The rooms of the Washington Chess Club, G12 12th street, were well filled Friday night, the attraction being a novel and interesting exhibition of blindfold play, given by Messrs. Mundelle and McHardy. Checker playing without sight of board cr men is a rare accomplishment, and the number of players in the United States will- ing to undertake a match performance “un- sight unseen” might almost be counted on one’s @ingers. Of the games played last night Mundelle won the first, the second coming out a draw. These games are the first of a match of six. Play will be re- sumed in this contest Thursday evening next at 8 o'clock. All checker players are cordially invited. In the Libbey cup tourney last week Capt. O'Farrell defeated Mr. Wright, in a very brilliant game. The captain’s play through- out was of a high order, and was much ad- mired by the spectators, particularly in view of the skillful defense made by the champion. ‘The players now leading in the Libbey cup contest, with their respective scores, are: Won.

Local Wheelmen Doing Less Riding This Fall Than Usual. Wheelmen are doing less riding this fall than they have done for many years, and with this decrease in riding comes a cor- responding interest in racing, both on the road and track, All this season the local wheelmen have been figuring on races on the road and tracks, and with considerable success.

The regular smoker will oc- cur on the evening of the 24th. Arrange- ments have been made to run a special wire into the gymnasium on election night, so that members of the club may assemble there and receive the latest news at the earliest possible moment, and without the discomfort of mingting wth the large crowds which usually surround the bulle- tin boads down town. Active preparation has already com- menced on the annual exhibition of the club, which, although the exact date has not as yet been settled, will probably occur in the second week in December at Al- baugh’s Opera House. A novelty in the shape of an old-time minstrel show will fill the first part, and with such royal enter- tainers as Charlie Howard, Hub Smith, Joe Cullen and others in black-face specialties the affair is bound to be a go. ‘The second part of the program will give the athletes a chance to show what they can do It is promised that even the won- derful success of last season’s “show” will be eclipsed. Racing Across the River. The largest crowd of the meeting wit- nessed some excellent racing at St. Asaph track Saturday, and as four favorites, a second choice and a well-backed outsider won, the talent had much the best of the gentlemen of the stands. The six winners were: Galilee, 7 to 1; Baroness, 3 to 5; Me- Kee, 9 to 5; Roche, 3 to 5; Golden Gate, even money, and Capt. T., 1 to 2. An unusually large crowd was present at the Alexander Island track Saturday and a feature of the racing was the ruling off of Jockey Leer for pulling Dorcas L. In the first race. But one favorite, Cossack, at 2 to 5, was successful, the other winners all being at long odds. These were: Mark- stone, 6 to 1; Mattie Chun, 30 to 1; Magnet, 40 to 1, and Jeck Wynne, 10 to L. West Point Not to Meet Annapolis. There Is no prospect of a meeting between the foot ball teams of the Military and Naval academies this year, inasmuch as the authorities are not likely to reverse their decision of last year against such games. The question has not come up for action, and the chances are that it will not, for the reason that the cadets have not had the slightest reason to expect the authori- ties to reverse their order of last wh prohibit. the cadets from p foot bail outside the limits of their r ive academies.

