The Tournament Under a Blazing Sun for the District Championship. There was only one game played in the singles in the District tennis touraament yesterday. Good progress was, however, made in playing off the doubles, the first round being nearly completed. The attendance was as good as on the two previous days. and the weather was quite as hot. The latter will be apt to re- main in the memories of those taking part in the tournament as the feature of the occasion. Tennis players have never before been favored with such a liberal allowance of sultry weather during a tournament. playing has been remarkably good, and the series of games has demonstrated the fact, which was generally recognized, that the Dis- trict players have attained a high degree of skill and excellence im the game. THE PLAYING YESTERDAY. Only one game in the singles was played yesterday. Mr. Boag met Mr. Throckmorton, and after a contest which was well sustained throughout Boag won, the score being 6-2, 6-3. The scores in the doubles were as follows: Boag and Byrnes beat Ames and Barclay by default. Chilton and Goodfellow beat Ward and Olds 6-3, 6-0_ Peter and Peter beat Butter- worth and Cilly 5.

It was a most satisfactory contest, and the handful of spectators who braved the intense heat were well repaid. The work of the States- men was in sharp contrast to that of the day before, and they worked for a victory from the start to finish. Their batting was especially fine, and they began savagely enough to de- moralize a weaker team than Anson's. Wil- mot and Wise carried off the honors of the day and gave their batting records a er= ous boost toward the top of the list. The former was a perfect terror at the bat and his fielding was of a phenomenal order. Sweeny, who don’t want to go to Denver, played third base and Sam Wise covered second. The bat- teries were Ferson and Daly and Tener and Farrell. The honor for the success of the game should be pert iven to Daly, whose steady work behind the bat was most encour- aging. He did his share in batting, also, and infused a good deal of life into the game. HOW IT WAS DONE. The Senators won the game in the first in- ning, when they made 4runs. Hoy hit for a base and Wilmot banged a safe one at Duffy, who fumbled. Then Daly made a sharp two- base hit, and Sam Wise enabled the third man to score by hitting the ball for two bases. Ir- win sacrificed, and Mack, after Carney had flied out, drove a hit out into the right field, and Sam scored the fourth run amid great en- thusiasm. Daly’s hit was into left field, and both Van Haltren and Ryan ran for it and tum- bled over each other. Wilmot did about the same in the visitors’ half on Duffy's single after two were out. Anson went to first on balls and Pfeffer drove Duffy home with a neat single. Anson was left on third. The Statesmen added to their lead in the second. Two were out when Wilmot smashed the ball to the center-field fence and reached tnird. Then Daly came to the scratch and lined out a single, earning Walter's run. The visitors also rallied in their half on hits by Burns and Tener. Neither side could score again until the fifth, when Chicago crept a lit tle nearer the home team and made people nervous. Ryan sent the ball over to the left fence and made second on the hit. Car- ney fumbled Van Haltren’s drive along the line, of which Daly gave him timely warning, and Duffy scored Ryan on his single. Anson’s ball went to Sweeney, who touched third but threw a little badly to first. Then Pfeffer drove one to Carney,who could only throw Anson out at second, but Wilmot pulied the team out of a rather bad inning by making a wonderful run- ning catch of Farreli’s short fly. The Senators filled the bases on two bases on balls and a hit by Mack in the seventh, but could not score. They kept right on shutting out their opponents, however, and in the ninth Sam Wise made himself solid with the crowd by banging the ball over the right-field fence. The ball crossed half-way between the foul line and the corner—a wonderful drive. This made victory certain, for Chicago had | their weak end at bat and could not hit for more than one run in their half. This was the result of little piece of bad play on the part of Sweeney, He first fumbled Tener’s drive, | | In spite of the heat the | Chicago 7 hits and 4 errors. | seven bases. | and Woodward beat | him. | | The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows for the | District of Columbia met last night in Odd Feliows’ hall. on 7th street.

