Last evening an echo of the world’s fair resounded through Metzerott Hall, when the ladies interested in the Homeopathic Dispet sary and the Emergency Hospital gave their Midway Plaisance for the benefit of those institutions. The hall was elaborately decorated for the occasion, and in each of the four cor- ners were booths, representing respectively America, Frarce, Japan and Turkey, in which were ladies in costume dispensing refreshments peculiar to these countries. A grand Midway procession, headed by & company of High School Cadets as Co- jumbian guards, issued from a door at the side and wound round the hall. In it all the familiar characters of the Plaisance were represented, from Lady Aberdeen’s Trish villagers to the keeper of the ostrich farms and his pets. The program which followed was unique. The main features were native dances and national songs. The second act introduced the Irish village and the “Wearing of the Green,” and the Irish jigs were heartily ap- plauded. “Old Vienna,” with all its at- tractions faithfully reproduced, next claim- ed attention, and the entertainment closed with a grand ensemble and chorus. A Promenade concert followed. aux Perform.

Miss AtLee sang “For All Eternity,” with violin obligato by Mr. Amiss.

David E. Haller yesterday afternoon re- @overed a judgment of $3,000 against the District of Columbia in Circuit Court No. 2.

Mr. Lamar’s canal claim bili was yester- day reported favorably upon, with the amendments, by the ways and means com- mittee of Maryland. Through these amend- ments the state waives all liens of the State upon all the property and revenues of the canal to the extent of the amount of those labor claims which accrued from 1877 to 1890. The amendments also au- thorize all claimants, upon the filing of certain proofs of their claims, to go before the proper courts and secure certificates of validity, which shall be filed or recorded, and act and operate as judgments. Colored Conference. On Tuesday evening next the Rey. Henry Carroll, pastor, assisted by the ladies of Mt. Zion Church, will hold a reception in honor of the visiting ministers and dele- gates to the Washington annual confer- ence, which will convene on the following day at Mt. Zion. Over 200 will be received. This will be the first colored conference that has convened in Georgetown for a great many years, and the occasion is be- ing prepared for with unusual interest. Bishop Hurst will be the presiding elder, and the sessions will be made interesting through the addresses of the brainiest col- ored ministers of the Washington district. Another Trunk Line. By a vote of twenty-one to nine the Rich- mond and Manassas bill was yesterday engrossed in the Virginia senate. Both Mr. Mushbach and Mr. Little opposed its pass- age strenuously, the former on the ground that it was a scheme to enable the people at the back of the proposed new line to be- come purchasers of the state's interest in the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potoinac road and that the Richmond and Manassas would, in fact, never be built; and the lat- ter, who is of Fredericksburg,said the passage of the bill would destroy the commerce of Fredericksburg. When this road is built it will give another trunk line to the south from the District by way of the Metropol- itan Southern branch of the Baltimore and Ohio, which is now being constructed. The building force is at present centered In the vicinity of the Chain bridge, where a tunnel is being dug from a point about three- quarters of a mile up Pimmet Run to a point opposite High Island, west of the Crore bridge, and just outside of the Dis- Central Mission. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday -of each week interesting services are held in the Central Union Mission's Georgetown branch, which has been estab- lished at 3012 M street. The meetings are increasing in interest and the workers in the branch are looking for grand results. On Thursday evening, March 8, there will be held, under the auspices of this branch, a grand mission rally at Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church, preparatory to the spring campaign of indoor and outdoor work. There is in connection with this branch a free medical dispensary, where at certain hours of the day a competent physician is in attendance. Real Estate. W. E. Edmonston and C. H. Williamson, trustees, have sold to the United Security Life Insurance and Trust Company parts of lots 7 and 8 in old Georgetown, and lot 16, Corcoran’s sub. This property is situated on the west side of 3ist street, opposite the post office, and improved by a small frame cottage. The consideration was $5,000, Fine Beef. ‘Thirty-six magnificent long-haired, horn- less cattle, being representatives of a new breed, known as the Pold Agnus, from the country west of Chicago, passed through town yesterday on their way to one of the butchers of Montgomery county. The cattle make the finest of beef, but are said to be {no good for dairy purposes. Humored Deal. It ts said that the Metropolitan Railroad Company are considering the question of connecting their line with the various sub- urban electric ones about Georgetown, and that as soon as the existing question of in- troducing a new power on their road is settled application will be made at once for the necessary permission. The project- ed electric lines will also be considered in | the application of the company. Notes. At a meeting of the Christ Church Chap- ter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew last evening final arrangements for the special services to be held during the month of March under the auspices of the chapter were made. Mr. C. C. Sailer, superintendent of the Washington and Georgetown railroad, while coming down the steps leaving his home this morning, fell and broke his leg. It was set by Dr. Ritchie. Mr. James F. Fowler of Tenleytown died yesterday after an illness of eight days. The funeral will take place from St. Anne’s Church tomorrow morning. SHIELD OF HONOR. The Grand Lodge in Session at Balti- more. ‘The sessions of the Grand Lodge of Mary- land and the District of Columbia, Shield of Honor, were continued yesterday in Bal- | timore. The lodge passed a resolution au- thorizing the appointment by the grand | master of a committee of five members of the Grand Lodge and one from each lodge in Baltimore to purchase a building for headquarters of the order. It was decided to hold the next annual meeting of the Grand Lodge in Washington. Grand officers to be elected at the next annual meeting were nominated, as follows: Lewis Reitz, master; Frederick Megennardf, Hiram J. Smith, Thomas M. Vansant, C'on- | trad Ross, George W. Pyle, Michael Baer, | junior master; William J. Cunningham, | George W. Curtis, secretary; W. . H. Sultzer, treasurer; H. C. Pabst, Wm. E. Davis, E. W. Carre, C. A. Burton, George P. Bowerman, D. P.

