SKIPPER BRAND A GAME SPORTSMAN Had No Excuses and Took His Beating Like a Man. STEAM LAUNCH INTERFERED ‘The American half-rater Ethelwynn de- feated the English challenger, Spruce IV, for the Seawanhaka cup yesterday, in the Oyster Bay course, opening Into Long Is- land sound. Ethelwynn won by 7 minutes 41 seconds. It was the first of a series of three races. The boats turned the home buoy on the first round as follows: Ethelwynn, 3:02:02; Spruce, 3:09:15. On the second run out to the mark Ethel- wynn was first to turn that buoy at 3:36:58, while Spruce-did not get there until 3:42:03. After going around the outer mark the second time the contestants again stood in along the Long Island shore, and there was @ good deal of reaching in getting home, the wind having hauled well to the south- ward. Ethelwynn passed the line first at 4:47.15. She was greeted with the usual shrieking and tootings of the assembled fleet of observers. But the good, game Spruce, who-came along at 4:54:56, or 7 minutes and 41 seconds behind, received as royal a welcome as did the winner. A Game Sportsman, When Spruce IV crossed the line, al- though nearly eight minutes vanquished, Skipper Brand showed his gameness by joining with his sailor lad, “Wade of Wivenhoe,” in “three times three” for his rivals, though Ethelwynn was then in tow and out of earshot. Later, when Spruce IV, in tow of a pri- vate launch, came up with her competito. on the way in, OWner Field and his helms- man, Mr. Ball, joined both friends on their towing launch, in several rounds of cheers and a tiger for Mr. Brand, Spruce IV and Wade of Wivenhod. And the pleasaniest part of it all was that on the club float, where boat rivals met, there was the jolliest of handshaking, the while Brand begging for a bottle of ginger ale, because his water bottle sprung @ leak before he was half through the race, and, as he said: “My boy Tom and I want a bit of a swallow; no, nothing to eat, thanks.” To Owner Field and his skipper Mr. Brand offered heartiest congratulations, as he said: “You did do us right lively on the wind today, didn’t you, though?” Steam Launch Interference. Mr. Brand has no complaint, he sald, to make against the steam yachts and excur- sion boats that were following the racers, except in the instance of Mr. Colgate Hoyt’s steam launch, which got in his way just be- fore the start and interfered with his cross- ing of the starting line. “But,” said Mr. Brand, “don’t think for a moment that I am making a claim that the incident would affect the result. I was beaten, and well beaten.” A Cause for Rejoicing. The London Times, commenting upon the new challenge for the America’s cup, says: “It is satisfactory to find that the unto- ward circumstances of the race netween Valkyrie III and Defender have not pre- vented immediate preparations for another friendly contest. All that Mr. Rose asks is a clear course, and until a race can be sailed under such conditions as will make it a test of seamanship and will eliminate accidents due to a crowded waterway it will not be'regarded by the people of this country with the interest and respect it would otherwise demand.” Commenting upon a letter from Shepard Homans in defense of the regatta com- mittee of the New York Yacht Club, who were bound by a deed of trust, the Times says: “It would seem as though everything connected with this cup {is in the grasp of the dead hand and that nobody ts to blame for the deadlock. We can only suggest that the cup and trust deed should be care- fully deposited in the strongest strong room New York can boast, and some other object should be found for which the yachtsmen can sail races under conditions of rational freedom and elasticity.” Rose’s Challenge Acknowledged. ‘The New York Yacht Club has replied to the communtieations from the Royal Vic- toria Yacht Club and Mr. Rose asking for = Fine Merchant Tailoring.

Jack Crooks’ Home Run Tarned De- fent into Victory. ‘The game yesterday between the Wash- ingtons and New Yorks deserved a much larger gathering than that which witnessed it, but a thousand persons seeing one of the best games of the season played here. The team of alleged giants from New York pre- sented Rusie as their strong man, with the gentle Jack Doyle to back him up. When they tcok their places on the field they re- marked that they had a pudding, or words to that effaet, and they labored under that impression until the eighth inning, when, with the score 7 to 6 in their favor, Jack Crooks put the ball over the fence in front of the bleachers, sending in McGuire and Selbach ahead of him. ‘Then the next two men were put out, and Hurst decided that further play was im- Fessible, because