Although the recent heavy rain caused considerable damage at the base ball grounds everything will be in the best possible con- | Umpire McQuaid orders the players to be-! gin work. A force of men have been hard. at work all day hauling dirt and spreading) it with rake and roller, and a score of paint-| ers are improving the looks of the front of) the grand stand. Small roofs, projecting from the front of! the grand stand, have been built as a cover for the players’ benches. Ostensibly the purpose of these is to protect the men from the sun,but in reality they were constructed | to prevent occupants of the stand indulging in conversation with the members of the teams or from overhearing the remarks of the latter. With a big tally-ho and a brass band in the lead, the entire club started from the grounds in open carriages this afternoon) for a parade through the principal streets. The “vets’’ wore the red sweaters, while the | “kids” were attired in the jockey uniform The turnout at-/ tracted a great deal of attention. Manager Schmelz has introduced an in- novation in the way of an entrance of the players to the field. Promptly at 4 o'clock he will sound the big gong and the “Kids” will appear in sirgie file. As the bell sounds a second time they face down the field and march, squad front, to the home plate, halt, face about and salute the spe tators. Fifteen minutes later the “Vets repeat the prcgram, and promptly at 4:30 the game will start. Owing to the non-arrival of McMahon, Kinslow will play first place fur the “Vets.” Joe Strasburger, who secured the score card p-ivilege, has offered to present a box of cigars to h member of the team win- ning the opening series.

The number of weddings this spring” {: not reassuring to those who had com menced to think that Washington wa: jooking up a little in that direction. Neithe: {| are the annquncements with which the pub- lic have been favored sufficiently numerous or startling to create anything Ike a sur- prise. There are known to be several en- gagements hanging fire that will certainly eventuate in matrimony with the most fashionable trimmings, but for some unex- piained reason the princtpals in these af- fairs seem very shy of admitting the soft impeachment.

The nearest we will get to it is the home coming of the bride and groom, and the little round of festivities in their honor that is bound to As society will soon commence to scatter, the newly wedded couple will have quieter time of it than at any other time of the year. While not strictly beautiful, the coming ambassadress has an expression which gives her a sympathetic and altract- ve face, and every one is most enthusiastic over her many accomplishments. Sir Julian Pauncefote and Prince Cantacugene Will be witnesses for M. Patenotre. The wedding trip, like all such affairs, is not announced, but the presumption 1s will be down to some lovely spot in the south.

All the bachelors in the @iplomatic corps were photographed one fine day recently down in the Botanical Gardens, but share the honors in the group with several young matrons and young ladies with whom they are particular favorites. The picture will be well worth preservation, and it is safe to say every member of the group will have a copy. A year from now It will be tnter- esting to look at again, and see the inroadk matrimony may have made among the list ble bachelor diplomats. Mrs. Brice has made a move in a right di- rection when she gives an early party. The |reason that such a large dinner precedes her cotillion next Wednesday night is be- cause she thinks it much better than a late supper. The cotillion will begin imm: diately after dinner, not long after 9, and | will be all over by 1’ o'clock.

Therefore, for the first time it will cease to ‘old that relation to the social world of Washington after next Tuesday. After a honeymvon passed in the sunny south there will follow at the French embassy and in the diplomatic corps, and during Washington's spring season, a round of brilliant social festivities. The wedding in Philadelphia will be very quiet. The wedding presents are also rare and costly, consisting of diamonds, pearls, plate and other articles.