L. | Hoffenbeit, finance committee; Joseph Dunn, | Harry C. Smith, Chas. H. Sinclair, Dr. | George S. Silijacks, representatives to the Supreme Lodge; Charles F. Harrison, R. W. | Arnold and John F.

At length the | Commissioners have been put to the neces- sity of investigating the matter and the chief of police has been requested to make a report upon the case. It has been claim- ed that these organ grinders when ordered eway from a residence peremptorily re- fuse to stir, claiming they have a license to be there. This is incorrect. They op- erate under a permit issued by the chief of police, which is revocable at pleasure. Bill in Equity. A bill in equity has been filed by Daniel Breed, praying that Martin V.

Men of muscle, wrestlers with sinews like steel, and boxers with arms like trip hammers, together with a large crowd of onlookers, filled the room at 417 7th str-et northwest last night, at the first exhibition of the Canterbury Athletic Club. The first thing on deck was a friendly sparring bout of three rounds between Langley and Oppenheimer, both of the Canterbury Club, at 160 pounds, in which no decision was given. Both men showed | up in superb style, however, and were fol- | lowed by a bout between Reed of the Can- | terburys and Green of the American Ath- letic Club, four rounds in length. The con- test was a good one, and in some places a warm one, and was awarded to Green by the referee. Charles Bray of the Canter- burys, weight 143 pounds, and Ed. Hughes of the American Athietic Club, then had a@ set-to, which was just beginning to get entertaining when Hughes called a halt, | and in a much applauded speech announced that he had got one on the arm which had lamed him, and he would have to throw up the sponge. He frankly acknowledged his opponent's superiority, however. As Irving did not appear, Flaherty and Bray, both Canterbury boys, then donned the gloves and began to maul each other. This Was one of the best events of the evening. Bray showed himself to be a hard hitte! |to put it gently, but Flaherty showed | wonderful lot of pluck and stood the pun- |ishment of his adversary like a Trojan. Bray had things pretty much his own way | until the fourth and last round, when they | both sailed in for all they were worth and | began to make the feathers fly, as they laid it on to one another. The umpire was loth to give a decision, but stated it to be his opinion that Bray was the best man. Wrestling was the next item on the bill of fare, and Ray of the Canterbury Club and Raeglan of the Americans had a good bout, but neither got a fall, and so there was no decision. And then what proved to | be the star feature of the show was begun. It was a friendly sparring bout between the plucky little Italian newsboy, “Salvi,” and Joe Lloyd, a youthful colored boy of about the same size. Both boys were hot favor- ites with the crowd, and when they opened up shop by jumping into each other and slamming right and left with more regard to getting there than science the crowd got wild and whooped like members of the successful political party on election night. Being a friendly bout no decision was given, and the sympathies of the crowd were about six to one and half a dozen to the other. After this came a wrestling bout between Reese and Bowte, in which Reese gained a fall in nine and one-half minutes, and another bout between Lusky of the Canter- burys and Taylor, which was won by Tay- jor, and then the show was over. Mr. Roache of the Young Men’s Catholic Club acted as referee during the evening, and Mr. Derome as timekeeper. Mr. E. Schnetder, the enterprising president of the Canterbury Club, was the master of cere- monies. ———__ AMUSEMENTS. Sousa’s Band Concert.—Mr. John Philip Sousa, whose popularity in this city is very great, will give a band concert at the New National Theater next Sunday even- ing. When Sousa and his band were last here they met with great success, and there is no doubt that « crowded house will greet him next Sunday. Since his last visit here Mr. Sousa and his band have had a series of the most brilliant engagements, and their stop here is on the way to San Francisz where they go to play at the midwinter ex- Position. Mr. Sousa is taking the place as a band leader that the death of Mr. Gi!more made vacant, and he has made his mark by catering to the popular taste. He does not pose as an educator of public taste, but as a purveyor to the public desire. His pro- grams contain many selections from the best masters, and yet there is much that is light and pleasant to relieve the more heavy numbers, so that every class of musical taste Is satisfied. The soloist will be Miss Mecusker, a soprano, who is said to possess an excellent voice and to sing well. The C. C. Course.—Tonight Mr. James Whitcomb Riley and Mr. Douglass Sherley will read at Metzerott’s Hall, the entertain- ment being one of the C. C. Course. No author-reader is more popular in this city than Mr. Riley, for he brings more power and pathos out of his own verses than can be produced by any professional reader. Mr. Douglass Sherley is a young Kentucky author who has met with success wherever he has appeared upon the platform. Emil Liebling.—Mr. Emil Liebling, pianist, will give a complimentary concert at Metz- erott’s Hall on Saturday evening, through the courtesy of the W. W. Kimball Com- pany. He is said to be a player of great ability and a thorough musician. He has met with decided success elsewhere and his admirers are confident that the verdict of Washington musicians will be in his favor. The audience will be a critical one, as invitations have been sent discriminatingly. America.—On Monday night of next week will be presented at Albaugh’s Opera House the gorgeous and wonderful spectacle, “America,” which the American people crowded at Chicago during the world’s fair and traveled critics have pronounced to be the greatest stage spectacle the world has ever seen. This: is the marvelous show piece which cost Messrs. Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau $150,000 to place on the stage, which drew 1,250,000 people to the Chicago Audi- torium, and has the phenomenal record of over $1,000,000 in box office receipts. Mr. Imre Kiralfy, the creator of “America,” spent over one year in preparing it, and it is beyond all comparison the masterpiece of this famous dancer and director of big spectacles. It is simply a statement of fact that “America’’ presents scenes of spectacular magnificence in comparison to whose splendor the greatest spectacles of former days pale into insignificance. The most superb scenes, the most gorgeous cos- tumes, the prettiest ballets, the most won- derful pageants ever witnessed in this city will be seen in “America.” The music, com- posed by Angelo Venazzi, ts of a high order, and well-known singers, a large chorus, grand orchestra, and military band, carry out the music portion of “America,” it is said, with grand effect. In “America” the dancing ballet will number one hundred and fifty pretty danseuses, by far the larg- est corps de ballet ever seen in this city. Incidental to the piece many famous spe- cialties are introduced, including the mar- velous Schaffer family, who have already created a sensation wherever seen. Seats can now be secured at the box office. The Howe-Lavin Concert.—The concert to be given at Metzerott Hall tomorrow night promises to be eminently successful finan- cially, as it certainly will be artistically. Mary Howe, the beautiful soprano, who has always been received with such heartiness in thjs city, comes back to this country af- ter two years of hard study abroad, and af- ter a pronounced operatic success in criti- cal Berlin. Her voice is said to be broader and fuller than it was—it could not be purer in tone or sweeter—and has all the remarkable flexibility that was so great a feature of her singing. Her husband, Mr. Wm. Lavin, is remembered as a tenor of more than ordinary excellence, and he, too, has been studying and rounding out his naturally fine voice. Both made a dis- tinct hit in opera abroad, but they are now at the head of their own concert company.

