Powell of the Epworth League of the Anacostia Methodist -Epis- copal Church has tendered his resignation on account of differences of opinion with the pastor, Rev. James McLaren, in refer- ence to the propriety of some amusements which were provided for the members of the league at a recent reception by Mr. Powell at his home, “‘Rose Croft,” in Prince Gecrge’s county, Md. A meeting of the league will be held shortly, when it is un- derstood action will be taken in the mat- ter, and it is said the members will refuse to allow Mr. Powell to give up his office in the society. ‘The members of the Epworth League and the M. E. Sunday school and church gen- erally were given a reception last night at the beautiful home of Mr. H. A. Linger, superintendent of the school, on Harrison street. The grounds were handsomely il- luminated, and every one of the large number present appeared to be thoroughly at home. A new system of collecting subscriptions due for building the church was adopted at a meeting of the trustees of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, held last night, and hereafter the work will be looked after by the trustees themselves, each of whom will make it his personal business to see a certain number of the delinquents, and if necessary, urge them to pay up. John Speed, an old colored man, who re- sides in that part of Hillsdale known as Mt. Zion Hfll, created considerable excite- ment for a time yesterday by standing at the head of a flight of stairs in his home and threatening to shoot Constable Gib- bons, who, with several assistants, had gone to the place to evict Speed and his family for non-payment of rent, although Speed claimed that no rent was due “by hin. The property, which has long been in dis- pute, belonged eriginally to an old woman named Mury Harter, to whom it was left by her husbard at the death of the latter. Under the terms of thé will the. property was, at Mrs. Harter’s death, to be divided equally among the eight children of the couple. Mrs.-Harter had, however, during her widowhood, borrowed $250 upon the place, giving therefor a deed of trust. Five of the heirs, it is alleged, joined with their mother in giving the deed, but three de- clined to do so. Among the latter was the daughter who subsequently became Mrs. Speed. The money was not paid when due, and the person holding the deed and not getting any rent, secured a judgment and writ of ejectment, which Constable Gib- bons yesterday went to serve. It is alleged that the constable and his men brcke through the door of the house with a hatchet, but they were unwilling to proceed further when they found them- selves confronted with the weapon in the hands of Speed, and Policeman Marr was sent for. His arrival served to quiet mat- ters,and Speed then threw down his weapon and stood by while his articles of house- hold goods were carried out into the street. The affair occasioned much feeling among the residents and Walter A. McKinney and William Miller became engaged in a fight over it. Both were arrested by Officer Marr and taken to the Anacostia substation, where, after depositing $10 collateral, Mc- Kinney was released. Miller was locked up. Rey. H. T. Stevenson and other prominent temperance men in Anacostia have deter- mined that Mr. Benjamin Mundell, who has applied for a license to open a Saloon in the town, shall not get the permission If they can prevent such action by the excise board, and are preparing to make a ight in reference to the matter. A large number of the members of the Christian Endeavor Society of Garden Me- morial Church will join a party of Wash- ington Endeavorers Friday morning and with them spend the day at the society's Home for Children at Falls Church, Va. The occasion at the latter is expecte one of great interest to all present. Mrs. M. M. North of Anacostia, who vas a delegate to the recent convention of press clubs in Philadelphia, reached home yes- terday morning and later went to Herndon, Va., where she, with her children and two nieces from Baltimore, are spending the summer. While in Philadelphia Mrs. North was the recipient of a number of valuable souvenirs, among them being a solid gold “buffalo” from the gentlemen who com- prised the delegation from Butfalo, N. Y. They also invited her to attend the con- vention which next year will meet in that city, to or not.

Washington dropped the last game of the series with Chicago yesterday. It was not a case of umpire, but simply and purely be- cause the local team could not bat safely. Five hits, widely scattered, were all that could be secured,and had it not been for the distressing wildness of Pitcher Terry in the first inning, when he gave five bases on balls, the locals would possibly have been shut out. Two of the four runs to the credit of Washington were forced in by Ter- ry’s inability to see the plate. Chicago's in- field was a stone wall. Dahlen covered him- self with glory by capturing liners and bounders that seemed to have through trip tickets for a safe territory, and if one man can be said to be responsible for the defeat of the Washingtons,it was the clever short- stop of the visiting team. Lange, too, in center field, covered a vast amount of ground and captured five flies, some of them headed for the outside no- where that is the bane to all pitchers. After the first inning, when the five gifts from Mr. Terry, a scratch hit by Hassamer and a fine two-bagger into left by Cart- wright netted four runs, the locals were unable to make the circuit of the bases, and, indeed, with but two exceptions. they failed to get men past first base. In the fourth inning Selbach reached first on balls and was sacrificed along to second by Joyce. In the effhth inning, with two out, Crooks hit a line one to deep right for three bases, but was unable to score, as Abbey popped out. The visitors got three bunches of hits, being completely puzzled, however, by Mer- cer’s delivery until the fourth inning, when, with two out, Lange hit to right for a base and scored on Everett's three-bagger to centet. In the next inning two hits over second and a bunt to third filled the bases, Dahlen lined one down the left foul streak for two bases and scored the third run of, the inning on Anson's sacrifice to Glass- cock. j In the eighth Selbach muffed Wiffnot’s fly after a hard run, and then a bunt hit to Joyce by Anson, a sacrifice by Lange to Glasscock and an unlucky tap that bounded jvst too high for Glasscock to field from Everett’s bat gave the visitors two runs and the game. Jack Crooks played his po- sition in fine shape, and took all of his seven chances. The score follows: WASHINGTON. | CHICAGO. RAE 5 le 0) Wilmc © Anson, 0) Lange, ct 1| Everett,3>..

