The big Decoration day bicycle race meet held under the auspices of the Columbia Athletic Club will begin tomorrow morning promptly at 10 o’clock on Columbian field. Everything is ready for the occasion, and with hard work and favorable weather the track has been put in first-class condition and it may be put down as an assured fact that the fastest time ever made in the District will be scored tomorrow. ‘There are ten races on the program and some of these have so many entries that they will necessarily be run in. heats. Young W. Fred Sims, who lately broke the southern record and has come so close to the world’s record for a paced mile, will ride in class B, and a number of other crack sprinters are in the list, so that some heart-breaking finishes, may be look- ed for. Two events in class A and one in class B are handicap races and the handicaps were announced today by William T. Rob- ertson, the L. A. W. handicapper for the District of Columbia. The trial heats will be run off tomorrow morning and it is prob- able that the finals will begin about 2:30 in the afternoon, so that those who care to see only the finishes will not be re- quired to sit through the entire da; Tickets of admission are good for morn- ing and afternoon.

Wearing new ani jaunty caps of black, the Washington Base Ball Club appeared before 5,000 persoas at National Park yes- terday afternoon, having just returned from its first western trip of the season. A coterie of young and athletic-looking men, bearing “Pittsburg” across the front of their shirts, among others, were in at- tendayce, and seemed to have lots of fun with the local nine. Washington started off with a show of activity, but Connie Mack, from the play- ers’ bench, breathed a hypnotic wave across the grounds, and throughout the re- mainder of the exhibition the Schmelzites were, for the most part, like inanimate ob- jects. It being ladies’ day, the attendance was larger than it would otherwise have been, and the enthusiasm was great when Sel- bach, the first man up, hit to Bierbauer, and beat the ball to first. Joyce, who fol- lowed, promptly lifted the sphere to some- where in the vicinity of Le Droit Park, and the concourse almost burst with joy. That was all the home team could do, however, until the eighth, when the hyp- notic influence weakened just a little. In their half of the first the Pirates eas- ily tied the score. Donovan took first, Stenzel was hit, and both moved up when Beckley sacrificed. Donovan scored when Crooks dropped Smith’s high fly back of second, and Stenzel crossed the plate on Coogan’s fumble of an easy bounder from Bierbauer’s bat. In_ the fourth Bierbauer singled to left, and Clingman followed with a little one to the pitcher, who threw to second, but Coogan muffed, and both run- ners were safe. Clingman ‘sacrificed; Sug- den hit to Coogan, who fumbled, and then threw wild, Bierbauer scoring. Clingman trotted home when Hart singled, and both scored on Donovan's single. Stocksdale kept up the fun by hitting Stenzel, when Beckley hit to first,advancing his two prede- cessors. Smith drove to left, permitting Donovan and Stenzel te complete the cir- cuit, and Bierbauer ended the monotony by retiring at first. One more piratical score was made in the sixth. Donovan hit to right, and scored on Beckley’s three-bagger. In the eighth a quintet was added on hits by Hart, Don- ovan, Stenzel Beckley, and an error by Coogan. The final pair of runs for Washington were also made in the eighth on Coogan’s hit to center, a short passed ball, Abbey’s two-bagger, a sacrifice by Stocksdale and a double by Joyce. Washington had opportunities to’ score in several other innings, but failed to take advantage of them. The game was tire- some throughout, the only relief being two good catches by Selbach and a creditable pick-up and thfow to home by Crooks. The work of Coogan at short was a disappoint- ment to the speptators, who had been promised something different. Score: PITTSBURG. ommonnSand® 9 Sogucn 0} Hart,p. retenmoooeh ecococcoo™ x Washington.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA scat Johann Hoff has a suit son soe i The Qity Council Met and Transacted Rou- tine Business. A Robbery of a Sleeping Man—Pre- paring for the Decoration Day Exercises—Other Notes. ‘The regular semi-monthly meeting of the city council was held last night, with a large attendance in the upper board. There was a bare quorum in the lower board. Mr. Theophilus Ballinger was sworn in as a member of the board of aldermen from the second ward to succeed Mr. Charles Goodrich, who was recently elected in- spector of wood and bark. The bill for taxes on personal property, incomes, etc., for the ensuing year was read and adopted with some slight changes over the one of last year. The tax was fixed at $1.90 on the hundred, a decrease of ten cents from that of last year. The license law was passed with some changes over last year's. The liquor license was raised in several pare and the dog tax was reduced to $1.25. Application of J. K. Miller for the use ae an old pump well at the corner of Prince and Pitt streets was denied. The petition of E. E. Down- ham to erect a frame dwelling within the fire limits was refused. An ordinance to reset the curb on both sides of Cameron street between Lee and Fairfax streets was enacted, and passed; $100 was appro- iated for repairs and alterations to the Ohfice of the city engineer, and $75 was ap- propriated for repairing the sewer basin on Cameron street. * Robbed While Aslcep. Yesterday a traveling man, who gave his name as Paul Nicols and who repre- serts the Employers’ Liability Accident Irsurance Company, came to this city to get some information. He ran across a man named Charles Watkins, who furnish- ed the information, after which Watkins took advantage of his being a stranger and proceeded to show him the town. The two got pretty well loaded. They went to the Hotel Borans, on the corner of Prince and Royal streets, in the afternoon, where Nicols said he wanted to rest. They were given a room, when the stranger took off all of his clothes except his vest, in the inside pocket of which was about $21. The vest was buttoned up tight around him. When he went to sleep Watkins was in the room, and when he woke up Watkins was gone, as was every cent he had in his pockets, and his vest was wide open. The matter was reported to the police this morning, and it is being investigated. Watkins, it will be remembered, was fined $5 by the mayor several weeks for badly treating his wife. Mrs. Borans, the hotel keeper, says no one went into the room except Watkins. A special session of the mayor's court was held at 10 o'clock, and Watkins was sone to jail to await the action of the grand jury. ago Decoration Day Services. Davis Post, Grand Army of the Republic, held a special meeting last night to per- fect the arrangements for the Decoration day services tomorrow.

