Leaving Boston on the evening of August 2 the Boston club went to Brooklyn, thence to Washington and Baltimore, finishing in Philadelphia. Three games were played in every city except Philadelphia, where four were played. The trip was as successful as any in the history of the league. Of the thirteen con- tests Boston won twelve and lost one. The games were full of brilliant plays on part of the champions, and were of such a character that no club could stand success- fully against them. Boston outbatted all its ments, and fas outfielded by one alone, Baltimore. The compilation of the thirteen’ gamea develops the following averages: Boston, batting av- erage, .221; opponents, .282; fielding averax $42; ‘opponents, 19a heavy percentag im_both respects favoring Boston. ‘The record of the Boston pitchers for the trip is: Gastright won four, Staley won three, Nichols won five and lost one. Stiv- etts attempted to pitch in two games, but retired on account of fllness. ‘Take it all in all,the work on the trip was wonderfuland proves that the present Hos- ton team comes as near being the ideal base ball club as any ever in America.—Boston Globe. <<. A BRONCO BRAINED. Sufeidal Act of a Vicious and Unman- ageal Mustang. From the San Francisco Chronicle. A bronco burdened with the name of Chris Evans met his death at Central Park yes- .| terday and is now an inmate of the bone yard. This particular Chris Evane was a buckskin mustang that had the reputation of being the most vicious bucker In Arizona or Mexico. He has been exhibiting his bucking qualifications at the afternoon and evening performances of the Wild West show at Central Park ever since the show came to town, and his performance has been one of the chief attractions of the en- tertainment, He died st his post yesterday afternoon. He dashed his brains out against an electric light pole in the corner of @ lot, and at the same time broke his neck. It was during the regular afternoon per- formance, and was witnessed by a crowd that was limited in size only by the ca- pacity of the park. Evans, the bucking mustang, was led out and & sedddle was slung on his back. A leather strap was laced over his eyes and Peter McCoy, a in Francisco vaquero, jumped into the sad- dle. The biinder was then pulled up over the horse’s eyes and he forthwith com- menced his bucking antics. Such bucking Was never before seen in San Francisco, The horse dashed down the field, exertin; every ‘muscle to throw his rider.’ ‘The wild bronco swung around and dashed down the field in the opposite direction. It was # suc- cession of mighty jumps into the air. The animal seemed to make a straight line for a tall electric light pole in the cun- ter of the lot. It is thought the blinder must have dropped _gver his eyes and ob- scured his vision. He plunged head. fore- most against the massive upright, and the Feport of the concussion of his head and the | pole was heard all over the lot. He landed on all fours and stood perfectly still, with to one side. McCoy dismounted. The animal did not Move a muscle for almost a quarter of a minute. Then a perceptible quiver shook his whole frame, and he drop) earth. Chris Evans was dead DPC? © the How Do You Perspiret From the Pittsburg Chront:le-Telecraph, The meetings of the diverse people who congregate on the Midway Plaisance at the Columbian exposition are said to be deeply interesting to those who are sufficiently acquainted with the languages to under stand them. The Arabian observes to his fellow Arab: “Thank God, how are you?” uential question: “How can you?" The French- man solicitously inquires, “How do you carry yoursel Germans want to know “How goes it?" or “How do you find your- self” The Russians formula is “How do you live on?” But the Egyptian’s is the salutation which appeals most strongly to the brofled sightseer in his cosmopolitan reservation. He anxiously inquires: "How do you perspire?” There is a wonderful affinity between this greeting from the land of the Nile and the crocodile, and the fa- millar question put by Americans, from the Atlantic to Pacific and from the lakes to the gulf—“Is it hot enough for you?” THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY. AUGUST 19, 1893—SIXTEEN PAGES: BETWEEN SEASONS. Midsummer Gayeties Are on the Wane. RESTING FOR THE WINTER. Claim Attention. WHERE W ASHINGTONIANS ARE Things are not so very gay at any of the fashionable resorts this summer. The mil- Honaires are doing pretty much all of it, but the great majority of people are rather resting on laurels won than putting them- selves to any unusual exertions to adi nother leaf or two. In one way, so far us this city is concerned, it is all for the best. ‘Those who have had the good sense to rest all the summer will be in better trim for the winter campaign. The Washington colony at Bar Harbor seems to be livelier than at Newport. At the former place our folks are doing pretty much all of the en- tertaining, and certainly the part that seems to have any element of novelty about it, There are several able bodied rumors of ‘Weddings of sufficient importance to create more than ordinary comment during th coming @utumn. One young lady who has been @ popular bridesmaid since her debut & few years back will not be able to of- Relate in that capacity much longer, as she ‘will soon join the of young matrons. Her ment and prospective marriaye to @ well-known young clubman will soon be announced. It will not be altogether strange if the ba- bles and little children belonging to the offic- tal families of this administration would not Prove serious rivals so far as public inter- est is concern the grown up youn, ladies and gentlemen who are the pride and doy of several of the other homes. Baby Ruth has not been seen yet at- tending to affairs of state in her father’s office. President Cleveland does not go in for that kind of thing lke Mr. Harrison, Many @ visitor found Baby McKee having & frolic with his grandfather in the inter ims between the dispatch of public busi- ness. The Secretary of the Interior is an- other of the domestic