Had it not been for the rain hoodoo that has hurt the Washington team so often this year, the Senators would surely have won the third game from New York yesterday. As it was the score stood 3 to 2 at the commencement of the fourth inning when the rain came down in tor- rents. The grounds were already in a very bad condition, the plentiful use of saw dust being the only thing that permitted the starting Of the game, so that the first few drops played such havoe with the field that Umpire Baker could but call the game at once. There were less than a thousand people present, and when the game was stopped most of them took ad- vantage of the first lull in the storm and broke for home, but a few remained to try to argue the management into giving rain checks. As the third inning had been completed this was refused, and many an angry man passed out of the gates. The score cards contained the names of Keefe and Daly and Keefe and Ewing as batteries, but for some reason the great Timothy did not take position when time was called, O'Day going into the box, although Crane was down on the card as extra. is was pie for Washington, and they had just be- gun to find Hank’s curves fora nice victory when the rain spoiled their fan and saved the record of the ex-Senator. Clarke appeared at short in place of Arthur Irwin, who was slightly FOR THREE INNINGS, . After Washington had gone out in order in the first New York scored two runs. Gore was hit in the back with a pitched ball. Richard- son. popped up a fly to Carney, but.Gentleman Ewing banged one away out into right field for about two bases, Beecher returned it to Clarke, who threw home to catch Gore, the ball go- ing way over Daly's head. Before it could be sent back Ewing had scored. Connor went out from Wise to Carney and Ward flied to Daly. In the second John Irwin made a scratch hit with two out and stayed on first, New York being retired in order. Hank O'Day smiled as Tom Daly faced him in the third, but he stopped smiling when Tom rapped the ball between O'Rourke and Gore for two bases. Carney flied out to Gore and then Hoy senta safe ‘one into the same field, Daly scoring when Gore threw high over Ewing’s head to catch him. Wilmot's sharp bounder wag too much for Connor to handle and Hoy tallied, Wise then lined a safe one into right and Wilmot took third, scoring on Clarke's safe hit past Ward. With Wise on third and Clarke on second John Irwin went out at first on a hit to Connor. O'Day went to first on balls in the last half, but a minute later Daly nailed him with a beau- tiful throw, and Hank, who was caught fully eight feet from the bag, was utterly unable to move, from the surprise and the mud. Gore fanned the air and Richardson flied to Wise. The fourth opened as though Washington had it in for O'Day, while Ewing. watching the clouds, played for rain, Keefe banged a fly into Lyon's hands, and then Carney and Daly hit safely for a base each. Then, with every prospect of at least one run, the home team had to give in to the storm and run for cover. Yashington made 7 hits and 1 error and New York 1 hit and 2 errors, IN OTHER CITIES. It was only the sequel to Washington's ill- luck to have the only game of the day played in Cleveland, and then to have it won by the Hoosiers. whom they have been chasing for ever so long. The score was 1 to 0, the game being close and sharp. Bakeley and Zimmer and Boyle and Buckley were the batteries, both doing great work. Cleveland made 2 hits and 1 error, and Indiahapolis 4 hits and 0 errors, Rain’ prevented the games in Boston and Pittsburg. In the latter city when the shower came the end of the second inning had been reached, the score standing 4 to 2in favor of Pittsburg. ASSOCIATION GAMES, At Philadelphia—Athletic, 7; St. Louis, 3, At Columbus—Columbus, 6; Cincinnati, 5. SAWDUST. Boston plays to-day if the grounds are in shape. Ferson says that the hitting of Gore on-Tuess. day, whereby New York scored its only run, was the result of an accident. He had wiped the per- spiration from his forehead and forgot to wipe his hand. He thus lost control of the ball on that pitch and hit the bateman. Jobn Irwin does not go after fouls for which he has to run as though he was very anxious to get them. He does not seem to run very hari, and to those in the grand stend it looks as though he were avoiding errors. Arthur Irwin is not in ee Ae shape and he lays off whenever he feels badly, This is wise, for he has.a good representative in Clarke, whose work at short is almost as fine as the captain's, The loss from Arthur’s absence, however, comes from the lack of snap that he seems to put into every game he plays. Beecher has one fault that will undoubtedly disappear in a few days. He is afraid of Hoy, moving very slowly and carefully whenever a fly ball comes between them. With a little ractice and some coaching he will probably trop this habit. He bats in first-class form and has done some good sacrificing. ‘There seems to be a “re ee the Senators overtaking the Hoosiers. e former are play- ing better ball, but, somehow or other, when- ever they win the others do, too. was sa Increase in Grand Army Membership.

