The eastern championship games in doubles began yesterday at Narragansett Pier. Chace and Wrenn put up a splendid game, the champion from Chicago playing much better than at Norwood Park, and he is evidently trying to retrieve himself for his defeat by Larned. The summary: Doubles—Preliminary round—C. R. Bud- long and J. F. Talmage beat D. L. Ma- gruder and B. L. C. Griffith, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. J. P. Paret and E. P. Fischer beat S. D. Reed and A. Codman, 6-4, 10-8, 9-7. Davidson and Masson beat Watson and Ogden, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3. First round—John Howland and A. E. Foote beat Davis and Brooks, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3. Chace and Wrenn beat Herrick and Kear- ney, 6-0, 6-1, 6-2. Budlong and Talmage beat Thompson and Barton, 6-2, 6-4, 6-3. Paret and Fischer beat Davidson and Masson, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. Singles—Preliminary round—Foote beat Davis, 6-2, 6-4. At the end of the afternoon’s play there were only four of the original eleven teams left to play for the championship. Of the seven matches contested only one required more than three gets to settle the question of supremacy. The New York pair—J. P. Paret and E. P. Fischer—had some diffl- culty in both of their matches, though not another set reached deuce during the day. In the morning match between Paret and Fischer, and Reed and Codman, the latter team put up a stubborn defense, but the brilliant play and cteadiness of Fischer overcame this. In the last set Reed and Ccdman led at 5—3, and after losing the ninth game, secured a lead of forty love on the net, when three clever smashes in succession, two by Fischer and one by Paret, pulled the New Yorkers out of this deep holo. In the afternoon they met even greater opposition from Davidson of this city and Mason. The full five sets were required to settle the match, and the last set was played in semi darkness. Today the New York pair will meet Wrenn and Chace in the semi-finals, while Fiowland and Foote will be opposed by diong and Talmage. Neither of the teams stand much chance of up- setting their formidable opponents. Almost all the crack glavers are entered in the invitation singles, and play will bs started in earnest today. One match was played yesterday afternoon. ‘lke Neel brothers of Chicago, who will meet the winners of the eastern champion- ship on Friday, began practice yesterday afternoon, playing singles against each er. There 1s a strong “tip” out on Carr el for the singles next week at Newport, while the western team are thought to have an almost even chance against the eastern winners. —_—_——--— The Star Out of Town.

YAMPA WAS BEATEN The British Schooner Amphitrite Won Today's Race. GREAT REVERSAL IN FORM SHOWN The Foreign Yacht Won Without Time Allowance. MANLY SPORT IN GENERAL SS Eee COWES, Isle of Wight, August 14—In a nice, whole-sail, westerly breeze, this morn- ing, Mr. R. 8. Palmer’s crack American schooner-cruiser Yampa and Mr. Fred K. Wills’ English cruiser-schooner Amphi- trite started in a race for a prize of £100 over the old queen’s course. The contest grew out of the fact that when Yampa won Lord Iveagh’s 200-guinea cup on Wednesday last, over the same course, Amphitrite being second, Mr. Wills protested against the cup being awarded to Yampa on the ground that the latter carried nine men in excess of the number allowed by the rules governing the contest. Mr. Palmer did not deny this, but claimed that he could not have sailed his yacht with a less number of men. The affair finally resulted in an arrangement being made under the auspices of the Royal Yacht Squadron sailing committee that the question of superiority between the American and English schooners should be decided in a race today, both yachts being allowed to carry ail the men they pleased. Consequently, great interest was taken in the event, especially as a rumor fs in cir- cvlation here that should Defender fail to retain the America’s cup on the other side of the Atlantic, an American schooner will be sent after it next year. Amphitrite Wins Easily. Amphitrite won easily without her time allowance. She was sailed by Captain Gomes of the Meteor. The Start. Both yachts started at 10 o'clock. The course was fifty miles long, and the boats being sent away to westward, they headed first for ‘the Lymington Spit buoy, leaviag it on the starboard hand, and from there they passed West Cowes and a mark boat to the northward of the Prince Consort buoy, off East Cowes. Thence the course Was around the Bullock buoy, leaving No Man Fort to starboard and rounding the Bullock buoy to port, finishing off a flag- boat off West Cowes. Yampa allowed Amphitrite 7m. 41s. At the start the American schooner had the weather berth; but in the beat to the first mark, Lymington Spit, _Amphitnte drew ahead and rounded it with a good lead.