He tumbled over and over. but Mack was right behind him and had the ball to Wise so quickiy that Van Haltren was called out and Anson was dumbfounded. In the meantime Tener had just crossed the plate, scoring a scratch run. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Washington made 13 hits and4 errors and Wilmot was the leader in batting, with four hits and a total of Wise hit three times and had a total of eight bases. Mack made three singles Daly two siugles and Hoy one. Irwin played an excellent game at short, acccepting all of eight chances. Wise made a beautiful stop of a ball that caromed off Ferson from Van Haltren’s bat the second and put Bastian out at second base. It was made by Wis lott hand tar extended. Ho showed « bit of stupidity, however, in running, when, in the seventh, he allowed himself to be caught off first. Daly worked like a beaver yesterday to de- feat his former ciub, He caught beantifully, jot having the semblance of a passed ball. He backed up first and third in good style and layed throughout with refreshing vim.

Unless he drops in his work @ will be a good partner for faithful Mack. It is doubtful if the Washingtons have had a stronger nine on the field than they presented yesterday. Perhaps an exception should be made of Sweeny. But he will be a first-class ball-player when he steadies himself, If Sam Wise can play second as he did yes- rday Al Myers never will be mixed. Wilmot has struck his gait and fields and bate like a demon.

STATEMENT OF PURSER GARNETT. ‘The defendant was sworn in his own behalf and testified that when Lucinda and Susan Johnson registered they did not ask for a state- room. At Shepherds landing the office was closed and it was not again opened until the steamer reached Fort Foote. When the steamer reached Indian Head, about 16 miles below Alexandria, the came and wanted a state room. Mr. Lewis said he would not ask the de- fendant what he said because it was NOT IN THIS JURISDICTION. “Did they ask you for a state room more than once?” inquired the court. “Yes, sir,” replied the defendant, ‘They made the second application when the boat was farther down the river.” “When they asked you at Indian Head for a state room,” said Prosecuting Attorney Armes, “what was your reply?” “T told them they were all engaged.” “Were they all engaged?” “J don’t know whether they were or not.” “When you got farther down the river,” said Mr. Armes, ‘what did you tell them?” “TI told them that I did not rent state rooms tocolored people,” replied the defendant, “I never had received any orders to that effect, but I would not rent them.” OTHER TESTIMONY. Benjamin Owens, pilot of the steamer Wake- field, testified that on the day charged, when the boat was near Indian Head, the defendant told him that the two women had just applied for a state room. Mr. Ridley, agent of the steamboat company, testified that the colored women came to the oftice a week after the alleged violation of the law and claimed $1,000 damage or threatened asuit. Witness told them that he would pay them nothing and advised them to secure an attorney and bring their suit. Inspector Block of the police force testified to statements made to him by the colored wo- men. The case willbe continued this after- noon. ————_— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. VITAL STATISTICS.

Sammy Simpson. a fourteen-year-old colored boy who has been staying in South Washington, was in the dock of the Police Court yester- day, charged with stealing a cane from Sickles cigar store. As the boy entered the dock he faced the prosecuting witness, “You —— ofa——, I'll fix you,” said the boy. Then he plead guilty to the charge. “What did you take the cane for?” the judge asked the boy. “He didn’t see me take the cane,” replied the boy. “Why did you plead guilty, then?” asked the judge. “Because he saw me have it.” The boy said that parents live in. the country, but he has been living with Mra, Jones on the Island. “Pll send you where you will be in the coun- try for some time,” said Judge Miller. “You can go to the reform school until you are twen- ty-one years old.” ——— Expensive Bathing For the Boys. “Let's go swimming.” “All right; come ahead.” Then the boys started. There were eight small colored boys in the party. Their day's labor was over. and a refreshing bath, they thought, would do them good. The pond of stagnant water near the Eckington and Balti- more and Ohio roads was the place selected, and away went the boys. It was nearly 7 o'clock when they shed their clothing and plunged into the pool. There were several policemen in sight and the boys were all cap- ured, Among them wasason of the colored man Ware who had made the complaint against the boys leading to their arrest.

