AN IMPOSING NIGHT SCENE. ‘The Streets Thronged With Spectators—Some of the Floats and Transparencies—The Cel- ebration In Gonzaga College Grounds—Ad- @ressea by Commissioner Rose and Others. Columbus was remembered last night by fully 10,000 persons who participated in the torcblight procession given under the auspices of the Catholic churches and many thousands more, who lined the ronte of the parade from the sidewalk and houses. Soon after sundown | persons from all sections of the city were mak- ing *beir way to Pennsylvania avenue and by 7 o'clock the crowd was so large that it was with difficulty that the gripmen succeeded in getting the cable cars along. One by one the five divisions of the celebrants arrived, most of them beaded with bands of music playing some national air. In every division the paraders carried transparencies and several of them had large floats, on which were scenes from Columbas’ life. Al the dieplay wae most interesting and im it was nearly § o'clock when the parade started from the Peace monument. ‘The large 2.000-poand bell of the McShane Manu- facturing Company, drawn by four fine biack horses, wes in the |, and the ringing of the bell cleared the way for the bearers of the torches. Next came a detachment of mounted police, Sergt. Hess of Georgetown in com- mand Chief Marshal Ed J. Hannan and aids came next. The side were: Chief aid, Major R.

Could Columbus have looked upon the scene enacted in the grounds he would have been filled with wonder and surprise. ‘The exercises commenced shortly after 9 o'clock and consisted of speech making, vocal selections and popular instrumental music by the Columbian Musical Club. | A large platform, handsomely bedecked with flags an Laine, entern occupied & conspicuous position, rom this the speak- ers addressed the audience, which was fully 8,000 ae On the platform were seated Gen. Bradley T. Johuson of Baltimore, Commissioner Jno. W. Ross, Maj. Chas. MoCann, P. J. Walsh, Thos. A. Rover, Grand Marshal Hannan, M. M. Sneli and Fathers Gillespie, Quill, Jas. Conway, Du- four, Scanian, O'Connor, Gloyd, Roccofort and Dolan. The procession the nds about 9 o'clock and was greeted with the ring- ing of church bells, an artillery salute and a handsome pyrotechnic display. COMMISSIONER ROSS’ ADDRESS. Father Gillespie was the master of ceremonies and introduced the first speaker, Commissioner Ross, who said: “On September 9, 1791, the political jurisdic- tion set apart to be the seat of government of the United States was designated by the com- missioners appointed to lay off the city and dis- trict the territory o§ Columbia. In the titles to subsequent acts of Congress the name was stated as the District of Columbia. That was the first national recognition of the name of the it discoverer who landed in the new world | years ago today. It is therefore fitting and | 8p] ite that we who are residents of the | capital city of that republic whose free institu- | tions are of the far-reaching results of the voy- | age of Columbus should assemble to do honor | to his memory. | “I know of no secular event of equal moment and importance to that which we now cele-| brate. With all of his enthusiasm, with all of bis genius, Columbus could not have compre- | hended the vast significance of his discovery. “We who live almost within the dawn of the twentieth century can hardly begin to estimate the momentous results of that achievement. It isa theme as to which words seem vain and inadequate. Human language is powerless to express the gratitude to the great Author of the Universe or the respect for the memory of Columbus which fill the heart of every Ameri- can in this four hundredth year since the prow 0 the Santa Maria touched an unknown land- ing on an unfrequented sea, and gave a new continent to geography, to history and to an | old world needing a wider field for the growth, the development and the uplifting of the human race. a THE BOYS CARAVEL. “And since mere words are powerless to ex- of the Catholic University. He epoke of, Cg- lumbus, his life, his discovery and best of ail, the marvelous results of his tion. The Columbian Musical Club played several selec- tions and Judge E. F. Dunn of Florida closed the exercises. He took for his theme the story of Columbus and traced his history.giving many new details, Deviating somewhat he called attention to the fact that Columbus was a Catholic and the money advanced to further his grand plans came from the Catholic Church. So that the | people of this continent had the Catholic | Church to thank for this world. Again when in later years the country advanced and deter- | mined to stamp out mor hy it was the Catholics who made victory Posse. This was on record in England in the house of parlia- ment. Upon one occasion the house of com- tone desired to know wherein lay the strength of the Americans and it was told that more than one-half of the entire army were Catholics. It was to the Catholics that the negro owed his freedom and the red man was indebted to Catholicity for whatever happiness he enjoyed. Yet notwithstanding all these things the Catholics were denied their righte— the right to educate their children as they pleased. It would not always be so. The ple were beginning to. see the injustice dor and realize the strength of the Catholic Church. The committee having charge of the celebra- tion was composed of Messrs. J. F. Brennan, W. H. McGran, D. J. Foley, T. J. Keady and D. Downey. a THE CHESS WORLD. Problems, Games, Chess News. Chess Directory —Washington Chese, Obeckers and Whist Club, 910 F street northwest.

