The Efforts of the Management Sup- ported by the Public—The Closing List of Premiums Awarded. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, September & 198. Today closed, perhaps,-the most s:ccess- ful fair in the history of the Agricultural Society of this county, and one which re- flects credit on the management. In their efforts for success they have been nobly aided by public spirited citizens of the Dis- trict, who contributed much to bring about this result. During the entire three days the trials of speed have been the finest ever witnessed on this course, and in the con- test many District horses have competed. A notable feature of the exhibition was that,notwithstanding the great crowd pres- ent,not a case of disorderly conduct was wit- nessed on the grounds, and but one acci- dent occurred. The racing closed about 6 o'clock this evening as follows: ‘The Races. First race—2:20 class; trotting. Purse.$200. Princess Orloff, b. m., John Dugan, Wash- ington, D. C., 2, 1, 2 1.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In The Star of last Saturday (September 18%) I find an article under the above tle Tepublished from The Philadelphia Press, wherein the old zoological myth of the so-called “glass snake” is revived in glowing colors. Presented as it is in a manner calculated to have the unscientific reader believe the story, and being assured that The Star would not willingly misin- form its readers in any matter, I desire to say here a few words in refutation of the account in The Press. In the first place the (Opheosaurus ventralis, more prope-ly Ophisaurus) is not a snake at all, but is a lizard without external limss. So long ago as 1881 I published an account of the skel- eton of this lizard in The Proceedings of the United States National Museum, and pointed out there that it had rudimentary hind legs which never appeared on the out- side suzface of the body. The species and its habits are now well known to natural- ists. Secondly, when the creature breaks up into fragments it is always the result of some violence done it, and what is equal- ly true and important is that the fractures are invariably back of the vent or in the lizard’s true tail. They never occur through the body of the animal. That the pieces will wriggle about on the ground after the tail is broken there is no question, but it must be carefully borne in mind that that also occurs in the true lizards. An example fs seen in our little American chameleon of the southern states, where from slight vio- lence the tail will break up in that wa: and eventually a new one, without tru bony vertebrae, will grow out to take the place of the one thus lost. Sometimes a double one grows out, and specimens of that kind are in the National Museum. Finally, these fractured portions of the tail both in the “glass snake” as in other lizards, invariably die, and do not seek the | animal's body again to there attach them- | selves in place, and grow as before. Such | @ statement is but a fabulous myth and not | Worthy of serious consideration on the part | of anyone. Dr. R. W.

BASE BALL. The Washingtons Were Unable to Score at Cleveland Yesterday. Both Cleveland and Washington played brilliantly at Cleveland yesterday, but the Pace was too hot for the visitors and they dropped out of the fight. Only 9 of the Clevelands’ 27 put-outs were at first base, which shows that the Senators hit the ball, but could not place it safely. Sullivan made @ brilliant one-hand catch of a liner from McKean. Throwing the ball to Farrell, who threw it to Wise a triple-play was executed.

The Senators suffered a shut out and appear to be hopelessly floundering in last Place. Chicago gained again on St. Louis in the fight for ninth place. The following table gives the percentages of the clubs: 83 ui; Clube. Sam McKee thinks the bleachers in Wash- ington are the toughest lot in the league. He declares; “They are particularly se- vere on home players, urging them to keep out of their own way by putting their feet into a valise, and shouting for other men to come into the game when a player makes an error.” Some Mistakes of O'Rourke's. His (O'Rourke) persistent playing of Stricker at second and Wise at third was @ mistake pure and simple, and the change of Wise to second and Farrell to third was a great improvement. But where the main trouble occurred was in not taking time by the forelock and securing a first baseman just as soon as Larkin demonstrated his inability to keep sober and play a winning game. If ever a player received encourage- ment to do good work and keep straight it was Larkin, and it would have been better for all concerned if he had been laid off long before the man was caught flagrante delicto.—Sporting Life. Steam Yacht Rave for $40,000. Norman L. Munro of New York, who owns the steam yacht Norwood, is willing to race her. Lately McBride Brothers of Philadelphia, owners of the steam yacht Yankee Doodle, have been issuing chal- lenges. Mr. Munro has written a letter saying that he will accept McBride Brothers’ challenge on their own terms. He will race the Norwood against the Yankee Doodle fifty miles on the Hudson river for $20,000 a Mr. Munro issues a statement, authenti- cated by four persons who were on his yacht, that the Norwood showed him a mile over a rowing club course in one min- ute fifty-eight seconds. DIVIDING THE LEAGUE. Scheme to Have an Eastern ani Western Association. ‘The story, which emanated in St. Louts, about the scheme to revive the old Ameri- can Association, is denied by the league officials, but the St. Louis Chronicle, noth- ing daunted, comes back with a new ver- sion of the tale. It says: “The league will not deny the statement that at the coming winter meetings they will discuss plans to divide the National League, creating western and eastern leagues for 184. The object is to cut down the travelling expenses and avold the ‘long haul’ from Chicago and St. Louls to New York and Boston, ani vice versa. The Proposition to divide the National League is what gave color to the story that the a: sociation was to be brought into existence again. If the division is made, the western league will be composed of St. Louls, Chi- cago, Louisville, Cleveland, Cincinnati and either Pittsburg or Indianapolis. “Tne clubs in the eastern league will be Philadelphia, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Ney York, Boston and Washington. There is some talk of dropping Washington from the league on account of its no longer being @ money-making town, and {f it should be left out then Pittsburg will be taken into the eastern circult and Indianapolis given a franchise in the western. “This division would create a rivalry be- tween the east and west, and the winner in each circuit would meet in a champion- ship struggle at the end of the season for the national pennant.” O'Rourke to Be Here Next Year. Manager-Captain O'Rourke of the Sena- tors talked long and logically yesterday over the proposed change in the handling of the Washingtons. “We seem fated,” said he, “and I’m certain that a non-playing manager—a theorist, at that—cannot do any better with this aggregation. I must say that, to my mind, a non-playing man- ager hasn't the advantages of one who plays with the nine. He isn't in touch with the players, and I failcemftwypshridu with the players, and I fall to understand why people think men without practical experience at the game can sit on the bench and direct the playing of a club. But they do, and I guess there is to be a trial of it by the Washington club owners. What about the Bostons? Well, to my mind, Nash is the man who handles that club. You don’t see any statements where Mr. Selee is given credit for the team's success, ete. I don’t care about playing in Wash- ington next year, although I observe I am to be retained for first base. We don’t play there any more this year? Thank heaven. They have a crowd back of first base there that Is very severe on our players. They have always treated me right, however.” — Pittsburg Correspondence Sporting Life. Remeasuring the Vigtiant.

