ORDERED OFF BY THE SERGEANT'S WIFE. ‘The first stop was made at Fort Foote, but the wife of the sergeant in charge of that forti- fication threatened to inform the War depart- ment if the party landed, and they concluded to steam away for another landing. Colling- wood Beach was next tried, but the gay excur- sionists found the sheriff anda posse of men armed with shotguns ranged along the wharf, warning them off. They were “sports,” not soldiers, and the sight of guns awed them, so turning around they steamed away. Somebody suggested River View, and it was decided to it. The party landed, telling the two men who were on the wharf that the excursionizts wanted to get a drink, and while the crowd were refreshing themselves the managers of the fight were busily engaged in pitching a ring. The ring was pitched ina picturesque spot on a hill overlooking the river. No time was lost in getting things in shape, and after Bill Ashton had been selected referee he promptly caued for the men. THE FIGHTERS. Kennedy was the first to ‘appear. He wore black tights and stockings and weighed 135 pounds. He was looked after by George Northridge. Reidy soon appeared clad in black, and when he threw his coat off to get to work ‘a murmur of admiration went up from the crowd. He seemed in excellent condition, and his white skin covered a set of muscles that looked like a bundle of spikes. Kennedy, on the other hand, seemed out of condition. ' Reidy stripped at 148 pounds. He was looked atter by Bitty McMillan. As the men were ordered to shake hands Reidy jumped to the middle of the ring, looking con- fident, while Kennedy was plainly nervous and his smile was twitchy and unnatural. THE FIRST ROUND opened with cautious sparring. Kennedy held a high guard and assumed the defensive, while Reidy fiddled for an opening, but only for a few seconds, when out went -his right and landed on Kennedy's ribs, leaving a pink tinge. Kennedy countered lightly on Reidy’s jaw, and received in return another hard one on the ribs, which shook him considerably. The men then clinched and were parted as time was called. HARD FIGHTING IN THE SECOND ROUND, The second round began with some hard fighting. Kennedy, still on the defensive, tried his utmost to ward off the blacksmith’s blows, but they rained in. Kennedy proved himself a clever sparrer, and several hard blows were nicely parried. Reidy looked like a sure win- ner in this round, and a terrific swinging right- hander from him, which would have knocked his man out had it landed, was cleverly dodged. He followed it up with a hard blow on Kenne- dy’s abdomen, but before he could get away re- ceived a hard one on the right eye. FIRST BLOOD was claimed and allowed for Kennedy. In the third rouud Kennedy got in some hard licks, but Reidy returned them witb in- terest, and it began to look blue for the Phila- delphian. The betting at the opening of the fourth round was 250 to $25 on Reidy. Both men opened cautiously. Reidy still forced the fight- ing and landed lightly on Kennedy's abdomen, but before he could get away received another smash in the fac It was evident that Reidy was playing for Kennedy’s wind. A series of rushes, dodges, and clinches closed this round. Reidy rested better than his antagonist, who was breathing pony when time was called for the fifth round. Both got to work immediately and several telling blows from Reidy made his opponent shaky. Reidy again tried his rushing tactics, but Kennedy would cleverly dodge him and clinch. In the breakaway Kennedy claimed he had been fouled, but it was not allowed. KENNEDY WAS EVIDENTLY GONE, for he tore off his gloves and refused to con- tinue the aight. After some coaxing, however, he resumed, and the sixth round opened auspiciously for Reidy. It was evident his opponent was at his mercy, for in the close fighting which opened the round Kennedy dropped to avoid punish- ment. As he was going down Reidy struck him a vicious blow on the head. “Foul,” “foul,” rang out from Kennedy's corner, but the claim was not allowed, the referee explaining the blow. Lorry 4 was helped to his corner where he tore off his gloves and refused absolutely, despite the entreaties of the sports present, to continue the fight. He quickly put on'his clothing and got outof the ring. Not respond- ing to the call of time the referee declared Reidy the winner. NEITHER MAN BADLY PUNISHED. It was evident to all at the beginning that Reidy would be the winner, for, aside from his splendid physique, he was very clever with his hands, Kennedy, on the other hand, while the cleverer sparrer, was timid. Neither was badly punished. The crowd arrived inthe city about 10:30 o'clock p. m, A CARR ‘To the Editor of Tux Star: ‘The alleged prize-fight, mentioned as having taken place at River View, did not occur with my consent, as the parties engaged took ad- vantage of the absence of any excursion on the grounds and landed.

