Ite Twenty-fifth Anniversary Appropriately Celebrated Last Night. THE METROPOLITAN cI cRowDED WITH VETERANS, SONS OF VETERANS AND THE WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS—REMARES BY COMMAN- DER PIPES, GEN. BURDETT AND REV. DR. COREY. On the wall in the rear of the pulpit of the Metropolitan M. E. Church last evening hung a large badge of the Grand Army of the Kepub- lic. From the breasts of hundreds of old veter- ans who filled the pews in a body of the church gleamed the samo emblem. The occasion was the silver anniversary of the Grand Army and in accordance with the order of the commander- in-chief the fourteen posts in this city had met together in one grand post meeting to cel- ebrate the event ALL POSTS IN THE COUNTRY OBSERVED IT. Department Commander Pipes reminded the asscmbled veterans that a half million mem- bers of the order throughout the country were assembled together and when the hands of the clock pointed to 8.30 the order of Commander- in-cbief Veazey was read, which suggested that the anniversary be ated. At that hour in all the meetings held throughout the country this order was being read, and when Jobn P. Church, the assistant adjltant general, recited the eloquent terse announcement of Gen. Veazey the fact tuat all posts of the order were listening at that time to the same words gave additional interest to this part of the exercises. SONS OF VETERANS AND WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS. While the body of the church was occupied by the posts who merched to the place of meet- ing as organizations the Sons of Veterans and the members of the Woman's Relief Corps also wore out in force. The side seats and gulleries were crowded with the general public. The department officers were seated within the altar rail and on the platform were the speakers. Mra. Veazey, the wife of the commander-in- chief, sat with the department officers, her hus- band being away from the city attendiny reunion at Decatur, Ill. The church was hand- somely decorated ‘with the national color forming » fitting setting for the large audieace of patriotic citizens. PATRIOTIC SONGS SUNG. ‘The singing of patriotic songs was one of the features of the evening's exercises. In the in- terpretation of such stirring war songs as “Marching Through Georgia,” the “Battie Hymn of the Republic,” * the great audience was led by Lilli- bridge, while the skillfal fingers of Prof. James Caulteld broagbt out an accompaniment from the organ. DEPARTMENT COMMANDER PIPES’ REMARKS. Department Commander J. M. Pipes pre- sided and in some brief introductory remarks he spoke of the significance of the occasion and said that it was especially appropriate that the meeting should be held im the church where Grant and Gen. Logan had worshiped. chaplain, L. M. York, led the comrades in er, and then Gen. 8. 8. Burdett of this ¥, who was formerly commander-in-chief, was introduced to give a historical review of the Grand Army. When his familiar figure was seen the veterans broke out in a hearty demon- stration of welcome. GEN. BURDETT’S ORATION. Gen. Burdett, who is eloquent and bappy on all occasions, is especially so when he is called upon to talk to an andie ice of old soldiers. He bad the manuscript of his speech with him, but he did not confine himself to its pages. He said that after hearing the admirably condensed history of the Grand Army as presented in the order of the commander-in-chief which had been read, it did not seem necessary that be should go over the same ground. This duty had been assigned to him and he would perform it, and the comrades could judge how much better commander-in-chief could tell the story of the rise of their organization than one who was merely a back number. ‘THE OBJECTS OF THE ORDER. He spoke of the objects which the originators of the Grand Army had in view when they formed the organization, namely, to maintain the principles for which they fought, to relieve the widows and orphans and to urge those in authority to bestow upon needy comrades such itions as they are fitted to hold. These men ‘would be shocked to learn that one of the re- sults of this organization had been to fasten pon the national treasury comrades who are able to care for themecives. He referred to the incident when Stanton and the President were at odds and said that the Grand Army posts in this city were ready to protect Stanton if neces- sary by force of arms against any attempt todo him an injury. The falling off in the numbers connected with the organization about the year 1879 was attributed to politics coming into’ the order. While this might have been true, yet the speaker reminded his hearers that at that time the line dividing patriotism and politics was an exceedingly narrow one. THE GREAT INCREASE IN TWELVE TEARS. From 50,000 members in 1879 to a half a million at the present time the order had in- creased and prospered. They had stuck to the original idea of relief for orphans and widows, and in administering this relief during the it few years the comrades had contributed Eom their own resources over $2,000,000. This had been “bh? a=iount reported and it, was only & part of the st: ..r: of beneficence which had flown from this organization. The closing sentences were a poetical and beautiful tribute to the genius of the order and the virtues which it typified. REV. DR. CoREY's TRIBUTE. A stirring, patriotic oration was delivered by Rev. Dr. Corey, the pastor of the church, who reviewed the results of the war and paid a glow- ing tribute to democratic institutions as ex- emplified in this country. He thought that the example presented by this. repubiican govern- ment has changed the policy and renewed the hopes of Europe. After singing the doxology the exercises of the twentieth anniversary came to a close. A letter regretting her inability to be present was read from Mrs. Garfield, the widow of ex- President Gardeld. pon 5 Army Orders. First Lieut. Ernest A.