But the Table Loaded With Good American Delicacies, The annual banquet of the Washington Alumni Association of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity was held last evening at Welcker’s, the half hundred members being seated around a table that was beautifully decorated with red, blue and gold and with mysterious symbols that would have been as so much Greek to the uninitiated. It was the eleventh annual reunion of the lo- cal association, and, as usual, was a very pleasant affair. Prior to the dinner there was a business meeting,at which these officers were elected: President, Wilson S. Bissell, Postmaster General, a graduate of the Phi parent chapter at Yale; vice president, Represen- tative J. Frank Aldrich of Chicago, former- ly president of the Northwestern D.K.E. Club; secretary, Dr. Wiliam H. Hawkes; treasurer, Maj. T. B. Kirby; executive com- mittee, Representative Warner of New York, Mr. Robert M. Collins and Mr. O. C. Richardson. Then the company. marched to the dining room, where, behind closed doors, the old-time ritual for beginning the meeting of the fraternity was celebrated. Representative John DeWitt Warner pre- sided and the oldest graduate present, ex- Representative Mark Dunnell of Minnesota, who graduated from Colby University back in 1849, responded to “Our Fraternity,” and provoked great enthusiasm by his com- parisons of the convention at Bowdoin, in "55, and at Minneapolis, in °93, both of which he figured in. There were speeches by Messrs. Roe, Rice, Williams, Joy, Whit- | ney, Lieb, Lapham, Wales, Twombley, Lantz, Hester and Blackford, and between them all were sandwiched the fraternity songs, closing with the doxology, “Halil to Our Brotherhood.” Those Presen Those who were present at the dianer were the Secretary of the Navy, of the Uni- versity of Virginia; Senator Brice, Miam{; Senator Butler, University of North Caroli- na; Senator Dubois, Yale, ‘74; Representa- tive John DeWitt Warner, Cornell, '72; Representative Oscar Lapham, Brown; Rep- resentative James P.

SS ee ARMY MEDICAL SCHOOL. Its First Session Closes With Appro- priate Exercises, Appropriate exercises at the army medi- cal museum yesterday afternoon marked the close of the first session of the army medica! school, recently established in this city by Surgeon General Sternberg. The main purpose of the school is to give @ special course of instruction to accepied candidates for the medical corps of the army, including military duties and field surgery.

Quinton, Thos. 8, Brat- ton, Deane C. Howard, Alex. S, Porter and Wm. H. Wilson. There was a good attendance at the closing session, and the exercises were of an interesting character.