of the darkness. Mercer ard McGuire formed the home battery, and the youngster again proved that he is, just now, at least, a crack-a- jack. Both teams scored twice in the sec- ond inning. With two men on the bases, Doyle hit what most of the spectators be- Neved was a foul to left, scoring the men on the bags. Then, with a man on first, Crooks hit what many believed was a foul to right field, whith luckily bounded over the fence, two runs resulting. The visitors scored two each in the fourth and fifth, and with one in the sixth they rested. The home team got two each in the fifth and seventh, and then Crooks did the rest in the eighth. Demont secured three hits, a triple and two singles, and also played a fine game at short. The boy is evidently a great find, Jack Crooks got two homers and a triple, and played without an error, &s did the rest of his comrades, Score: WASHINGTON. NEW YORK. R.H.O.A. R.H.

Manager Hanlon of the Baltimores has announced that he is confident his team would win the pennant. He expects to eap- ture three games from the Phillies and to lose not more than two, if any, to New York. He does not believe the western clubs are throwing games to Cleveland, but thinks Pittsburg might have used some other pitcher on Saturday besides Moran, who liad pitched the Thursday before. Manager Irwin of Philadelphia says Balti- more will win the pennant, but that the Orioles will have to fight hard. “I do not think the western clubs are pur- posely Ising games to Cleveland,” he said. “All the western clubs, except the Cleve- lands, showed up weak on their last eastern trip, and now that the clubs have returned home they are not any stroager. Cleveland, as the best «club, must win from them. T think it probable that the Louisville will take a game from the Clevelands. “Base ball is an honest sport, and I am sorry to hear’ that many persons think the western clubs are helping Cleveland to win the pennant. The game is played on its merits at all times.”” WESTERN BASE BALL LEAGUE. Indianapolis Wins the Pennant— Standing of the Clubs. President Ban, B. Johnson of the West- ern League of Base Ball Clubs has’ just prepared the following official report of the relative standing of the clubs during the season that closed on Syndsy. Here is the order in which the clubs stand, according to the percentage of games won, calcu- lated on the whole number of games play- ed by cach club; Indianapolis St. Pavl.... Minneapolis... President Johnson says*that on an aver- age the clubs made one-third more money than they did last year, also that not one of the eight clubs failed to make money. He says thet there is a prcspect of a change in the sircuit next year, that Terre Haute will be left out and Coluinbus, Ohio, accepted instead. ‘The annual meeting of the Western Base Ball League will take place at the Tremont House in Chicago Thursday, September 26. TEBEAU’S POSTPONED GAME. He'll Play if He Needs It, but Anson Thinks He Has a Say. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from Chicago, September 23, says: The base ball public of Baltimore is probably counting on something from the Chicago club that Anson and his men will be unable to furnish. That is a defeat of the Cleveland club. The reason is that Mr. Oliver Tebeau means to dodge the issue. The only game remaining between these clubs was the one stopped by rain in this city August 10. The three games scheduled here for today, to- mcrrow afid Wednesday were by agreement changed to dates earlier im thé season, and, accordingly, the Clevelands were not to come here at all unless by special arrange- ment. Yesterday they were, however, to pluy an exhibition game against the Whitings, and Capt. Anson wired from St. Louis suggest- ing that the two clubs play off the postponed game here tcday. ‘Teveau replied that he would be willing to play off the game in Cleveland, but not here in. Chicago, to which Uncle Anson sald: “The game stopped by rain was to be played in Chicago, and that's where it ought to be played of Capt. Tebeau replied ao “If we find that the game will do us any we will come back to Chicago on M y, September 30, the last day of the season, but otherwise we will let it go.” { Capt. Anson, who returned from St. Louis today, said in regard to u’s latest idea: “Well, I suppose I will have some! say as to whether we play the game next Monday. We are anne in a fight with Boston, and if I find thattt may hurt us to play the Clevelands next Monday I may not do it. “I have given them chance to play the game, as I believed I should, notwith- standing it might heave pect, better for the interest of the $400 or that I stand to win if I beat the Boston out, to go up against Cleveland at all; but I dont feel like making every concession.” 