Their Base Ball Nine Beaten by Georgetown and Their Eight by the Potomae Saturday was distinctively Washington day at Annapolis. The naval cadets were out for their share of athletic honors, but there was a slip somewhere, for the honors did not materialize. On land and water they sought success, but failed to find it on either. At base ball they lost to the Geergetown College nine, and later in the afternoon the Potomacs did them to a turn in a mile and a half race on the Severn. The morning trains from this city car- ried to Annapolis a number of Washington- ians, who went down to see the fun. A lot of Georgetown and Potomac men accom- panied their respective teams, and a group of Analostaa men also were on hand. Pretty girls were there by the score, and the middies gave them a royal welcome. The beautiful grounds of the Naval Acad- emy never looked more attractive, and trees and lawns were alike in perfect con- dition. The uniforms of officers and cadets ent just the needed feature to the land- scape to make it complete. The old town bad put on a gala dress, and every one was out to see the sports. The only thing lack- ing was a little more luck for the middies, for, of course, they had the sympathies of the crowd with them, and it was a griev- ous disappointment to them and to their friends when they had to taste unlooked- for defeat. It was generally admitted in advane that the base ball team had no show against the veteran Georgetown men, for they were out of their class, and all that the embryo admirals hoped for was that they might be able to keep the score down to a reasonable figure, and make as good a showing as possible. In this their hopes went astray, for when the smoke of battle had cleared away it was found that the student players had piled up a total of thirty-two runs, while the best the sailor boys could do was to get one lone over the plate in nine innings. An Uneven Game. The game was played on the big stretch of greensward down near the gymnasium and the sea-wall. It made an ideal base ball field, and ropes stretched around kept the crowds back and gave the players plenty of room. There was one novel fea- ture in the game, the avpearance of the umpire in the uniform of a naval officer. The umpire was Lieut. Hubbard, and his decisions went without a question. To hi: credit, be it said, there were few chances to question his judgment had one been in- clined to do so, for his dectsions were fair and unbiased. If anything, he ve the visitors the best of it. The game was naturally a long and tedious one, for in the first inning it was seen that the only question was not which team would win, but by what score. Henderson, the pitcher for the cadets, may make a splendid naval officer some day, but as a pitcher the Georgetown men found him very easy, and pounded his delivery at will, The game was by no means devoid of interesting fea- tures, for a number of very clever plays were made. The young man who played shortstop for the middies proved himself to be a star player, notwithsianding the fact that his playing was not free from errors.

It was on the water, though, that the middies got their hardest setback. They had confidently expected to do up the Po- tomacs in the eight-oared race, and if there had been any betting on the result it would have been at heavy odds in favor of the cadets. The day beforé the race one of the prominent members of the Potomacs told a Star reporter that they had not the slightest idea of winning. All they wanted was the fun of an outing and a chance to inaugurate the boating season under such pleasant circumstances. A number of changes were made in the boat at the eleventh hour, and the crew were anything but hopeful. The two crews were made up as follows: Potomac Boat Club—One, Guy Davis; two, Corbin Ball; three, Dr, H. Cockerille; fou Samuel Boyle; five, S. Roulette; six, John J. Nolan; seven, M. Offiey; stroke, Joseph A. Oliver; coxswain, C. G. Warden. Naval Cadets—One, Mustin; two, Collins: three, Craven; four, E. McCauley, jr.; five, Overstreet; six, McCarthy; seven, Palmer; stroke, Kimball; coxswain, Hart. ‘The course was from the light house back to a line running out from the sea wall, so that the spectators had a splendid view of the finish. The wall and the decks and rigging of the old Monongahela, the Santee and the Bancroft were black with people ready to cheer on their favorites. It was a pretty race, and the time made was very wood, indeed. It was one of the most excit- ing races ever rowed on the Severn, and close from start to finish. The Potomacs crossed the line a length and a half ahead of the cadets, having gone the distance in B.28tp. The winners were loudly cheered and were royally treated by the cadets, both before and after the race. They were en- tertained at dinner in the big dining hall and everything possible was done to make their visit to Annapolis a pleasant one. The officials of the race were: Prof. J. W. Cain of St. John’s, referee; Josh Hartwell, starter and judge; Paul Dashiel of Yale, judge; Lieut. E. McCauley, U. S. N., and J. Hadley Doyle of the Potomacs, timers. ANOTHER SERIES LOST. . The Washingtons Lose the Fourth Straight Game at Cincinnati. The Cincinnatis were lucky in making their three hits with men on bases yester- day at Cincinnati. Errors lost the game for Washington. Coogan at short is dis. appeinting expectation. Saturday he made three errors and yesterday two. Three hits were made off Maul, but he sent six to first on balls. Louisville also lost, and conse- retained last place. \ CINCINNATI. RIL.