He aroused the intellectual | activity of the civilized world. But we recog- nize some results peculiar to us who love the Union of the States. “There were many thoughtful men who lived | in the fifteenth century and in the preceding | centuries who did not believe that men were born to rule their fellow men. But consider how slightly free government had obtained. In Asia and in Africa, with more than one-half of the population of the globe, there was never & free nation. “There were men who worshiped at the shrine of democracy in Greece and in ome. But how little of « permanent character did they accom- phish: the old world men were hedged about by despotic conditions.

HEELING THROUGH the country on bicy- cles at this season of the year is consid- ered good sport by wheelmen, and for that reason every advantage is taken of the good condition of the roads and the weather. bun- day is the principal day for country tours be- cause it is the only day that the majority of wheelmen have an entire day to spend on arun. Century riders are continuing to increase the number of hundred-mile tours within sixteen hours. Yesterday being a holiday many of the silent steed riders spent the day on the road, and numerous century runs were made, To- morrow the usual club runs will be made. The season for watermelon runs has ended and chestnut parties have taken their place during the past three wecks. Tomorrow will about end the chestnuting parties and the | wheelmen will then begin their oyster roasts for the fall and winter seasons, The season will | be opened by the Georgetown club, and many other wheel clubs will follow later in the season. About the country along the line of good roads there are numerous spots where nature has prepared suitable places for such gath ings, and all that is necessary to make the affair success is to provide the necessary roastin irons, some luscious bivalves, pickles an crackers. Oyster knives are always in demand at a roast and it is necessary for those in at- tgndance to provide the kuives in advance. ‘Yo complete the affair a bonfire is necessary and should the weather prove cold enough to make the fire necessary logs placed about the flames forming a circle of seats gives the scene & picturesque appearance, he principal places for roasts are along the banks of the river above Georgetown, along the shores of the Eastern branch, and also across the river at Four-mile run and other points, NOMAD CYCLE CLUB. Capt. Thayer provided an extra run for the club this week, which proved the most enjoy ble pilgrimage of the senson. it was in the nature of a trip to Dickey's, provided espe- cially for yesterday because the day wa tional holiday. Di as all wheelmen wel kno rie place on the V the river at the Great Falls, and it is one of the | loveliest places in this Vicinity to spend | a day's outing. There were two par- ties, made up of the club members. The first party started Thursday afternoon, leaving | the residence of Mr. Robertson on M street at 3o'clock. At Dickey’s hot supper was pro- vided, and yesterday was spent about the rocky | cliffs overlooking the falls. ‘The second party, composed of those who could not leave Thurs- day, arranged to start from the residence of Misses At Lee, No. 109 F street northeast. The party was chaperoned by Mrs. Robertson. The regular Wednesday evening run was made to the Chain bridge, the club starting from the residence of Misses At Lee at 7 p.m. At the Chain bridge luncheon was provided by the ladi. GEORGETOWN CYCLE CLUB. The principal event in wheel circles during the coming week will be the oyster roast of the Georgetown Cycle Club. ‘The affair will take place Wednesday evening at the Chain bridge. AN arrangements for the roast have been made anda big time is ex- pected by those who are to participate in the feast. The ground selected is near the spring | just across the bridge, which has been the scene of many a smull idyele gathering. Last Sunday the club went to Dickey’s, and Wednes- day the ride was over the Conduit road as far as Cabin John bridge. Next Sunday the club will attempt their first . The route selected is between here and Frederick, a distance of about fifty- one miles each way. CAPITAL BICYCLE CLUB. Last Sunday's trip of the Capital Bicycle Club was a pleasant one, made so by the route selected by Cupt. Macdanicl. The ran was an- nounced to take place over the railroad Quantico, but owing to a del destination was changed to Rockville. The out- ward trip was made over the Conduit road