Le Grand Johnston returned to the city a few days ago. Nearly all of that time was spent within a short distance of Alexan- dria, where the abundance and variety of paintable material has enabled the artist to provide himself with a large number of delightful canvases, which will be in- cluded in the exhibition he expects to hold early in February. ay Mr. Richard N. Brooke is busily prepar- ing for the exhibition he will hold in Jan- uary. Many of his most picturesque sub- jects are those taken along the coast of Holland, the fishing smacks and homely peasantry being replete with artistic motifs. oe The bronze statue of General Spinner has just been received by Mr. Ellicot trom the foundry in Philadelphia, and occupies a conspicucus position in the eculptor’s studio, where it will remain until a site has been selected for it. The members of the Spinner Memorial Association, for whom the statue was made, wish it’ to be placed in front of the north entrance to the treasury, and that will probably be the place eventually decided upon. As soon as this is known positively Mr. Ellicot will begin work on his design for the pedes- tal, which is to be cut in granite. <i. ewe © Mr. Emil Meyer has just sold to Mrs. Stanly Matthews the large genre painting, “A Critical School Report,” which attract- ed so much attention during the last exhi- bition by the Society of Washington Art- ists. The picture, which contains five fig- ures, was exhibited in the Munich Salon of 1800, where it received honorable mention. A smaller canvas by the same artist, which has also recently been purchased by Mrs. Matthews, is called ‘Watching the Bal- loon.” “+ ¢ * 8 Miss Minnigerode will leave the city for New York on the 15th of this month, and will remain there for six or eight weeks studying water-color painting under Rhoda Holmes Nichols. The water-color class in the Corcoran Art School has, under the supervision of Miss Minnigerode, increased so rapidly in size, and made such great progress, that the young teacher informs 1 Is she “will have to get some new elf in order to keep ahead of her The class numbers forty-four earn- est students. <. @-22 s Mr. Henry J.

A new sketch club has been formed by Mr. W. H. Chandlee and Mr. Gibbs, with the object of drawing together and cre- ating common interests among the young artists and designers of Washington.

Mike Milligan, a miner, stepped into the Queen City restaurant shortly before 8 o'clock last evening and ordered a nice, juicy, plain steak. He soon was wrestling with the beef. He was getting along nice- ly when suddenly something happened. About the same time that Mr. Milligan ordered his supper Che Varille, the Frenchman who runs the shooting gallery rext to the restaurant, had also got into trouble. A B B shot had become lodged in the bsrrel of one of his rifles, and he could not poke it out with a ramrod. The ball had to come out, so he put in a 22- caliber cartridge, and, not wishing to shoot at his target with a double-shotted gun, he took aim at the floor and fired. And this was what happened: Just as Milligan took a large bite of his steak, a rifle ball came tearing through the restaurant wall, whizzed past the face of a woman who was eating lunch in a “box,” and, crossing the room, lodged in Milligan’s right arm. The bullet had glanced from the shooting gallery floor and passed into the adjoin- ing building, and had attempted to go through Mr. Milligan, but in this it failed. The bullet entered Milligan’s right bi- ceps and ranged upward toward the shoul- der. The wound bled very freely. Milligan was taken to his apartments in a lodging house, and Drs. Steele aud Rockman were called, They secured the bullet and dre: ed the wound. +00 Gov. Waite’s Great Scheme. From the Denver Times-Sun. Today it became definitely known about the state house that Governor Waite is to establish a union of western governors, to be known as “Western Lodge, No. 1, of the Grand Consolidated Union of Turned- down Governors.” The three leading mem- bers are to be himself, together with ex- Governors Lewelling and Pennoyer. It is said that the governor is delighted with the scheme, because it is especially stipulated that he is to be walking dele- gate and can ride in Pullmans, at the same time using the Waite family as private secretaries. On the organization of the new union the first thing that Waiking Delegate Waite will do will be to order a strike of the governers for an eight-hour day and salaries to be doubled. If the successful candidates do not comply with the orders vf the minority they will be pronounced seabs, and the unton will at- tempt to cause a tle-up of the govern- ments of the different states and suspend business. In this way the governor hopes to bring plutocrats to terms. He intends the first stuke of the governors’ union to be a success, and will start it something on the order of the A. R. U. strike. point, nearly all the’ WHEN UNION COMES| The Oolumbias Preparing for the Christmas Game. BUTTERWORTH 70 PLAY WITH THEM Activity Among the Y. M. C. A. Athletes. BASKET BALL LEAGUE Though the recent contest between the Columbia Athletic Club and Georgetown College foot ball elevens was unfortunate in more ways than one, still it has not in any wise dampened the ardor of the C. A. C. boys for the Christmas day's game with Union College. Dr. Hudson of the college faculty was in the city the first part of the week and arranged for a good many of the details of the game with Capt. Bivins of the club. Some of the C. A. C. men feel very doubtful about coming out on top in, the contest, as Union College has this year the strongest foot ball eleven she has ever had. The eleven defeated West Point by an overwhelming score, and the soldier boys claim that they have a very fine team this year, having scored against the cham- pion sons of “Old Eli.” Of course, the local eleven will be strongly reinforced by the addition of Butterworth, but save in that one case the eleven will probably remain as it is now constituted. Capt. Wells will keep the men in training and will put on the finishing touches himself, without the aid of a coach. As usual, the game will take place at National