It was fifteen minutes before everybody got out, and the game went on. Then it was found that only three men were hurt. One had his side badly bruised, another a cut on the head, and a third an injured leg. A Criticism of the Washingtons, What a great club Washington would have if they had not parted with Farrell, Meekin, Killen, Sullivan, Mack, Tom Daly, Hoy, Wilmot and Joe Mulvey.—Philadel- phia Inquirer. The criticism {ts somewhat unjust. The Brotherhood fight took Tom Daly, Mack and Wilmot away. ‘THe management did not let them go. age mansesment sold Meekin and Farrel ivan and Esper; traded away Hoy and Killen, and let Mul- vey go because they“had Joyce to play third. Undoubtedly, the hegt team Washington has pag in yéars wag ihe i8v2 team, which finished tenth, witha percentage of .384. It was fatally defective at third base and lost many games because the position was neyer properly filled; ‘The pitchers includ- ed Knell, Killen, Gastright, Kilroy, Meekin, Abbey, Jones, Inks, \puryea, Dolan_ and Foreman; the catchers, McGuire and Milli- gan; the infield, Lavkfs, Dowd, Dan Rich- ardson, Hardie Richardson; the outfield, Donovan, Duffee, Radford and Twitchell. It was quick on the bases and stole more than Cincinnati, Louisville, Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburg,‘ Baltimore and St. Louis. 2 Other League Games. At St, Louis, Pitchers.

The first game of the season between Yale and Princeton was played at New Haven Saturday, and resulted in a victory for Old Eli’s sons. It was a battle of the pitchers, and the inability of Princeton to hit the ball was what caused her defeat. The play up to the seventh inning was clean and sharp on both sides, Princeton showing up in a form that was hardly ex- pected by Yale. In the seventh Altman struck out, Otto went out on a fly to Red- ington, Williams struck out. For Yale, Trudeau sent a fly to Bradley that was neatly taken. Stephenson knocked another to Easton that was easily caught. Quinby got his base on balls. Then came the un- expected. Speer went to the bat and smashed the ball out of reach of the Prince- ton fielders, and Quinby, like a deer, ran around the bases and crossed the plate. Speer was put out right at the plate.

Although the ‘niail-handlers hit the harder they made more errors than their opponents and this cost them the game. Wright and Raab were athe battery for the pensioners, and to them belongs most of the credit for winning the game.