One Intends to Enter Some Very Big Suits. The elections throughout the United States will occur one week from tomorrow, and already the so-called presidential crank, who thinks he has a right to run the affairs of state, is beginning to appear. He wants to see the President, of course, and incl- dentally, although the rightful owner of millions or a claimant thereto, he invari- abl» wants assistance from the chief ex- ecutive, if the assistance is only enough to pay expressage on some worthless pack- ages. The last man of this kind to appear styles himself “Prof.” G. J. Walters. He has spent some time in Atlantic City, where he was known as “King of the Beach.” This unfortunate man is tall, and wears a military coat and naval cap. When he could no longer live on the people of At- lantic City he packed up his few belong- ings and landed them at the depot. He had them addressed “Prof. G- H, Walters, ca’ of Grover Cleveland, Washington, D. C Being without funds the representative of ‘Adams Express Company refused to check them, and the “Professor” becoming in- sulted said he had been injured to the ex- tent of $1,000,000,000, and he would enter sult for this’ amount when he saw the President. This all happened several days ago, and It was not until yesterday that he appeared here. Maj. Moore had been notified in ad- vance by the Atlantic City authorities that the man was harmless, and so he felt no uneasiness about him. Upon his arrival here “Prof.” Walters represented that Le was the mayor of At- lantic City, dnd thought he would recelve a royal entertainment. But instead of this he was taken before Maj. Moore and later he found himself in a police cell. He. had on his person several telegrams purporting to have been sent to him by the President. He now thinks he will enter sult against this citys Richard Bosere is the name of the other alleged crank. According to his statement he left the Pacific coast about the time the army of tramps started for the Capitol. Not being a member of one of the so-called industrial armies he was under no obliga- tiens to reach here at any particular tine. Incidentally he imagines he owns an island in the Pacific ocean, but at present it is covered with water. He was found on the streets Saturday afternoon by Policeman Holsey. The man was near 15th and H streets on his way to the White House, but just what he wanted the President to do he did not know. Sanitary Officer Frank has charge of these men now, and if the police surgeons think it a safe thing to do they will be sent back to be cared for by the authorities of the places where they belong. —_—_— | * AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOW!

He was a well-known contractor and had resided in Georgetown for the past forty-six years. Ireland was his birthplace. Mr. Maher had been confined for about three months. His ailments were varied, though rheumatism produced the greatest pain and had probably more to do with his death than any other of his afflictions. Old age aggravated his @jsabilities, Mr. Maher being sixty-seven at the time of his death. He leaves a wife, two sons and a daughter. His sons are Messrs, John and Roger Maher. Deceased was the contractor em- ployed years ago to level “Pole Hill,” the great elevated tract about the present Holy Rood cemetery. Mr. Maher’s funeral will take place on Wednesday morning, when there will be services at Trinity. The in- terment will take place in Holy Rood. Notes. Robert M. White Saturday sold to F.