But after that Yampa pulled up considerably, for passing West Cowes, going eastward toward the Bullock buoy, Amphitrite was leading only by about a couple of minutes. ‘Yampa’s improvement, however, was ap- parently only of a temporary nature, for Amphitrite from that point on began to pull away in great style and had consider- ably widened the gap between herself and her competitor when nearing Ryde on the way eastward. Amphitrite’s Big Lead. ‘This state of affairs continued until in passing Ryde Amphitrite had a very strong lead. The times of the two yachts on pass- ing Ryde were: Ahphitrite . Yampa Thus A it of 13m. 28s., without counting her time allowance of 7m. 41s., which would bring her lead up to 2im. 9s., a rather hopeless lead for Yampa to cut down. But the Amer- ican schooner bowled along after her leader in gallant style, scudding along before the Wind with ail sails set snd pulling beauti- ‘ully. On the last part of the run toward the Bullock ouoy Yampa, doing some mag- nificent sailing before the wind, pulled up a couple of minutes or so on her leader. But Amphitrite was sailing like a witch and rounded the Bullock buoy with a com- fortable lead over the American schooner.

The British schooner, consequently, had lost 3m. 16s. of the lead which she had over Yampa on passing Ryde pier. But she still had a comfortable lead of 10m. 12s, which, with her time allowance of 7m. 41s., gave her.17m, 53s.. to the good over Yampa.

Consequently the British schooner won by him. 12s. actual time, and by 18m. 53s. counting her time allowance of 7m. 4is., which Yampa allowed her. CAUSTIC ENGLISH COMMENT. American Sportsmanship Pitiable Compared to John Bull’s. LONDON, August 14.—The remarks at- tributed to Michael F. Dwyer, the Ameri- car. horse owner, in interviews after ar- riving in New York yesterday, in which be is quoted as criticising his treatment in England, Fave been cabled here and are being severely criticised. The Sun, for instance, says: ‘Because Dwyer tnd his horses and his tailor-made jockey have not had matters all their own way here, he declares he has been swin- dled, robbed and hustled most abominably. We all know the stuff of which American sport is made, witout mentioning the ele- ments which go to make it.” The Sportsman remarks: “Clearly th2 latter (Mr. Dwyer) cannot be beaten at any price. Heaven help us if Valkyrie beats Defender. The eagle will have a fit!” The Westminster Cazette says: “If we take our American cousin at what recent events have shown him to be, it is not un- reesonable to estimate that we should have a very poor opinion of his sportsmanship. First we found Cornell unable to take a licking gracefully, and now the same thing appears in racing. Fortunately, we saw last year that American athletes are true sportsmen right through, and we know from long experience that American yachtsmen know how to behave them- Nicotine Neutralized CHEW AND SMOKE OAD POUCH TOBACCO.

