THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, SATURDAY. JANUARY 7, 1893—SIXTEEN PAGES. " On Wednesday, the 18th instant, » exhibition of gymnastics will be given to the sustaining members and their wives and fami- lies. Many of these sustaining members con- tribute regularly, but never get an opportnnity to come near the place to get any benefits de- riving from their membership. The exhibition will be of a special character and those who will take part are working earnestly to perfect them- selves in their various specialties. Admission will pe by card only and will be issued only to surtainiug members and certain prominent persons here who take an interest in the organi- Zation for the good it does. The Association Monthly for January is out and in its present shape, reduced about one-half in size, it is more convenient and less bulky. The current number is filled with bright mat- ter and ‘vontains an excellent cut of the foot ball team of *92.

As he himself admitted to a Stan man yesterday the exact lo- cality of his residence on various occasions has depended largely on the activity of the vigilance committees. His reputation for truth and veracity in the com- munity in which he is beat known is something that no one east of the Mississippi knows an: thing about. But he was an interesting and instructive talker. “Tm not dead certain what effeteness means, bnt it ix = phrase that we always use around my section when we speuk of you paople. e’re fan de synele, and that means up to date, fee? Why, you people think you know some- thing about foot bull, when the fact is you're not in it for either half with us, We've got | more wrinkles into the game out where I live than all the foot ball professors at Yale or | Princeton could teach in a whole college course. | Say, if you want a good story and are sure that | the editor who'll read your copy ain't too squeamish about details I'll tell you a simple and unvarnished tale of foot ball ‘as was foot ball. Or, raaybe you've heard of the great foot ball game we had at Horse Springs, N. M., last Thanksgiving day. No? Well, say, what sort of a sporty editor have you got, anyway. Weil, here goes FOOT PALL FOR THANKSGIVING DAy. “Horse Springs isn't much of « place to look at, but it's plumb game, and any sort of sport catches the crowd and we're ready with our money, too. This fall N troop of the eleventh cavalry was stationed down there and in the crowd was a little Jeftenant who wasn't long ont of West Point, but he always seemed to ime to be able to stay right up with the procession, no matter what was going on. He was the one that made the suggestion that we get up a Thanksgiving day foot ball game, for he had been in the business himself when he was atechool and had played against the boys from the Naval Academy and knew a full back from a goal post as fer as he could see ‘em. He called a meeting of the crowd one night down at the dmg store and when he got to telling about how the game was worked they ali got so interested that nothing short of a dog fight could have brought them out. The liquor was passing | round rather promiscnous, but not enongh to hurt. One of the boys wanted to know if the players used axes and he kind 0° lost interest in the «tory when he found that they weren't even allowed to take their guna onto the foot ball field. Ithink myself that they wonld be al- most necessary to real good playing. But when the boys found out thatatman can get thrown onto the ground and have cbout twenty men fall onto him and have his face pounded into @ jelly and most of his rivs broken and yet didn't have a right to clean out the whole crowd with a six shooter after the game and that even there wasn't a good Kentucky fead between the two teams after the assault and battery, why us fellows just naturally said we wonldn't touch no such game with a ten-foot pole and Lippy Bill he suid that he thought that foot ball was jest about the sort of a game for guy ment imules to play. BUBROS ¥S. MULES. “Well, that idea led to the next as one thing leads to another until finally Tom Murray, that used to be something of a broncho buster be- fore he got his right leg thot off in a friendly encounter in Leadville some yearsago, snid that he had just come down from the range, with a Pack train of burros, and that give him a couple of weeks for traning purposes and he could get up a foot ball eleven out of them burros that conld walk away from the best game that the leftenant could put up with all the pack mules his troop could furnieh, “The challenge was accepted in courae and its health waa drunk, and so was Lippy Bill and one or two others by this time, by the way. But before the crowd adjourned to the faro lay- out it was decided that owing to the difference in weight in the two teams eight mules was to lay against a dozen burros and the betting was Begun right then and there, with the odds some in favor of the army team. TRAINING THE FOUR-FOOTED TEAMS. “This was about two weeks before Thanks- giving and #0 both of the trainers had plenty of time to get their teams into good shape for the fight. The leftenant took the big horee corral back of the barracks for his training ground and he put a corporal’s guard at the gate to keep any of the rooters from the other side from getting in to see the tricks and the tactics he was a drilling them mules onto. He was mighty secret about it all, but we noticed that the other ofiicers were very free with their cash, so that the odds got longer on the heavy- weight team. “some one told Tom that there wasan old college man from the cast who was down on his luck and was clinsing cows on a range about twenty miles away, #0 he sent for him to come down to the Springs and put the burros onto all the latest fads aud fancies in the way of foot bail carryinge on. Every afternoon when things waa a little dull we tied to go over and sce how his team was getting along, and it really was nmazigg to see how them burros improved in their play under his coaching. ‘They were al! in pretty good physical trim, for they had been carrying heavy londs all the fall, eo Tom let them reat a bit and fed them well upon grain and such hard food, with whisky to sort of keep up their nervi whisky was a bad thing —for burros I, m for when the big game began they came up rather groggy. READY YOR THE GREAT OAMF. “The game began at neon, and it was de- cided that they would only play one-half, be- couse they knew that when the fun once began they never could separate them animals for no intermission. There was some tronble about petting s referee and on empire," cause we all ‘our money On one side or the other and tho leftenant tit was necessary that they should be impartial. But finally we picked on two rank outsiders who had just struck town that morning and had never seen a game played, and hadn'teven been to any of our meetings when the leftenant blew all of us in on the fine points of the game. The referee and the other chap was furnished with good saddle horses and each one took «long a rawhide Ioriat to put a stop to any foul tackling. We used a regulation foot ball that we had sent up to 'Friseo for, only wo tied a piece of rope to each end so that a critter could pick it up in his month in ease he wanted to ran with the ball. it was clear from the start of the first round that the mule team were going to try « hard kicking game while the Little chaps who were kindo’ on the defensi would have to resort to blocking tactics, FOOT PALL AS WAS FOOT BALL. “Well, the game started with tbe ball in the Possession of the burros and they made" about twenty yards on what we was told by the left- tenant wasa V trick.