8 In view of the fact thatCleveland original- ly had three games sckeduled here this week, it would seem that Tebeau ought to have played off the postponed game in this city one of these three days, as Cleveland remains idle until Saturday. On the other hand, Cleveland already has played seven games here this year, the Ohio men consent- ing to transfers eariy in the season in order to profit by the big Sunday crowds. Chicago has won six out of the eleven games, and Tebeau evidently feels as if ke had better fight shy of Anson’s men, on the Chicago grounds at least. ‘ Base Ball Notes. Washington standing today, .828; a year ago, .852. Brace up, you Senators, if you want to beat last year’s record. Manager Mack has given another Pirate his walking papers. John Corcoran, the young shortstop bought from the Virginia League, has been left at his home in Cin- cinnati. = Mack has issued an order that all of the Pirates must be in bed hereafter at 11 p.m. “I've been a little liberal with them,” he said, “but I want to get six games this week, if possible.” Merritt of the Pittsburgs has been ac- eldentally hit by a thrown ball in practice, and so badly hurt that he will catch no more this seasgn. Washington is sure to finish tenth and the Senators will divide President Wegner’s fal is crowding Brooklyn for fifth place. Hurst and Emslie will umpire the Temple Cup series. Boston outbatted Brooklyn and won in the ninth. Taylor and Clements will be the Phillies’ battery today unless Manager Irwin changes his mind and puts Orth in to stem the tide. Cincinnati is trying hard to beat New York out. If Chicago slips a cog Boston will finish In fourth place. Billy Hulen of the Minneapolis team has been signed for the Philadelphia team. He is said to be the cleverest infielder in the Western League. There is no improvement in the condition of Harry Wrignt, who has been at Atlantic City for the past week. Yesterday another physician went to Atlantic City, and after consultation with Dr. Bennett, it was thought advisable to eall in Prof. Pepper, who will examine Mr. Wright today. Considerable surprise was expressed yes- terday at the poor showing of the local team, as indicated by the percentages pub- lished in The Star. Crooks is the only local player with a fair rank as fielder. Brown showed a remarkable turn of speed yesterday. He has fallen off in his batting greatly. If he could bunt he would come pretty near beating the ball every time. It makes no difference’ how good an um- pire is, he is abused just the same. No umpire has been treated worse than Hurst was yesterday. The fitst element of a true sportsmanship is to take adversity with equanimity, in short, “grid and bear it.” NATIONAL RIFLE, ASSOCIATION. A Series of Matches to Open Octo- ber 5. Active operations in‘tontection with the American National Rifle Association were set going last night af a meeting of the beard of directors. Authority was granted for the purchase of such targets and other material as may be neéded, and it was de- cided to open the series of association matches Saturday, October 5, at 2:15 p.m., on the National Guard range at Ordway. Precisely what prizes will then be offered is not known, but withfp forty-five days the Cirectors will formulate a program which will, it is understood, be attractive enough to give the association a good start. ‘The National Guard. authorities have con- sented to the association having the ex- clusive use of the range each Saturday the whole year around. For the present most of the prizes will be cash, and there is every lkelihood of them being large enough to tempt quite a crowd out to Ordway Sat- urday afternoons. The directors elected to membership in the association were Lieut. A. Q. Hutterly, Capt. Wiggins and George C. Stambaugh. A number of appll- cations for membership were received and will be acted upon at the next meeting. INTERESTING POLO MATCH. Myopias and Westchesters to Play Today. Ore of the most interesting polo matches in this country since the English team visited us several years ago will be played. at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, today between the Country Club of Westchester and the Myopias of Hamilton, Mass., the crack country club near Boston. The winners of this game will line up against the Rock- aways to decide the Polo Association cham- Pionship. The trophy will be the famous gold cup presented by William Waldorf Astor through the Tuxedo Club. The Westchester Club will be made up of L. Waterbury, O. W. Bird, T. M. Waterbury, jr., and E. C. Pomes, and A. P. Gardner, R. L. Agassiz, R. G. Shaw