Clarence Ernest Ball; 13, taps, bugle, 14, salute, Alexamdria Light In- tent The exercises will commence at 2 o'clock. The national cemeteries are now in the most beautiful condition, and Capt. Davie and his comrades of Thomas P. Davis Post will use every effort to see that their hon- ored dead are properly remembered. The custom of decorating the graves of the 4,000 federal soldiers that lie beneath the sod in the National cemetery has been in vogue in this city for many years past, and both the blue and the gray contribute flowers for the decorations. Police Court. There were but two cases, and they of minor importance, before Mayor Strauss in the police court this morning. Frank Johnson, Ralph Holmes, Wm. Smith and James Smith, four negro tramps, charged with being suspicious characters, were or- dered to leave the city. Irvin Williams, colored, charged with assaulting and beat. ing David Minor, was fined $3 and costs. Local Council, B. of St. A.

The mayor has reduced the fine of Wil- liam Mullen, the Washington cabman, for cruelty to animals, from $50 to $25. The entertainment by the members of the Young Men’s Scdality Lyceum to their lady friends last night was a great suc- cess, and a pleasant evening was spent. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel G. Brent have gone to Richmond. Sarepta Lodge of Odd Fellows held a regular meeting last night and transacted routine business. The regular meeting of Golden Light Lodge, I. O. G. T., was held last night. Rey. Father Cutter is visiting in Fred- ericksburg. The fight for membership om the next police force promises to be a hot one. There are a number of applicants. It is more than probable that the entire present force will be re-elecied. The house of Mrs. Pettit, on the corner of Columbus and Gibbon streets, was en- tered by thieves last night and a lot of plunder carried off. —_———. ] THE EMMET GUARD FETE. It Has Closed After a Most Successful Run. The encampment and fete of the Emmet Guard closed last night, after a most suc- cessful run of ten days.