Say, thero ain't any teara in this country that can stand up against an eleven made up of giv'ment males, Well. from that time it was a clean walkover for the army crowd, for our fellows never ecored but once, and that was when a little pot-bellied burro, who was a mighty pretty dodger, went clean Under the big right tackle mule and scored & touch down. But that only gave as four points, for our fall back was blind in one eye, and he missed his try for goal by about forty yards. The ball went clean over and into the captain's front window, and they had to lariat pretty much all of both teams to them from going right in after it. The mules went right and scored eighty, five points on nothing but goals from the field, and Lm only players that ever touched the leather were the quarter back, who passed the ball, and thet phenomenal kicker who played full back. “It was a great game, and when they called time after about three-quarters of an hour it took twenty-five cowboys to separate the two teams, Tom Murray has had to go out of the packing business because he ain't got no more animals to pack with and I hear that the com- mandant of the post has had to make requ: tion on the War Department for a new ontit of gay’ment mules.

At this season of the year. when bicycling for pleasure is wholly unthought of, the ownors of them are putting them in the shops and getting them put in first-class order for ‘the apring time, when they can start out on the road and not have to wait for their wheels because the wheel hands in the shops are all busy. Just now the shops are not overstocked with work and wheelmen who bad the experience of hav- ing repairing done in past years arc taking ad- vantage of the opportunity, because they know their iron horses will receive better attention now than they will Inter on, When the riding season opens there is arash for the shops, and it isacase of first come first eerved A Star reporter happened in a shop the other day, and piled in every corner were sections of bicycles and tricycles, and the dealer explained that the pieces were what was left of wrecks and oid stock that had been ridden to death until they were bevond repait. Then there were some old upright wheels, relics of the past, and the denler said that $10 was a good, price for any one of them. ‘The old-fashioned tricycles are getting scarce now, and reldom are any of them seen on the streets Especially is this the caso in the day time. Harry Higham is about the only dealer who bas any of them now, and hires them principally to actors and actresses after theater time during the summer. There is no sale whatever for them, and with the exception of the “night owls” it is only occasionally that one of them is hired, and then the rider is usu- ally some one who cannot ride a two-wheel vehicle. ‘The care of wheels in the winter time is an- other matter of importance to be considered. The Northern Wheeler, upon this subject in a recent issue, sai “Shere is a very important point which I should like again to impress upon ms fellow- riders—it is the care of machines during the | winter months. Last winter two intimate friends of mine, who let their machines stand all the winter throngh in a damp sbed, without | any covering or even a touch of vaseline for them rusted ali over and in a most pitiable and dilapidated condition when they wanted to ride agmn. Teannot conceive how such a mistake could have been made, When we think how fond women are of cycling, or, I should say, enthusiastic, it is odd to think they would leave their machines in this fashion, the remit of which means rnin to the machine. The fact must not be overlooked that machines need the greatest care and attention, and it behooves riders to see that mud and ditt is thoroughly re- | moved after a wet ride, all the parts well cleaned and oiled, and when put away the machine should be thoroughly protected. If these points are overlooked or discarded the result can bet- ter be imagined than described.” THE ARLINGTONS’ ANNUAL DINNER. Tuesday evening the annval dinner of the F street. President Gettinger presided and there was a large attendance of members. ‘The members! of the association has creased wonderiuily during the last year and most of the members in addition to being mem- bere of the L. A. W. are members of the Century Road Club and wear gold bars, each one representing a 100 mile ride within the +ix- teen hour limit, The Nomad Cycle Club held a progressive euchre meeting Wednesday evening at the resi- dence of Miss Busch, No. 2210 I street north- west. The meeting was a pleasant one and the prizes were the result of a good selection. Mr. Deiano und Miss Martin won the first prizes,whilo the booby prizes were won by sub- stitute players, A meeting of the Crescent Century Wheel- men was called for this week, but owing to holiday engagements there was nota quorum present and no business conld be transacted. Several bide been received for the new black uniforms adopted by the club some weeks ago. and a number of applications for membership were presented, but no action was taken on them, XEW LOCAL coxsuL. In L. A. W. circlos this city has never had a local consul, probably for the reason that the territory covered is so emall that the chief con- tul of the division found the work an enay task, with the possible exception of last year, when the annual mect was held bere. Since the ei tion of Chief Consul Stinemetz he has desig- nated Capt. Robertson of the Arlington Wheel- men ns local consul, but Capt. Robertson de- clined the appointment, as he did not feel like giving his attention to the duties connected with the office, MR. OVERMAN'S TRIP. ‘Mr. Charles R. Overman, the popular wheel- man, went to Boston a Couple of weeks ago to spend the holidays with his old friends. The A, W. Bulletin, speaking of his visit, said: patyese R jee is oe ~~ again spending the holidays,and Boston is ‘o congratulated. Of thease of the carth is C.