Interesting Events Mark the Second Annunl Field Day. The sports of the second annual field day of the Chevy Chase Club attracted a large and distinguished crowd’ Saturday after- noon to the home of the organization, in Maryland, and the several events on the card were greatly enjoy The day’s fua began with the egg and spoon race, the conditions of which were that each rider should carry an egg in the bowl of a wooden spoon while riding 300 yards. Mr. Henry M. Earle, on Bullet, won this event easily, being the only participant who did not drop his egg. A hurdle race followed, with eleven en- tries, Mr. C. H. Stone, on his fine bay horse, Farewell, winning, with Mr. W. C. Mar- row, on’ Surprise, and Mr. Holloway, on Winchester, well ‘up. In the 100-yard “foot race, open only to club members, Mr. Henry M. Earle won in 114-5 seconds, Mr, Will Earle, second, and Mr, Otis, third. | A second hurdle race, open to horses un- der fifteen hands, was won by Mr. Hugh Legare’s Suzette; Mr. F. G. Newlands’ Madge, second, and Mr. H. M. Earle’s Bul- let, third. Mr. Benner, on Corinto, won the half-mile lash on the flat for owner-riders, Mr. De dilla being second, on The Moor, and Lieut. J. G. M. Blunt, third, on Baby. An am ng event was the dressing race, h each contestant was compelled at the drop of the flag to dress, saddle his mount and go dowy,the course 300 yards and return. The eniries were Mr. Henry Earle, Lieut. Edwards, Mr. De Padilla, Mr. Will Earle and Mr?'Phil Brown. Mr. Will Earle, riding Svengali, won easily. Mr. H. M. Earle was awarded the prize for obstacle tandem driving, handling the team of Mrs. Henry May, and the day’s sport closed with a contest in high jump- ing. Mr. Ferguson, on Mr. Perrin’s Ranger, cleared the bar at’3 feetu6 inches and won the championship, as,he did last year, Tro- jan refusing. The jather entries were Suz- ette, Apollo, Worcéster, Melten and Fare- well. j A number of dinners were given after the sports, and there was dancing later. ‘The stewards of the day were Congress- man Newlands, Lieut. Blunt, Lieut. Lans- dale, W. E. Earle, Montgomery Blair, Clare Moore, W. B. Hibbs and H. M. Earle, while W. C. Marrow was clerk of the course. Beaten by Princeton. Princeton's athletes had little troyble in defeating the Columbia boys Saturday in the fourth annval field meeting of these two colleges. The final score by points Princeton, 63 1-2; Columbia, 48 1-2. This was a disappointment to Columbia’s supporters, as for some reason, known only to themselves, they expected to win. Colleginte Records Broken. Harvard wes beaten Saturday by Yale in the fifth dual track athletic meeting. Har- vard has now won three times and Yale twice. The score by points was: Yale, 65; Harvard, 47, Yale won nine first prizes, six second prizes and elght third prizes. Firsts count 5 points, seconds 2 and thirds 1 point. . if In addition to this, Yale won the reiay race, which did not count toward the final total. The gzmes were, on the whole, as successful as could be desired. In spite of the weather there were fully 3,000 persons present, who stayed up to the final event. No less than five intercollegiate records wero broken, and, in addition, one record in the Harvard-Yale dual league. Capt. Hickok of the Yale team broke two records by a big margin; he threw the 16- pound hammer 129 feet 5 1-2 inches, the previous record, held by himself, being 123 feet 9 inches. He threw the big shot 44 feet 1 1-2 inches. His previous record at that was just 42 feet. In the bicycle race BE. Hill of Yale rode two miles in 5:12 3-5. Two Harvard men had a hand at break- ing records. C. J. Paine, after winning the high jump, with an actual height of 5 feet 9 3-8 inches, had the bar put up to 6 feet 5-8 of an inch, which was just 1-8 of an inch better than the intercollegiate record, held by R. Fearing of Harvard. He cleared the height on the first attempt. The other Harvard star was Hoyt, who won the pole vault at 11 feet and easily cleared it. California and Pennsylvania Tie. The Untversity of California athletes tied with the University of Pennsylvania in the track and field sports at Philadelphia Sat- urday. Only firsts were counted. Rams- dell, the crack runner of Pennsylvania, did not compete. Cricketers to Visit America. Arrangements have been completed by Mr. Scott of Philadelphia for a Cambridge iversity cricket team to visit the United States. The English cricketers will leave England on August 23, and will play a se- ries of matches at New York, Boston and Philadelphia, Speed of Cornell's Henley Crew. On the west side of Lake Cayuga, at Ithaca, N. Y., a course one mile and 550 yards in length, the exact distance rowed in the Henley races, has been laid out, and nearly every pleasant day the Cornell Uni- versity boat is sent over this course. Ham- ilton can now give his men a stroke of forty-six and maintain it for a good dis- tance. The Henley eight has already rowed ever this course in six minutes fifty-one seconds, the best time for the course at Henley, but this can be held to indicate little, as it is probable that the Ithaca course is faster than that on the other side. After the men get to work on the Thames it will be possible to make a more accurate prediction as to their chances of winning the grand chellenge cup. Many of Cornell’s enthusiastic supporters believe that the Henley crew will be the fastest eight ever sent out from Cornell, and that they will not only win on the other side, but will smash the British records. More International Racing. Mr. J. Arthur Brand, the well-known English yachtsman, a member of a yacht club of Dartmouth, England, will issue a challenge to race for the internationa! challerge cup established by the New York Yacht Club, with his new haif-rater Spruce IV, the races to be sailed on Long Island sound in September next.

