Columbus Dosier was buried yesterday at the reform school burying grounds. It is the first funeral that has been held there in five years | and the fifth one since the school was organized | over twenty years ago. The remains were in- closed in a neat casket and placed in the chapel, where the funeral services were held, Dr. Par- | sors of Washington officisting.

The Poto- macs are a quiet club and are seldom heard meeting of the national association with a royal share of championship honors. Archery is one of the quietest of outdoor pastimes, and, aside from those who have chanced to sce the bow- men at practice on their range, few are aware that the local club is one of the strongest, both in skill and numbers, in the United States. It has made decided progress in these respects this season, and will send to the approaching national meeting a stronger delegation than has ever before gone from this vicinity. re- permits a fair estimate to be made as to the chances of our bowmen, as at this were present most of the best shots who will take part in the meeting at Fort Monroe, Va. The scores made were excellent for the little ractice had previous to the meeting. Mr. A. louston of Wyoming, Ohio, scored at the fork 90 hits, 356 score. This doubled would 180 hits, 712 score, a close approximation of the 163 hits, 719 score, by which ++ i of the Potomacs won the championship 4 Three other western archers pressed Mr. Hows ton closely for first place, and the indications are that better scores and a sharper contest will seen than for several ecasons. In the mid-range contest the chances are about the same as at the York round, in which Maxson will probably lead the eastern archers considerably and make a good contest to retain the championship. At the American round, which embraces the distances between sixty \d forty yards, the Potomacs will have three ‘ong contestants, Mesers. Maxson, Anderson and MeGowan. Recent practice scores indi- cate that very few will average as high as this trio, and one of the three will ly make the winning score. But one lady member of the club is certain to attend the meeting, but she will stand near the head of the scores in all the contests. In the team contest, which consists of ninety- six arrows at sixty yards, the local team bas a fair chance of success. Two of the strongest members of the club are unable to leave the else the Potomacs would be sure of a vie- As it is the chances are nearly even be- n the Potomacs and the Wyoming, Ohio, The meeting begins the coming Wednesday morning and will last three days. As about twenty-five archers will be present from the West, a successful meet is expected. See HELD FOR TH GRAND JURY.

Ma er ion’s handling of the Balti- mores is beginning to show in concerted team work. A feature of the playing of the clubs in the second season is the remarkable showing made by the new men. Patrick Donovan and Joe Kelly, the Pittsburg 10 best batting new men, are just now doing for the team. John M. Ward doesn’t like ensy losers, He wants fighters on his team who never know when they are beaten. he Brooklyns have taken a big drop in their batting and their fielding is not exactly up to the usual standard. Paul Radford makes “a great outfielder, but his ambition is to play in the infield, as he says he wants to be in the game. Players complain of the roughness of “the Washington ground and the way it is laid out. ‘The sun bothers the players a great deal. ‘The last few games pitched by Chamberlain seem to suggest that he is coming rround again into the fine form he showed in the early spring. Pithe chief defect of the St. Louis team is weak hitting, which affects the good work of the ex- cellent’ young pitchers Mr. Von der Ahe has managed to pick up. Boston won the first championship because her players went after runs and Cleveland is ont for the flag in the second half with the same general idea controlling the men. Washington has been vainly trying to secure second biseman Stearns of the Boston Athletic Association team. He was asked to name his own terms, but declined with thanks. All visiting pitchers complain of the Cleve- land's left field. It is dificult for fielders in that field to see the ball leave the pitcher's hand and so many flies are converted into sufe hita. The St. Louis team contains three of last year's New York team—Glasscock, Gore and ind the New York team has three of of the famous Marshall family of Virginia. Mrs. K. P. Krause and Miss Della Warren are the St. Louis 1891 rers in ite service—] Faller and Boyle. id a Capt. Comiskey hasn't given up the idea that he will bring the Reds around before the cold winds blow.