At theregular monthly meeting of the Old Guard, veteran corps, lastevening, the execu- tive committee reported that the late garden bazar netted #850; that the drawing of the buggy had been completed and awarded to number 2040; that Comrades A. H. Van Dusen and 8. M. Gordon, having sold over 100 tickets each, had been awarded the round-trip tickets to Milwaukee. The gold watch to be given the lady selling the highest number of tickets’ was awarded to Miss Ethel Dinsmore. The com- mittee on the trip to the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Milwau- kee in August next nge that they had Ganzel were the batteries. Boston made 10 hits and 4 errors and Chicago 5 hits and 7 errors. After getting a lead on Pittsburg the Phillies disintegfated badly in the eighth and ninth and 9 runs were scored, the Smoky City folks winning by the score of 10 to 3. The batteries were Staley and Miller and Gleason and Clem- ents. Pittsburg made 12 hits and 4 errors, and Philadelphia 9 hits and 8 errors. Myers and Mulvey each made 2 errors, rather a bad begin- ning for the ex-Senator. New York found a bunch of hits in the seventh and thus won from Indianapolis by the score of 8 to 6. Rusie, Burdick, Myers and Daily served as batteries for the Hoosiers, and Welch and Brown for the Giants. New York made 12 hits and 4 errors, and Indianapolis 9 hits and 2 errors, At Kansas City—Columbus 13, Kansas City 9. BALL NOTES, Myers signed a Philadelphia contract yester- day afternoon and President Hewett imme- diately closed his negotiations for the services of McCoy, the slugging third baseman from Chattanooga. He frill join the team next Mon- day, in the game here with Chicago. He will play third and Sam Wise will go to second for a time. It is very likely that Sweeny and Healy will be released before long. Mr. Hewett ré- ceived the comfortable sum of $4,000 for Myers’ release, ‘There are no games scheduled for the league to-day, but there may be some postponed games played off. To-morrow the Senators open in Chicago, playing two games. They play there also on Friday and Saturday and then the two teams come east together, play- ing here three games next week, beginning Monday. Indianapolis appears here for three games next week, starting Thursday, and then will come Pittsburg and Cleveland. ‘The Sena- tors play in Boston July 22. The other Fourth of July games are New York at Pittsburg, Philadelphia at Indianapolis, and Boston at Cleveland. There was joy in Cleveland last night when it became known that the Infants had won and the Beaneaters had lost. The Babes are now within a game or two of the lead. Wait for the great game next Friday between the Reporters and the Policemen for the bene- fit of the police relief fund. The Marine band will play—music, The managers of the Douglass and the Never- sweat teams kindiy volunteered to surrender the use of Capito! park for the Reporter-Police- men game on Friday. These teams will play on Saturday. They are both rivals of the Cuban Giants, x ———_ THE NEW LIBRARY BUILDING. Superintendent Greene Expects to Have the Cellar Story Completed This Year. A vast expanse of muddy excavation, the bottom of which is almost entirely covered with huge blocks of granite;a few low brick walls, three or four lofty derricks, half a dozen rough frame sheds, a couple of piles of lumber, and thousands of brick, all hedged around and shut out from the gaze of the passer-by by se¥eral thousand feet of high wooden fence. That's the site of the six-million-dollar Con- gressional library building as it appeared to a Star reporter who yesterday walked past the watchman and the vicious-looking dog who keep guard over the entrance on 2d street southeast. When it is not raining there is a force of at least 250 men at work, and their uumber is being continually added to. At present labor is directed to the masonry for he foundations and to the erection of the area walls and footings for the cellar story. The combination of brick and granite in this por- tion of the work will be in the nature of a rev- elation to builders. The brick used on the ex- terior will be enameled and of an ivory-white tint, and the contrast with the solid-colored and rugged granite will be a strik- ing one, utterly unlike anything ever seen here up to the present time. American manufacturers have been noisily critica® of the action of the library authorities in purchasing the enameled brick from an English firm, but the facts developed show that when those bricks were contracted for there was but one yard in the country where such bricks were made, and its proprietor, although urged tocompete, made no bid. Now there are several native firms engaged in the manufacture of the enameled article, but they cannot as yet compete with their British rivals, The English brick is fully one-third larger than the American building-block, while the price of the former is.a little less than that of the latter. In color and construction the Amer- ican brick suffers somewhat by comparison. It ts Superintendent Greene's purpose to have the entire cellar story complete this fall, so that everything may be roughly roofed in before the snow comes to stop work until spring. Then the granite super structure will be com- menced, ‘The material to be used in this is that for which bids were opened last Saturday. De- livery will commence very soon after the award has been made by Gen. Casey. Just now the humerous samples are being thoroughly tested. The texture and color will be considered and the contract will fe, to the firm or individual whose granite will be best adapted for the par- ticular work to be done. ‘The red brick used is made here and the English-enameled brick is received through a Washington contractor. The sand and broken stone for the concrete foundations are fur- by Washingtonians and the excavations con- tract is also in the hands of a local firm. pedicel Ovr Stone will be closed the entire day to- morrow, as advertised elsewhere, E LpHonso Younos Company.—Advertisement, ee A Trip To THE OceaN.—The $5 excursion tickets to Atlantic City, Cape May, and Sea Isle City, announced by the Pennsylvania Railroad, are now on sale.