A Presbyterian Divine Finds Valuable Suggestions in the Recent Meeting. From the Chicago Tribune. “If Mr. Brobst has never been a professional trainer sermon is a great compliment to his imagination,” said a gentleman from Clark street who was attracted to the Westminster Presbyterian church last evening by the an- nouncement that the minister would preach on “Prize Fights.” * Mr. Brobst turned the thoughts of his audi- ence into pugilistic channel: the outset by reading about ‘God's strong right arm” in the ninth verse of the Ninety-cighth Psalm. He quickly followed this by a lesson from Paul's assage, ‘I have fought a good fight.” Then e prayed that the audience might enter the arena of Christian faith. nally he selected for the choir the most combative hymn in the song book, ‘Brightly Gleams our Banner.” Having thus prepared his audience, Mr. Probst rolled up his sleeves ittle from the cuffs and attacked the subject of the discourse. His text was the sentence in Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth: jo fight I, not as one beating the air.” “The gaze of this nation and foreign coun- tries,” he said, “is now centered on two men. ‘The ‘telegraph’ is throbbing with their move- ments. The daily press is given up to accounta of their condition. The pictorial press is filled with cuts of their every muscle. The world has followed them south to New Orleans, Three governors have issued proclamations to Prevent their meeting. But they will meet, and they will meet to-morrow! “Who are these two men? They are two trained pugilists—two men of brawn. One is John L. Sullivan, who has amassed a fortune of over 2600,000 through his prowess in the prize ring. The other is Jake Kilrain, who thinks he ean knock the Boston champion out. “See them as they face each other for the fight!” Mr. Brobst cemie himself behind the pul- pit. He threw his fists before his breast in a defensive, yet ready attitude. He slugged from the shoulder. he sparred, he countered, he even closed with the pulpit, and could easily have thrown it over the ropes—from the rostrum, People almost arose in their seats in the inten- ity of their interest. Has the word advanced since the days of the Coliseum?” asked Mr. Brobst, after in which he rubbed himself down witl handkerchief. lar, and those uu his “Has the world advanced? See the money poured out like water to witness | this modern encounter. It used to be poured out in Rome in the same way, But Cwsar then oured it out. The nobility poured it out. Maidens poured it out. But the President of the United States is not on his way to New Or- leans. And the three governors who have is- sued their proclamations will not act as refer- No ladies will be present. In view of this difference in the class of attendants then and now I say the world bas advanced. “Look at the preparation these two men have gone through,” he said. “A short time ago they were drinkers, sensual, beastly. But for weeks and months they have been temperate—they have denied themselvés, They have passed through the severest training. Talk about taking up your cross, Christians! You ought to be eehinned of yourselves. Take a lesson in hard- ship aud denial from these pugilists! Think how they have worked to be ready for a fight which may last only a half-hour. “What a lesson this is to us! went on Mr. Brobst “Many of us letting the time for pre- paration slip by when we have heaven's battle ‘See the force they exert in the ring,” said Mr. Brobst, ‘the will power, the determination. They hnrl themselves against each other. They struggle for hour after hour, round after round, until one falls. “They bend their every muscle and evé thought to the fight,” continued Mr. Brobs' “They are willing to kill themselver to achieve victory. Take another lesson, Christians! “Then look at their skill. They have spent years learning the art of parrying, and striking, and grappling. Their training has aroused the faculties of their brains, so that they are ra- tional in their work. They know what they are doing in the thickest of the fray. Ministers hear it said that if they want to preach good sermons they should go into the pulpit and leave it to God to teil them what to say. But it takes skill to preach a good sermon. Minis- tera, take a lesson from the prize fighters! Christians, take another lesson! ‘Look. next, at the courage of these two men. We hear of Sullivan’s boasting and Kil- ri self-confidence. If we could get near enough to them to-night, just on the eve of the battle to-morrow morning, I expect we could hear their hearts beat with anxiety, Reports get started that this one and then that one is going to back down. You hear it said that their trainers have to spur them up to make them come to the scratch. Well, it takes cour- age to walk into a prize ring and stand up be- fore a human catapult and take the chance of having your jaw bone knocked out of recogni- tion, But did you ever hear of prize fighters failing to come to time? These men will come to time in the morning just as the Brooklyn champion a few weeks ago showed up fresh after losing one side of his face, ‘The eyes of the world are on these men,” said Mr. Brobst, ‘‘and they will face each other. hc ecgrad lesson from their courage, Chris- is! “Look at the toughness of these two men. They are no delicate fellows, They are not to be scared by a fire-cracker, They are not to be paralysed bya scratch. They stand up as that man in Brooklyn did and take ox-fe! blows.

