There is nothing that excites more interest and enthusiasm in an “Old Virginian” than a tournament. Indeed. the interest in this novel Sport extends throughout the south and may be traced to an admiration, which most southern- ers possess, for the heroes of chivalry. It is needless to say that the tournament here last week was great success. From early morn- ing the country people began to pour in, and by noon the fences along the s leading to the hotel were lined with teams of all sorts, and all day long the verandas of the hotel were crowded with interested spectators, Riding began at 3 o'clock, and after an exciting con- test Mr. Wm. H. King carried off the first prize— # bandsowe set of harness. The other prizes were won by Messrs. Skinkers, Turner and Hungerford. The ball at night was a fitting close to a very successfulevent. Miss Lula Hester was crowned queen, Miss Bessie McGowan first maid of honor. Miss Mary Hester second maid and Miss Lila Washington third maid. A few evenings ago Mrs. Starkey of Washing- ton celebrated the birthday of her daughters, Misses Eva and Blanch. at their guarters,Cam) Lookou:.

The Chinese Consul General at San Francisco Doomed. A San Francisco special to the New York Herald says: Chinese Consul General Leong Hong Tsang has not yet been sued by Bock Hing to recover the money due to the victims of the Chinese riots, which he is alleged to have illegally retained. The reason, as stated by a prominent Mongolian merchant, is that the money is being paid over to the claimants as rapidly as possible, and when this is done ‘Taang will be recalled. “and what then?” was asked. “Off goes his head. He can make no atone- ment for his act if the government finds him guilty.” ; Ge then he would be foolish to go back at all, Ob, ehey ba bringing, people , they have away o! peop! back. Tsang has a father and, I think, » mother living, bo ear with brothers and sis- ters, If he abould refuse the order to go back do you know what would be done. Why, the last ove of them would be i in prison, If he held off for a year one of his closest relatives would die; then another would follow until the entire race of Tsauge had been swept from China. Any man of feeling would prefer to deliver himself up rather than have his old Be rente tortured and his relatives butchered. No, sir. He will not lose a moment when instructed to go home, though he will know that it may mean certain death.” soe —______ Go ox Fripay axp Saturpar Evenrxe to Marshall Hall excursion.

From the Boston Transcript Apropos of the great strike among the dock laborers the following description of the Lon- don docks may prove interesting. Compara- tively few of the Americans who annually cross the seaon tours of summer pleasure have visited the docks of London. They may stand on London bridge and look down the Thames to the great shipping center, but the itinerary of the American sightseer does not usually in- clude an inspection of the city below the tower. THE KILLING OF TERRY. David Dudley Field Thinks that Nagle ‘Was Justified in Shooting. From the Herald. Chicego David Dudley Field, the nestor of the bar of this country, is stopping in Chicago for the first time in nearly thirty years. He passed through the city in 1874 on his tour around the world, but did not remain more than a few hours, In 1860 Mr. Field was in Chicago as a supporter of Abraham Lincoin, and was in- strumental in a large degree in bringing about his nomination. Since then the great lawyer has had no opportunity of seeing how the western metropolis has grown. “Are you willing to give an expression of opinion as to the shooting of Terry by Deputy Marshal Nagle?” a reporter asked. “Certainly I am. Every citizen ae to have an opinion and ought to express it. My readiness to do so is not lesse: by the fact that Judge Field is my brother. Does any one = serge iat Pete = be oa = “What was Nagle’s le; i tio: “I think Nagle was Jastified in what he did. The law of California is plain in its provisions for such a case. The of the penal code—I quote only from memory—is to the effect that any citizen is justified in taking life to prevent an unjust assailant from doing great bodily injury to an innocent person.’ More- over, Nugle was deputed to attend the judge and to see thatno harm came tohim. Terry, inastealthy manner, arose from the table, went behind the judge and gave him a vevere blow in the face, He thenraised his hand as if to strike on the back of the judge's head or to take a knife from his coat with which to stab the judge. At this moment Nagle called him tostop, He gave Nagle no heed, and there- upon Nagle put an end to his ability to do any further harm. In this Nagle was right, in- dependentiy of the California code.” see GOOD DEEDS IN A BAD WORLD. How the Carpenters and Brick Layers Helped Frank Seveck. From the Chicago Tribus The cynics and pessimists must pause in their There is one very obvious reason for thi It would take a week at least to make anything like a tour of the metropolitan dock system, covering as it does over 9 acres, extendipg from the tower of London to Galleons Reach, near Woolwich, every mile a range of ware | houses, wharves, railways, cranes and the other various belongings that make up dock property and waterside life. ‘There are St. Katharine’s docks, London docks, the West India docks, the East India docks, the Victoria and Albert docks, the Millwall docks and the Surrey Commercial docks. Six of these docks are on the north and two on the south side of the Thames. St. Katharine’s docks are the nearest to Loudon bridge. They were planned by Telford and opened in 1825, having been built at s cost of about £2.000,000. | ‘They are not very extensive as compared with the docks lower down the river, but cover at least 24 acrea. London docks, next below St. Katharine’s. are very old. They were opened in 1805 and contain 90 acres, about one-third being water. Their original cost was £4.000,- | 000. The great ware houses for tobacco rented | by the government ure located there, as are | also the immense wine vaults, and wool, spice, | tea, drug and sugar ware houses innumerable. | The Surrey docks and the Commercial docks are more ious. They are located on the south side im a bend of the river, and afford ample room for a vessel engaged in the grain-shipping trade. Just across the Thames are the West India and East India docks, the former, the oldest in London, were opened in 1802, and extend over 300 acres to Blackwall; the latter are adjoining, but contain only thirty-two acres, Millwall docks are in the Isle of Dogs, near the West India docks, They were opened in 1868 and cover 200 acres, Extending from Blackwall to a point opposite Woolwich are the Victoria and Albert joc! The Victoria docks were first used in 1556. The occupy 200 acres and contain grav- ing docks and dry docks capable of docking | the largest steamships afloat. One set of ware houses connected with these docks is used , chiefly for storing tea, silk, cochineal, carpets, piece goods and other products of India and China, The average stock stored here is esti- | mated at $25,000,000. and the value of the, property paseed through in ayear hus exceeded | $50,000.000. ‘The Royal Albert dock (connected with the Victoria by a passage 80 feet in width) has a water area of li5 acres. This is of most recent construction, its completion having been the occasion for a royal celebration in June, 1880. ‘This dock is a splendid stretch of waterway al- most three miles in extent, with a range of over s mile of iron ware houses and double lines of locomotive tracks and numerous tray- eling cranes. The dock walls throughout are constructed entirely of Portland cement con- crete, made and deposited in tu. The aggre- gate length of dock and Passage walls is 3 miles. The walls are 40 feet high, 5 feet thic! at the top and from 18 to 19 feet thick | at the base, and used up in their construction 600,000 cubie yards of con- crete, representing 80,000 tons of Port- land cement.

Railway trains from every company can unload straight into vessels, cattle are driven aboard, the railway platforms being level with the receiving decks, and the largest possible weights of merchan- dise are litted by hydraulic cranes that travel from shed to shed with singular facility. The dock is lighted with electric lamps. and the euormous sheds and ware houses are so con- —_ that they can be opened out from end to en Pp Sunday night the wife of William B. Hanna was separated from him in Kansas City, Mo., and it is believed was kidnaped through the operations of confidence men. Hanna knows very little about city ways and admits he is very green. On getting off a cable car a rather well-dressed man said to him: stepped on my toes, sir, and I intend to have you arrested.” Hanna started off to avoid ar- rest, and noticing that the stranger was follow- ing told his wife to meet him at a restaurant where they had eaten sapper, opposite the po- lice station, Before joining lis wife he was overtaken by the stranger, whom he gave a| dollar to avoid arrest. He has not seen his wife since, and Pinkerton men now at work on the case think that an accomplice of the man who followed Hanna has captured his wife and that the whole effair is a conspiracy for big game. A reward of $500 has been offered by friends of Hanna for information as to the whereabouts of his wife. * oe —_____ A Four-Chapter Story. From the Albany Express.

