Sere een ASSOCIATED CYCLING CLUBS. The New Organizat to Secure a Common Racing Track. The organization known as the Associated Cyeling Clubs of the District has long been | the talk of cyclists, and although it was" started some time ago, it has only recently week the different clubs organized, elected officers, appointed two important commit- tees and are now ready to go to work. ‘The new organization is composed of all| the leading bicycle clubs of the city, and has been formed for the purpose of further: ing bicycling interests in general and un. dertaking enterprises which will beneiit the wheeimen of Washington at large. By Joining together it has been thought that undertakings might be shouldered by the organization as a whole which would be be- yond any single club. The most important of these is a bicycle track, and within a day or so now the whereabouts of this track and all the arrangements in connection with | it will be known. | At the last meeting, when the organiza. tion was formed, a committee was appoint ed to take the matter of a track in hand. This committee consists of Larcom of the Arlington Wheelmen, chairman; Meegin of Carroll Institute and Jose of the Washing- | ton Road Club. This committee has opened | the various bids that have been submitted and will report to the Associated Cycling Clubs at the next meeting. A committee on fmeorporation was also appointed, and is expected to report then also. The officers of the Associated Cycling Clubs are: President, Bennett of the Wash- ington Road Club; vice president, Ed Clapp of the Arlington Wheeimen; treasurer, Lar- com of the Arlington Wheelmen, and secre- tary, George Cook of the Georgetown Cycle Club. —_— a Big Snake. Some excitement was caused in the gar- | dens of the oid Van Ness mansion at the | foot of 17th street by the appearance of a large moccasin snake which had evidently | $ust awakened from a winter's torpor and ‘Was crawling around in search of food. A Iran who saw it first became very much alarmed, and called out for help, saying that the reptile had attacked him and that | he had had a narrow escape from being bitten. The snake was killed with clubs and stones, and w found, on ment, to be thirty It was of the t-head variety, most dangerous customer to be at large. ———_—_ Building Activity Again Resamed. The most significant symptoms of the re- vival of building activity are ihe large con- signments of building material that are be- ing receivel daily by local dealers. The largest consignment of polished plate win- dow glass ever received in this city arrived last Friday. The entire shipment was bilied at 30,000 pounds, or fifteen tons, and among the lot was some of the largest p ufactured.

