The list of entertainments grows lons er every day, and now includes balls at th homes of Mr. and Mrs. 8. 8. Howland, ex Gov. and Mrs. Carroll, Senator and Mrs Brice and Mrs. McLanahan, with dinners and small dances innumerable. None of the balls are to be very large, which will make them all the more delightful.

The Carroll ball, which is in honor of Miss Aileen O'Donnell and Miss Cavendish Taylor of London, will not Include fifty couples all told, as their house fs not big enough for a larger company. ‘The past week was rather gay with din- ners and theater parties, with a few lun? eons to break the monotony of midday. Between the lectures and the charity enter- tainments, no one who pretends to keep up with the list has found an idie moment. Charity plays a large part in the after- Easter gatherings also.

The marriage of Miss Eleanor Louise Elverson to Monsieur Jules Patenotre, the French ambassador, will take place at the residence of her parents, in Philadelphia, one week from next Tuesday. The bride-elect with her parents, {s now passing the last days of her maiden life at Mr. Elverson’s home in this city. Quiet dinners, quiet vis- its, quiet exchanges of becoming courtesies among intimate friends have been the order of the day since last Monday. Phe picturesque hills of Georgetown were the seats of fine landed estates long years ago. In 1873 Mr. James Elverson, the wealthy newspaper publisher of Phila lel- phia, bought the property, now his home. In 1880 the wooden plantation house, with {ts spacious verandas, was burned to (he ground. For four years the site of the historic old structure remained a somewhat picturesque ruin, The wild vine began to creep among its chimney walls and charred timbers, and in its lofty seat it looked like a castle of old, which had had its day of festive scenes ‘and famous events. In 1884, however, “Clitton,” for that was the name of this particular portion of the ancient manor, was destined to have a new lease of life. "In that year Mr. Elverson | determined to erect upon the commanding site a new residence. Clifton.

As far as Farrell and McMahon are concerned, ihe former can catch and throw al! around the latter. Farrell's head work will be missed as soon as McMahon puts a mask on. 3 is a fine fellow personally, and a natural | hitter, but he never was in {t with Farrell at any stage of the game. Just wait until Miller sees Mac run the bases, and then | hear him holier for a razor! Petty was s0 | fat last year that he had to use a shoe horn to open his eyes in the morning. He had a round-arm, old-fashioned Micky Welsh delivery, with a rainbow outeurve that could be'piped off by the batsman the moment it left his hand. He couldn't master the vver- hand delivery, used so effectively by Rusie, | Nichols and other star le: pitchers, ind 8 for his head work, he never was known | to have any. Good judges say Meckin is a | most promising pitcher, and that’s satis- Anythi faction to us. is good - with Petty. ~~ cnameas The Sporting Life says, in correcting a current item of local interest: An item, is going the rounds to the effect that Charl: Farrell wants too much money from Ne York, hence the failure to sign him. is not true. Farrell is not trying to squ the New York Club, but simply wants as much as Washington paid him. His con- tracts there called for $2,600, and he re- ceived $500 extra for catching the bulk of the games. He would have received the same salary and bonus this year at Wash- ington had not his release been sold to | New York. | ,Jouett Meekin, the pitcher, writes to the Life as follows: “In your paper of March 3 you publish a W; letter signed ashington T. K. Miller, in which I am. charged els’ with falling to answer letters. I this is not so. I every letter I received from him, will not deny it. Mr. Miller also playing was not such as to earn salary paid me. If such was the fact why Mr. Wagner ask $7,500 for the release of Far- rell and myself, and why did » York pay the same? “Again he says I took advantage ‘of the publication in the papers of the negotiations between the New York and Washington clubs. He is wrong again; the New York Club has signed me to play for the same salary that I had notified Mr. Sehmelz he would have to pay me to play in Washing- top, and the same amount I had signed to with Cincinnati two years ago, before war compelied to play for much less mon- = with Washington by order of Nick ‘oung.’ nn BO POTOMAC NAVY. The Columbins Refuse to Combine With Other Clubs. ‘The much-talked-of and long-looked-for Potomac river navy is not to be. Its death- blow was struck at the meeting of the board of governors of the Columbia Athiet- ic Club when they decided not to enter the Proposed scheme. It would not be worth while and would not pay the other two clubs interested in the plan, the Potomacs and Analostans, to go ahead with the ven- ture, as three ¢lubs would have been none too large to support the navy, anyhow. The Columbia Club gives as its reasen for not going into the arrangement the urgu- ment that it being the stroacer and the other two clubs the weaker, they would unite against it on every measure. On any point where they might gain a slicht ad- vantage they say that the other clubs would immediately combine to defeat them, as they claim has been done at any river meetings in the past. The other oarsmen and persons interested im the development of rowing on the river, lowever, are very sorry to see the plan, ich promised so well, abanion:1. When r. John Hadley Doyle, the captain of thi Potomacs, was told of the action which thi Columbia Club had taken, he said that he was more sorry than surprised, as he bad feared as much from what hal beén suid during the past weék or so. The purpose of the scheme had been, he said, to osier row- ing and work for the best interssts of the sport in Washington. There was n> thought of any combinations by any one against any one. Neither the Potomacs nor the Analostans had wished to grab up all the Offices nor to boss matters. Club rivalry would have been Jaid aside so far as it in- terfered with matters of general tmport- ance, and everything would have been done by the two smaller clubs to further unity and to build up the rowing element of the city. In regard to the assertion that the Potomacs and Analostans had ever joined together to down the Columbias, or com: bined against them, he was outspoken in vigorous denial of the charge. “It is a base calumny against both the Potomacs and Analostans,” he said, “to prefer such a charge, and cannot be borne out by the facts. It is a pity that the Columbias have taken such an action, as it Is a blow to the general rowing interests of the city.” Capt. Doyle yesterday received a tele- gram from John Fitzpatrick, the trainer of the Potomacs, who is at Troy to buy the club's new shell from the Waters Company, saying that the deal had been made and that he would be back on Sunday, omit llimetente Some Surprises the Play Last Night. The first surprises of the Libby cup tour- mament, now in progress at the rooms of the Washington Chess Club, occurred in the games contested Thursday night. It happened that Messrs. Wright, O'Farrell and Hanna, the three players who up to this time have held the lead, were all play- ing. Capt. O'Farrell, the president of the club, and not only a veteran, but a most skillful and masterly player, lost to Mr, Usina, whose conduct of his games in this tournament has been admirable. Mr, Walker of the Y. M. C. A. defeated Mr. Wright, closing a brilliant battle by @ middle-board mate on the thirty-ifth move, The score now stands: Won.