to the Great Falls and from there the wheelmen | rode to Rockville. After dinner they returned home via Bethe-da Park. ‘The wheelmen found the Conduit road rough and dusty, owing to the absence of rain for some time. d in many | places where new metal had been put on the | road the riding was a little rough. ‘There was no club run yesterday, but tomor- row there will be an interesting trip to some place in the county, to be selected by those who attend, and Capt. Macdanicl hopes to have a large attendance. Weduesday evening there was a whist tourna, ment at the club house, in which none but club members participated. ARLINGTON WHEELMEN, The Arlington Wheelmen «pent last Sunday in Prince George’s county, going to Bran Wine Saturday evening. They spent the night at Brandywine and left there Sunday morning onatour through the county, reaching home in the evening. Yesterday the club had # cen- tury run between here aud Baltimore and to- morrow the big century run will be made on the Frederick pike. A large attendance 1s ex- pected, as members of the Crescent Century Club will join the party. The start will be made from 14th street and Florida avenue promptly at6 o'clock in the morning. The Schedule adopted some weeks ago will be used, and there will also be pacemakers. No delay will be made on account off the tardiness of members, : CRESCENT CENTURY CLUB. Crescent century riders are still holding the records for centuries, Messrs. Clarence Palmer and Ed. B. Terry having another 100-mile run last Sunday. This keeps Terry ahead of all other century riders. The club made another century trip yesterday, going to Baltimore and return. ‘they rode a few miles over the Fred- erick pike. Tomorrow's club run has been ealled for Frederick, as the club has accepted an invita tion to accompany the Arlington Wheelmen on their century ride. COLUMBIA CYCLE CLUB. Capt. Southwick of the Columbia Cycle Club intends to give the members an interesting trip for tomorrow, They are to start from here at 11:30 o'clock tonight and ride to Frederick so to be there tomorrow to greet the Crescent Century and Arlington Wheelmen. Some of theColumbias will ride across the country to Hagerstown and return home on the cars, while others will ride home over the roads. ATTEMPTED CENTURY RUN BY LADIES. A letter recsived by a lady cyclist a few days ago told of an attempted century run by three ladies of the Four Leaf Clover Club of Colum- bus, who were here during the L. A. W. meet. ‘They started off early in the morning and be- fore they reached the other end of their jour- ney, fifty miles distant, a wind storm retarded their progrese, but reached the point, had dinner, were photogral an Started for home. When but a few miles had been ridden one of the ladies and her escort made for the nearest railroad station, but the other members of the party continued ort distance further, when another one of the wheelwomen dropped out to return by rail. i to a, e 4 va so busy running that he cannot get the chance to bite. It isa idea to run away from rather than shoot a dog, as in many cases the killing of the dog makes unpleasant times for cyclists in the fu the hands of the de- ‘ceased canine’s master. Personal Appearance of the Wheelmen. Some days since the personal appearance of wheelmen in Central Park, New York, was com- mented upon and the question was asked why they rode in so many nondescript costumes and in "heir shirt sleeves,and in sweaters not ‘tucked in. Concerning’ this the League Bul- letin in its last issue printed the following: « If there is one point more than another that brings contempt upon the cyclist, it is the neglect of costume, which we are bound to ad- ‘mit is altogether too common. The above let- ter quotes but one of many places in which the same fault is found. There is absolutely no reason for this careless and shabby method of dress. Almost any of the large outfitters will furnish suite at very reasonable prices. A regu- lation suit is not — ity, but adds to the appearance of the rider. The shabby a Pesrance of many cyclists is not duo s0 much to the lack of clot as to the negiect of takit care of those they wear. Cleanliness is phos | a necessity in our sport than in any other we can nam We ride in the dust, being low down, we get warm and perspire, and when it is wet we get yery much bespatiered. But « ood bath for the rider and plenty of brushing and sponging for his ‘clothes will keep him free from comment as to his personal appearance. ——_+e-+__—= THE BIGGEST YET.

