NIGHT OF EXCITEMENT: é iThe Sports Whb Wins toa Sparring Exhibi- 3 tion Enjoy-a- Shooting-Sorapa:. een Attempt: to: Rob; the: Treasarer: of: the Young: Men's Athteti¢ Ciub— The. Wrong, Saichel.. The-Young Mén’s-Athiétic Club: provided+ jan-unusual entertainment ‘f6r-its ‘friends. at‘ Steubner's road ‘house, om the Bladensburge: ‘Toad, last evening; It consisted-of .two-ex- citing-sparring..contests: and jan:attempt:at thighwey robbery: withshooting-accompani- ments. A sportirg charaeter-named Carley Dobbins, who acted as treasurer of the ‘club, was severely wounded.in the right ‘shoulder by an. umknown.man,.in an at- ‘tempt. to. rob him of. the: proceeds of: the evening’s entertainment. The shooting oc- ‘curred during the intermission between the first and second ‘bouts and icreated intense excitement. For a time it looked asthough. the- great: crowd: of men: im: attendance would ‘be thrown into a panic. That result was prevented only by the coolness of’ one- or'two men, who .advised:everyons to keep; his-seat. There were about. five. hundred persons closely packed together in the arena just outside the main building. The sitting room, where the shooting occurred, was deserted, however, save: by Mr. Dob- birs, Mrs. Helmuth, wife of the proprietor, a-servant girl. Dobbins. was engaged am counting. up his cash and sorting it into a vatise, preparatory to bringing it to Washington. The two:women were ergeg- ed'in household duties, and were paying.no iparticular attention to Dobbins. While the datter;was thus occupied he was gruffly ac- ‘costed “by a rough-looking: white man, who had. just_entered.the rogm,. followed’ by. a ‘colored man. The white man demanded to be-served with a sandwich, packages of which were ranged in piles ona ccunter near where: Dobbins wxs standing. Dob- bins paid no attention to the man, except to say that he had nothing’to do with the ‘sandwiches. He said this without raising his head, and the first intimation’ he re- ceived that trouble was at hand was the report of a pistol ard the whirr of a bullét as it passed within a few inches of his head. Turning quickly, he saw that the white-man, who had just addressed ‘him, held a smoking-1evelver in-his hand, aimed at him. Before he could get at the man ov seek shelter, the revolver was discharged again, and this time with better aim, asthe ball lodged in the muscles of the right shoulder. Dobbins tumbled over and yelled for help. The women, who had witnessed the: last shot, also gave out series of shrieks, and in-an instant the whole house was in an uproar. That robbery was the purpose of the two visitors was shown by the action of the leader ¢s*scon as he saw that his-shot had ‘taken effect. Took the Wrong Satchel: There were two small satehels: near “Dob- bins. One contained about $1,200, but there was nothing~in the other, except a few articles of: clothing. By» a fortunate blunder:the robber: grabbed the valise-con- taining: the: clothing and rushed: out: into. the darkness with his pal, and'escaped be- fore the-crowd that quickly. gathered real- ized. what had happened. Parties went in search of them, but'were unable to:discover’| the slightest trace: of their whereabouts: ‘The wounded man was placed in a carriage and-drivento-Hyattsviite; the-residence~ of” the nearest physician. His. wound. was dressed, and he-was brought: to hts home. in this:city, Heisa nephew of Mr. Robert: M. Dobbins, who has a store on 9th street near D, and is employed by him as a clerk. ‘Three members of the Maryland constabu- lary, who ‘were.present at the fights; undér- took to-capture his two assailants, but so far have failed:to do se. The Sparring Exhibitions. Outside of this.incident the affair’ was quite successful. The program included two bouts; one between Chappie James and -| Young:Savi,. bantam weights,.and the other ‘between Solly English and’ Joe Bateman, light weight champions of Baltimore and Weshington, respectively. Mr. Dan Dwyer, a former sparring partner of Sullivan, act- ~| ed as.referee, and gave general satisfac- tion. The bout between James and Savi lasted only four rounds, according to agree- ment,.and was declared a draw, although James clearly had the better of it. It was called. @ draw. simply because both men were on their feet at the finish. The fight between Bateman and English was one of the cleverest exhibitions of the kind ever seen in this vicinity. Both men are scientific and strong. Whatever linger- ing doubt there may: have-beer as to-Bate- man’s gameness was most’ effectually: dis- | pelled. by his plucky conduct last night. .