Last evening there was a splendid and an interested attendance, ——— A Street Car Fender. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Having read in The Star the remarks at- tributed to Mr. Dunlop, acting president of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company, regarding street car fenders, I beg to be allowed a few words in reply. Mr. Dunlop states that the search for fenders still goes on, and that the matter is still as- problematical as ever. In the above state- ment he is certainly mistaken. I have seen tested on a car running on the Brightwood electric road a wheel-guard fender board that, were it cushioned, would solve the probiem of street car fenders. Others, in- cluding Commissioners Ross and Powell, have also seen the test. Permit me to state for Mr. Dunlop’s Information that the rail- way men (and so should the public) demand the following qualifications in fender appli- ances, namely, neatness, simplicity, dura- bility, automatic action and capability of being carried exceedingly high, so that it will conform to any road bed, thus passing over immovable obstructions and uneven- ness of road. The Brightwood car fender is held in place by a yielding bar attached to springs, and has three movements—forward, downward and upward—so that when m contact with a movable object the minimum power of the trip or apron yields to the lim- iting check of springs ahd allows the board to go. downward, causing it to ground, Thus the object is pushed aside by the car in motion, when the upward spring returns the fender board instantly to its normal position. OBSERVER. ——— A Narrow Escape. Miss Elizabeth Riley had a miraculous escape from death last Monday. She has been spending some weeks in Kentucky with friends, and on Monday she and her prother, with Mr, J. Green Trimble, jr., also of Washington, and a party of young people from Mt. Sterling, Ky., went for a plenic to Pilot Knob, a noted mountain near — city. The three Washingtonians were ed on the edge of a cliff about sixty feet above the spring around which the picnie party had established itself, Sud- denly, without warning, Miss Riley lost her balance and fell from the cliff. Mr. Trim- ble gallantly tried to save her, but only succeeded in going ov with her. They fell sheer down to the ground, and at first it was thought they were killed. But both revived soon, and it now seems that Miss Riley's injuries are not very serious. Mr. Trimble was only scratched, and escaped with little or no hurt. It is considered al- most beyond belief that both young people were not instantly killed by the fall. Miss Riley is the daughter of the late Mr. Wm. Riley of Iowa circle. IN-MANY INSTANCES A: LIFE SAVER’ AND.BLOOD OOK FO} wate, haw rub the | AMATEUR JOURNALISTS. They Form a Capital City Club and Elect Officers. On Saturday evening the parlors of Wil- lard’s Hotel were filled with many young literary people not only of Washington, but also of other cities. The occasion was the preliminary meeting of the Capital City Club of Amateur Journalists. Similar asso- ciations have been formed in: other cities, and it was believed there was no reason why the capital should not organize a club also, for here are many young aspirants to journalism who have already shown to the public praiseworthy work. First, there was an informal reception to Charles R. Burger, president National Amateur Press Associa- tion; John L. Tomlinson, ex-president Na- tional Association; Franklin Johnson, editor National Asscciation; C. W. Kessinger, sec- retary National Association; G: W. Dodd, jr., secretary National Alumni Association, and M. F. Boachat, president Buffalo Jour- nalists' Club, which served to bring together more closely those who, in a short time, were to organize a club which is intended to be a credit to Washington. The reception committee consisted of Misses Alice Was- serbach and Grace Chandlee, and Messrs. E. H. Smith, Wilbur Underwood, Gus Schuldt, D. Grant Davis, J. Finley Kemp, E. M. Sunderland and Tho:nas J. Fox, who did their duty admirably. After about three-quarters of an hour of pleesant chat, the meeting was called to or- der, Mr. Dav's acting as chairman. A tele- gram and several letters from various parts of the Union werz read, which expressed sympathy with the movement and well wishes for its success, and which were greatly appreciated by all, Then Mr. Bur- as chosen chairman and Mr, Edwin secretary. Mr. Burger gave a talk on “Amateur Journalism: What It is," in which he placed amateur journalism as the noblest institute of American youth. He also spoke of the recreation u club would afford the members, and concluded by saying that he hoped the ball thus started would continue rolling, picking up, in its course, everything that would edd to its greatness. Mr. Boachat spoke on “How to Become an Amateur. Journalis' He made, as a strong point, that each should find out his special capa- bilities and then put himself to that par- ticular work. He also told of the good re- sults of amateur journalism. How it enables one to think more clearly and to che point; how it draws out individuality and gives one a love for literature. Mr. Tomlinson gave a short address on ‘‘What Are We Here For?” in which he spoke of the intelectual im- provement the proposed club would afford and of the various ways it would help the “wabers, A paper prepared by Mr. Johnson was very well read by Miss Kain. This, too, dealt with the advantages and disci- pline of amateur journalism. An address urgit.g the Capital City Club of Amateur Journalism to exercise all its efforts to gain this city for the convention of 1896 was given by Mr. Johnson. This was enthusias- tically received, and the members showed a readiness to do all im iheir power to bring the convention here. All the speeches were short, crisp, full of spirit, and to the point, and all were received with loud applause. The club then procee-ied to the election of officers, which resulted in Mr. E. M. Sun- derland being clected president, Miss Alice Wasserbach, vice president, Sarah Willard Howe, secretary; Mr. Wilbur Underwood, treasurer; Mr. Tracy, official editor, and Mr. Gus Schuldt, librarian, With such an able corps of officers, all of whom ‘have shown a remarkable talent in literary work -in this city, there is no doubt that this association will begin its work brilliantly and carcy it on with earnest fervor. Each officer said a few words of acceptance and appreciation, which were followed by applause. Mr. Ki: senger also spoke briefly, expressing bis appreciation of the proceedings. A constitution which had been carefully and thoughtfully arranged by Mr. Smith, who has had experience in amateur jour- nalism, was laid before the club, and after due consideration, was adopted. The Capi- tal City Club of Amateur Journalism is now an established fact. It will meet monthly, and the members feel sure it will prosper and become a widespread associa- tion. It has the hearty welb wishes of all. Among those present were Mrs. Tracy, Mrs. Wasserbach, Mrs. Hopper, Mrs. Hayden, Miss De Vecchi, Miss L. Tibbetts and Mr. Milton Tipbets, editors of the Weekly Bul- letin; Miss Smilie, Miss Merillat, Miss Drane, Miss Isemann, Miss Hopper, Miss Beiber, Miss Love, Miss Potter, Miss Alice Wasser- bach, the Misses Chandlee, Miss Sarah Wil- jard Howe, Miss Hays, Miss Homes, Messrs.