public men. A pic- ture of Mrs. Smith and their children adorns his office desk and Master Smith has the pleasure of riding on his pony be- side his father every morning as t! tter goes on horseback to his office and home again in the afternoon. Little Margaret Bissell goes to the Post Office Department these nice cool mornings with her father. He has been separated 50 many weeks from her ladyship that now that she is back in town he likes to have all of her company that is possible: ‘The Lamont children are already nation- al characters in one sense. The eldest @aughters of the Secretary of War have a keen remembrance of their former reel dence in this city. Their parents have long of them, and with the have had these little misses are naturally far ahead of other children of their years in genera! informa- tion. Their only regret in coming to this city last spring was the fact that by doing 80 they would be obliged to break up the Pleasant school acquaintances they had formed. Just as soon as the house on Lafayette Square is ready for occupancy Mrs. Lamont will be only too happy to return here and place Bessie, who is now eleven, and Julia, who is nine, at school. Miss Frances Lamont is not five years yet, s0 she will need no schooling for another year. | Miss Bessie Lawton has gone to Atlantic City for a few weeks.

ATLANTIC CITY, August 13, 1898, Atlantic City people are like butterfies— they are fond of sunshine and blue sky. Just notice the hotel parlors when e chilly ‘wind blows or it is the least bit cloudy and see how the people gather there, away from imaginary drafts and moisture. Mammas and aunties sit and talk over their different colds and headaches, the virtues of their re- spective maid servants and the quantity of material it takes to make the new-fangled sleeves. The daughters, bless ‘em, go out on the board walk and weather the gale, enjoying the excitement of making head- way against the driving winds and salty spray that drives them back at every step. But the weather has great effect on the summer guests, and if the morning is cloudy the bathers hesitate to go out; but Just let the jolly old sun show his face, and as if by magic the bathers show their faces, too, and the beach is soon covered with them and the surf full of them. Those who don’t bathe sit’ and watch those who do, laughing at the ludicrous and admiring the picturesque. One of the watch- ers is an innocent old farmer, who perhaps hasn't been away from his country home in twenty years. He comes from up in Jer- wey somewhere, and he wears a slouch hat that has seen’ many summers and more winters. He wears bluejeans, too, and tucks them in the top of his rough cowhide boots, and there he stands on the board walk, leaning his bony elbows on the wood- en railing, looking down at the pretty girl bathers. For a while he does not say any- thing at all, and finally, as if the limit of suppression had been reached, he bursts out: “By gosh, some of them things ain't ghough clo’es on to keep the skeeters o! Then everbody laughs at him, poor old fe low. The world has left him far behind years ago. Te Reduce Avoirdupots. There is a young woman here who ts— must I write it?—fat; that’s the word; she 4s fat.and there is no denying it. One of the guards declares that when she goes into the surf the water immediately rises three inch- es; but, of course, he may be a little sar- castic about this. The same young woman is very much afraid she 1s going to get fa ter, just think of it, so after she has becn in the water for awhile she comes out and begins to run around a circle until she gets out of breath, then she rests a while and Goes at it again. Poor child! I'm so glad I'm Rot as fat as she {s. I have not discovered yet that she loses flesh by reason of such violent exercise. Perhaps, though, that will come in course of time. = saw a queer fellow yesterday: he ts, {1 deed, most laughable; he has yellow hair and yellow whiskers and, as if this were not enough, he wears a bathing costume with out sleeves and without stockings, a tume all in one piece, made of black and white striped flannel, each stripe being about four inches wide. Maybe the people don’t make fun of him. I guess there's no man on the beach that gets more chaffing than he does, : ere is a pretty girl bather here that has two very ardent admirers who are fond of carrying her about on thelr shoulders up and down the beach. She looks very queen- ly sitting up there on her throne, and some of the girls look at her with envy, others frown, and the pretty girl smiles and says “sour grapes!" * A Yacht on the Bar, There was some excitement last Satur- @ay when the yacht J. C. Smith, Capt. Whitaker, of Bridgetown, with six passen- gers, went ashore on the north bar. She rolled very heavily, and the ensign was re- versed and flown from the masthead. The Ufe-saving crew was quick to reach the dis- abled vessel and bring off the passenger: three of whom were women, who showed admirable courage and who were soon safe on land and well cared for. The captain and crew stayed on board the vessel till th tide came in ‘and lifted her off the treacher- ous shoals. The sands shift about so that 1¢ 18 almost impossible to place the bars be- fore they change their abiding place. On name unknown, Yirginia avenue beach. for instance, the sands are washing away at the rate of thirty-six inches a week, leaving ex} the piles that supported the old pier. These piles have to be sawed off a foot every weels to keep them level with the sand. ‘The most attractive recent feature was the dance at the Richmond, which was led Mr. Frederick Bixby of Los Angeles, and Miss Marshall of Washington, whose honor the dance was given. Mi Marshall was very charming and most ve- comingly gowned. The event of the even- ing was the fancy dancing by the children. Progressive euchre still holds first place in the hearts of many. At the Irvington a Very enjoyable game was played, in which Washingtonians figured | prominently. Around the tables were Miss Ida Laumel Miss Hulda Laumeter, Mrs. C. Laumelet L, A.