It Wins an Enthusiastic Success in Its Bos- ton Performances. The United States Marine Band appears to have captured by the first assault the musical heart of Boston. A special dispatch to THE Stan on Saturday announced the «uccess of Friday night's performance and the enthu- siosm of the audience. The Saturday evening Gazette says of the band: “It iss splendid organization that gave ample evidence of fine training under able di- rection. The body of tone is well balanced, rich and sonorous and it is handled with a skill that produces exquisitely delicate effects when occasion calls for them. On the whole, it is, perhaps. the best band of its kind in the country. The solo players are all brilliant per- formers, the clariuetists in particular being exceptionally fine. The first oboist bas a noble tone and a beautiful technique. The band numbers some sixty musicians and were very impressive in their handsome uniforms. Their performances were enthusiastically applauded, and encores were so frequent that the already long program was unduly extended.” ‘The Sanday Times devotes considerable space to its criticism of the perforntance, which, it declares, was an enthusiastic success. “Such music,” it goes on to say, ‘‘as theirs is most in- spiriting, to say nothing of its thorough musi- cianly excellence. From beginning to end the program was thoroughly enjoyed and encores were very generously granted. The band,which is so entirely and warmly admired and appre- ciated at the capital, if making its present tour | for the purpose of showing its real merit to other residents of the republic. And certainly it is an organization of which we have reason to be proud. Mr. John Philip Sousa, its con- ductor, fills the position in a manner to win from an audience the warmest admiration and sympathy, both as musician and man. His musicianly intelligence is unquestionable and his easy understanding and control of his forces is noteworthy. ‘The band is composed of musicians of specinliy well-harmonized excel- | lenee, a contingent more capable of giving | genuine and universal enjoyment it would be | hard to find. * * * * Everything was de- | lightfully rendered, with a” refinement and | vinity of expression that made its spirited | vitality the more enjoyable. It was no wonder enthusiasm greeted the superb effects accom- plished. The Globe said: “Conductor John Philip waving his baton over the gorgeously nied United States Marine Band, made an easy capture of the musical heart of Boston Hast Friday night. The President's famous orchestra will be heard again tonight, and Mr. ted transposition of ‘Nearer, My ‘0 Thee,” specially arranged for President Garfield's funeral, and played for the first time over his tomb at Cleveland, Ohio, is on the program.” ‘The Sunday morning Courier remarked: | “The tour of the United States Marine Band, now in progress, cannot fail to attract the at- tention of ail good citizens of this republic, who are interested in the institutions of their coun- try. ‘Phe band has been in existence for 100 | years, during which time its fortunes have va- Tied greatly. It was not officially recognized until 1856, and Gen. Grant was among the first of the Presidents who took sufficient interest in the organization to place it on its present foot- ing. It now consists of nearly fifty members, and a recent bill, favorably reported, will in- crease this number to seventy-two. ‘This is as it should be, for, as all other nations maintain similar bands, there is no reason why this coun- try should not dosoas well. * * * The first concert at Music Hall, Friday evening, was very suecessful in point of program, performance and audience. * * * In the playing of the band a fine quality of wood wind was shown, and the balance of the different instruments was found to be excelient. The one objection- able feature was the undue preponderance of the precussion and heavy brass instruments, which is a natural result of playing almost con~ stantly out of doors. Mr. Sousa proved to bea conductor of signal ability, and his own com- position demonstrated that he is a musician of Teal talent.” ———_es—____ ANACOSTIA, r ‘A SUNDAY SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT. The problem of reviewing the Sunday school Bible lessons was solved Sunday evening by the use of pictures illustrating each lesson studied during the preceding quarter. Twelve classes of the school took part. Recitations appropri- ate to the lessons were rendered by \ Ambrose Ruark, R.

The entertainment committee of the Women’s Christian Association has been highly favored during the past winter in the freely given services of some of the best local talent in order that they might provide an evening of recre- ation each month for those who are members of the family at the home, 1719 13th street northwest. __ ‘These efforts culminated last Saturday even- ing in a number of tableaux given by the Young People’s Society of the New York Ave- nue Church under the skillful direction of Miss Juniata Lusk and Miss Walker. In the fore- ground was arranged a group of classically draped statues, their positions and characters changing with each shifting scene. Behind them, inclosed in a suitable framing, appeared & succession of life pictures.