Williams, president of the California Jockey Club, who went to Chicago and New York a few weeks ago to secure backing for the Bay District race track, is said to have failed in his mission, and as a result a local paper makes the assertion that the track will soon be abandoned. While horsemen recognize that San Fran- cisco is a good. location for one track, the preparations that Corrigan and Spreckels are making to open an opposition track next winter are said to have made them timid about investing at the Bay District. This timidity is said to have been intensi- fied by the likelihood that the next legis- lature would pass a law limiting the num- ber of days that racing may be held each year. Mishap to the Niagara. RYDE, August 14.—In the regatta of the Roya! Victoria Yacht Club today, Inyoni, Luna, Audrey, Niagara ard Vineta and Isolde started in the brace for the twenty raters over a 25-mile course. When Niaiz- ara had the lead on her competitors, off Ryde, her staysail carried away and she Was compelled to retire from the race. Audrey’ won the race, with Isolde second and Inyoni third. Battles of the Athletic Giants. LONDON, August 14.—The Sportsman has an article this morning, a column in length, discussing the relative chances of the Lon- don Athletic Club and the New York Ath- letic Club in their coming contest. The writer thinks the former ought to win the quarter and half mile, the three miles and the 100 yards events, while the hammer throwing and the long jump are good things for America, and the others are doubtful. “It will be a battle of giants,” the article says, “‘and we are confident that the Lon- don Athletic Club will secure seven events out of the eleven. “With regard to the Cambridge-Yale match, the quarter mile and the half mile are certainties for Cambridge, the hammer throwing, the weight putting, both jumps and the 100 yards are secure for Yale and the cthers are doubtful; but it is probable that Yale will win the odd event, and pos- sibly seven out of the eleven.” A New 100-Yard Record. CLEBURNE, Texas, August 14.—The world’s record for 100 yards was smashed at Cleburne, Texas, yesterday. Jim George beat J. B. Jennings for a purse of $1,000 in 93-4 seconds. The record for the distance is 94-5 seconds, held by H Bethune. Street Not Reinstated. SARATOGA, N. Y., August 14.—S. W. Street, who was ruled off for the alleged pulling of hig filly “Summertime” at St. Asaph track last April, but who was said to be in New York city when the offense took place, has failed to be reinstated. A’ peti- tion signed by President Edward Kearney of the Saratoga Racing Association, G. Walbaum and many other turfmen, asking for Street's reinstatement, or the privilege to sell his horses, has been untavorably considered by the Jockey Club. August Belmont says that the Jockey Club must rigidly adhere to its rules. SENATORS WON THIS. They Played Well and Hit the Ball Hard. The Washingtons luckily bunched their hits at Brooklyn yesterday and won the first game on their eastern trip. Stein was in the box for the Bridegrooms and Mercer for the Senators. Neither pitcher was hit hard. Mercer was effective when effective- ness was most needed. Selbach covered left field brilliantly and made a home run by lifting the ball over the left-field fence, the first time it has been done this season. BROOKLYN. | WASHINGTON.

WOULDN'T BE AN UMPIRE. 11 Unwilling to Be Puab- licly Abused. President Young of the National Base Ball League, discussing the names of men proposed for the staff of umpires, is quoted by a New York paper as saying: “I have a letter from Dan Campbell of Philadelphia, who, as everybody knows, is an excellent umpire, positively refusing to accept an appointment on the staff. His present salary is much smaller than $250 a month, with traveling expenses paid, but he it not willing to submit to the abuse that is now being inflicted upon an umpire. It is out of the question to talk about Lynch, for he will not umpire in the league this sea- son. Some of the very men who are de- manding the appointment of Tim Hurst and Charley Snyder have denounced them here in Washington and elsewhere as thoroughly incompetent. Umpires, like men in other walks of life, sometimes make a mistake, but this style of kicking against every close decision has been cultivated to such an ex- tent that it can only be rooted out by the strong hand of the men who are financially interested in the success and continuance of the league. There are some of the officers of the league who exercise a controlling in- fluence over their players, but there are others, I regret to say, who are disposed to encourage their men to believe that there is a scheme on the part of the umpires to de- prive them of victory.”” New York Must Be Proud of Him. Umpire Burnham wag the star feature of yesterday’s game at Philadelphia. Almost at the start the New York players began roasting him, and they kept it up until the last man was out in the ninth inning. Capt. Doyle questioned nearly every decision, and at the close of the fourth inning, when Reilly worked the business end of a double play by stopping Clarke's grounder, touch- ing Farrell out on the base line and throw- ing the ball to Bogle in time to head off Clarke, the New York captain rushed up to Burnham and called him a vile name. ‘The latter lost his temper completely, and after fining Doyle $100 put him out of the game. The two men had a wordy altercation, which ended by Doyle being ordered off the grounds.