| Both men were struck hard and often, but were in such» excellent condition that the blows did not appear to do very much damage. English used his left with great effect on Bateman’s nose, and the latter | usually retaliated strongly with his left on English’s- stomach, and his right om the head. The fighting was exceedingly lively from start to finish, and it was soon de- monstrated that the pair were exceedingly well matched. The fight was-scheduled for fifteen-rounds but at the close-of the fif- teenth-round. the referee declared that he was unable to say which was*the winner, and therefore called for five more rounds. —This. was done in accordance with the suggestion made by Bateman before. the contest began.. The additional rounds, however, were not sufficient to settle the question of supremacy, and at their close the referee-declared the contest a draw, a decision that seemed to be acceptable to all. Bateman put ‘up a.great fight, and his many friends in this city are proud of his werk. The Ball Extracted. Young Dobbins was pronounced out of denger today, Dr. Davidson, who attended him, succceded: in finding. the bullet last night and extracted it. The shot struck a rib a little to the left of the medial line, and glanced on under the shoulder, making only a flesh wound. Such a lucky chance could hardly occur once in a thousand times. The young man is abed, somewhat the worse for his shock, and. suffering some pain, but a quick recovery is pre- dicted for’him, and he is expected to be outdoors.again by the end of next week. CORNELL GOES: TO. HENLEY. The Ithacans to Sail’ on the Paris on May 20. Passage to Southampton and’ return by the American line steamship Paris has been engaged for the Cornell "Varsity crew. The party will consist of sixteen persons. The Ithaca oarsmen, taking paper. shells with them, will sail from New: York on May 29 and at once proceed to Henley, where they-will train for the Grand Chal- lenge Cup race; to be rowed cn the Thames during: the second week of. July. In this event. the American collegians will meet the best. crews of England, France and other: countries. that may, aspire. to: the aquatic championship of the world. ‘The -Leander eight, composed of the best oarsmen of Oxford and Cambridge Uni- versities, will be in the race. HIGH ROLLERS. The Young Egyptians Fought Man- fully, but: Lost. A large attendance of ladies and gentle- men witnessed the bowling match on the alleys of the Cairo last night. In this con- test the team of the Cairo Bowling Club, as the scores will tell, made a: splendid showing in their first effort behind the foot line, but in this engagement the: ex- perience. and science of bowlers of the Columbia Athletic Club were too great for them. For the Cairos Capt. Stitt did fine and the best work. He made the good total of 493 pins for his serial run ahd he also bowl- ed over 196 pins for the highest individual seore of his team. For the Columbias Harry Mason did great work. He found the pins for a total of 550 pins im: his triplet run and he also made the phenomenal individual score of 236 pins. Frank Stone of the same. team was right at his heels, with a total of 545 pins. His steady. and even work was a feature of the contest. The “Egyptian. tyros” bowled over 2,294 pins for the series, which netted them the very good team average of 764 2-3 per game. 3 The “winged-arrow” bowlers found the pins for the grand total of 2,398 pins, which placed their: team average for the series at the high knotch of 799 1-3 per game. This is:the best average ever made im a match game in the District: Mason’s:score at 236 is also the best indtvidual run in: a ‘match game and_broke.the record of the ‘Cairo alleys by five pins. ; These: alleys. are: surely, of; the score” order; “are: of: a: good: quality; and. well built,..but the-high:scones:.are -ac- counted. for:in::a: measure- by. the.closeness. fof: the: pin: spots:.

The conditions of the match provided that if’ both: men were: on" their feet at the conctusion of the sixth round no decision would be given. Choynski had all the-best of it; except in one round. He knocked Creedon down twice, brought the Wood ina stream from: his nose, and‘had his: man very tired and going: when the sixth round closed. Choynski weighed 161 pounds, and’ although Creedon’s weight ‘was not given, he looked to weigh fully as much.as.his opponent. The Track Was Fast and! Dry. Over a fast, dry track, tyree favorites, an outsider, a second and third choice se- cured winning brackets at Alexander Island yesterday, and the fifteen book- makers had a little the better of the ‘argu- ment with the talent. The fields were large and the racing somewhat above the everage. The winners were: Rama, 10 to 1; Grand Prix, 6 to 5; Little Jim, 6 to 5; Thurston, 7 to 10; Cadet, 6-to.1, and Dil- lon J., 3 to 1. Racing in New York State. The assembly committee om codes spent most of'the afternoon yesterday at Albany, N. Y., discussing the Percey-Gray racing bill. The report of the subcommittee was adopted by the full committee, with the exception of the amendment providing that licenses of racing associations shail be re- voked by the jockey club. That power is given to the committee whose-appointment by the governor is provided for by the amended bill. The committee also agreed on. amendments. providing. that. the. rules. and regulations of ail racing: associations shall be prescribed by the jockey club and the state shall receive 5 per cent of the gross receipts from all racing..associations. The Ives pool law is abolished. Pool sell- irg is prohibited, but private wagers are allowed. BASE BALL NOTES. According