Sometimes 130 visitors and servants are at Hatfield at atime. The upper servants dress for dinner, though for that matter they are usually in evening dress, and my ex-butler told me that forty servants, male and female, in full dress, often sit down to dinner in the upper servants’ hall. is includes, of course, the valets and ladies’ maids of visitors. Of course a very important item in the in- come of these servants is contributed by tips, which they call “‘vails,” a correct but some- what unusual word. The servants who come most in contact with visitors receive fully half their wages over again in the form of tips. Lord Salisbury spends a fortune every year among employes at Hatfield, indoors and out, He has, for instance,a head gardener with twenty-five assistants, and a forester with twenty men under him. The total yearly ex- penditure of Lord Salisbury is about $400,000, and he is not one of the richest of his class. ‘hese facts only apply to the very exalted, They find the life to be one of uninterrupted and balmy content. The servants of the smart but poorer people in the west end of London do not have nearly such a good time. These are the people who must keep showy men servants. but cannot afford to have a proper supply of help in the kitchen. It is generally believed that when they have their houses crowded at the height of the London season the servants are stowed away to sleep somewhere in the cellars. A London journalist recently told me a story of aseryant of Lord Salisbury'’s who was quite a political personage at the time his master was about to form a ministry, in the autumn of ’86. The journalist in question is the parliamentary correspondent of several of the best provincial papers in England, and is a man of tremendous ligmity. He has been about the world a great deal and has seen some fighting, and is big, stout-bearded, and strong-voiced. He does not ordinarily condescend to “door stepping,” as the London reporters call going to houses where they are snubbed. He still boils with Fage when he tells of this experience. hen the unionist majority was returned to — in 1886, there was considerable de- lay on the part of the queen in sending for Sal- isbury to form a ministry, and it was rumored that Lord Hartington would be summoned. me aes were calling at Salisbury’s house, in Arlington street, all day long. One morning a peper announced that Salisbury had gone to moral, where the queen was at that time. My friend, the journalist, rushed around to Ar- lington street. There he wasereceived by Mr. Sands, the marquis’ hall porter, He asked Sands if it was true that Lord Salisbury had gone to Balmoral, and Sands replied in a calm and stately way, lordship his now hup stairs hin bed.” The journalist immediately went away and sent out to the papers what was a | good item of news ofa negative kind. Next | morning it was officially announced tha: Salis- | bury had gone to Balmoral with his list of min- isters, correspondent found that at the moment the hall-porter had said that Lord Sal- isbury was in bed upstairs, he had really about reached Edinburgh on his way north. “Almost | overcoms with fury he went round to Sands | once more and demanded to know what he meant by telling him such lies, But Sands was 6 feet 2 and unabashed, and he answere: “You be damned, My business is to look after my master. You've got nothing to do with it. Ishall tell you as many lies as I like. Go away.” Then he slammed the door in the newspaper man’s face. Lord Salisbury play- fully speaks of Sands as his ‘‘treasure.” “There are many such in England. Indeed I know of no quality whick ix esteemed more highly among Englishmen than this sort of rude loy- alty. A man servant is very often of measure- less value to the spendthrift and broker British gentleman. He acts asa buffet and a shield, and guards his master’s interests to the end, | even when he has nothing in the world to gain. As I have said, he believes his master to be of ahigher order of mankind and is content to serve him to the end. —se.-—___ The mayor of New York has still $350,503.05 in hand for the benefit of the Johnstown suf- erers, While temporarily insane yesterday Mrs, ; Samuel Shoemaker, fifty years old, residing near Scotland, Pa., hanged herself in her gar- ret with a handkerchief.
