Executive Committee, K. of P. ‘The executive committee of the Knights of Pytaias encampment held a meeting last night at Pythias headquarters. Chair- man Richard Goodhart presided and Sec- retary A. F. Medford did the recording. Reports from several of the subcommittees were read and approved. The proposition of Mr. Grapp as to hauling baggage, equip- ments, &c., from the depots to the camp grounds was approved. It is expected that the next meeting of the committee will be a very interesting one, as it is proba- bie that the committee will change its course as to the manner of giving out of- ficial Information. At the special meeting of the committee held since the lest regu. lar meeting Maj. Gen. Carnahan was Froment. and he stated that up to that time ne had received numerous requests to se- eure horses for the parade and that at Present arrangements could be made to secure about 700 horses. He was instruct- ed that he could announce to the order that the horses cou!d be obtained. Chair- man J. H. Mitchell of the public comfort coramittee stated that he had secured ac- commodations for a number of person: who intended to come during the conclave and that nearly all of the boarding houses and hotel proprietors had registered on his books. —. -— Army Medical School. The Army Medical School, organized In this city for the practical instruction of ‘ly appointed assistant surgeons in the rmy, will close its first term tomorrow. The school is young, but has already demonstrated its usefulness. There are candidates who have at- ool regularly for all the courses. Several of the younger officers of the army medical corps have attended some of the sections and one enthusiast spent part of his leave of absence in at- tendance on the lectures. It is provable that as the opportunities for instruction increase the scope of the institution will be extended. An effort will be made to ar- range for a course of lectures by prominent civil physicians and surgeons from differ- ent parts of the country, for the bemefit not only of the students. but of the medi- cal fraternity in this city generally. Sev- eral leading specialists have indicated a liggness to co-operate in a plan of this kind. n —— The Eastern Dispensary. The lady managers of the Eastern Dis- pensary, assisted by the board of directors, will give a select musical and literary re- ception at the National Hotel Wednesday, February 23, from § to 10:30 p.m., to increase their building fund. The program is very attractive, and among those who have vol- rrteered for the evening are Mr. R. C. Bal- linger, Mr. Hub T. Smith, Mr. John Twee- dale, Miss Annie Dunn, Mr. W. D. McFar- land, Mr. George D. Scott, Miss Alice Jud- son,” Miss Eichelberger, Miss AtLee, Mr. Amiss, Miss Winifred Cudworth and Mr. Talbot Pulizzii Mr. Wm. H. Crosby has generously donated the parlors and large all of the hotel for the charitable occa- sion. — The Masonic Temple Fire. The loss to the Masonic Hall Building As- sociation through the fire in the Masonic Temple early Sunday morning, tt is thought by Mr. Noble D. Larner, secretary of the association, will reach a higher figure than first believed, Mr. Larner being now of the opinion that it will reach at least $8,000. It is understood that the basement and first two floors of the building will have to be repaired, new st ‘sand supports in the basement being yecessary, and the interior % whole bullding will have to be re- frese; The loss was, of ‘. covered by the insurance on the building, which is stated to be $87,500. _ An Assignment.

AJi of these gentlemen are excellent speakers, and ones who hold the attention of their audiences from first to last, through the originality of their remarks, combined with the bright- ness of their delivery. War on Sparrows. The English sparrow, or “English nuis- ance,” as he is called by many, is quaking with fear. Ever since his landing on this continent he has been regarded as a use- less creation, and unworthy the trouble of catching. But of late some enterprising westerners have discovered that he makes | an excellent filling for pot-pie, and now the | small boys even this far east are organiz- ing gangs to besiege the feathery emi- Four youngsters, armed with s and air rifles, were seen this morning on the outskirts of town making | war on the former pests, with the inten- tion of making gastronomic disposition of the dead. Railroad Center. The Engineer Commissioner expressed himself yesterday before a delegation of Virginia and Georgetown citizens to the effect that the vicinity of the Aqueduct bridge would, in his opinion, no doubt be- come the center of Georgetown's prospec- tive railroad traffic. Georgetown's Poor. Mr. Jesse H. Wilson, the chairman of the committee having charge of the collecting of subscriptions east of 32d street to the Rock creek, reports that up to date he has collected and turned into the general furd nearly $400 In cash and a great quantity of miscellaneous articles needful to the poor. Mr. Boteler of the western district of Georgetown has been almost similarly suc- cessful. From the general depot George- town’s poor have been provided with their share of contributions. The various aid so- cieties connected with the church, together with Secretary Davis’ charitable organiza- tion, are all busily engaged, too, in the good cause. Short Notes.