Judge Cox, in the case of Mrs. Mary C. Morris against the Washington and George- town Railroad Company and the con- tractors who are engaged in building the foundations for the union passenger: sta- tion at 36th and M streets, has decided that the blasting may go on under the supervision of a commissioner. The suit was instituted last December by Mrs. Mor- ris, who complained that the use of ex- plosives had endangered her adjoining property, and asserted that their continued use woul! wreck her house. Temporary restraining orders were granted by Judge Cox, hut these the court has now dis- charged or modified, and has consented to a resumption of the blasting in the north- crn and western trenches. The use of the explosives is to be done under the super- vision of Mr. James P. Lowe, however, who is directed by the court to see that it is done without injury to adjoining property, and Mr. Lowe is directed also to repcrt to the court in the matter from time to time. —— Twelve Years on the Calendar. After being on the calendar for twelve years the suit brought by Henry B. Welles of New York city against Thomas Car- michael of London, to recover $30,000 for commissions, arising out of the sale of the Minnie Moore silver mine, was put on trial for the first time before Chief Judge Sedg- wick last week in New York, AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA A Quiet Sunday, With Well-Attended Ohurch Services. Several Fires and a Lot of Cotton Destroyed—Meeting in Regard to Colored Firemen, Yesterday was a typical spring Sunday, and the congregations in the various churcHes were larger than usual. In all the churches except Trinity Methodist the resident rectors officiated. In that church Rey. A. T. Meyers, a former rector, preach- ed both morning and evening. In the Bap- tist Church last night Rev. J. H. Butler, the rector, preached a speciai sermon to the Junior Order United American Me- chanics, and the church was crowded to its fullest capacity. The sermon was both interesting and instructive, and was much enjoyed by those who heard it. At the Railroad Mission Rev. Mr. Hinx of-Upper- ville preached an eloquent sermon, About [ four hundred Knights of Jerusalem, a col- ored organization, came down from Wash- ington and attended the service at Roberts Chapel, where the rector, Rev. Mr. Griffin, preached a special sermon, All day long the streets were thronged with strangers, many of whom took the electric cars for Mount Vernon, the Driv- ing Park and other points of interest around the section. The day was especial- ly quiet, and no arrests were made by the police, A Small Fire. At an early hour Sunday morning fire was discovered in a frame shanty two doors from Rice's store, on Hard corner, and an alarm was turned in, which brought out the entire department. The firemen got the flames under control in about half an hour, and prevented damage from being done to the adjoining bulldings. The fire is supposed to have been of an incendiary origin, and the police have arrested a negro named Isaac Johnson on the charg of having set fire to the building. Missed His Mark. There was some little excitement on the corner of Wilkes and Pitt streets shortly after 12 o'clock Saturday night, when a man named T. A. Herbert shot at Jesse Penn. From what could be learned of the affair, it appears that Penn had been pay- ing attention to Herbert’s wife, against his wishes, and on Saturday nignt Herbert saw Penn and came to the conclusion that he had been a little too intimate with his spouse, whereupon he pulled out a revolver and fired point blank at Penn, but for- tunately his aim was not true, and the ball missed its mark. Herbert was arrested. Cotten in a Blaze. Shortly after midnight last night fire was discovered in a box car lovded with cotton in the freight yard of the Washington Southern railway in the outskirts of the city. An alarm was turned in, and the en- tire department responded quickly, but