The feature of the game was a circus catch in Geep center field by Tebeau of a long hit from Selbach’s bat, and the pitching of Maul, who remained cool and collected at critical me ts. Hassamaear played sec- ond base acceptably, and also knocked out a three-base hit. The score by innings was: R. H. E. Picked nine....1 10 10 2 3 0-8 lv Regulars........0 00111014 7 Base Ball Notes. It was a case of out-pitching the pitcher, Maul showing up the better, although Petty did well. Both sides fielded well.

The armory of the National Rifles was a Scene last evening no: soon to be forgotten by the 600 or more local Mystic Shriners and their guests, who gathered to welcome and pay homage to Imperial Potentate Thoras J. Hudson of Pittsburg, Pa, There Was an elaborate repest served after the initiation of forty members, about 11 o'clock, and then the rest of the evening was enjoyed as only the Shriners can enjoy the good things of life, music and recita- tions and speeches being as plentiful as they were fetching. It was announced that the occasion was a celebration of Eed el Fitr, a breaking of the fast of Ramadan, and the following dele- gations participated: Mecca Temple, New York city, thirty-five | Robles; Acca Temple of Richmond, twenty- five nobl Al Temple of Boston, ten nobles; Boumi ‘Temple of Baltimore, 140 nobles, and Syria Temple of Pittsburg, twenty-five nobles ‘rhe District Shriners met their visiting brothers at the depots, and headed by the Mt. Pieasant Juveniie Drum Corps, march- ed them to the armory, where, after the secret initiation ceremonies had been per- | formed, Mr. Harrison Dingman presided at the 1 formal celebration. Seven great tables w loaded down with the good | things in season, and every seat was, it is | hardiy necessary to say, occupied. Mr. Dingman had at his right hand the guest of honor, Imperial Potentate Thomas J. Hudson, and on his left, George W. potentate of Boumt Temple from Baltimore. Seated near him were George H. Walker, and custodian of the potentate’s of the recorder ; James McGee of New York city, Geo. - Pratt, F. G. Alexander, Louis P. Echer of Richmond, George L. Street, potentate of the temple at Richmond; William Nickum of Baltimore, Representatives K. Beil of Texas and Seth W. Cobb of Mi sourl, who were initiated into the degree; J.C, Burrows of Michigan, A. G. Caruth of Kentucky, F. H. Thomas of Michigan, United States Treasurer Morgan, and S. S. Yoder, The Speeches, Noble Dingman introduced the guest of the occasion, Imperial Potentate Hudson, who briefly returned his thanks for the honors paid him, and complimented the local Shriners upon their work. Mr. Sam- uel U. Trent foilowed him in a few words, and then Mr. Dingman read a parody en- titled “The Daughters of the Nile,” full of witty hits, which was much applauded. AMUSEMENTS. | Albaugh’s.—It is said that the gentleman who, in the neighborhood of a quarter of a century since, wrote “The Black Crook” was a deeply disappointed man when he saw it staged. The story of Dr. Fausius has served as material for a great deal of | iterary and dramatic work. This ai intended that it should have a lofty n sion; that it shouid be a legitimate en tainment, with possibly a certain ailegori- cai reminder for the beaent of human mor- ais generally.

Occasionally bits of the original plot come to light, but they are unimport- ant. Their sole function, oubv y, is to give enough suggestion of the supernatural to stimulate the imagination of the audi- fence, and the ballet master does the rest.

When all were seat- ed, Messrs. Scherer and Betts of the Capi- tal City View Co., with their camera, took a view of the scene by flash light within the beautiful lodge room. Mr. C. G.

Union Lodge, No. 11, paid a fraternal visit during the exercises of the evening, which was greatly appreciated by old Harmony Lodge members. At the conclusion of the concert remarks were made by Chester R. Faulkner and the Grand Master, after which the closing ode was sung and the benediction pronounced by Rev.

OCEAN RACE POSSIBLE. Vigilant and Vaikyrie May Cross the Atlantic Together. ‘The sale of the Vigilant to James Gordon Bennett has caused a flutter of excitement and interest In yachting circles not unlike that aroused by the international races ef the Vigilant and Valkyrie last year. This was so because of Mr. Bennett's purpose to pit the peerless cup de- against the Hritannia, the Satantta and mayhap the Valkyrie again in English waters. But this great Interest was not aroused alone on account of the expectancy of more international races this year, but because of the possibility which presented itself of an_ocean race.
