The residents and property owners on the road to Bennings are looking forward with some degree of hopefulness to the report @f the commissioners. It is expected that @mong the many other recommendations which ‘will be incorporated therewith will be one of the utmost importance to northeast Washing- ton and its environs. The present proposition isto have the commissioners estimate for a sufficient sum with which to condemn at least | 15 feet on each side of Bennings road from boundary to the Eastern branch; to cut down the banks which now carry e great deal of moisture from the adjoining land down to the road; to raise the causeway with the surplus @irt, and to build an iron bridge across the Eastern branch. For some time past it has been evideut to the most casual observer that the eld bridge has ut reached the limit of its Usefulness. In a little while an abattoir will be built near Beunings which will give employ- | Ment to not less than five hundred men, and | the increase of trafic, which must result, will | need a better road und a better bridge than | that which has to be used by an immense and | inereasing number of farmers and truck gar- | deners. A number of Washingtonians are making preparations for building for them- selves nomes on the hills beyond Bennings. Wm. MoKee’s Will.

PREPARING FOR DEPARTURE, There were busy times at the armory last night. Quartermaster Kelley was sitting at the receipt of customand the boys came down lively with their assessments and got their tickets. Quartermaster Sergeant O. V. Shomo was everywhere and working hard all the time, secing that every one was supplied with neces- sary clothing and blankets. Surgeon Leach was laying in a stock of the remedies which ex- perience tells him will be needed. Company officers were bustling around hurrying up stragglers and the stragglers were plotting mischief to be perpetrated on the sea shore. ‘The Washington girls were almost forgotten. Their places are gradually being filled by visions of the Philadelphia females who de- light in military escorts and whose souls are CHECKING THE CHAMPIONS. The ton—Other Contests. HOW THE GAME WAS WON—WILMOT AND BROTHER JOMN'S STICK WORK DID IT—THE CHAMPION- SHIP RECOKD—NOTES ABOUT CLUBS AND PLAYERS, “rhe Senators fell heirs to a streak of tuck in Boston yesterday and, although they were con- siderably outbatted and the fielding was even, they managed to squeeze outa victory by the score of 8 to 7 by tallying twice in the tenth to Boston's once. The game they played was a plucky one and rather surprised the 2,000 peo» ple present, who were confident of -# victory |for the Hub until the sixth sania ‘Statesmen made six runs and pus! one point. The batteries that started: were Keefe and Mack and Daley and Ganzel, but Keefe retired after he had given half a dozen bases on balls in three innings and Ferson took his place. This saved the day. for Ferson held the ball in excellent control and kept the hits of the Beaneaters well scat- tered. A FATAL INNING, In the sixth inning Mack opened with a single and Ferson and Daly (the latter playing first base) made safe infield hits, Then three bases on balls helped things along a little and three. runs were scored on John Irwin's beautiful two bagger. There were no more runs madg until the ninth, when Boston scored one and fied the tally on two two gers by Johnson and Quinn. Then in the tenth Ganzel hit for a base, went to second on Daley’s sacrifice and scored on Kelly's hit for two bases into right field. This gave the Hubbites a lead, and they might have won, but Arthur Irwin’s men were in for blood, and in their half they began again and scored twice. Ferson and Hoy waited to be sent to the base on balls and Wise hit safely, filling the bases, No one was out and the Statesmen felt pretty good when Wil- mot went to the bat, while the spirits of the crowd fell proportionately. One run to tie and two to win. Walter made it two by bang- ing the ball against the right-field fence, Hoy and Ferson scoring the winning runs, Wise reaching third and Wilmot second on the hit. No one was out and there is no telling how many more scores might have been made, but the game was won and that was enough. INDIVIDUAL PLAYING. Washington made 8 hits and 1 error, and Boston 13 hits and 1 error. Wise reappeared on second and accepted 3 of 4 chances, his er- zor being the only one for the team. Arthur Irwin put up a great game at short, making 6 assitss. Daly's work on first was perfect, and Mack caught without a flaw. Wilmot led the batting with a single and a two bagger, John Irwin made a double, and Wise, Hoy, Mack, Daly and Ferson each hit safe! For Boston Ganzel led with a home run and asingle, Kelly made a couple of two baggers, Quinn and John- son each a single and a two-vase hit, and Brouthers and Richardson two singles apiece. OTHER GAMES, ; The Hoosiers took # game from Cleveland, 7 to 6. Both teams scored im the ninth. Rusie and Sommers and Gruber, Snyder and Zimmer were the batteries. Indianapolis made 10 hits and 5 errors, and Cleveland 10 hits and 3 errors. New York and Philadelphia each took one of the two gi Code The Giants won the first, 7 to 3. Welch and Ewing and Gleason and Clements were the batteries. The game was exciting, Mutrie’s men winning on the strength of 4runs inthe ninth. New York made 11 hits and 5 errors, and Philadelphia 6 hits and 2 errors, The Phiilies were the people in the second contest, 11 to2. Crane and Brown and Buffin- ton and Clements were in the points. Phila- delphia made 10 hits and 2-errorsand New York 6 hits and 1 error. Chicago squeezed away from Pittsburg and yon by the score of 2 to 1. thereby breaking the winning streak of the Burgers. The bat- teries were Hutchinson and Farrell and Staley and Fields, Chicago make 5 hits and 2 errors and Pittsburg 6 hits and 3 errors, ASSOCIATION GAMES. At Cincinnati—Brooklyn, 10; Cincinnati, 4. At Kansas City—Kansas City, 7; Athletics, 6, HE RACE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP. The two big leaders of the league crept just a trifle closer to each other yesterday and made the race still more exciting. The success of Philadelphia in one of the es aided them greatly. gnd they will probably make another great effort to get one of the two games that completely wrapped up in the white coats of Col. Moore’scommand. Every effort is goin; tobe made to have the encampment a soci success, and hops and mock parades and long walks and nightly drives and quiet tete-a-tetes will be as numerous as circumstances will per- mit.