SOME RELIEF FELT, Bat the Promised Showers Have No’ Materinlized Here. * Forecast till 8 p.m. Thursday—For New England and eastern New York, fair; warmer in the interior Thursday afternoon; variable winds, becoming southerly. For the District of Columbia, eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary- land and West Virginia, fair, followed by showers; slightly warmer Thursday after- noon; easterly winds. For Virginia, fair, except showers this af- ternoon and Thursday afternoon; easterly winds. Today's map indicates the cause of the agreeable relief from the excessive heat of the past few days. The area of high press- ure has moved from the upper lake region to New York, and this morning the easterly winds circulating above this high have brought in cool air from the ocean. In ad- dition, the rather rapid motion of the at- mosphere has caused a mixture of air strata to considerable heights, and this has also aided in the cooling. The temperature will reach about 85 degrees today, and perhaps a degree or two higher tomorrow. Friday the temperature will be about the same as Thursday, and quite a cool wave may be expected Saturday. The lowest tempera- ture ever noted at this season in North Montana, 34 degrees, or seven degrees be- low the coldest, is reported from Havre. The most interesting point on this map, however, is the incipient Gulf storm. As will be’ seen, the winds are circulating about the center of the Gulf from right to left, or the way one would turn a clock hands backward. There is also low mark- ed in the Gulf center. These indications point to a storm, which may develop to destructive violence. Special observations have been called for from Gulf stations,and these will show any farther development. These storms occur only in the fall of the year. They are commonly called West In- dia cyclones, but they should not be con- fused with ‘the more violent and more sharply defined western tornado. These West India storms have caused most serious waves and destruction of-property along the middle Gulf and South Atlantic coast. Condition of the Water.

OPPOSED TO A COLOR LINE Chairman Bradshaw's Views‘on the Repub- lican Oanvass. ' He Thinks the Movement to Elect White Delegates is Intended to Defeat Perry Carson. ‘The movement which some republicans here have set on foot looking to the elec- tion of two white men instead of one white and one colored man as delegates from the District to the next national republican convention, and which was: recently noted in The Star, is still exciting considerable discussion. The professed object of this movement was to further the cause of Dis- trict suffrage before the national conven- tion, but the friends of Mr. Perry Carson think they see in it only an ingenious at- tempt to defeat Mr. Carson. Mr. Aaron Bradshaw, chairman of the republican cen- tral committee of the District, in discuss- ing the subject with a Star reporter to- day, said: “It seems to me unwise and unrepublican for any man or set of men who are at all acquainted with the grand and patriotic principles of our party to attempt to spring the question of color. “It has been my privilege for many years past to have actively affiliated with the republican party in this District and else- where, and it is the first time that the ‘color line’ has been brought forward. I do not presume for a moment that the men who are attempting it in this District think where that question will land the republi- can party if it becomes fashionable to be a distinctive kind of republican, either of color or nationality. The question of dele- gates from the District will doubtless be, at the proper time, settled satisfactorily to all true republicans, and if it is the desire of the party here to select the two dele- gates, either white or colored. I can- not see who is to object. While I am not pledged to any particular person, I can readily see that the scheme outlined in The Star article is an attempt in an underhand manner to lay Perry Carson on the shelf, and I am sure it will not suc- ceed, because he is too well known in this city and to the great leaders of our party, who will, in the event of a contest, as threatened, finally decide the question. Such unrepublican proceedings will only hurt the parties concerned therein and will surely redound to Carson’s benefit. For one, I am opposed to such tactics, and will do my utmost to prevent such men from taking part in any republican meet- ing, for the reason that they are not re- publ:cans and should not be allowed to parade as such. Those people cannot be aware that there are enough colored voters in New York, Indiana and other states to carry those states for whichever party they may cast their votes. Spring the question of color or nationality within the republican party and the party is doomed, and maybe that is what these people se- eretly hope for. Certainly it cannot be supposed for a moment that two or three street contractors, perhaps for their own personal ends, by the employment of a few laborers, will be able to dictate who shall be the delegates from this District to the next national republican conventton. “Such a state of affairs is ridiculous and is an insult to the thousands of true re- publicans who make up our party here and who are quiet, orderly citizens, and who have always in the past, as they will in the future, given their most loyal sup- pert to our party and its grand and pa- triotic principles, to wit: ‘Equal justice to all and equality before the law.” “Let us hear no more of ‘the ‘color line. ———-——— Another Hope Story. “The Madness of Lord, Harry Culver- house,” by Anthony Hope, will be publish- ed complete in Saturday's Star, extensively and beautifully illustrated’.