Prior to the hard storm of last month Mr. Seveck, a Bohemian laborer, was wholly unknown to fame. Few beyond his immediate neighbors had ever known or heard of him, and but for that storm he might have remained as be always had been, a mere unit in the vast population of Chicago, of no import- ance to any one save the little family dependent upon him. When the furious gale, however, blew down and demolished his home it became known from the newspaper reports that Seveck had been an industrious. economical and frugal unit; that the pile of ruins represented the sav- | ings of years of hard labor, and that he had nothing ieft with which to make a home. | It was at this juncture that generosity and | human kindness, the claims of human brother- hood, the prompt recognition of a fellow-being in distress, appeared to silence the complaints of the pessimists.

Correct Dress for Men in the Fall and Winter. ‘From the New York Mail and Express. Masculine circles of fashion are beginning to be agitated respecting the styles which are Prescribed as the correct thing to be donned by the gilded youth during the coming fall and winter season. Ere long autumn will temper the solar rays with s touch of increasing chilli- ness and those incarnations of elegance which are the happy result of a combined and har- monious effort on the part of nature and the tailor must perforce shed the breezy apparel of the sweltering dog days for the heavier gar- ments adapted to the season of fading flowers and the seer and yellow leaf. Nowis the time to prepare for the preface of winter. In the latest degrees of fashion les wi found to be varied and unusually artistic and for this reason must prors: wonderfully adaptive to those innumerable varieties of form and figure which the gulf between Hercules and Apollo. The inviting prospect renders the favorites of fortune who are blewsed with fleshy pocketbooks more than ever for an early interview with the tailor. A stroll among the artists of the avenue and a talk with the sar- torial “‘litterateur,” John J. Mitchell, enable the writer to present a summary of this most interesting theme, which may bear the stamp of accuracy and authority. FALL AND WINTER OVERCOATS. The most popular overcoat for fall or winter use will be a shapely fly-front sack of moderate length made of light material, with lapels one and three-fourths inches wide and roll five inches, The side seams of the back are but slightly curved, and for persons of average height the length varies from 36 to 873¢ inches. The sleeves are moderately large, though shapely on the inside, and finished with a vent and bottom stitching. For winter wear the length ranges for the average height from 38 to 40 inches, The lapels are about two and one-fourth inches wide and the seams of the velvet collar are lapped and stihed wide. The fronts to the end of collar are faced with plain OF quilted silk aud the edges pi with a single row of stitching inch back of it, The ample sleeves are finished with imitation cuffs closed with two buttons, In other re- spects there is no difference between the two overcoats, both being finished as soft as i ble and, when thrown open, the fronts roll free. ‘The indications are that the box overcoat will be worn more than usual. It would doubtless come int> more general use but for the cir- cumstance that it isa garment that few can be- comingly wear because it isa coat that looks well only on those who know how to wear it. To do so is aknack that only few possess, It may be added that the--‘box” is a garment that every tailor cannot make with pronounced suc- cess, If it is not evidently large and loose it 18, not what a box coat should be, but if it ap- ee buggy in the back it is a monstrosity. the cape ulster will continue to be a favorite and the style most in favor will be a moderately- loose single-breasted sack about 48 inches long for the average height, with a cape reach- ing nearly to the bottom of the sleeves, having but little drapery, extending in front to just buck of the crease of the coat and detachable. COLLARS AND POCKETS, The collar will be from three to four inches wide and the roll five inches deep, The side pockets will have wide in or out flaps, and two breast pocketa will be stitched in, The far- lined and trimmed overcoat will be more in vogue thanever, and will be an ample sack made of kersey or smooth-faced goods in blue or brown, double breasted, with wide sleeves, with raw edges double stitched, and with the lapped seams, ‘The collar will be of the shawl form, about seven inches wide at the back, and the cuffs will be as deep as the collar is wide. Sea otter and the mink will be the most popu- lar furs for this purpose. The “Inverness” will be chiefly used for wear over an evening dress, being especially adapted to this purpose on account of its amplitude and the ease with which it can be put on or taken off. Usually it will be made of roughish end of modest pattern, though dark cheviots will be preferred. It is to be