause of Ewing's pitching Thurs- day. He was batted hard, but the team won by batting Madden at the right time. ‘The heavy batting still continues, and the clubs average over 9!g hits to the game. This insures interest, and will tend to make base ball even more popular than before. —— THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
