The Bostoniang repeated their Monday's dose of whitewagh to the Senators yesterday, but doubled it, and the home team was humil- inted to the tune of 12 to 0. It was # most righteous defeat, for there could hardly be an exhibition of worse ball playing than that which the men who wore the white uniforms of the National club put up for the benefit of the 1,500 spectators. Haddock pitched again for the visitors, but it was hardly his work that caused the result, for the home team made error after error, and although they did not hit the ball safely they ran bases stupidly and threw runs away. The batteries were Miller, Bakely, McGuire and Hart for Washington and Haddock and Farrell for Boston. Miller pitched a splendid game, but be seemed to, be lisheartened by bis miserable support, and in the fifth inning he lost his control over the ball and bit two men and sent another to his on balls. Bakely was substituted in the sixth because Miller's arm was giving signs of weakening. Hart took McGui e in the seventh. HOW IT WAS DONE. Washington had plenty of chances to score, but the hits to bring in the men who wereon the bases were not to be produced. In the first inning Dunlap, having gone to firston balls d to second on» passed ball, was left when er struck out. For Boston, Richardson made a hit, stole second, went to third on Mc- Guire’s bad throw and cored when Brouthers, who went to tirst_on balis, stole down. In the second MeQuery was given a life on Radford’s error, but was forced by McGuire. Smalley's hit was thrown away. Boston did not score. Radford was given base on bails, but was caught napping off first. In the third bad base running took a run from the Statesmen. Hat- field hit for a base and Haddock made an error on Beecher’s ball. A passed ball put Hatfield on third, but he tried to score when Dunlap hit up a foul fly which Stricker, after runnin, away back of first, captured” brilliantly am threw home. Hatfield failed to slide and was touched out at the plate. ‘Two runs for Boston were the fruits of the inning. With two out MeQuery fumbled Joyce's ball and made a muff of the throw on Richardson's grounder. ‘These men stole and Brouthers hit to center, when Paul Hines, true to his old instinet, fumbled on the ground, giving Big Dan second, and the enemy two rune. IN THE FOURTH, with two men out, McGuire hit safely to center and went to second on a passed ball. Stricker fumbled Smalley‘s hit, but when that player tried to steal he died at second. No runs were ven to Boston this inning, though an error ¥ McGuire put a man on second. In the fifth, with Miller out, Hatfield hit to center for a base, but could not steal safely. Beecher hit to left for one base and went to second when jadford threw badly. Dunlap went out at first. ‘The Boston side did better because the Was) ington side did worse this inning. Five runs resulted from a lot of bad playing, every Bea cater batting. With one 0% hit and Brouthers lined out’ a ball to center, which Paul fumbled again. Hatfield first fum- bled Duily's ball and then threw it badly to first. Farrell was hit and Radford given his base on balis. Stricker sacrificed and Swalley threw Haddock’s,grounder badly. ‘AND SO OX. Washington went out in order in the sixth, two men striking out. Bakely went into the box and gave the first two men bases on balls and sacrifice by Brouthers put them each a base nearer home, but Bakely made up for his errors by striking out the next two men. One- two-three order sufficed for Washington in the seventh, but a base on balls, an error by Dun- lap, a sacritice by Haddock and three baggers by Brown and Joyce gave two runs. Brown's | hit was so close to beimg foul that no one yet believes that it wagnot. In the eighth inning Hattield went to first on balls, but the next three men flied out. Two more ruus were given to Boston. Brouthers was hit and after Duffy had flied to Visner Farrell went to first on balls. A wild pitch sent Brouthers home and Farrell to third. Radford’s sacrifice to Beecher sent Farrell in. It was dark by this time and Umpire Jones called the game. Washington made five hits and ten errors, and Boston six hits and four errors. OTHER Gaxrs.

Xe JUDGE KIMBALL’S COURT. Quite = Number of Prisoners Made Their Appearance Today. Isaac Bragg, an aged colored man, who is better known as General Bragg, was at the head of Judge Kimbali’s procession this morning and when arraigned he plead guilty. The old man has been arrested a number of times snd the police and workhouse cells have been honored with his presence on many occasions. This time the old man was arrested on a simple charge of disorderly conduct so that the penalty was only @5 or fifteen days on the farm. The next comer was Robert Gordon, s neatly dressed man, who was given to understand that he must respect religious worship. He was at the open-air meeting of the Salvation Army last night and Policeman Jamison arrested him for using profane language. The prisoner de- nied the charge, but the judge bolioved the po- eman. “Religious meetings are held for the pur- pose of doing good,” the judge told him, “and Ro matter where they aro held they must not be disturbed.” _ Atine of $10 or thirty days on the farm was imposed. HE WAs**’scUSSING” THE BIBLE. “Judge, I'm guilty,” was the response of a colored man named William Lewis, who was charged with profanity, “but judge,” be con- tinued, “will you hear me’ ‘What have you to sa; “I was 'scussing the Bible with a lady,” he , “and she was saying what the, Bib! about going to hel “Dut what did you say?” interrupted the cour! “i snid it,” he answered, “but I wasn’t angry, I was only talking about the Bible.” “Five dollars.” Albert Frederick is a colored man who lives in South Washington, but last night he failed to behave himself.

Judge thought he was snd sent him own. John Willis and Malinda Willis, his wife, plead guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct and were fined $5 or tifteen days each. THE GRIP WAS A GOOD EXCUBE. Dennis Lyles plead physical disability as an excuse for his offense, but the excuse was not ‘& good one, for he was fined $5. Solomon Clements knew that Policeman Smith’s testimony would convict him and to avoi giving the ‘officer a chance to make his speech he plead guilty. Five dollars or fifteen 3. Willie Donohue, a ten-year-old boy, who has been in charge of Agent Sweeney of the News- boys’ Home, was charged with being incorrigi- ble. The boy has no home and Mr. Sweeney secured him ‘several good places, but his con- duct was such that he could not’ be tolerated. ‘Mr. Sweeney said that he could care for him no longer and the judge sentenced him to the re- form school. “I've had the grip,” was Buddy Ridgeley’s excuse, and it was good oe, for the judge does not like to send sick people to the work house. The accused was charged with va- grancy. He has been before the court on many Occasions, but the judge accepted his person: bonds, telling him that he had better return to his work in the gus house when he gets well. Henry Simms said “guilty” to a charge of disturbing the citizens on Monroe street, Ana- costia, and stepped back because he did not have $5. William Young forfeited $5.

Secretary Tracy has promised to be present if possible, and bas expressed great interest in Mr. Peary's plan, which differs very materially from the great majority of arctic expeditions. An especially interesting feature of the meeting will be the presentation of a handsome silk United States lag to Mr. Peary by his fellow-members of the society to be carried by him to the “farthest north” and then returned to its keeping, a bright emblem of National Geographic Society achievement. This handsome flag is a gift to the society from ‘Miss Ulrica Dahigren, daughter of the eminent admiral, and itisher Lope that the old flag beneath which so many of her relatives have fought may thus gain new honors in the far north.