A Parisian newspaper says that it shows @ want of good breeding for a lady to pel mit a gentleman to give her his seat in crowded public conveyance, and adds “Nothing can be more annoying for seated travelers than this mutual exchange of s0- called courtesies and congratulations which on at their knees and threatens their feet, perhaps more or less afficted with corns. Remain seated, gentlemen; remain seated." if the Frenchman who wrote this had ever gone through the experience of having a lady decline a seat he offered he might write another chapter about the want of good breeding in refusing well- meant courtesies of strangers. The New Jersey commuters who cross the ferries during the rush hours have solved the diffi culties of this whole perplexing matter in a thoroughly democratic way. When a gen- tleman on a crowded boat sees a lady ap- proaching whom he thinks would appre- clate a seat he waits till she ts nearly oppo- site to him, and then without demonstza- tion of any sort he simply rises and goes out on the deck. The lady is free to ait prefers, and the Funs 00 risk of @ snub. gent ABOUT GEORGETOWN. King Policy Reigns on the Virginia Side. NOT ALLOWED 10 CROSS THE BRIDGE.

Not, however, ras he been deprived of existence, but merely confined to a territory where his sway for years has been czar-like. If he comes at any time into the District limits the police have been instructed to exert every effort to get hold of him. With such fear, though, do policy men now view the penalty inflicted by law that the police say they have no hesitancy in de- claring that Georgetown is absolutely tree of writers. Though the greatest vigilance has been exercised not an arrest has been made in Georgetown for nearly two months. Every day Rosslyn is infested, however, with Patrons of the game.

I found my mother talking to a very Young gentleman with long brown hair falling fn silky masses over his temples; Tith an eye which, young as I was, at once struck me as full of power and strong will, and with a touching expression of sweet. ness and kindliness on the lips. There ts not the slightest reason why I should give you any more detailed picture of the coun’ enance or the dress of Charles Dickens. Let it suffice to say that he dressed up to the very height of the existing fashion. He 4s not to be blamed, I should say, for having done so. He was feeling his life in every Umb and enjoying its bright side and its good things. After an unhappy chiidhood and a laborious and, comparatively speak- ing, indigent youth, he had suddenly, through his own wonderful genius, wholly unaided and unpatronized by the noble o: the wealthy, turned the corner to find him self pacing the highway of roses, and, with Old Time trudging by his side, looking kindly on the youthful traveler, and gently holding the hour glass, which was, in truth, inevitable, but in which, to “Boz,” sands were as diamond dust that sparkled as they passed.