Tebeau says that the cat made in the{ salaries Cleveland to commence the: second seaton did not exceed $1,650, hardly more than | 100 per man, and they ail accepted it without a kick. The Chicagos are in hard luck. Close on Wil- mot's injury comes the announcement that Sam Dungan’s ball days are probably numbered. In June his right hand was badly burt and it improved slowly. As it healed the muscles of the forearm contracted, and, while the hand | is healed, the arm is so stiff that Dungan cannot throw twenty feet. Base ballin Germany! Think of Teutons really enjoying the Ame and, while not participating in it, ply of Americans with great interest. They be on the field themselves before long. Games are being played twice a week in Stutt- gart by Americans residing in that city. For a good, general all-round player and a heavy batter, Hallman, who covers second base for the Philadelphias, is a perfect jewel, says | the Sporting Life. He covers considerable ground, is quick in handling grounders, and his | work atthe bat keeps him well up among the | leaders, Since Paul Radford got up into. society on third ‘base he has been the star spread-eagle kicker for the Senators. His abilities in this line are unexcelled.—Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. A Cincinnati paper says: “It isn't often that Cincinnati releases player and he afterward Proves to be of any account. It looks now as though the Reds lost a star when Burke was tie jean game, riewit = the | allowed to pass to another club. He is doing finely for the Giants and his batting is way above par. Burke is a fast base runner, and Comiskey could use him to good advantage if he had him now. And, by the way, did you ever notice Mr. Haddock pitch on a ladies’ day? Did you ever notice the mixture of savoir faire and corned beef and cabbage in his air and attitude! Put wings on Haddock’s heels and he would be an angel. But how he can pitch! He has more hot and hard curves in his fingers than anybody in the business.—New York World. It has been remarked that the Phillies’ pitch- ers are more effective when Cross is catching than when Clements is back of the bat. The reason for this is that Cross allows the to do his own signaling. while Clements insists upon the pitcher putting the ball just where he wants it, AMATEUR BASE BALL. The Manhattan Giants of Richmond, Va., were defeated by the Eclipse Base Ball Club in a closely contested game at Nutional Park yes- terday afternoon by the score of 8t25. The final game will be played this afternoon, > A PRACTICAL JOKE. But It Was an Expensive Luxury—Larceny Cases. Alexander Carter, a colored man, was in the dock of the Police Court this morning because he played a practical joke on an old colored man, William H. Harper. The latter sells foot- stools an y when he stopped at a ea- loon on North Capitol street Carter took two of the stools and hid them. When Harper came out and missed his stools he went in search of | ing. Carter with a policeman and found him. He ad the #tools, but the fact that he had played a practical joke did not save him. To Judge Mills he stated that he had no occasion to steal stoois; that he had no children to use them, I ain't been arrested for five years,” he said, (“ma bard-working man and pay for wt et.” ‘artet was recalled, but he could say nothing uf of the prixoner. He could not un- € in bel derstand that the affuir was a joke. “This is another one of those practical jokes,” said the court, “which proved to be a stake. It hrs all the earmarks of larceny. It is one of those jokes that rebound and the perpe:rator has to stand the result of it. The other day there was a man before the court for erpetrating a joke of this sort and he had to go to juil. In the future I would advise that | these jokes be suspended unless tho perpetra- | tors of them want to go to jail.” The prisoner was fined $5 or thirty days. James Reagan, a young man, cl with the theft of a silver watch from Frederick Ken- nedy, admitted hie guilt and made a statement in his own behalf. Reagan was employed as engineer at the Concord Flats and Kennedy, who is a colored man,was fireman.