Values Here Suffered No Depreciation On Account of the Money Famine, Facts That Justify Cont ee in the Fature of Washington Real Estate Looking to an Active Market. With the rapidly growing confidence in matters financial which is being felt throughout the country comes in local real estate circles a steady advance in business, and the belief is general that within one or two months’ time the market here will have reached that very gratifying state it experienced before the recent monetary disturbances elsewhere in the land made themselves felt in the District. Whatever may have been the feeling elsewhere, it can safely be sald that at no time during the past month or so of financtal uncer- tainty throughout ‘the country was there a loss of confidence in the integrity of the values of real estate in the District. While sales have not been as numerous as here- tofore, the fact remains that forced sales have been even less frequent. The ex- planation of such a state of affairs is said to be due to the fact that there has been no difficulty in obtaining money on property. The renewal of loans has been at all times an easy matter, those holding paper being very willing to continue the investments, and that, too, at the old rates. There has been no depreciation of values in any section whatever, and that fact more than ‘all others illustrates the stability of real estate here and the wisdom of invest- ing in it. Speaking of the fear expressed by some of the residents of the District that real estate here would be seriously affected by the recent financial scaré, a member of one of the largest real estate firms in the city remarked a day or two that the fact that District real estate had in no wise suffered during that period of uncertainty precluded any doubt as to its future ad- vancement. The inactivity noted was, he thought, due almost as much to hot weather as it was to the financial situation. Not only did the business of his firm show a most gratifying daily increase, but the game report came to him from other firms here, and with the return to the city from their usual summer outings of those commanding money he had no doubt of the customary fall business in real estate. Building Notes, Matters in the local building world are yet somewhat quiet, few permits being taken out. But as money becomes easier, and it is becoming more 60 dally, it is be- Meved there will be @ renewal of the activ- ity noticeable during the early part of the spring. Such {s the opinion of those best acquainted with building matters. They state that there is no real scarcity of funds for such purposes, but that operations have simply been delayed to await the outcome of the financial disturbance just passed through. F. H.