The English Premier’s Annual Review of Home and Foreign Politics. Lord Salisbury, speaking at the annual min- isterial banquet at the Mansion house last even- ing, said that England's aim in foreign affairs was always ‘Peace, with honor,” Thunder clouds of war will overcast Europe, Concern- ing the immediate danger of a conflict, he re- garded the vast preparations that had been made as a great security for peace. The issues involved in war would be so frightful that na- tions shrank from challenging one another. Events in Egypt did not menace the perma- nent prosperity of that country. The disorder on the frontier would be suppressed. England had entered into engagements not to abandon Egypt until the latter was capable of maintain- ing her own government in the face of foes, and these engagements England would as- suredly fala.” Referring to Crete, he did not consider that there was any need to fear that the present movement would lead to a Euro- — disturbance. He repudiated the remotest jesire of seeing England in possession of Crete. The reports current to that effect throughout the continent were without foundation. Referring briefly to Ireland, he held that the result of the goverrment’s action was the bringing of order and prosperity throughout the country, and that if ever any section of the peasantry believed that their interests lay rather in defying than obeying the law, that lusion was rapidly disappearing. prions Hence 3 Not a Candidate for the Presidency. The New York Star publishes the following Sir: An item is going the rounds of the press to the effect thata new weekly newspaper is about to be established at Washington in my interest as a candidate for the presidency. Be kind enough to publish that it is absolutely without foundation. I am not and shall not be @ candidate for the nomination to that office nor toany other. There are men in the demo- cratic party much better entitled to its honors than I am and I expect to help the*best man to win, The item is absurd on its face and I ob- ject to being thought capable of such nonsense, Wituiam C. Wuitnerx. Lenox, Mass., July 31, 1889, ssc de «ean An Ocean Record Breaker. ‘New York Special to Baltimore American, July 31. The Inman’s ocean greyhound, the City of Paris, has just completed another remarkable record, She arrived off Sandy Hook at 8:14 o'clock this morning, having made the voyage | from Queenstown in 5 days 23 hours and 10 minutes. This is three minutes behind her famous record in May last. Her voyage just ended covered a distance of 2.797 miles, which is 58 miles shorter than her May voyage. She left yi on July 24 and Queenstown on July 25. Her best day's run was made July 27, when exactly 500 miles were traversed. runs were as follows: Jul; 27, 500 miles; July 496 miles; July 30, 492 mil Hook, 386 mi loggy and stormy the record would doubtless been lowered to at least 5 days and 20 hours. Head winds and heavy seas kept her back during almost the entire yi , but her passengers were confident to the that they would have the honor of crossing the ocean in the shortest time on record, up to last evening. Much betting on the result was indulged in, with odds greatly in favor of breaking the record. When the City of Paris came up the bay she carried historic flag at her foremast head. It was the same “Stars and Stripes” that Mr. Eiffel permitted H. B. Plant to raise ‘on the Eiffel tower at the Paris exposition on July 1 king flag when the City of Paris reached the wharf, for the heav; showers had drenched it till it hung limp ani soaked alongside of the huge mast. There were mafy persons of note in the saloon of the great greyhound, —————-2ee. The Valkyrie Wins a Race. The London yacht club held its annual re- gatta yesterdey.

Lord Brassey gave an “at home” to the Eighty club last evening in order to meet Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone. Mr. Gladstone was unable to be present. Mrs. Gladstone, respdnding to congratulations on her golden wedding, said that her husband was fatigued owing to over- work and was obliged to rest, Sir William Vernon Harcourt in a speech de- nied that the differences among the liberals over the royal grants meant a want of fidelity to their great leader. Every member of the party, from the highest to the lowest, was never more devoted to the chief than now. As for any separation between the liberals and Mr. Gladstone that was as likely as a separation between Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone, ughter. The liberals had an uphill fight, but they cor never have engaged it Greater or nobler battle. ————+e+- _____ The flint glass manufacturers and a com- mittee from the flint glass workers’ associa- tion will hold a wage conference in Pittsbr in a few days, The date has not been fixe but probably it will be arranged in a day or two.