One of the most embarrassing positions in which a woman can be placed at the table is when she is pouring the tea and coffee. These adjuncts to the meal are usually given to the guests at atime when the eating or conversation, and naturally the attention of the company is attracted to the hostess, more especially so if she be « pretty and graceful woman. ‘The English long ago recognized this fact and made a very pretty provision for it. It consists of a neat woven wire or metal framework about eighteen or twenty inches high, which is placed on the out- side of the tea tray, inclosing it on either side, thus partially hiding from view the fair one who is doing the honors. Generally speaking, the frame is ornamented with pretty littls draperies of light, flowered silk or some other flimsy material, and thus she is shut off from the curious gaze of the guests and can pursue the even tenor of her pouring without ex- periencing the slightest degree of nervousness. hese screens are not, to our knowledge, very Well known in this country, but once’ their utility was recognized would doubtless become very popular. They could be trimmed with bows of ribbon or draped with lace or delicately painted desigus on silk or satin. Suggestive and appropriate mottoes could aio be woven in the center or in any other manner that might suggest iteolf to the maker. This would greatly enhance their beauty and make a very ornamental addition to the furnishings of the table. weet: Repentant.

OUTLOOK FOR ATHLETICS. —_.__ A= THE COMING election the various clubs and social organ- izations will begin in earnest to settle down to the winter's cam- paign and execute the work mapped ont, each in its own way. Not- withstanding the seem- ing apathy in political affairs, it is surprising how large a number of men are away from town taking their vacation now, to run up and in- clude the day of election; and this is the more noticeable because of the comparatively few regulars who come to their old haunts at the clabs, That the coming season promises to be a good one is foretold in the large number of new members enrolled in the several clubs and | similar organizations, each with its own pecu- liar attractions and all tending to the better- ment of the members’ social and physical | status. THE COLUMBIA ATHLETIC cLUR. The bowling season is at hand, and if any one doubts it let him pass along in front of the | big club house of the C.A.C.,and if, after hearing the thunder roll down the alley. he does not “hear a pin drop,” he is ina bad way and he ought to go and see some specialist on the ear. Dr. W. R. King is a frequent visitor and fond of the exercise. J.8. Jones and Steve Jannus, the bowling committee of the club, are busy arranging the schedule of games to be played during the winter. In the early part of December the first of a series of bowling tournaments will be held, and at present the members who will enter are practicing hard and Thursday evening of each week always finds a good number hard at work, and this week found some of the best talent of the club piling up good scores. Among them were J. C. Heald, Fred Thomp- son, R. Crows, J. 0. Pedrick, J. 8, Jones, John Walker, Will Dove, Howard Perry and others. The alleys have been lengthened and widened | and are now full regulation size, and in keep- ing with the regulations the pins are smaller. | It is by long odds the brightest and most cheer. ful corner in the house. ‘The new shades over and in front of, the lights spread the light just where it is needed, and mt the same time pre- | vents the glare from striking the players’ eves. | Altogetheri t is one of the most perfect set of alleys south of New York. During this mouth a record was made here and Mr. John Walker holds the record of the alley with a score of 223, the best score made j since the adoption of the regulation alle: | His score of 223, and six strikes, five spares | and no breaks is very hard to overcome. It is possible ghat Howard Perry's plan to Plsy a setics of gatnes with out-of-town clube by telegraph may be carried out this winter. More than likely games on this | arranged with the Baltimore A. the A | S.N. of Philadelphia, the New York Athl and possibly the Boston Athletic Club. It is entirely feasible and in this way: Having agreed upon the time of beginning the game | and having a wire to each of the clubs play is begun. Then there has simply to be a repre~ sentative from each of the two clubs playing at the other end of the wire reaching to his own club house, When play is made the score is wired right to his club by its representative, rho isin the opponent's alleys, and #0 on fron both sides of the line. It is a good idea and I believe it would create agreat deal of interest among the members. OF course the team will also visit other cities to play. ‘There is great revival of interest in all de- partments of the club. The new house com- mittee, consisting of Messrs. _R. Edwin Joyce, chairman, and K. C, Fisher, T. B. Nolan, ©. W. Schneider and D. F. Merrill, jr., is a good one and has everything in good working order. Its special effort will be to make the house at- tractive to the members, Mr. W. M.