Although the assertion may be a pretty broad one, the newspaper without a g00d advertisement or business writer on its staff is lacking one of the most important adjuncts to complete success. The fault with most newspapers is that they are not sufficiently in touch with thelr commercial clientele. No paper can succeed without advertis- ing, No paper can afford to take advertising without giving an equivalent. In other words, a newspaper may induce firms to advertise a week, month or a year by way of experiment, but as quickly as the advertiser finds he is not receiving arr adequate return upon his investment he will drop out discouraged. Drumming a merchant to death for his advertisement and then firing it in the paper anywhere and in any style, simply to have an excuse to present the bill, is bad business policy. After a while the entire local fleld_be- comes “worked” and discouraged, This discouragement results from two or three reasons. The average local merchant does not know exactly what he should advertise am not speaking of the large concern: nor does he know how to word his adver- tisement so to rob it of its mercenary spirit, or, rather, to word it a matter of information or ' new; writer and manager, hence are at a great advantage over the smaller stores. Again, the average business man is either too busy with other details of his business, or possibly unfitted to give sufficient atten- tion to advertising to make it profitable, hence it is frequently neglected. The Washington Star felt that many of its local spasmodic advertisers would ad- vertise all the year around, and willingly pay a small tax to have thelr advertise- ments written, attractively displayed, placed and otherwise made profitable. That they were right in the supposition ts evident from the large number of small daily changed “ads” now running, for the ureau has demonstrated that the small ‘ads” (from 10 to 60 agate lines), changed daily, or every other day, with new matter, tersely written and attractively displayed, equally as profitable in proportion to the expense as the column and double- column ads, and a big factor in causing the small store to grow big. ‘The Star probably has vaore small, fre- quently changed local ads ihan any other daily newspaper in America. Local business firms contract with the paper for a certain space, or so many lines to be used within a year, and then con- tract with the ad bureau to write the mat- ter and look after its display, position, &c. ‘The bureau calls upon the ‘irm every day, every other day, or once or iwice a week, as desired, and the merchant inakes known what he wishes to advertise and gives in his language the description or points to be covered. The ad-writer then puts it in his language,and has it displayed an attrac- tively as the space and matter will permit. Upon making a contract to take care of a firm's advertising the bureau prepares @ scrap book for that firm and pastes up the “ads” each “change.” All bills are checked “O, K.'a” by the bureau before presentation. The bureau charges for iis services %. $7.50, $10, $15, $20 and $25 per month, accord- ing to the space, frequency of changes, &c., which charge ts added to the bill when pre- sented each month. The bureau has a good business library; also has a large and attractive display of “novelty” printed matter, such as brochures, cards, schemes, booklets, prim- ers, &c., expressly for the benefit of its patrons in securing “ideas.” While at the world’s fair I made a special collection of this class of printed matter, and upon my return to ‘Washington sent letters to tho various business firms Invi ing them to call and inspect it for “Ideas.” T believe that the newspapers should as- sist the local merchants in every possible way to make their advertising profitable. ——_—_-e.__—_— Phila.

Though She May Be an Angel What The Athenians, whose whole business it was either to tell or hear something new, had an easy thing of it by comparison with the autocrats of fashion, whose perpetual task It is to evolve the new from the old. Often, indeed, like the orator who “went to his memory for his wit, and to his imag- ination for his facts,” their styles have more than the tang of reminiscence, their crea- tions all the crudeness of a concrete color— ———_ a riot. Think of wearing a light blue satin sash, with a heliotrope gown spotted and splashed with cherry velvet rosettes and finished with torrents of deep yellow lace. Yet that is what a Frenchman put upon a or creature who risked her looks in his ands, and no doubt felt that he deserved well of the republican who could not find @ dressmaker in all America with whom she fancied she might trust her wardrobe. She has come straight from Paris, bringing word that the rage for green and purple is there quite unabated. In fact, tones of the two colors that are well known to swear at each other—such, for example, as emi- nence purple and rifle green—are seen togeth- er in gowns, in wraps, even in hats and bonnets. Especially in felt, the hat itself shows the double tint, one in the crown, the other as a facing or maybe a whole brim. Both hues appear in the trimming, for which a new heavy corded ribbon is a big favorite. A caprice of the moment is to trim early fall hats with the very full lace- edged net ruching that is sold in the shops for boas, fichus and dress trimming. An- other caprice is to use silk, cut on the cross and deeply pinked. It is plaited very full, in treble box plaits, which are so caught down at intervals as to give the quilling the look of a wreath of stemless roses. None of these harmless things does my lady of the wings affect. The front of yore is not more daring than her hat brim—her feathers almost discount the glory of a drum major. She has the new stole cape— to He over her swelling heart—the newer and uglier epaulette ruffles to stand rigidly gut over her firmly gathered sleeve top. The puffs of them stand out as though they meant to try and be each a balloon that should bear their wearer to a heaven even than her seventh heaven of delight in this truly gorgeous outfit. For the gown is of green satin with ruffles of mauve silk mull and bows and daglets of green velvet and big buttons of git green crystal. Truly may she be writ a daughter of the revolution—the revolution against harmo- nious lines, ‘THEY DEMAND WORK.

F. G. Palmer of Pittsburg, a civil en- gineer, committed suicide yesterday after- noon in his room at 199 Washington street by inhaling gas. He was found sitting on a Washstand with the gas jet in his mouth. ‘The gas was turned on full. Palmer had been very despondent lately. Some of the neighbors say that he was not quite right in his head. He was eighty years old. He left a letter written in lead pencil on the back of an envelope. It was as follows: “I prefer to die because I cannot support and have lost the love of one of the best and truest wives on earth. May God bless her and our daughter. Wild patent schemes and not having known and served our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, have brought me to this sad end.’ An examination of his effects showed that Palmer was interested in @ patent bicycle railroad. ——+e+—_____ Two unknown men were instantly killed by the Pittsfield express on the Harlem rail- road, near Chappaqua, N.