There is a bright prospect that the open ten- nis tournament which will be held" here on the 17th of September will be one of the nost suc- cessfubever held in this city. The arrange- ments are under the direction of representa- tives of latge tennis clubs of the city and everything will be done to make the occasion a notable tennis event. While of course at this early date it is impossible to say how many of the crack players of the country will evter for the tournament, yet there is good ground for the belief that there will be a {good fepresentation, The experience of last pore i greatly enjoyed by the players who i in the tournament. The Country ebabjot which they were guests, entertained thet royally, and ‘when the tournament was over and the players went home they alli united in expressions of warmest commenda- bee upon the hearty reception which had been ven them, ‘THIS YEAR they will be entertained at the same place by the residents of the District interested in ten- nis. One feature which was specially enjoyed by the visitors last year was the fact that they were quartered in the same house, where they could enjoy each other's society and at the same time meet with the tennis players of this city and their friends ina social way. With such pleasant recollections of Washington there seems to be no. reason to doubt that all who were here last year will come again this year and bring others. GENEROUS ASSISTANCE. The gentlemen who have been arranging for this tournament have met with generous re- sponse in their canvass for funds to guarantee the gutlay which a tournament of this kind will reqdire. They have had no difficulty in get- ting the money which is needed and will be in 8 position to offer handsome prizes in addition to other attractions, It may be arranged to have some games played on the grounds of the Bachelo club in this city in order to accommo- date those who may not be inclined to go out to Highland. It is expected that the people of the city will evince their interest in tennis by attending the tournament and give their finan- cial ant rsonal support the that is Seine made to advance. the interests of tennis in this locality. Great progress has already been made and the average of playing has steadily advanced each yeur and what is most needed is the generous patronage of the public. In the coming tournam ‘nt an opportunity will be afforded of seeing some of the best tennis players in the country. In this respect Washington is unusually favored. aes HUNGRY HOP WAH. A Chinaman Supposed to be Insane Turned Over to the Police. effort At the sixth precinct station there is a China- man locked up on suspicion that he is insane. His name is Hop Wah, and in the absence of any statement to the contrary his occupation was recorded as that of a laundryman His age is stated at thirty years, although he looks twice that old. He has long bushy hair, mus- tache and chin whiskers. Whether he is really insane or not is not known, but’the Chinaman’s appearance is enough to frighten almost any one. From the information received by the lice Hop is more lazy than crazy, although it may be acase of both. Hop Wab certainly does not like to work, but his cousin, Chong Lee, was of the opinion that he has too large an appetite. Chong told Sergt. Brosnan and Officer Mansfield how much of his- pro- visions Hop had been in the habit of eating without even doing any work. Chong ia become tired of feeding the “tramp” Chinaman and was anxious to get rid of him. All sorts of stories were circulated about poor Hop. One was that he spent most of his time in the parks trying to catch birds, and another one was that he was a dangerous man and carried a knife. As to the former charge no one blamed him, for the parks are leasant places to spend an hour or two. and if ke caught any birds he could then have broiled birds on toast. As to the charge of his being a dangerous man there is no proof. for Police- man Mansfield had heard the charge made against him and he had searched Hop, but he never found a weapon of any sort upon him, Hep does not speak very plain English and Py bly for that reason his actions seem queer. ‘t is evident that Hop will either have to go to the asylum or leave town, as his fellow-coun- | trymen do not seem to take much interest in him. He will be examined by the police sur- geons. Hop is the first Chinaman who was ever accused in this city of being insane, pin eee ee Proposed Bicycle Carnival.