Monday night last a perceptible change for the better took place in the condition of Justice Strong, whose illness at Lake Minnewaska, N. Y., has been mentioned in The Star, and the improvement ‘has con- tinued to such én exteac that a slight hope of his complete recovery is now indulged by his physician and family. HE WANTED SATISFACTION Mike Nolan Thought It Was Denied Him in the Police Court. He Assaulted Specialist Bailey of the National Museum—Sentenced to Three Months in Jail. Anacostia has turned up more fights and sensational stories during the past few months than any other suburban village. Last night the Moss-Scott fight made the village lively for an hour or more, and today two of Anscostia’s residents made things momentous in and about the Police Court. Those who figured in the pro- ceedings were Mr. George B. Bailey, a specialist at the National Museum, who is preparing exhibits for the Atlanta ex- position, and Michael Nolan, who couples cars at the Navy Yard car house. The former was in attendance upon the court as a defendant on charges preferred by a member of the Nolan family, and when Judge Scott dismissed the case Nolan, thinking he could not get justice, proceeded to take the law in his own hands by disfiguring Mr. Balley’s face, and now Nolan will live in jail. for three months. Young Michael Nolan is a lamplighter by occupation, and a few evenings ago, while lighting the lamps in Anacostia, Mr. Bailey’s dog caught him by the leg and, in addition to drawing the blood, made a hole in the boy’s trousers. Mr. Bailey was willing to do anything in reason. He was sorry that his dog had misbehaved in this way, and he was willing to repair the damage as far as he could, and in attempting to do this he offered tho boy’s parents $5 and a suit of clothes. There had been no doctor in attendance upon the boy, and consequently no ex- pense other than the purchase of a little liniment had been incurred. The Suggestion Spurned. But the offer of Mr. Bailey was not ac- cepted. The Nolans wanted him to raise the amount of money to $10, but this he declined to do. And so a dangerous dog werrant was issued, and upon this Mr. Bailey appeared in court. Judge Scott heard the complaint, and he also heard Mr. Bailey’s statement that he had sent the dog several hundred miles from here. “That’s far enough so he won't bother anybody here, then,” said the judge. “But,” ne added, “I believe in killing all biting ces.” He thought all the dogs in the world were not worth one child, and when there is any biting the animal should be killed. The court heard statements to the effect that the defendant could not bring about a compromise in the case. Under the con- ditions of the case the judge said he would dismiss the charge, and the several mem- bers of the Anacostia families started out of court. Nolan Attacks Bailey. Presently there was a scream heard near the front door and the audience made a rush in that direction. Mr. Bailey was standing there with biood coming from a wound over his eye, while his wife, who was hysterical, had been carried into Prose- cuting Attorney Pugh’s raom. Mike Nolan, who had dealt the blow, was running in the direction of Pennsylvania avenue, and Policeman Fitten managed to overtake him. When he returned there was a charge of assault preferred against him, and he plead guilty when arraigned before Judge Miller. Mr. Bailey said that when he got outside the court Nolan said to him: ‘‘And so the judge dismissed the case, did he?’ His query was followed by the blow. “This man's dog bit my boy,” said No- lan, ‘“‘and I can’t get any satisfaction.” Three Months in Jalil. “As you plead guilty and threw your- self upon the mercy of the court,” said Judge Mills, “I am going to be lenient with you. When people are brought here they are under the protection of the court, and this court is going to protect them. In conclusion the court told Nolan that if he had not plead guilty and had been regularly tricd and convicted he would have given him twelve months. In consideration of his plea, however, a sentence of three months was imposed. a FRIENDS OF PEACE. International Conference on Arbi- tration.