ALEXANDRIA. ‘TRE FATHERS OF COBBLE STONES, ‘The immense boulders which still make part of the carriageway on some of the oldest streets are gradually, when streets are repaired, taken up and broken, and the Inst of them, especially | those huge rounded rocks on Cameron street near the Mansion House, will, if the Cameron street paving plan carried out, soon be crushed and the town see the last of its boulder stones. In the last century big stones were considered the perfection of paving, and the street commission, id havo gotten | smaller stones from Oronoko creek and White | Oak run (now Tan House drain), within the | limits of the town, preferred big stone. | They advertised for it, and their advertise-| ment is still to be found in the Columbian Mirror, published by the grandfather of Audi- tor Price, some files of which are now in the | library of Congress, The street commission- | ers advertise in 1793 that “‘they will give bait | dollar for every ton of stone suitable for the pu delivered upon such wharf in the town | of Alexandria as shall be directed when brought | into port. The atone best calculated for pav- ing fe of an oval kind, weighing from fifteen Pounds to sixty or upwards |The money will id socn as landed. As they paid os Propose to begin the business as soon as tho season will admit, persons acquainted with Paving may find it'an object worthy of their attention and an early application for employ- ment.” The big stone in many cases weighed over 100 pounda. The money for the street ha@been | raised by lottery and the city council havin; appointed James Keith, Richard Conway and | ge Gilpin commissioners directed them in the spring of 1793, ninety-nine years ago, to have “King street from Fairfax to Pitt | streets Fairfax from King to Prince street | id Prince street from Fairfax to Water | street paved. and across each of eaid streets to | be leveled so as to carry off the water in tho| most convenient manner.” These commission- | ers supervised the putting down of the big | stones, which they thought would never come up| till the day ehould come when ail the rocks will | be moved. But year by year their work has been undone. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL PREPARATIONS. The public schoo!s will begin their session of 1892-98 on the first Monday of September and will continue fall ten months. The Washing- ton and other school buildings have been ex amined in vacation and have been put in com- plete repnir, the water which was settling un- ler Hallowell building, on Alfred street near | Oronoko. being drawn off into a new well.

Wrrtanp Hart.—There is a dearth in the tragic ficld iu this country. The great plays of Englich literature are as imuch loved en- Joyed as ever, but the actors who can present classic characters are few. Those who can as- sume the great roles of the Shakespearean | drama and even, those who are likely to become worthy exponetits of them can be told in aj breath. For this reason, if for no other, the talents of Mr. George Buckler and Miss Eliza Warren deserve attention and encouragement. Mr. Buckler is ambitious, energetic and psins- taking. All this was ehown by his presentation of “Hamlet” at Willard Hall last night. He steps fenrleealy into the portraral of a role that | has been regarded by veteran actors as a tre- mendous test of ability and carries his under- taking with a success that is surprising. Mise Eliza Warren appeared as Ophelia. She showed | every evidence of careful and conscientious study and gave to the character a grace of por- sonality that added much to ita enjoyabili The company includes D. W. Scesin, Angelo Velati, Leonard Greene, Franz Hillman, Miss These gentlemen and ladies constituted a very credit- able support. Mr. Buckler and Miss Warren | have set their ideals high and they enjoy one immense advantage over some of the older actors who essay tragic roles. Their careers are before, not behind them. Tonight Mr. | Backler will appear as Richelieu, a part’ which | won him much commendation at former pre- sentations here. Harris’ Buov Taraten.—Dazzling with in- candescent lights and looking like a new pin the doors of Harris’ cozy Bijou Theater were thrown open to the play-going public last night. It was the reopening of this well-known resort after several weeks, and the large audience ified to the popularity of the house. have made quite a change in the interior of the house during the summer. The | auditorium is lighted by electricity, the aisles | have been widened and everything has been | treated toa liberal coat of paint. The uphol- sterers have been busy and the seats have all been upholstered, as well as the private boxes. The | new manager. Mr. Gordon Don Harris, son of the late P. Harris, was on hand and promises | to become a favorite with the patrons. His mother, Mra. P. Harris, and Mr. RK. L. Britton | came over from Baltimore to witness the per formance and occupied a private box. The laughable musical comedy, ‘Grimes’ Cellar Door,” with the inimitable James B. Mackie in the role of Grimsey Me Boy, was the attraction and it received a cordial reception. The plot hangs upon the animation of a statue of Pan- dora, and there is any amount of fun all the time. The company is good and_ the perform- ance presents the exceptional and very praise- worthy feature of being right up to date with its music, both in point of selection and execu- tion. Miss Louise Sanford has a host of ad- mirers here, but she proved even a greater favorite than usual last night. Again tonight. Krawax’s Lyceca Turater.—The old adage of the early bird catching the worm should be changed to “Calder & Waldron Early Birds catches the crowd.” for the audience this ag- gregation drew to Kernan’s last night was more than éufficient to fill the house.
