AS was stated in Te Sran of yesterday the first | *eries of the tournament, played on Wednes- day night, resulted in a lead of sixty points for the bieyele men, and this lead they not only held but increased by last night's play. By the system of duplicate play the hands used | by Columbia Wednesday were given to Cap- ital last night, and thus the test of skill was ap- pled directly. The result, therefore, indicates @ certam amount of superiority on the part of the Capital Club’s teams, ali element of luck being removed. ‘THE PLAY LAST NIGHT was conducted in the small parlor on the secoud floor of the handsome club hdase on G street, and a special series of rules was put in force to insure the regulation whist qhiet for the occasion. The piano was stilled, and the members went by the precincts sacred to the ame on tiptoe, and spoke in whispers. The same officials lent their aid to the success of the match, Messra. Safford and Wooten as referees, and Leaming and Decker as scorers. ‘The eystem of scoring is an elaborate one and requires a vast amount of book keeping, and the work was done throughout the tourna- ment in a careful, accurate manner that reflects great credit upon the scorers. There was nothing, indeed, to mar the success of the event, and the hope is expressed on all sides that this tonruament is but the first of a gen- eral series between the clubs of the city. A GOOD STARTE FOR THE COLUMPTAS. During the early part of last evening the Columbia men took hold of their hands as if they meant to wipe out the lead of their op- ats and come out of the match in the lead. he first round of six gumes gave them au ad- sntege of twenty-two points and the next round two more. he third round was a tie, fourth gave Capital sis- teen. ‘This was the beginning of the turn in the tide that curried the victors to their final score. At the beginning of the fifth round the Columbia teams had gained eight points on the jeac of the night betore, and there were still to be played tue Latuls ou whict the Capital pla ers made their strong rally of Wednesday night. As the hands were reversed it was but natural to suppose that the tables might be en- tirely turned aud for a time the air was full of excitement of that peculiar sort that lurks und the silence of a whist table. ‘The fitth nd was a complete surprise, for Capital ame out ahead 24 points, wiping out the gains of Columbia, while the sixth aud last round carried the pedal pushers of 15th street so far abead that all hope was lost. The same teams played as on Weduesday night, but the general Tesiults of the tournament were not those of ihe first evening's play as regards team work. In the tournament the teams made points or Jost them, over and under their losses or gains on all sides, as follows: Capital Bieyele Club— Falek and De won 18, Ulds and Low won 14, Wooten and Bingham won 12, Parsons and Rice Borden and Preutiss won 10 and is Athletic isborough and Mauro won 2, Lupton and Britton lost 30, Thompson and ‘Thompson lost 38, Wirt and Wirt lost zz and Safford and Eakins lost 12. Thus Cupital won 72 and Columbia won 30 and Jost 102, a total loss of 72. After the match had been concluded and the score made up both teams sut down to a colla- tion in the dining hall and talked over the games they had played.

Arthur U. Sayles, aclerk in the dead letter office, was arrested yesterday and sent to jail, charged with stealing letters containing money. He bad been living extravagantly of late, and this factaroused the suspicion of the superin- tendent of the office, Mr. Liebhardt. Post Oftice Inspectors Smith and Troy were detailed to work up the case. Sayles, it was found, was in the habit of appropriating the money found in the letters and then destroying the letters. He, however, took money from some decoy letteBs and when arrested confessed his guilt. He has been employed in the office about two years. and it is estimated that his stealings, which has been going on five or six months, amounted to about $200 per month. His salary was $960 per year, and was found to be insufficient to support a wife and one child and buy tickets on horse races. —_— THE NATIONAL RIFLES Enjoyable Excursion to Marshall Hall Notwithstanding the Showers. ‘The annual excursion of the National Rifles last night was pleasant affair, notwithstand- ing the wet weather. ‘There were 800 persons on the steamer Macalester when the boat left orchestra enlivened the trip down the river and also furnished music for the merry danc- ing party. Capt. Ross complimented the party by re- ‘ing that there were more pretty ladies on the boat than there had been on any previous excursion, including last year’s trips. The grounds at Marshall Hall were brightly illuminated and many who wero unable to en- joy the dances amused themselves at target shooting and bowling. ‘The excursionists arrived home before mid- night and the rain ceased falling just before the wharf was reached. Capt. Blake said that the new dancing pavilion would be finished in about two week, when ample duncing room would be had. Unavoidable delays have kept the work back far beyoud the time set for the pavilion’s completion. ‘The following persons were recognized among the many that en- Joyed the ‘nignt’s outing: Mr. and Mrs. Dallas sicker, Miss’ Margie Latimer, Sergeant and Mrs. W.

Recently the Commissioners received a letter from Lieut. F. 1. Averill, commanding engi- neering platoon C of the engineer corps, Dis- trict National Guard, requesting the loaning of any engineering and surveying instruments which the engiueer department of the District could spare. “The matter was referred to Capt. Rossell, who reports that the only old instru- ments on hand are an old leveling instrument and an old Wurdeman transit, both of which would be of little use in the hands of inex- perienced persons. He says, however, that there is no objections to loaning these instru- ments. Col. Robert thinks that the Commis- sioners have no right to loan the instruments. es ALEXANDRIA, PUBLIC SCHOOL MATTERS.

But every move we make our demo- cratic friends seém to think indicates poverty in the Treasury Department. Recently I thought it wise and prudent to proj an ex- tension of the 43¢ per cent bonds.

It Occurred to me also that if we extended these bonds at asutisfactory rate of interest, not more than 2 per cent, the bankers would buy the balance of these bonds and use it av a basis of additional curreney. My prediction today is that the bonds may be extended und at the rate of 2per cent interest they will bear a Premium, a condition of credit that exists no- where in the world besides.” —— Foreign Topics of Interest.
