Men of muscle had an interesting time yoe- terday afternoon in the grounds of the Rock- ville Fair Association. Columbia Athletic Club of this city sent out a large and brawny dele- gation, cared for by the ever. active ‘‘Sam” Stinemetz, director of athletica. J. T.Crossley, the club trainer. was there too, accompanied by his lungs, a distinct enunciation and a pistol; be was the starter. The weather was all that could have been desired. City girls aided in adorning the grand staad; bucolic belics made the hillside above the track a thing of preter- natural beauty and a temporary Joy. VICTORIES FOR ROCKVIELE MEX, The program commenced with a 100-yard dash, Half a dozen airily clad sprinters walked leisurely up to the starting point and returned to the grand stand in such a hurry that the race was over before many of the spectators Were aware of the fact that it had been begun. W. B. Chichester of Rockville was first man in, running in splendid style and finishing in what some ofthe judges thought was 11 seconds, while others were of opinion that 10% was more nearly correct. The people of Rockville were not concerned as to seconds or fractions thereof; they just yelled themselves hoarse and kept it up, and when they got tired a band in the grand stand took up the noise just where the crowd left off. H. M..Dickimson of the Columbias was a very close sécond, with S. J. King, another C.A.C, man, on his heels, The others who ran were H. T. Harding, Y.M.C.A.; Bowie Clark and Georgt lor. There were three entries for the pole vault— George H. Brooke of Rockville and H. M. Wil- son and L. Buckenstine of the Columbias, The latter was abseng and Wilson had a dislocated finger, but to make the thing interesting Wil- son went in. He retired after clearing the bar at 7 feet 9 inches, his retirement being grace- fully announced from the judges’ stand: “Wil- son's backed out.” Brooke, who is an expert, and a clever one at that, took fitst with a vault of 8 feet, TOSSING THY MWAMMER NINETY-EIGHT FEET. Six men wrestled with the 1¢-pound hammer, some of them intent on winning the prize, others satisfied to scare and scatter the crowd by letting the missle fly in some unexpected direction. In the primary contest J. T. Ranier of the Columbias made it dent the sod 96 feet Sinches away from the mark, and he smiled inwardly ashe watched the other competitors perspire. He transferred the smilo and the prize to H. M. Dickinson, a brother Columbia, when that gentleman tossad it 98 fect. J. C. Irwin, C.A.C., was third, with 95 feet 8 inches, ‘Tho other competitors wore: F. M. Hallowell, 67 feet; Bowie Clark, 69.7; Guion Miller, 76.9, A LIVELY BICYCLE RACE, Public interest was more or l¢ss intense on the one-mile race for safety bicycles, run in two heats. The contestants and their wheels were: John Mount, Vulcan; Fred. Staylor, C. A.C., Psycho; J. N. Oliver, Warwick; G. F. Brackett, C.A.C., Swift; W. T. Robertson, Pre- mier. In the first heat one of Brackett’s pedals slipped just when he needed both of thom most, and in spite of this disadvantage he was a good second to Robertson, who won in 3 min- utes 4254 seconds. The track was a poor one for bicycles. In the second heat the fun commenced early, Oliver tumbled just a few yardafrom the start, and if he had not thus been delayed would probably have participated in the collision near the grand stand. Mount bad had enough in that huadred or so of yards, so he decided to drop out. Instead, however, of slacking up and allowing the others to pass him he turned off, sharply, and made a hurdle himself and machine which Staylor failed to clear. When the wreck was cleared away and the injuries had been figured up Robinsen was moving around busily engaged in trying to keep ahead of Oliver, who had remounted after Lis fall, uninjured. Brackett was out of the race almost as soon as Oliver feil for one of his handle-bars gave way. Robinson won again in 3.52, with Oliver a somewhat distant but very plucky second in 3.58, “WE HAYSEED BOYS EIN Do IT.” Astorm of cheers surrounded and covered up the 220 yards race. They were Rockville cheers, for once more did Chichester's rapidly- moving legs give him a victory. “We hayseed boys kin do it,” yelled one and then the crowd whooped again’ and again. Chichester’s time was 223, seconds. 8. J. King. C. A. C., was a remarkably close second, with his omnipresent and courageous fellow club man, H. M. Dick- inson, almost even, THE RUNNING HIGH JUMP. Rockville had itseye on Chichester once more when the rupning high jump was an- nounced. This event was believed to be his beyond questior. The crowd had no knowledge of the prowess of the Columbia's crack—S. E. Lewis—when the jumping started, Lewis won with 5 feet 1 inch. W. B, Chichester and Royce Hough. Y.M.C.A., both failed at 5 feet 1 inch, and as Chichester would not jump again Hough was given second pase W. B. Hoggart, C.A.C., tried the high jump for the first in his cx- perience as an athlete and came outa good third atSfect, F.R. Keys saceumbed at 4 fect 6 inches. A ONE-MAN RACE. But three men started in the 880 yards’ run and only one of thom was really “in it” at any time. Those who moved ff when the pistol was fired were W. B. Chichester, C. D. Webb and J. M. Kenyon, the latter being the Co- lumbia’s hope. He was a success. Chichester led for about 300 yards and then Kenyon went forward without trouble. Webb dropped out for a quarter of a mile and Chichester almost followed his example when about hundred yards from the finish, As mrace it was no- where, Kenyon controlling it from tie first and finishing as he pleased. Time, 2.16; Ken- i received the oniy lanse given by the ies during the day. ‘they thought he was “just too sweet and too pretty and too swiftfor anything.” That's what they said, SAID HE WOULD AND HE