It is Increasing at the Rate Almost of a Thousand a Week. Prevalence of Uni- forms From the Cuirassiers of the Guard Down to Children’s Nurses. Correspondence of The Evening Star. BERLIN, July 20, 1893. Berlin is essentially a modern city; its rapid growth finds no varallel except in America. When Napoleon I made his tri- umphal entry on the 2th of October, 1806, it numbered 172,000 inhabitanis; it mow con- tains ten times as smany. Since the census of December 1, 189, nearly 100,- 000 souls have been added to its popu- lation, and it is now Increasing at the rate of almost a thousand a week. It is not to be expected, therefore, that its external aspect should be especially for- eign, for the rules of domestic architec- ture are in all civilized countries practi- cally the same. On closer inspection it ex- hibits some peculiarities which distinguish it from other great cities of the continent, and which may be considered as en ad- vantage, or the reverse, according to the point from which they are phate Cnceny ae pe eg pet ce, b T'reserve them for future consideration. The traits to which I now desire to refer are those which would be most likely to strike a stranger visiting Berlin for the Grst time. I didn’t mean such monumental mon- strosities as the gilded statue of Borvssis, by Drake, with the skirts turned up actly equal angles on either side by a sup- Posititious breeze, on the summit of the “Victory Column” in the Koenixs-Platz, which is sure to be the first object which meets the eye of a visitor arriving from America by way of Hamburg or Kremen and alighting at the Lehrter station; nor do I mean the ntic but as yet unfinished building of the a gise t is — <4 rominent object en route to centel the city, ‘and which the kaiser is to have lately characterized as “the heicht of Biel nods whi oSaputas ese a it), 0 Stherm I cnmnot altogether ree with the kaiser. I don’t mean, ‘tn: at the mo- ment, any of the palaces, or statues, or parks, or fountains, of which Berlin has so many to show; I refer simply to the most striking and characteristic reatures of the population. The Prevalence of Uniforms. It seems to me that the first thing with which a stranger would be impressed is the prevalence of uniforms. It is hardly @n exaggeration to say that every third man that one meets in the streets wears a uniform of some kind. Every government or corporate official or employe, fromm the highest to thé lowest, is required, when on duty, to appear in the uniform which dc- notes his character and rank. From the kaiser down to the street sweeper, through all the various grades of army officers and privates, ministers of state, post office and Tallway officials end servants, telegraph operators, clergymen and cabmen, car driv- ers and conductors, and, in fact, nearly all descriptions of persons who may be said to constitute a class by themsclves, no one wg teen in public without his ap- Hse ress. And this custom is not er confined to the male sex; the a army of young women, for example, who are employed as clerks and cashiers by Mey & Edlich, the Wanamakers of are required to wear black dresses of a special stuff and style. The ptreet sweepers, of whom there is a whole regi- ment, more than 1,20 strong, without counting the attaches of the trucks, and the sweeping machines, and the sprinkling carts, wear brown. blouses and a sort of dirty white woolen trousers, which seem particularly inappropriate, but are adopt- ed for sanitary reasons. The only weapon of this brigade is an implement about the size of a hay rake, consisting of a loug handle terminated by a cross-plec?, on one bevet of which is a broom of stiff brush and on the other raper, so that it may be effectively used on either stone or as- Phalt pavements. After a rain a broad strip of pliable rubber is substituted, and the rapidity with which the asphalt is cleaned and dried by this means is mar- velous. It often happens that in such a case the middle of the street is decidedly to be preferred to the sidewalk us a prom- enade. ‘The uniforms of the drivers of the nary-colored wagons o* the “strassenport,’ employed to convey mali matter between the central post vifice and the numerous branch offices, is a survival of the old! times when ‘the approacn of the mail coach used to be heralded by the mellow winding of a horn. The traditionai post horn, with its circular loop, still forms Part of the costume, being suspended from the neck and worn under the left arm. it 1s of brightly pol rass, but ts 20 laced down with cords that it would be difficult to raise ft to the mouth, an I have sometimes doubted whether it is a real horn at all. The uniform ts of a blue so dark as to be almost invisible, and the high round-crowned hat bears a jaunty cockade Perched upon the left side, reminding one of the Tyrol. ‘The Cuirassiers of the Guard. In a great military capital like Berlin,with & garrison of %,00) of the choicest troops of the German army, there fs naturally an ex- traordinary variety of military uniferms— Culrassiers, hussars, lancers, dragoons, Jaegers and all the other multifarious di- visions of the army are readily recognized by the practical eye, and while the undress uniform in Which they usually appear ts plain, though distinctive, the dress worn on occasions of parade or ceremony is often very brilliant. There can hardly be a finer show of its kind than that presented by a regiment of Cuirassiers of the guard, in heir white uniforms, their polished corsclets littering in the sunlight ani thelr brazen Feimete, each surmounted by an eagle with cutspread wings, so bright that the} Uke silver, as they prance along some state- ly avenue upon their Bay horses to the music of an inspiriting march, with the kaiser at their