This city can very readily take care of one good athletic club, and there is no good reason why with what the C. A.C. has done for athleti &c., that there is not always a waiting list. Instructor Crossley has in hand a very likely lot of juniors, ranging from fifteen to nineteen years of age. all working in the gymnasium, | ditfieult to see that from them the’ senior grm- hastic class can at any time be profitably’ re- | cruited. Among these juniors are ley | Taussig, who is doing some good work wrestling at 125 pounds. He promises to be a wonder in bis class. Harry Lee of the same class bids fair to be- come a good wrestler at 185 pounds. Classes under Instructor Crossley are held regularly at 4:30 p.m. on Mondays and Thurs- days and at 8:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Fridays, and the attendance and interest is increasing each class day. Howard Lee is fast leaving the other mem- bers of the class in tumbling and at the bars and does a good brother act. Hough and Sewall are regularly on band and hard at work. Darhields, whose beautiful work on the rings and on the bar and in everything else about the gymnasium has pleased so many, has not been around for nearly a month. It is predicted for Orlando Ross that if he continues to improve he will readily win the Atlantic division championship for flying ring ‘There will be several special boute at the Warren Athletic Club house at Wilmington on November 23, among them being the one between De Saussure, the champion bantam weight of the club and of the D. C., and an unnamed (as yet). The former will’ spar at about 108. There is a new man, Johnson, who, at 110, is claimed to be clever. McGowan is also pre- for the sparring. He will work at about 135 pounds. ‘Von Lindgren and Carter are both coming back, and, of course, that means more good is growing to such an extent that the member- ship is outgrowing its present home and 1s im- looking to relief in the more commo- crpsapenineon Ay have from us been His i i ft di That the Coming Season Will Be = Good One | is Indicated by the Large Number of Ap- plications to the Local Clubs—Athletic Notes.

In actual service no battalion Jd ever be called upon to march, bolt up- with battalion front, to within 100 yards of two companies of infantry that were lymg down behind natural breastwork. If such a t should be made that would be the xecuted by that battalion. There were one or twoeuch blunders. Then there were failures to retreat according program. These may have and did make the contest more interesting and, perhaps, more realistic, but they caused at least two of the four casualties—fortunately siight which came to guard=macn daring the day. The ividual soldier erred considerably. His principal error was one that should never be repeated at any similar maneuvers which may take place in the future, It is exprewsly stated on the blank ammunition boxes the dis- barge is dangerous at twenty-five yards, but in spite of that warning hundreds of men die charged their pieces at each other within twenty-five feet.

GEN. ORDWAY SATISPIED. “For a first attempt,” said Gen, Ordway, “i wasa very successful affair. A great deal of valuable experience has been acquired. Iam well satisfied.” Col. Theodore Mosher, the adjutant general, was also much pleased with the manner is which everything had been done. He had more than a little to do with making it a success. To make individual mention of those who worked incessantly and piuckily would require the publication of a brigade roster; every man did the best he knew how. Capt. Couch and bis company of cyclists did rt crm well. They were on the left of the third bat- talion and aided materially in the difficult task of defeating the first separate bat talion. “The colored troops fought nobly.” RIFLE PRACTICE NEXT WEEK.
