LATE SPORTING NEWS Outs Five! \Pyvorites Won. ‘The talent at the St. Asaph track Satur- day had by ftar,th# best day of the meeting, five favorites and'n strongly backed second choice being Suctessful. The attendance was the best for s-veral days and the rac- ing above the ordinary. In the first pace, half mile, Parthenja, at 7 to 10, won rather easily by two lengths from Nineveh, 15 to 1, Bergen remaining awake. Prince George, at 1 to 4, romped in ahead of Little Tom in the second, the.other winners being: King Gold, 4 to 1; Galilee, even money; Song and Dance, 2 to 5, and Elphin, 6 to 6. The last event of the day yas carded as a race for hunters, gentlemen riders. If it had been carded as a scBeating farce it would have been much nearer the truth. It was no race for the ex-sfeeplechaser Elphin, who won as he pleased by eight or ten iengths, and appeared to have the only man capable of riding. Accident on the Island, The racing at the Alexander Island track Saturday was marred by an accident, which occurred in the fourth race, resulting in injury to Jockeys Donnelly and King and the destruction of the horse Florist. The attendance was large and the racing good. The winners wete: Jack Wilson, 3 to 1; Dr. Johnson, even money; Fagin, 2 to 1; Cam- den, even money, and Levina, even money. What the Turfmen Think. The board of stewards of the Jockey Club and representatives of the Brooklyn, Coney Island and New York Jockey clubs met in New York Saturday night and discussed the situation brought about by the popular indorsement of the constitutional amend- ment abolishing pool-selling. They believed that the legislature would not act in the matter ;when the horse interests at stake are considered. Aguinst Race Track Gambling. An ‘organized fight against race track gambling is to be made at the next session of the Rhode Island legislature. Senator Merrill has been selected to take the first step by introducing a meusure repealing the present pool law as soon as the legislature meets, The Baltimore Horse Show. ‘The feature of the Baltimore horse show Saturday afternoor was the Hunt Club special, in which the horses and hounds of the Elkridge Fox-Hunting Club, the Green Spring Valley Hunt Club and the Chevy Chase Hunt Club of Washington took part. The Elkridge Club got the blue ribbon and the Green Spring valley boys the red one. At night the chief event was the judging of the tirst and second prize-winners in the hunting and jumping classes for the cham- picnship of the meeting, the fences being five feet high. Lady Bird, the splendid mare owned by Mrs. S. S. Howland of this city, carried off first honors, with Aberdeen, owned by Adam Beck of London, Ont., sec: ond. Ives and Schaefer.

The Nativnal Rifles, which as stated in The Star Saturday is to join the District National Guard, is probably one of the best-known military commards in the United States, and certainly none enjoy @ more enviable reputation than this fine body of well-drilled and well-disciplined sol- diers. ‘The company organization dates from November, 185¥, its original member- ship being largely made up of those who have since gained reputation and fame and fortune. ‘here have always been borne upon its roster representatives of the oldest and best-known families of the capital city, and among some of them may be men- tioned the late Capt. John R. Smead of the army, Dupont Davis, Ed T. Matthews, Col. Wm. G. Moore, Rey. Charles March Pyne, Col. W. R. Smedberg of the army, Thomas H. Alexander, Maj. Marcellus Bailey, Wm. D.

It was one of the first military com- panies in the United States to enlist in the service at the breaking out of the civil war and the first armed military body to in- vade Virginia in 1861. After the expiration of its three months’ service, many enlisted for the war in other commands as officers of various grades; one rising to the rank of brevet major general; one brevet briga- dier general; two colonels; five Meutenant colonels; six majors; nine captains, and three lieutenants. To the navy the Rifles gave one paymaster and one assistant en- gineer. The Rities have always borne the reputation of being the kid-gloved military command of the District, and its social affairs have generally been recognized as very select and have been patronized only by the better class of people resident and sojourning here. Competitive Drills. In former years it competed in interstate and national drill contests for company prizes, and was successful in several con- tests of that character. As a military body it is well known in many parts of the United States, having traveled extensively in both the east and west, making many warm military and social friends wherever it went. Financially, the command is in most com- fortable circumstances, being the owner of the valuable armory on G street between Yth and 10th streets, which its estimated to be worth $100,000, exclusive of its furnish- ing. The armery hall is a popular and fashionable resort, all the strictly exclusive social events, such as the Army and Navy, and Bachelors’ germans, the charity balls and the Rifles’ own receptions, being held in it. The company also posse: two com- plete sets of handsome uniforms; owns both its arms and equipments, and is altogether prosperous in every sense of the word. —_ > The Saengerbund’s Program.

Numbers of people are attracted to the junction of 7th street and Mount Vernon Square, where mechanics are engaged in placing in position the mechanism which will allow the new cable of the Columbia Street railway to cross that of the 7th street line. To the uninitiated the im- mense hole in the ground appears to be cecupied by an intricate iron puzzle, which busy workmen are endeavoring to solve. The conduit covering of the 7th street con- duit has been removed, leaving bare the iron bows which support the cable, and al- lowing the black, endless, never-quiet iron snake to squirm along rapidly in full view, there being no stoppage of traffic whatever. The iron work which will carry the Columbia cable ts also in place, and the latter will probably be made to go under the th street rope by a downward turn be- neath small but powerftl wheels. This has not been settled, however, until it 1s ascer- tained which road has the right of way at the junction. If the Columbia charter ante- dates that of the company owning the 7th street franchise the iatter’s cable will have to take a dip. In any event, the successful completion of the crossing will only be the work of a few more hours. The work on the rest of the Columbia line is progressing rapidly, and cable cars will be humming along from the treasury to 15th street and the boundary northeast before Christmas, —— Confirmation at St. P: At St. Paul's Catholic Church yesterday 102 persons were confirmed, eighteen adults and eighty-four children, The services were conducted by Bishop Curtis of Wilmington, Del., who preached at high mass at 10:30 o'clock in the morning, and again at the confirmation services in the afternoon. Mer. Satolli was present and conducted the vespers and benediction. This morning at 9 o'clock Bishop Curtis confirmed about thirty persons at the House of the Good Shepherd in Georgetown, The new church of St. Paul's congregation will be dedicated December 30 by Mgr. Satolli with appro- priate ceremonies. The first service in the new church will probably be held Christ- mas day. ee India the Paradise of Women, Mrs. Dr. Badly, who has so charmed her Washington audiences, both by her native eloquence ard graphic pictures of life in the orient, culled from rineteen years’ ex- perience a8 a fcreicn missionary, will speak at Foundry Church Tuescay, November 13, at 1:30 p. m.; topic, “India, the Paradise for Women.” Here is a Letter, one of hundreds that are coming in daily.