ow- ing to the fact that the burning car was outside the water limit they were unable to go into service. An engine was hooked to the car and pulied it away from the other cars in the vicinity. The blaze could be seen all over town. The damage will amount to about $2,000, and is covered by insurance. A Special Service. There will be a special service at St. Paul’s Church Thursday night at 8 o'clock (Ascension day), when Rev. P; P. Phillips, the rector, will preach a sermon to Old Dominion Commandery, Knikhts Templar. The templars will be in full regalia, and the general public has also been invited to attend the service. Held a Secret Meeting. The Alexandria council of the Brother- hood of Locomotive Engineers held a secret meeting yesterday, as anticipated. All the engineers are keeping very quiet on the subject today, and nothing can be learned of what was done. It is certain, however, that a formal protest against the employ- ment of colored firemen*on the Virginia Midland division was drawn up, and will be presented to the officials. The meeting was held quietly, and there is no sign of a strike. Police Court. Mayor Strauss disposed of the following cases this morning: Bertie Day, charged With stealing $21 from F. A. Davis, fined $20 and sent to the workhouse for four months. Wm. Clark and Bertie Harris, charged with fighting, fined $2.50 each. Peter Lewis, charged with an assault on Elizabeth Fair, fined Isaac Johnson, charged with setting fire to the house oc- cupied by Sara Levi, dismissed for want of evidence. Lillie West, charged with un- lawful trespass, fined $2.50. Jno. White, charged with throwing a b at the house of Ernest Herbert, fined $: The mayor had Capt. Travers, the over- seer of the chain ga before him this morning to answer the charge of allowing prisoners to escape. Mr. Travers explained to the mayor that the shackles used were not secure enough and that it was an ea: maiter for any one to take them off. The | mayor told him that he would nothing this time, but if it ever heppened again that he would have to. remove him. He also notified him that if a prisoner started to run and would not halt when com- manded to do so, to use his gun, Notes.

ALBANS, VT. But little have in its Many Thousand Dollars’ Loss Caused Yesterday Afternoon. A disastrous fire swept St. Albans, Vt., yesterday afternoon, destroying dwellings, business blocks, public buildings and a large smount of other property. The loss will amount to thousands of dollars. Fire broke out in the lumber yard of W. B. Fonda and spread to the smith shop of Louis St. Cyr, Chisholm Brothers’ store, the tenement house and drug store owned and occupied by F. Eldred, the Crown Fur- niture Company building, Collins’ meat market, the blocks of Wood & Favro, J. H. Montifore and W. E. Dean, which were soon destroyed. The wind had increased and burning em- bers were carried to the large business blocks on Main street. The stores of W. S. Bailey and F. B. Morton, the Wallace Printirg Company’s building, the store of Lombard & Winthrop, Marceau & Vincent and Fuller's livery stables were soon in ashes. The goyernment building on Kingman street caught fire and was gutted. The Hill block, occupied by J. E. Welch and W. N. Adams, was burned to the ground. Then the Messenger building caught fire and burned fiercely for over half an hour, the fire extending to the block occupied by W. H. Ellis and W. B. Woodward's store. Moore’s marble works, Ryan’s grocery store and twelve tenement houses in the inity were destroyed. Shortly before 6 o'clock the Burlington fire department ar- rived, and all companies joined forces in an attempt to stop the fire on Main street. The aitempt was partially successful and the fire was checked about 6:39 o'clock, in time to save the more valuable blocks on Main street. The stores of A. L. Weeks, J. W. Lang and G. H. Harvey, however, were burned, and at this point the progress of the ‘re was stayed.