McGinnis is con- fined to Freedman's Hospital, suffering from an injury of the head alleged to have been in- flicted with a hatchet by Fitzgerald. The trouble occurred on the Connecticut avenue extension near the Rock Creek bridge, but the police were unable tolearn much of the particulars of the affair. The men were employed on the works near where the fight took place. The police did not learn of the af- fair until yesterday afternoon and soon after- ward Fitzgerald was arrested. * —__—»——__ A Special Officer and His Pistol. An interesting question was raised in the case of « colored special policeman named John Brown, who was tried before Judge Kimball yes- terday on a charge of carrying a pistol. There was an exciting time in Gate's saloon on the Navy Yard Saturday night and Brown, who is Paid fo watch private property, was in the crowd, which numbered fully forty persons. He claimed that the crowd was a disorderly oe and that he was assaulted. He discharged nis ‘weapon twice, one bullet entering the floor and the other going through the door. ‘The right of a special policeman to carry pistol was discussed, and the court doubted his authority to carry @ loaded pistol ail over the city with him and especially in saloons. “Even if a regular officer should gointo saloons to drink when off duty,” said the judge, “he robably would not be guiltless if he curried is pistol with him.” In consideration of his being a officer the court imposed a fine of only @20 in the pistol case and $5 for disorderly conduct. James Beacham was charged with being dis- orderly in the same saloon, but there was no rook st him, and, in discharging his, judge Kimball advised him to keep out of such places, remarking that nine-tenths of the crime in this city start in places where liquor is sold. patent For Assaulting Officers. Wesley Smith and Frank Whitney were be- fore Judge Miller yesterday for assaulting officers of the law. ‘The first-named assaulted Police- man O’Brien and the latter assaulted Officer Boyd. The first asswult was more aggra' than the second and Smith was fined $20 or sixty days. Whitney was fined half that amount. pee AS The Charleston's Movements.

It was a very cold day in Baltimore yester- day when thie two teams faced each other for an exhibition game, and the men could hardly keep warm beneath their two sets of uniforms and their sweaters besides. “It was, perhaps, a shade colder for the Washington side of the business, which had to take a large dose of bitter medicine, the score being 16 to 7 in favor of Baltimore. The weather was so cold that fine playing was almost an impossibility, and it may be that the Washingtonian errors, which were largely the cause of the defeat, can be attributed to the cold and damp. The Orioles outbatted and outfielded the visitors, making 14 hits and 5 errors,while the Nationals made 11 hits and 7 errors. At the start the batteries were Bakely and McGuire and Mo- Mahon and Robinson. ‘These officiated for five innings, when they were succeeded by Keefe and Hart and Cunningham and Town- send. Baltimore made all of its runs and ten of its hits off Bakely and four hits and no runs off Keefe. Washington made three runs and five hits off McMahon and four runs and six hits off Cunningham. The Nationals batted ta foliows: Hines, two singles; Beecher, one tw er; Dunlap, a single and & doubl Visner, three singles; MeQuer , one single; McGuire, one two-bagger; Smalley, one single. Beecher made an error and Smalley, Hatfield and Bakely two errors apiece. Dunlap did the Prettiest work for Washington, with two put- outs and seven assists. Baltimore made six runs in the second inning, one in the third, seven in the fourth and two in the fifth. Wash: ington scored three in the third, two in the sixth and one each in the seventh and eighth. Other games yesterday resulted as follo At Baltimore—Johns Hopkins, 7; Dartmouth, 6.

The members of the Amateur Base Ball League of the District will meet tomorrow evening at 7:90 o'clock in the Washington Light Infantry Armory to perfect its organization, receive a report from the commitjee on the constitntion and arrange the playing, schedule for the championship season. The league is composed of six clubs, including the Potomac Athletic Club, Y. M. G. A. Athletic Club, W. 1. L Athletic Club, Columbia Athletic Club, Du- ont Base Ball Club and the Columbian College ase Ball Club. In limiting the number to six clubs there is no intention to slight any of the other local amateur clubs, but it is deemed ad- visable to form a small league, with a compact schedule, in order that the local representatives in the A. A. U. will have an opportunity to compete for the national amateur champion- ship. Those local clubs not members of the league may arrange exhibition games with the teams above named. The same delegates who attended the first meeting of the local league, held last Friday at the Columbia Athletic Club house, are expected to attend the meeting at the Washington Light Infantry Armory to- morrow (Wednesday) night.