and F. Blackwood Fay will represent Myopia. There will be three periods, twenty minutes each, actual play, time betw2en goals and delays not counted. THE ENGLISHMEN WON. Result of the Match With the Phil delphin Cricketers. The English university cricketers made enough runs in their second inning yester- day afternoon on the grounds of the Ger- mantown Cricket Club to win. Druce, the star bat of the English team, made the top score of the inning—57—and the victory is largely to be ascribed to his fine form, and the splendid stand made by Wilson and Arkwright towards the end of the game, the latter being caught by King in the slips for 35, when the score stood 202 for seven wickets. Geo. 8S. Patterson, the American, made the top score of the game, scoring 109 in the first inning and 67 in the second. Ralston scored 53 in the first. Outside these the American batting was weak. Robinson was the last man out, and was followed by Lowe, who scored the winning run by a cut to the ropes, Wilson carrying his bat for 20. About 5,000 people witnessed the day’s play, in spite of the intense heat. = Runs at fall of each wicket: First innings —Philadelphia, 6, 14, 24, 227, 61, 154, 184, 188, 210, 234; Oxford ana Cambridge, 6, 5: 89, 110, 112, 123, 130, 139, 156, 156. Second innings—Philadelphia, 87, 63, 69, 88, 88, 104, 111, 115, 115, 438; Oxford and Cambridge, 32, 42, Ti, 109, 140, 146, 202, 216. —— THE CAMBRIDGE-YALE GAMES. Indications That the Meeting Will Be a Big Social and Athletic Succes: Since the New York-London Athletic clubs’ games of Satuyday, additional in- terest centers about ithe -Yale-Cambridge Field. Both the teams‘are’in training, and if the weather grows goméwhat cooler the visiting English athletes expect to make a considerably better showing than the Lon- Goners made Saturday last. : LONDON ATHLETES ACCEPT. Cambridge Has to Be Heard From Be- fore the Mcet is Assured. The University of Pennsylvania athletic authorities have received assurances from the London Athletic Club team tnat they will gladly accept an invitation from the University of Pennsylvania to contest a series of events such as Was suggested by Pennsylvania to them and to the Cam- bridge athletes. Upon the reply from the Cambridge athletes depends whether the meet be offered or not. If a meet is to be held it will be upon Oc- tober 9. Some of the Cambridge athletes desire to return immediately to England. It would not be possible to secure their con- sent to stay in this country any that time. They desire to visit Niagara Falls after the Yale meet, and it is thought it will be convenient for them to go to Phil- adelphia on their return. No_ extensive training will be necessary for the purpose, ence ey jeopardize nothing by the con- As for the London Athletic Club team, they will remain in this country until Oc- tober 5 in any event, contesting in the = that dat Th ay Srtraty’ os = yt on e. They are en! le to staying a few days longer. a NO CHALLENGE FROM HARVARD. The Tigers, However, Would Gladly Play the Crimson. The foot ball season began in earnest at Princeton yesterday, when the candidates lined up in a practice of twenty minutes. Notwithstanding the heat, the men played with considerable snap, and gave promise of developing into capable material. Gailey of last year’s scrub returned to the game, and was stationed at center on the ’Varsity. He served an apprenticeship under Balliet of tre '93 team and Riggs of last season’s eleven, and will probably remain on the ’Varsity this year. > “Beef” Wheeler, Johnny Poe and “Doggy” Trenchard will coach the team during the week, after which King and Fine will as- sume the responsibility. It is rumored that Trenchard will return to college and play at end, but the undergraduate body have greater confidence in Smith and Cochran, and think the team better off when freed from the old managemenrt and system of training. cs Manager Millbank stated taat all reports of Harvard having sent a challenge to Princeton are false. The management ex- Pect no such action on the part of Harvard, although any overture will be welcome news in the Princeton camp. The team yes- terday was made up as follows: Ends, Smith and Cochran; tackles, Lea and Rhodes; guards, Church and Riggs; center, Gailey; quarter, Poe; bac! A Suter, Reiter and Banner, Sry eats TO PREVENT THE BIG FIGHT. Attormey General Crane of Texas After an Injunction. CHICAGO, September 24.