to all accounts the Washing- tens put up: a. pretty “rocky” game. at Charleston, S. C., yesterday, when they played the Bostons;, They made five-errors to Boston's, one. That “stonewall” infield, Houseman and Crooks, had a few leaks in it, which will need stopping before the championship season opens. Mercer pitch- ed five innings, and the score was kept dcwn to-2 to 1 in Boston’s favor. Then Malarky, went in, and: the bay state play- ers: began to whack his delivery at will, making hits and causing. errors until four runs were scored in’one inning. Dolan and Wilson pitched for the Bostons. Washing- ton made 9 hits; Boston, 11. Washington trade two double piays,. and Boston one. Beston won by 8 to 4. Mahoney split: his fiand badly, which will require a lay-off. The two teams play again t ‘y+ Cleveland defeated Little Rock by 6 to 2, aud St. Louis downed New Orléans: by, 17 to 5. Chris Von der Ahe has left St. Louis for New Orleans to escape services of a war- rant for assault to kill. Chris noticed a negro acting suspiciously about the: ball park office. The negro refused to leave, and Chris fired a shot in the ground. The ncgro, George Stevenson, swore out a-war- rant. Nichols; the pitcher: of the Boston. team, who has been demanding more money, has wired Manager Sélee that he is ready to come to terms and join the team. He will prcbably join the team.at Columbus, S. C. on the 28th. President Andtew Freedman is buying up all the loose New York Club stock in sight. Since he purchased 1,191 shares as a.con- trolling interest he nas increased his hold- ings to 1,264 shares. Yesterday he tele- graphed an offer to Buck Ewing. for his fifteen shares. There are few minor stock- holders left in the club. James. H. O'Rourke of the Connecticut Bese Ball League has sold the Waterbury franchise to: Tommy York of Albany, who will take his: nine there. Tony Mullane will be seen with Comis- ky’s St. Paul team this season. The Baltimore base ball.team arrived at Atianta jast night at 9 o'clock. They leave for: Montgomery. today. The Brooklyns have- twenty men under contract—five or six more than they» will cerry through the season. If. Mulvey shows any of: his former effectiveness in practice, Shindle will probably be released. Fred Pfeffer says in a letter from Prince- ton concerning the story that he will not play ball: “I shall be in Louisville in time for. the opening games, in condition, and ready to play anywhere President Stucky desires to place me.” Arlie Latham says the reason he is not with the Cincinnati team is because he is. making $20 a week.at his trade. ——_—.__ Naval: Orders.

'| (Pomeking.Sndd:te: De Actively, Carried: on—Statements: om: the: Sabject From Dr. Coues and Others. Statements: recently published: to: the-ef- ‘fect that animals on: the reservation of “the Yellowsone: National: Park .are- being- killed by, poachers;:, notwithstanding. the law~ of |: May; 1804, have-:excited no:little discussion» ‘of the American. Htmane-: Association, has. risen to declare. that. the. allegations. are wholly: false ard’ without foundation: He asserts= that the beasts. and’ birds. have-|- ‘ample protection; adding~ that it is: “high time: that. the» public. should become ac- quainted -with the facts; and‘take warning: of ‘the awfut consequences which’ await the ‘hapless individual who attempts. to kill or teaim animals, or trap.them: alive,.or catch ‘fish -in .the- parks” ; Told so by the Poachers. | Mr. Walter H. Weed, who has spent sev- erat-years im the:park, and issnow engaged. 4m writing-a report on’ it(for'the geological ‘survey, was interrogated. on. the. subject | yesterday, He: said: “Poaching: is constantly. going. on\in the ‘park: My information on the subject has been’ obtained: from. the poachers _ them- selves: I have-seen them at eowork’ with my own ey; On one occasion I came across (2 party: of: them, who had. the shoes of itheir horses: turned. wrong. side: before,. so ‘as- to: mislead. anybody who might be- on their:trail. The reservation is so vast that it is not possible to patrol’ it effectively with: the means: now at hand. There area couple: of scouts who make expeditions: at intervals in search of ppachers; sometimes alone and: at other times. taking two or three idiers. with them. The soldiers couid not find theic way through the wilds unassisted: by guides. You can easily im- agine how far such a system must prove-a. failure. I could take yousinto the park next week and hunt there for a couple of: weeks or more without the slightest danger from the law.” Prof. Arnold Hague, who not long ago completed the government survey of the park, expressed himself in a. conservative Tanner. He said: “I have no doubt that poaching is now going on in the YeHowstone Park. The military force at: hand is hardly- sufficient: to patrol the reservation with such thor- ovghness as would prevent depredations of the kind. Difitculty,of Enforcing the Law. Dr. Elliott Coues, who knows much about the park, said yesterday: “The greatest danger to the park is-the presence just outside of its-northeast cor- mer of a town called. Cook City, the