A very large audience filled Metzerott Music Hall last evening, drawn there by the } fact that James J. Corbett, the champion | pugilist of the world, would spar two three- | round bouts and also illustrate his method of training for a fight. It was also i nounced that there would be a number of | interesting sparring contests between ac-| complished amateurs, but with the excep- | tion of a three-round go between Joe Bate- | man, the ciever light weight of this city, and James Delaney of New York, these alleged | sparring contests were simply farcical, and , in two or three instances Manager Brady was compelled by the hisses and sarcastic remarks of the crowd to hustle the so- | called boxers off the stage before the three | short rounds were finished. The audience | was a truly representative one, members of Congress, of the diplomatic corps, club members, solid business men, lawyers and physicians, horsemen and sports of ail con- ditions, from the diamond-arrayed down to the blear-eyed bar-room lounger, all going to make up one of the largest throngs ever before seen in the hall. A number of wo- men, probably eight or ten, were also seen in the boxes and on the floor. Tre first part of the entertainment con- sisted of sparring contests, in which a nun ber of alleged boxers from Baltimore temptedto kill time before the appearance of the world-beater. It was, judging from their | feeble and ludicrous movements, about the only thing they were capable of killing with gloves, and the crowd accordingiy guyed them unmercifully, in several instances ery ing out to Brady to take them off the stage. Of course, the bout between Bateman and Delaney was a notable exception, and the two men put up a very clever aad enjoyable exhibition of sparring, in which the rare good work of the local man showed to de- cided advantage. Following these bouts came a number of selections by the Tuxedo Mandolin Club, which were much enjoyed. Then Manager Brady introduced first the trainer ef Corbett, John Donaldson, end then the champion himself, for a three- round sparring bout. Corbett, arrayed in a shirt, full white trunks and h of the national r ived with a The applause minutes, and the et ct storm i for of apr several mpion at length stepped to the front of bashful manner, and in 3 ge while good-natured boy in smiles, jd: **Lag » I} thank you a ry much for this very kind reception.

Albaugh’s.—“Boys will be boys”—but not all the time. Some of them will be girls, and nice girls, too. The appearance of a stage of Albaugh's Grand Opera House | last night called forth an audience which ; from the first chords of the overture left | no room for doubt as to the success of the | entertainment as a social and philanthropic ; occasion, And when the curtain lifted and disclosed an immense array of burlesque talent, from premiere danseuse and prima donna to coryphee and chorus girl, the au- | diende settled itself down to be genuinely amused. The performance was brimming | over with good ideas, and it was evident that neither time nor expense had been | spared in the effort to work them out for | all they were worth. The center of the spectacular glories was the author of both the words and music of the piece, Mr. Al- fred Baldwin Sloane. His plot possesses genuine originality and affords abundant latitude for the introduction of dances and marches, which form so important an ele- ment in burlesque entertainment. “Mus- | tapha,” the character who gives the pro- | duction its title, is a jovial, though eccen- |} tric, monarch, who gets tangled up in, Américan ideas and who carries himself | {n a humorous fashion through a variety | of complications. His adventures are conceived in the true spirit of burlesque and they are portrayed in a manner which shows intelligent per- | ception, careful training and unlimited | artistic zeal on the part of the young men, who appear. The make-ups were partic- ularly good. The young men disguised | themselves completely in the cases where the role was a feminine one and the ab- surdity of love making between two people of the same gender was almost lost in the illusion. Good things from other sources were rot despised. Mr. Frank J. Taylor rendered selections from Cavalleria Rusticana in a very able manner. Mr. T. R. Jenkins, Jjr., sang an original Chinese song (and it would | be a most glaring absurdity to accuse him of any plagiarism in the words) in a way that brought down the house. Edward Hough did a serpentine dance with airy em- bellishments that Lole Fuller herself might have envied, and the lantern ballet, intro- ducing the whole company, reflected