DID. “Hold my cap while I win this prize,” was the remark made by J. C. Irwin of the Colum- bias to a Sran reporter, when the former's name was called to do his share of ‘putting’ the 19-pound shot. The ball dropped 34 feet 7 inches away; just 7 inches further than Guion Miller could’ put it, and wining first. Others who tried were F. M. Hallowell, 30.7; J. V. Ranier, C.A.C,, 33.5; H. M. Dickinson, C.A.C., 31.5; S. J. King, 28.7, TROUSLE AMONG THE JUMPERS. There was a little trouble over the next event, and there be those living who believe that there should have been more’ trouble in- stead of less. On the second round H. T. Harding of the Y.M.C.A. jumped 21 feet 5 inches. Then W. B. Hoggart, C.A.C. 20 feet 10'¢ imches, and 8. E. Lewis, C.A.C., made another of 20 feet 10 inches, Fouls were then called on Lewis and Hoggart and out of the confusion another ery of “foul” was raised against Harding. Everybody in the crowd tried to be either a judge, a refereo or a meas- urer, an was @ good deal of cnergetic chaos. it was decided to begin all over again, and yet Hogyart took the prize with his ic of 20 feet 103g inches, which had once en deciared a foul. Mr. Sima, physical di- rector of the Y. M. C. A. of this city, protested with considerable firmness on bebaif of Hard- ing and declared that with bis consent no more ¥. M. C. A. athletes would ever again visi Rockville im pursuit of prizes. 8. E, Le captured second place with 20 feet 10 inch, while the redoubtable H. M. Dickinson covered 20 feet. The occupants of the grand stand were not much interested in the jumping because a crowd of twenty or thirty men and boys in- sisted on standing between the jumpers and the bigger audience. Marshals, on foot and on horseback, went around imploring every one to sit down. and smiling becaus> their Leese were good-naturedly ignored. The marshals obscured more view than the rest of the interceptors could have done had they tried till the cows came M cree py home. In throwing the base ball H. C. A. C., won with @ record of 116 yards and inches, Others who tried were 107 yards and 9 inches; Guion Miller, 1 ana’ inchos, and F. M. Hallowell. saagertrs THE HURDLE RACE. * The concluding number on the program was the 120-yards hurdle race, preparatory to which Mr. Chicnester’s attendants gavo the occupants of the grand stand a practical illustration of how a runner prepares for a race by stre Mr. Chichester ou aa 911; 6—.

The neighborhood of Massachusetts avenue and 3d street was a scone of excitement about 9:30 o'clock last night in consequence of the appearance of a wild bull on the strect. It was not known where the animal came from, but it came with a rush, and persons in its way were tossed into the air like shects of pa- per ina whirlwind. Washington street seems to have been first visited by the bull anda small colored boy was sent flying skyward. When 3d street was reached a colored woman was the animal’s first victim. A WATCHMAN TOSSED INTO A TREE, Everybody attributed her fate toa piece of red trimming on hor dress, but that idea was dispelled when Mr. O'Neill, a watchman in the eS office, paid a sudden visit to tho ranches of the shado trees and soon after- wards had his arminasling. He cripple and was consequently unable to make a good run like his neighbors. Another boy was used missile and the in- furiated animal made several attempts to enter dwellings, but without success, After doing what damage it could on that square the bull made its way toward Jackson alley, knocking down everything in its path. SMASHING FURNITURE. Finally the alley was reached and without waiting for an invitation the bull broke into a front door and played havoc with the furni- ture. Before reaching Jackson alley, however, a Mr. Mack was knocked down on G street and seriously injured. Another man, whoso name could not be ascertained, shared the same fate, When crossing the railroad track the animal came near being run over, and when last scen it was going through East Washington toward the Eastern Bri ———~»—____ PROTECTING THE MONUMENT. Mr. Gibson of Alabama Acquitted of a Charge of Mutilating the Shaft. “United States watchman,” was the answer given by W.S. Jones when asked in the Polico Court this morning what his position was at the Washington monument, Ie was the pros- ecuting witness in the case of Willam B, Gib- son, whom he charged with mutilating the mon- ument. Mr. Gibson is a resident of Alabama and he was defended by Congressman Herbert of that state, Watchman Jones accused Mr. Gibson of having chipped pieces of the monu- ment off with his penknife. The officer pro- duced a number of small pieces of the stone as evidence, and told of Mr.Gibson’s conversation about the arrest, THE DEFENDANT DENIED THE CHARGE and contradicted Watchman Jones in every essential part of his testimony. The alleged offense happened abont 8 o'clock this morning. Mr. A. D. Dickson of Greenville, 8.C., who was with Mr. Gibson, also gave evidence, When Jones mentioned the knife witness says he asked Jones if he saw a knife and the latter re- plied: ‘It might have been a lead pencil.” THE JUDGE'S DECISION. Judge Mills said he had examined the knife blade and there was nothing to show that it had been used for any such purpose, but, on the con- trary, the blade appeared to have been stained by fruit. ‘The judge added that 1t was unneces- sary to state that the law should be stringently enforced, as constant chipping would not only deface the shaft, but would result in its de- struction. The court thought the officer should be commended for his zeal in seeing to the enforcement of the law. After speaking of the inconvenience to which Mr. Gibson had been put the court dismissed the charge. ROCKVILLE FAIR PREMIUMS. Awards Yesterday for Sheep, Hogs, Cattle, Fruit and Vegetables.