—A special from Austin, Tex., says: “It was learned last night that Attorney General Crane is ar- ranging to sue out an injunction in the district court of Dallas county to restrain the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight. If the judge grants the injunction, which he doubtless will, then the fight management in self-de- fense must appeal the matter to the court of criminal appeals, with a full bench, and thus play directly into the hands of the state, becouse to get it before this full bench for a decision is exactly what the state wants, as it is believed a full bench of the ccurt will reverse Chief Justice Hurt’s individual opinion. “It is well known that Gov. Culberson does not propose to accept Judge Hurt’s opinion as final, and says he wants a full court's opinion or nothing.” A Row at a Prize Fight. The Leonard-Gehring fight at the Eureka Club of Baltimore last night ended in a riot in the third round. Leonard knocked Gehring out, and the spectators threw bot- tles at him. Police and spectato-s allke got mixed up in the row. Dan McConnell and Billy Duke fought a draw. The spectators hissed the decision. Bob Kneebs Expelled. Bob Kneebs, the horseman, who was ar- rested in Germany for alleged “ringing” of horses there, has received notice that he has been expelled from the American Trot- ting Association. The expulsion is the re- sult of the trouble in Germany. Kneebs says that he will protest the decision of the board. Kneebs has a large number of horses entered in the Sioux City fair races, and has been driving on association tracks all summer. A Long Bicycle Ride. Louis M. Kruger returned Wednesday, after a twenty-one days’ bicycle trip through Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, riding 1,241 miles. He made nine centuries, each century being made side of 9 hours 30 minutes. He made the trip from Washington to New York in two days and eleven hours; dis- tance, 341 miles; time in saddle, thirty-one hours ten minutes. Mr. Rone’s Colt Beaten. NEWMARKET, September 24. — The Newmarket first October meeting opened today, and among the events scheduled was the Triennial Produce stakes, for which only three horses ran. Lord Dur- ham’s Son O’ Mine won. Mr. Charles Day Rose's entry, St. Hilaire, a bay colt, by St. Simon, out of Distant Shore (Distant Shore is the name selected by Mr. Rose for his America’s cup challenger), took sec- ond place. Simonburn was third. Baas A CURIOUS ACCIDENT. How a Crooked Umbrella Handle Threw a 7th Street Wheelman. A funny incident took place on 7th street, opposite the Post Office Department, yes- terday noon. A lady holdirig a child on one arm and an umbrella under the other, with the handle behind, started to cross the street toward the department building, and as she stepped from the sidewalk a loop in @ loose rope hanging from the center of an awning caught in the curved handle of the umbrella and held on until she had nearly reached the car track. Then a man came riding down street on his bicycle, attempt- Ing to pass between the lady and the side- walk, but the rope, which by this time was just high enough from the ground, caught him under the chin and threw him. The lady was startled by the sudden jerking back of her umbrelia, and looked around just in time to see the rider taking his seat on the stone pavement in a very emphatic manner. No one was hurt, and everybody jaughed but the bicycle man. ——.——__ WOMAN’S CONGRESS OPENS. Gathering of Many Brilliant Persons at Atlanta. The woman’s congress opened yester- day at Atlanta, Ga., with a memorable and interesting program, in which many dis- tinguished women from distant cities were represented. The auditorium on the wo- man’s building, more properly known as the Assembly Hall, was thronged with “spectators, and the different addresses were received with enthusiastic applause. The occasion was in every sense brilliant and gratifying. Mrs. Loulie M. Gordon, the chairman of the committee on con- gresses, labored to bring representative women from all over the world to the south through the medium of her cepart- ment, and succeeded. The advance pro- gram shows a splendid list of brilliant and brainy women, and the people of Atlanta have cause to expect a series of instruct- ive and interesting papers, embracing in subject all the topics of the day. Mrs. Gordon opened the exercises of the day with a few well-chosen remarks. Mrs. W. H. Felton was made chairman. She in- troduced Mrs. Joseph Thompson, presi- dent of the woman’s board. She made the speech of the day. The congress will be- gin business toda; See MISS VANDERBILT'S “DOT.” It is Said That It Will Reach Ten Mil- Hion Dollars, Mr. Chauncey M. Depew yesterday re- turned to New York from Newport, where he is supposed to have been on a mission of peace to patch up the differences be- tween Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt and her former husband's family, in anticipation of the approaching