much eredit on Mr. George A. Gardner, who ar- ranged it with a most telling perception as to striking effects. In the second act came the ballet. Young gentlemen in the audi- ence who have the purses and mental equipment which go to make up the “John- nie” sighed pathetically as they realized that the scene before them was not a new world to conquer, but merely a realm of fantastic deception where things were, with peculiar emphasis, not what they seem. The idea for the ballet was a remarkably origi- nal and pretty one. The reigning operatic successes furnished characters and cos- tumes and the people from The Brigands, The Mikado, Pinafore, Wang, Robin Hood and The Red Hussar stepped out upon the stage with graceful steps and mazy figures to delight the eye and swell the exchequer ef the Home for the Incurables. It is in the dancing that the chief excellence of Mustapha lies, although this is no reflection on the brilliancy of its young author. He has concocted a bit of work which may easily make some of the old stagers in burlesque composition look to their laurels. Mr. Harry Bash introduced a Danse qd’ Afrique; pas de duex were executed by Messrs. Bartow, Van Ness and Harry Poor, Randoijph Mordecai and Harry B. Price, A. Baldwin Sloane and S. N. Lehr. Mr. Reese Cassard, the premier assoluta, was in a pas seul as graceful as it is pos- sible for a man in feminine garb to be and these young gentlemen have demonstrated that he can be very graceful indeed. In spite of requests to the contrary on the program the audience resolutely and suc- cessfully demanded encores in a number of cases. Academy.—Wherever Lew Dockstader 1s there is fun, and Lew Dockstader was at the Academy last night. Also with him in close communion a company of minstrels, who knew their business and also the pleas- ure of the audience. This minstre] organi- zation makes a feature of its first part, and the music of it is fine, with Symuads, Hughes, Brydges, Dave Foy, J. ©. Har- rington, Gaiper, Leighton, George Powers and Woods in the parts. The jokes were not all as fresh as they were, say twenty- seven years and six months ago, but they weren't all so old as that, and the audience laughed and howled with glee. Interlocutor Dumont's attention might be called to the word “apothesis,” which he uses several umes. It is “apotheosis,” and is a fine large word when given a fair chance. The tirst part closed with the German Military Band, and it was a marguerite, and no error. Dockstader bossed it. He also did sume recitative of a topical character which con- vulsed the audience. George Powers ut the banjo and banjay, and also as an aesthetic wet, on the end, was great. Memphis ennedy, the musical polyglot, was a fa- vorite in a minute, and “Rastus,” as a dancer and contortionist of grace and finish, carried the house. Taking it by and large, ernized out of all semblance to the mi strel show of the past, and it is especially enjoyable in that. New National Theater. — Lilian Russell, much-married, well-advertised, and still tair to look upon, appeared at the New onal Theater last night in the latest comic mu- sical concoction, ‘Tpe Princess Nicotine.” The success of the “Isle of Champagne” inspired its authors to make another of the luxuries of life a theme for humorous com- position, and tobacco has as a burletta theme proved a not unworthy successor to wine. The strength of the supporting com- pany is exceptional. Perugini is a thorough artist. Digby Bell is an old favorite whom it is rather remarkable in Washington to see playing a subordinate part, but he plays it well. A large audience was on hand te greet the players last night and it is quite evident that the reign of the airy fairy Lil- ian ts by no means at an end. The Grand Spectacle “America.” — The magnificent, historical, allegorical and bril- liant spectacle “America” was one of the great attractions of the world’s fair. The gorgeous manner in which it is to be placed on the stage of Albaugh’s Opera House next week .will win the same indorsement and tokens of appreciation. It is confined to no particular form of entertainment, as it is a happy blending of music, song and ds set in brilliant scenes and splendidly ranged tableaux. It is difficult co realize | that hundreds of people can be maa ed on the stage, but it should be remem»e-- ed that the stage of Albaugh’s is one of the | largest in the country. The engagement is for one week, beginning Monday, March 5, | with Wedn es Regular prices will prevail. i Haris’ Bijou Theater.—That stirring odrama, The Police Patrol, opened a week's engagement at Harris’ last night to a crowded house.