Base Ball Park, but instead of 2 o'clock it will begin at 12. Dr. Hudson will be in the city shortly and will then make public the line-up of his team. Y. M. C, A. Athletics. The recent exhibition by the young men of the Christian Association has shown that though Instructor Sims and his pupils de- vote themselves entirely to the development of the human structure, still some of their members can be depended upon to hold their own with many of the best athletes in various lines in this city. For example, Joe Horan is without a peer in this city in regard to tumbling, and his work at the exhibition brought forth thunders of &p- plause. Though Harry Green did not try for a record at pole vaulting, he came with- in three-quarters of an inch of equaling the gymnasium record, it being now nine feet, five and three-quarter inches. The ex- hibition was remarkable for the way in which the men showed their training by their symmetrically developed bodies. In- structor Sims aims to help a man’s physt- cal being, and a person could do nearly all of the class work that was done Wednes- day evening in the course of a week or so of practice. He is an expert in his line. In the near future there will be given an exhibition, at which the indoor gymnasium records will be tried for, such as hitch-and- kick for height, pole vault, snap-under-the- bar, &c. The great number of new materi- al that has joined the association this win- ter will show up to good advantage at this exhibition, and {it 1s confidently expected that at least one or more records will be broken. Upward of sixty men may be seen practicing on the floor every evening, and from such a large class many experts in special branches can probably be secured. P. Long, if he keeps on improving at the rate he is doing, will make some of his brother Indians’ at the Carlisle Indian School hustle to keep up with him. itob- bins, the new man of Horan’s class, is showing up well as a tumbler. Sanford, the ball player, took part in the exhibition and showed up finely. The instructor has in course of prepara- tion a team to take part in the interstate convention of the Young Men’s Christian Association, which takes place at Cumper- land, Md., from the 17th to the 20th of January. The exercises will consist in showing how the physical directors of the various associations develop their pupils, and what methods they use. In addition to the team and delegates sent from this city, there will probably be a good-sized local following. Mr. James Nelson, who has fenced in several exhibitions, has been selected to represent the local Y. M. C. A. at the next A. A. U. fencing championship meeting, which will be held in New York city some time in January. Mr. Nelson has charge of the fencing class at the gym. and would have had several of his pupils in the exhibition if there had been time enough. Young Men's Catholic Club, ‘The team which represents the Y. M. C. ©. in the amateur bowling league attribute its poor showing at the Buena Vista Club to the unevenness of the alleys, and when the scores of various games are con- sidered the point seems well taken, The team is really the “kid” team of the league, but has plenty of snap and takes defeat pluckily. The rehearsals for the play, “The Pri- vate Secretary,’ are progressing favor- ably, and Mr. H. H. Cassidy, late with the American isxtravaganza Company, who has charge of the rehearsal, promises a fine performance. ‘The cast 1s as follows: Dougiass Cottermore, M. A. Kean; Harry Marsland, ‘I. P. Kennelly; Cottermore, Le’ Carroll; Gibson, the tailor, D. Sweeney; Mrs. Head and Miss Ashton, Miss Helene Lackaye; Eva Webster, Miss ry Davereaux, and Edith Marsden, Miss Salie Wheeler. Basket bali seems slow to catch the members, but it is believed it will be more popular as it better understood. The gymnasium apparatus has received a thorough overhauling, and the members show more interest in athletics as the weather grows colder. Dave ‘Thomas, the champion fancy bi- cyclist of the club, is showing up well in his work, and some of his new feats are very difficult. Already the politicians among the members are casting about for available timber in the coming election of officers. ‘The present officers have man- aged affairs very wisely, and some of them will probably be retained in office, Carroll Institute. Instructor Joyce is much pleased with the way his team is showing up at basket ball, and he is very anxious for the Bal- timore Y. M. C, A. team to play off the odd game. He will not consent, however, that it be played off in Baltimore, as his men received very different treatment from that with which they greeted the men with the Oriole colors when they ar- rived in this elty. Last ‘Thursday evening Instructor Cross- ley, representing the Columbia Athletic Club, Harry Lee of the W. L. I. C. and Joyce of the institute met to consider plans for the basket ball league. A series of games have been arranged between the three clubs for the month of December, and by the time they are played off the teams from the-Washington Athletic Club end the National Rifles will have had ex- perience enough to enter the field. The first contest ccmes off next Wednesday evening at the C. A. C. gym., and will be between the soldier boys and the C. A. C. The next game will be between the C. A, C. and Carroll Institute, and will come off the following week. Carroll Institute and the W. L. 1. C. will play the last game of the series at the Infantry Armory. It is hoped and expected by the members that a constitution and officers will be shortly provided for, and when that step has been accomplished the league will be fairly upon its feet. January 17 has been fixed upon for the exhibition at the institute, and, among others, Messrs. Howard, Pearson, Buckley, Downey, Oliver, Becker, Moran, Eckari and Shea will participate. Instructor Joyce is already at work on some of the numbers of the program, and is working nightly with Moran in a brother act. The junior class will give an exhibition on the paral- lel bars. John Pearson and Carl Mess have taken up wrestling, and will be seen in a bout on the night of the exhibition, * Jockey Duffy Went to Sleep.