noted as special features of all coats thatthe shoulders are cut moderately wide, while the sleeves average 16 inches at the elbow and 114 inches at the bottom. The fronts of all coats are made soft to roll free. FOR EVENING DRESS, Itmay be stated briefly that the materials used for the coat and trousers are softer and finer than heretofore: white and delicately tinted silks and black satins, richly and elabor- ately embroidered or embossed, will be in great favor for vests; the low-roll sik-faced sack, variously designated the “Cowes” and *Tux- edo,” and the dress sack will be very popular for certain occasions where the stereotyped evening suit was once indispensable. The peaked-lapel and the shawl-collar swal- low-tail are the only coats proper for evening dress, although the dress sack is correct for stage purties, with ladies in full dress, in the billiard rooms, and for informal evening visits. ‘The waist length for either style of swallow- tail should be 18:4 inches for the average height and the full length shoulder 35 inches. ‘The skirts are narrow at the bottom, with the corners very slightly rounded for the peaked- lapel and boldly rounded for the shawl-collar style. The peaked Japel is silk-faced to the lapel seam, and the collar of the other style is -covered to the edge. Whether the vest be of the same material as the cout, or of white silk or black satin, it closes with three or four buttons. opens to cor- respond with the coat, has a light collar, and has the crease curved smartly at the lower part of the opening. A pleasing effect is to have the crease of the vest to peep out beyond the crease of the coat, running parallel with it to within 3 inches of the end of the collar, where it curves suddenly to the front. ‘Trousers for evening dress are made more shapely than for any other style, und have a tritle more spring. The average size at the knee is 1834 inches, and from 17 to 1734 inches atthe bottom. The side seams are finished plain, though ‘a narrow welt or flat braiding of different width is correct. An affective novelty is a natural stripe woven in the goods, Broadcloths are less and iess used from sea- son to season. Softsickly finish of certain worsteds. their lightness, elasticity and their deep, rich, lusterless black, make them de- cidedly preferable for evening wear. In this connection it may be noted, as a suggestion of Mr. Mitchell's, that it would be an excellent idea to establish the custom of making the waiters’ uniform of broadcloth and doe skin and the gentlemen's evening dress suit of worsted, in order to avoid confusion and pre- vent cases of mistaken identity. STYLISH BUSINESS SUITS. The dress sack is variously made of worsteds, thibets and cheviota, and has neither buttons nor outside pockets, while the roll is long, ample and silk-faced to the edge.

D. ——— al ™ Bite ore THE EVENING STAR ts a PAPER OF TO-DAY, not of YESTERDAY nor of LAST WEEK. It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously-true of all classes of news, but expecially so In regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPHCIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washingtoo ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID As THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. itis | therefore able to print each day « full | report of every transaction of public tne | terest occurring in the District up to | the very hour of going to press. —:0:—_ Dy the free use of the OCEAN CABLES: for REGULAK AND SPECIAL Dis- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE RASTERKN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 v’clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news trom hurope, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. ——0:——_ Equally does THE STAR lead all its contempuraries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, towa and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of cousequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pa- cilic Oceans. —asbebaen @ NOTK THE RESULT: 9 ee ae THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIGERS and MORE THAN BIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR | READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY | PAPER IN WASHINGTON, It is de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it,in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothingelse. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. it is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST UN THE CITY. —o:_ — In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIG; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which tew papers invite, and which those that boast most are least wble to stand. —10-— 6@ The esteem in which THE STAB is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average daily eiz- culation of the paper was: Equally significant is the showing ta regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indication of Its acknowledged value as a medium of publicity.