GOOD WORDS FOR CORNELL, Rowing Like Machines and Making Their Bont Go Fust. LONDON, June 19.—Sporting Life says tae critics have voted the Cornell oarsmen shert and catchy in their style. ‘So they were,” says Sporting Life, “judged by the English standari; but even at the outset they cleared moze water than most people gave them credit for. In ten days they have improved wonderfully, both in body work and in tength of stroke. Our repre- sentative clock2d them yesterday from the Fawley boat house to the finishing point. "Phe regular crew timed three and a half minutes. Thon the four substitutes were given seats for the second trial, which oc- cupied four seconds longer. This was not bad, considering that the regulars were blown and half the crew were substitutes. Their best time over the full course since they have been nere is seven minutes, which shows that they are not so slow as y people would have them, They are ently in splendid condition, and can stay as long as they like. The best in- dersement of this as: m is the vast amount of work they did yesterday after- noon. They have done exceedingly well at the barrier test, and they got from gate to gate a long way inside a minute pace, comparing with the best Leander has shown. Their sleeved Jerseys are very irk- some, and there is scarcely a man of them who is not suffering from the chafing which necessarily follows the radical change which they have been called upon to make in their costume.’* Truth, commenting upon the Cornell crew, says: “Although not big men, they are strong and wiry, and they have been coached to almost machine-like perfection and a similarity of style that speaks vol- umes for thair coaching.

Their style, there- fore, is very different from that favored here. Over the Putney to Mortlake course they would aot have a chance. The Hen- ley course is very trying, and if they suc- ceed there will be a revolution in English rowing. But this is unlikely, and it is not improbable they will return with their no- tions of rowing considerably modified, for they are just as anxious as our men to pick up points. Of course, it would be a nasty blow to Engligh rowing if the Cornellers won tHe Grand; but, at the same time, it could not be won by better sportsmen.” Last year’s race was won in 7.22. The Henley record is 6.51. A. 0. H, Disqualified. The talent had slightly the better of it in the scramble between them and the nine chalkers of odds at the Alexander Island track yesterday, three favorites, a third and second choice and an outsider winning. The feature of the day's racing was the disqualification of A. O. H., which finished second in the third race, for fouling Billy Boy, the latter being given the place. West S'de, in winning the last event, ran the 6 1-2 furlongs in 1.22 1-2. The track was fast, the attendance large and the racing fairly interesting. The winners were: Adaxus, 15 to 1; Hippona, 5 to 2; Eclipse, 7 to 10; Mirage, 4 to 5; Forest, 5 to 1, and West Side, 2 to 5. Notes of the Game. At New York today. Better team work at the bat by the visitors. Mercer pitched good ball and does rot deserve the odium of losing the game. The local team has fallen off terribly in its batting in the past week. It was ladies’ day, and the grandstand was completely filled, every seat being taken. A large majority of these specta- tors were of the fair sex, who are accept- ing Messrs. Wagner's hospitality with en- thusiasm. The management should be censured for permitting drunken men to enter the grand- stand at any time, but especially on ladies’ day. Yesterday two men who were very much the worse for Hquor insisted upon crowding next to some of the ladies and made themselves very objectionable. Such! men should be ejected without ceremony. The series with the western clubs that has just ended showed that’the present team is stronger than it was last year. It is not often that Washington nas had a team that can win a majority of the games on its own grounds, but that this is the case this season was demonstrated in the seventeen games just’ closed, of which Washington won ten and lost seven. The results of the series were as follows: Won. Lost, With Pittsburg.. . 3 2 Louisville .. . 2 1 st Cleveland 1 1 “ St. Louis. 3 oO “Cincinnati 0 1 “Chicago 1 2 10 7 Gray Racing Bill Questioned. The question as to the constitutionality of the Gray racing bill has been argued be- fore Judge Bischoff in the special term of the court of common pleas in New York. ‘The question arose on a demurrer raised by the defendant in the action brought by John C. Dudley, who is the owner of sev- eral trotting horses, to recover $100, being the amount of a purse, and $75 added in sweepstakes, announced to be given by the Flushing Jockey Club at a meeting held on its tracks on. May 15. It was argued by counsel for Flushing Jockey Ciub that the law passed by the last legislature was null and void, as it authorized gambling, which was expressly prohibited under the constitution. Judge Bischoff took the papers and re- served decision. Some Good Road Riding. Edward R. Faxon, jr., a member of the Columbia Cycle Club of Hartford, Conn., reached the city Monday on his wheel. Faxon left Hartford at 6 o'clock Saturday morning, arrived in New York city, a dis- tance of 117 miles, at 4:10 that afternoon; left New York at 3 Sunday morning, ar- rived in Philadelphia at 2 the same after- noon, and left Philadelphia at 3 Monday morning, and reached this city at 7 o’clock that evening. He enjoyed a good rest yes- terday, being quite a little ahead of sched- ule time, and left for Harper’s Ferry this | morning. Faxon is trying to make a record of 1,700 miles for cne month, which will be easy for him if he keeps up the pace so far set. He proposes to travel through Connecticut, w York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ma- ryland, Ohio, Massachusetts and back to his home in. Hartford. Amateur Base Ball.