Davis’ Report on Last Month’s Operations. WORK 70 BE DONE ON THE CHANNEL Progress of the Repairs on the Aqueduct Bridge. CONTINUING THE SEA WALL se Maj. Davis has made a report to the chief. of engineers of operations for the improve- ment of the Potomac river during the month of July. The construction of the sea wall in the tidal reservoir was con- tinued. The weather being favorable, gocd progress was made, 750 linear feet being completed during the month. The wall on the northeast side was completed up to the bathing beach and work was commenced on the southeast side at the outlet. The total length of wall now constructed along the northeast side of the reservoir is 2,010 linear feet. The Training Dike. The construction of the training dike on the west side of the Virginia channel, was continued, and 2,062 cubic yards of riprap stone were put in place. The dike has now been extended 1,000 feet and built to a height of about four feet above low tide. The remainder of the stone to be delivered under the present contract—about 530 cubic yards—will be used in raising the dike, which is now from one to two feet below the required height of six feet. During the month the survey of the river front for the purpose of locating the harbor line along the Washington channel was completed. With this work the entire water front along the Washington channel has been located and connected with the system of city streets at points established by the olficials of the District of Columbia. Work to Be Done on the Channel. Maj. Davis says that the redredging of the nevigation channel between the Long bridge and the upper end of the arsenal grounds has been completed, but that the remainder of this channel from the upper end of the arsenal grounds to its junction with the Virginia channel is still to be widened to 400 feet and made 20 feet deep. The widening and deepening of the Virginia channel below the Long bridge, £0 as to facilitate the discharge of freshets and Prevent overflow in the city, is still incom- plete. All dreiged material is being depos- ited on the flats, and practically the entire area to be reclaimed has been raised over the overflow at-ordinary high tide. Kepnirs to the Aqueduct Bridge. In a special report in regard to the re- pairs to the Aqueduct bridge, Maj. Davis says that the repairs to piers Nos. 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8, by means of concrete put in place by a diver, have been completed. The concrete has keen protected from the action of freshets by means of riprap stone. The cofferdam about pier No. 4 has been put in place and pumped out, and the repairs of that pier have been practically completed. The small inner dam, described in the re- port for June as having been successfully driven to solid rock and pumped out, was cleared thoroughly of. all -debris during July and filled in with concrete, so as to form a footing course for the masonry. This was considered the best method of leveling up the irregularities of the bed rock, the elevations and depressions of which, formed of nodules and pot-holes, varied in depth from 22.7 to 31 feet. The concrete filling was leveled off at 24 feet and the projecting spurs of rock were cut off level at this elevation. The first course of masonry was laid on the 13th, and after the 22d progress was hastened by the em- ployment of two shifts of masons. All of the new work was practically completed by the end of the month, and the three ecurses of the overhanging ice breaker re- moved to facilitate the work were replaced. The new masonry was toothed into the old, and the projecting courses of the old work at its junction with the new were under- pinned with rubble masonry. An examina- tion was made to determine the character of the foundation of the pier along that part not repaired, and the same state of affairs was revealed as at the west, or up- stream, end of the pier, viz., that the criginal masonry is buiit upon a foundation of small riprap, yery loose and apparently thi®wn in without any attempt at clearing off the bed rock. The, depths. to bed rock in these pits varied from 24 to 28.5 feet be- low low water. eord Eastern Branch Bridge. An appropriation of $3,500 was made in the District of Columbia act approved March 2, 1895, for a survey, plan and esti- mate of cost of a bridge across the East- ern branch of the Potomac river at cr be- low the foot of South Capitol street. Major Davis says that the survey was begun in the field July 24, and a part of the hydrography was completed. Field work on this survey will be continued during the present month.