in- habitants of which have always. regarded the park.as.a game preserve provided for ‘their own use. I ain able to state-with cer- tainty that not very. long: ago. buffalo.and! elk: meat was. commonly offered. for. sale without disguise in Cook.City, The. string- cnt law of May: 7, 1894, is an admirable one, and-will, no doubt, do geod in the future; but that.it has accomplished rauch: hither- to, or materially affected: the poaching, I. doubt.. The trouble: is.less: with the: law: than with the practical and.as yet unsolv- ‘ed difficulty of enforcing its provisions-by, the conviction and punishment of offenders: liam well'acquainted with Capt. Anderson, ‘than whom no more efficient and capable otticer- could be found for the. position: he ‘holds. in the:park. But, unless-the :foree:at his disposal for patrolling the park has been: greatly. increaged since I conversed: with him during the summer. before -last, it is: Pardly possible. that the- poaching. should ‘be done.away.with. Knowing, asI.do, the. active. and intelligent: interest: which the. Seeretary of the Interior takes:in the pres- ervation of the park: from poachers. and vandals, I feel sure-he wiil negle>t no. op- portunity of providing for the corvietion ‘and punishment of offenders.” Maj, Powell's: View. Maj. J. W. Powell said: “I have not lately visited.the park, but such information as-I have leads me to believe that sufficient protection is-not-af- forded under-the statutes for the wild ani- mals. This seems to be the impression of those who have had an intimate knowledge of the facts during late years. From state- ments that have been made to me I infer that more rigid regulations should~be en- forced by. statutory authority to prevent the encroachment of poachers.’ —————~—____ Star of Hope Lodge. Each meeting. of ‘Star of Hope Lodge of Good Templars increases in interest, at- tendance and importance, and hence the large membership and: mony visitors-pres- ent at the meeting last’ evening found- greater enjoyment and attraction than at any meeting of the lodge for a long: time.- Mr. F. E. Harding, chief templar, presided. The lodge tendered an invitation to Dis- trict Lodge, No. 3, to hold its next quarter- ly meeting, which occurs in April, with that lodge. The lodge has also decided to hold an open @eeting on next Thursday even- ing, at which the public may have an op- portunity to learn something as to. what the order, and the lodge especially, is do- ing. The lodge is: preparing actively to participate in the unicn meeting on Mon- day evening next, when all the lodges in district No. 3 will meet with Rescue Lodge at 610 7th street southwest. The lodge will also assist Morning Star Lodge in. receiv- ing and entertaining Golden Light Lodge of Alexandria at. Typographical Temple this evening. Mr. Harry Hudson of Persever- ance Lodge, as a member of a committee. appointed for the purpose of presenting the needs of the Good’ Templars: of’ Ne- braska, was heartily received by the gen- erous people of Star of Hope Lodge, and a substantial contribution to the fund in aid of the order in that state was received and plans inaugurated for increasing it materi- ally in the near future. The social session was presided over by Miss Carry Lanman, and undef her direc- tion a program of exceptional merit and in- terest was presented. Miss Ellen Vockey and Miss-Kennedy of Liberty Ledge enter- tained with piano solos splendidly render- ed; Mr. John M. McAvoy sang in good voice a baritone solo, Mr. Neidfelt favored with an entertaining recitation and Miss Vockey captured the house with “Sheri- dan’s Ride.” Brief addresses of especial force were delivered by A. T. Maupin, grand counselor, and I. J. S. Blackford, grand ‘chaplain. —_— The Short Story Club. Mr. Marshall entertained this club Wed- nesday evening in: the parlers of the Ox- ford. After two selections by the “Short Story Banjo Club,’ accompanied by a mandolin and’ piane, Mr. J. L.

Miss» Mary McKee displayed. a. voice of sweetness and flexibility in De Koven‘s “Forest: Song.’ Mrs. Dora: Voorhis-read a sketch, entitled “Old Songs,”” accompanied by Mrs. Barringer, who sang many sweet old melodies. Mr.’ Murdock. sang. “Love's Sorrow,” Prof. O'Donoghue recited “My Uneie,”* and: Mrs. J. H. Townshend's. con- tralto voice appeared ‘to good advantage in the “Bedouin Love Song,” “How Kissing Cup: Won the Race” was’so magnificently done by Miss. Ada ‘Townsend that. the club disregerded the rule as to encores,- and she | was forced to respond with: “When: the House is Left Alone?’ Mrs. M. F. O’Dono- ghue sang Mattei’s “Non e Ver.” A High School girl, Miss Sarah Willard Howe, read an original sketch, “The Flowers Festival,” in the writing of which she evidenced much poetical imagination. “The Sea Hath Its Peols,’ a vocal number by Miss Halley, closed the exercises. The gentlemen of the banjo club were Messrs. Lallade, Joyce, Barr, C. Hopkins and'E. C. Prenttss. Ac- companists for the several soldists were Prof. Smith, Miss Reichenbach, Mrs. Bar- ringer and Miss. McKee, The attendance was very large. ————— The Crrgge of the Montgomery.