head. This is the corps d° elite; Its officers are taken exclusively from the ranks of the nobility, and it is in their uniform that the kaiser most frequently ap- Pears in public. A peculiar feature of the uipment of the first and second regiments of infantry of the guard ts the odd mitre, shaped head-piece of polished brass and bright scarlet cloth, rising to a point in front and thence sloping sharply backward. Nothing could be more ingeniously devised to furnish a shining mark for an enemy's bullet, but it is a legacy from the time of the Great Frederick, and in spite of its in- convenience and its ‘almost comical ugliness it appeals proudly to every patriotic Prus- sian heart. It was amusing to ses the young crown prince when, according to the custom of the royal house, he first donned this uri- form on his induction into the first regi- Ment as second lieutenant on his tenth birthday. His helmet looked almost as tall as himself. It is now reserved for gala oc- casions; in actual service it is discarded for the lighter and more convenient “service cap.” Another noteworthy corps is that of the Uhlans; they ride coal black horses and present a fine appearance us they sit erect in the saddle with their lances resting up- right on the stirrup and their little pennons fluttering in the breeze. I have sald nothing of the policemen. They are, of course, in uniform, and one meets them, on foot or mounted, at every turn. They are numerous enough: as I was enjoying my post-prandial cigar on the rear platform of a street car the other day Thad a iittle conversation with Policomay, No. 4,000. They do not always evince that refined courtesy which 1s supposed to dis- tinguish the higher circles of society, but they are usually civil enough te answer a question civilly put. They seem sometimes to be a little over solicitous about ther of- fictal dignity, but then that is really their most valuable possession. 1 must not, for- et the sentinels stationed in front of the little black and white striped sentry boxes on either side of the main entrance of the palace of the royal princes, and of the of- ficial residences of the minister of war, and the commanding general of the guards, and at the base of sundry public monuments, Their chief duty is to “present arms" to every officer who passes their post, and in @ crowded thoroughfare like the Leipziger- Strasse, where the ministry of war is lo- cated, ‘this is no sinecure. They keep a very sharp look out on all the passers, and no sooner does one of them eépy an officer's uniform than he gives the wink to his com- panion, and both their pieces are situul- taneously brought into the prescribed posi- tion. The officer responds by touching his cap. On some of the more unfrequented | posts, however, I have seen a sentinel pre- sent arms to an officer at lei 300 hundred feet away, who was entirely unconscious of | the homage he was receiving. But it {4 one | of the requirements of the service, the 1e- glect of which might involve unpleasant consquences to the delinquent, and it keeps | the sentinel wide awake, an@ gives them at least something to do. ‘On a cold da pecially, the “present” ‘and, the “reco furnish opportunity for invigorating exer- cise to the unfortunate automaton would otherwise be compelled to stand mo- tionless in the bitter wind and freeze for a) couple of hours. The Children’s Nurses, But of all the varied costumes which greet the eye of the stranger in Berlin that of the “ammen,” or children’s nurses, perhaps attracts the most attention, espe- cially when the warm and sunny days of May and early June encourage anxious mothers to give their offspring a foretaste of summer joys in the led alleys and the sluggish streams of the beautiful Thuergarten I cannot call this costume a | and foreclosed so as to defraud uniform, for it varies indefinitely, and al- most infinitely, with the wealth and taste Hot of the wearer, but of the mistress; in its main features, however, it is a @uction of the old Wendiah ‘costume, wi s_still prevalent in the Spreewald, has descended through @ decade of ‘centuries from the aboriginal proprietors of the soil. It is almost as Picturesque, though cer- tainly not as graceful, as that of the Italian Contadine who sit upon the Scall di Spagna, the long fight of steps leading up to the Santa Trinita de Monti, with which every visitor to Rome is familiar, waiting for en- Sagements as artists’ models. The black Velvet bodice and white chemisette, leaving the arms bare almost to the shoulder, the gaily flowered neckerchief, the short crim- cealed by a voluminous white prom, Sorz ¥ a vol us white apron, a ag a or blue si neatly fitting, - heeled shoes, and above all the extraordi- nary white- headdress, marvelous combinations of the tall Breton bonnet with the Italian fazzoletto da capa, and very miracles of the laundress’ art, ace an ensemble which can hardly fat ot oat the gaze of a stranger. It say that these parti-colored pings seldom adorn any beauty elther of or . ‘Some of the “ammen” really do come the Spreewald; there are others who, if ad- dressed in German, would be very ‘apt to respond in French. They and their little charges cot te in the open circles, shaded by lofty trees, which are set apart as play grounds, and where the little ones are free to amuse themselves in almost any way which the imagination of a child can conceive. They are generally provided with wooden pails and shovels, wi dig until deep holes soil and great heaps of earth are raised at their borders, only to back and excavated, and so on ad infinitum, F ehink it ts quite safe to say that on e fine day in early summer no tent on the habitable surface of ours contains | so much concrete and innocen: joyment as the ‘Thiergarten.