OFFICERS AND MEN DECORATED An Enjoyable Time at the Second Regiment Armory. AN OCCASION OF INTEREST The second regiment and its regiment of friends turned out in force last evening, the eccasion being the annual presentation of marksmen’s buttons and sharpshooters’ \erosses to the officers and men who have won such decorations by earnest work with the rifle during the past year. Owing to the size of the Center Market @rill hall it was necessary tc form each battalion in close column of compante: When this was done, shortly after 8 o'clock, such a large number of spectators were in | attendance that it was necessary to detail a@ squad of guardsmen to keep them from crowding upon the flanks of the regiment. Those companies possessing full dress reg- ulation uniforms wore that attire, and, with thirty-eight members of the Mount Pleasant Trumpet, Fife and Drum Corps, clad in zouave costume’ of bright red and dark biue, the scene was a brilliant one. Each battalion was successively brought to a parade rest, and then, in obedience to the command “sound off from Adjutant Moore, the young musicians passed up and down the hall before the regiment. The Col. Clay, who put it through the manual of arms. “Publish the orders” the colonel di- rected, and the adjutant read as follow HEADQUARTERS SECOND REGIMENT, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Le GUARD, WASHINGTON, Db. C., April 12, 1894. Orders No. 8: The second regiment during the year 1803 sustained its reputation for rifle shooting. The report of the inspector general of rifle practice discloses the fact that in the total of 122 sharpshooters and 2 marksmen fn the brigade the second reg- {ment furnished 61 sharpshooters and marksmen. In other words, while the rezi ment contains only abcut 40 per cent of the strength of the briga: it furnished more than 50 per ¢ent of if$ sharpshooters and marksmen. While this is creditadle, it is only what was expected, and not as much as is ex- pected the present yexr. Let every officer and man make it a point, so far as it lies in his power, to see that every member of the yegiment fires his official scores. The result will be such a record as will sur- prise even those who expect the second to be always first. By order of Col. Cecil Clay. WILLIAM H. MOYER, Captain and adjutant. Orders No. 9: The regimental commander takes this occasion to commend in the bightest terms the officers and men of the fourth battalion who, on being called out en the 20th of March last, for rapid as- sembly, without the slightest intimation of such a call being contemplated and without any previous notification, turned out 63 per cent of the aggregate numerical strength of the battalion. This action is not commended as _zome- thing unusual, unexpected or extraordinary. The regimental commander takes it for granted that in rapid assembly, as in every other military duty, including actual active service, the second regiment will be found doing its duty without effort, as a simple matter of course, and assumes that in every military duty the officers and men are so instructed and have their respective parts so well understood, as is shown in their as- sembly and rifle firing, that to direct per- formance is to secure execution and erecu- tion is worthy of commendation as the in- stance which suggested this orter. What can be done by a part can be‘done by the whole, and, therefore, the regiment is to be cong’ atulated: By order of Col. Cecil Clay. WILLIAM H. MOYER, Captain and Aujutant. Dress parade was then concluded, accord- ing to tactics, and the men entitled to the badges, a complete list of whom has here- tofore been published in The Star, were marched to the front and center as their respective companies were called in alpha- betical order. The colonel took occasion to remark that company A, fifth battalion, is excused from rifle practice, as it is the vet- era organization of the brigade. “They are supposed to know all about it," he said. they are supposed to have been through it and some of it has probably been through some of them.” As the last man resumed his position in line, Maj. George H. Harries, inspector gen- eral of rifle practice, stepped to the front and announced that at the opening of the season, headquarters had offered a gold medal to the officer making the hest of- ficial aggregate in the brigade. The medal was then pinned on the colonel’s blouse, he being the winner, Col. Clay responded to the effect that if, with but one arm, he could set an example for the men under him that would result in good work, he would be perfectly happy in succeeding years without a medal. The ceremony of dress parade was again gone through with for the benefit of the pectators, after which the command was marched to the vicinity of the Arno Hotel and back to the armory, the drum corps leading the way. Gen. Ordway was one of the Interested on-lookers. et Army Orders. A board of officers is appointed to meet at St. Paul, Minn., for the examination of efficers for promotion. The detail for the board is: Col. Charles C. Byrne, assistant surgeon general; Maj. John V. Furey, quar- termaster; Maj. Wirt Davis, fifth cavalry; Capt. John J. Clague, commissary of sub- sistence; Capt. Charles F. Mason, assistant surgeon; First Lieut. William E. P. French, third infantry, recorder. . Capt. Joshua W.

The splendid scenic tableaux, beautiful ballets and dazzling marches; the glittering grotto of the fairy queen Stalacta, With its flash- ing ballet of gems; the illuminated golden terrace of the Castle of Wolfensteia, with the dancing lights shimmering from the silver panoply of the Amazons, and the crowning transformation scene, are as su- perb as anything ever beheld upon the spec- The dramatic interest is made more apparent than usual.

Mr. De Guerville’s Lecture.—The lecture, at Metzerott's Hall, Tuesday evening by Mr. A. B. De Guerville on the courts of Japan, Corea and China promises to afford a literary and artistic treat of a high order. Mr. De Guerville is thoroughly in touch with the subject on which he proposes to lecture, and his collection of photographs and views has been pronounced among the most complete and artistic in existence. He was one of the world’s fair commissioners at large, and it was greatly due to his ef- forts that the exhibits of Corea and Japan, which created so much favorable comment at the Chieago fair, were sent to this coun- try. Especially were his efforts successful in Interesting the queen and ladies of the court at Japan in the big American exposi- tion. Mr. De Guerville is a Frenchman by birth, but has lived many years in this country, and is thoroughly imbued with Americanism. His lecture is said to be both amusing and instructive. The Marteau Concert—The advance sale for Henri Marteau indicates that he will have a large audience to greet his first appearance before the Washington musical public on Wednesday evening, April 18, at Metzerott Music Hall. Marteau is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, violinist that has visited this country since Wieniawski. His playing is clean, free from trickery, and of superb tone. He brings! vith him Rosa Linde, the American con- tralto, and Annie Lachaume, the French A Depreciated Coin, “Isn't the Mexican dollar a depreciated | coin? “Li has a few cents’ worth more of in- | trinsic coin value, so called, than our ewn | silver doliar, On the border between Mexico jand the United States, and in both coun- | tries, for exchange, it is worth now only about forty-eight cents.