marriage of Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt to the Duke of Marlborough. Mr. Depew looked very happy and as though he had accomplished the object cf his visit. Her dowry will, of course, be a large one. Ten million dollars is the sum gen- erally mentioned. In addition to the $10,000,000 dowry, Miss Vanderbilt will have $50,000 a year, which sum goes with every Vanderbilt sirl for pin money. Mr. Vanderbilt called upon his daughter at the marble house yesterday, in thé ab- sence of Mrs. Vanderbilt, and was with her for an hour. M. E. Stinson of St. Louis shot and killed Miss Arta Moore of Panora Sunday at ee cies Towa, and then committed sui- cide. A RARE OCCASION The Governor of Vermont and His Staff Entertained Handsomely, SOLID WASHINGTONIANS “MEET THEM Col. Myron M. Parker the Host of a Memorable Banquet. TOASTS AND SPEECHES The governor of Vermont and his official staff, who have been to the southern battle- field celebrations and Atlanta, were the guests of Col. Myron M. Parker at a ban- quet at Chamberiin’s last night. Col. Par- ker is a member of Gov. Woodbury’s steff, but it was as a Washingtonian that he ap- peared as host, although he lost none of his readiness to do and to dare in behalf of his beloved green mountain state. As a Wash- ingtonian, also, he invited to meet his friends from the far north some of the men of the natioral capital who, like himself, have been and are identified with its best interests and its material welfare and de- velopment. The gentlemen who sat down were Col. Parker, with Gov. Woodbury on his right and Lieut. Gen. Schofield on his left; Lieut. Gov. Z. M. Mansur of Island Pond, Brevet Maj. Gen. William H. Gil- more, quartermaster general, of Fairlee; Brig. Gen. Edw. L. Bates, judge advocate general, of Bennington; Brig. Gen. James N. Jenne, surgeon general, of St. Albans; Col. Heman W. Allen, inspector rifie prac- tice, of Burlington; Col. Silas W. Cum- mings, aid-de-camp, of St. Albans; Col. Geo. W. Doty, aid-de-camp, of Morrisville; Col. Henry W. Hall, aid-de-camp, of Burlington; Col. Robert J. Coffey, aid-de-camp, of Ben- nington; Col. John J. Warden, aid-de-camp, of Boston, Mass.; Col. Albert B, Chandler, ald-de-camp, of Brooklyn; N. Y.; Capt. Herbert E. Tutherly, United States army, assistant adjutant general, of Burling- ton; Max L. Powell, secretary civic and military affairs; Corporal Edw. P. Wood- bury, V. N. G., of Burlington; Congressman. Wm. W. Grout of Barton, Maj. A. B. Val- entine of Bennington, State Senator Elias Lyman of Burlington, Maj. Albert G. Peirce of Burlington, and Maj. A. L. Bailey of St. Johnsbury, Mr. Henry A. Willard, Mr. Brainard H. Warner, Mr. Chas. J. Bell, Col. A. T. Britton, Mr. John W. Thompson, Mr. Crosby S. Noyes. and Gen. William Mahone, The brilliant gold trimmings of the uniforms worn by the officers added to the attractiveness of a picture that was in every respect striking. The guests sat down shortly after 7 o'clock, this early hour being nec- essary on account of the departure of the governor and his staff on a before- midnight train for the north. After the courses and the wines had been concluded and the cigars were brought on, Col. Parker arose and said that it was customary at dinners in Washington to taboo speech- making use there were so few men who could make really bearable after-dinner speeches. On the present occasion, how- ever, things were different. He had brought the governor and the lieutenant governor and the representatives of the solid and substantial state of Vermont together on this occasion in order that they might meet the representatives of the enterprise and en- ergy which made Washington city what it is today. To the gentlemen from Vermont he gave his assurance that the citizens of the national capital, with whom they were associating around the festive board, were the men to whom, in a greater degree than to any other causes, the beauties and prog- ress of the wonderful city of Washington were due. In such a gathering, therefore, said Col. Parker, it was natural that those composing it would like to hear from each other. The history of Vermont is already known to every Washingtonian, and :t should be to every Vermonter. He would therefore propose the health of the grand old state and call upon its governor to say her say for her. Gov. Weodbury Hits the Weather. Gov. Woodbury was greeted with ap- plause when he arose. He created much merriment by prefacing his remarks with the wish that Col. Hall, the rotund member of his staff from Burlington, had eaten the dinner that he ate last Saturday night, as it would not have hurt Hall, and he would have felt amazingly better in consequence. He knew that Vermont would be given a warm welcome when it came Gown to see the south, but he had not expected that the atmosphere would joia so lustily in the re- ception. The weather reminded him of a story that Gen. Mahone had told him. After the explosion at the Crater Gen. Ma- hone was sitting on his horse out in front of his lines, when he saw a man coming along. He was long aud gaunt, without hat or boots, and his dilapidated pants were held up around a hickory shirt with one Suspender. When he got in front of Ma- hone the general hailed him. “Hello,” he said, “what has happened?’ The man looked up, shook his head, and remarked, with earnest emphasis, ‘Hell is busted,” and on he went. 5 Gov. Woodbury said he was very much indebted, as they all were, to Col. Parker for this occasion, which gave them the opportunity to meet and know the promi- nent men of Washington, who had been in such a large degree responsible for. the great changes which had been wrought in the city. He remembered Washington well during the war. Few soldiers liked it. It was a very ordinary and a very dirty town. Today it is a monument to the liberality and the enterprise of its citizens. It was already, and would be in the future still more widely, recognized as the Mecca toward which all men of wealth and cul- ture and leisure and refinement would turn for the satisfaction of their elevated tastes. ‘Washington’s Debt to Vermont. Mr, B. H. Warner followed Gov. Wood- bury. He was introduced by the host as the presidert of the board of trade and cne of the men who had helped to make Washington. Mr. Warner said that in the developmer-t of the national capital, he declared, no force had been more conspicu- ous than the representatives from Ver- mont. Senator Morrill had ever and al- ways been a zealous and eager champion of the best interests of Washingtorf, and Senator Edmunds had been a factor of inestimable importance in the framing of our municipal laws, as well as in the in- fluence he had exerted in behalf of mak- ing a greater Washing*on possible. He paid a high compliment to Congress- man Grout, whom he characterized as young and unmarried, and consequently with great prospects before him. He hoped to see him in the Senate one of these days. He said Senator Proctor had performed valuable services in behalf of shaping the street extensi¢n legislation, and he be- lueved Col. Parker had something to do with this, because he usually had the Sen- ator in tow and provably succeeded in wisely coloring his vision. Col. Parker ex- emplified in himself how dear the state of Vermont was to him, because even in Washington he had established his resi- dence on Vermont avenue. Mr. Henry A. Willard, also a Vermonter, had always borne a large and conapicuous share in the work of developing Washington and was one of the old and conservative citi- zens who was always to be found in the front of enterprises for the community good, Atlanta’s Exposition Surpasses Phila- delphin’s. Lieut. Gov. Mansur was introduced as the next governor of Vermont. He said that he had looked forward with great pleasure to his trip through the south be- cause he wanted to compare her cities with those of the north. He regarded Atlanta as the queen city of the south, and de- clared thet her exposition was better than the government exposition at Philadelphia in 1876. He said that no city had made the progress in everything that Washing- ton has since the war, and he described the mud on Pennsylvania avénue when he was here during the war, and when the northwest section now built up with beau- tiful residences was a hog and cow pasture, We all rejoice in this, he said, because, al- though we all live away up in Vermont we feel that we have a common interest in Washington, and we are proud of it. It would inevitably become the city toward which all the better elements of American humanity would converge because it pos- sessed culture, refinement, good society and a good climate. The Grent Army of the Union. There was much applause when Col. Parker introduced Lieut. Gen. Schofield and asked him to reply to the toast to the army. “In my opinion,” said Gen. Scho- field, “if my friend, Col. Parker, had been called on every day, or even every week, = the last ay years ie same toast, would grow heartily tired of it.” That had been his experience regarding the toasting of the army, but he did not mind it in the least, because when @ man cherished anything with sincere af- fection, he never objected to saying a word in behalf of the object of his love. He believed that his fellow citizens were aware of his devotion to the army, but there were many people who, perhaps, be- lieved that his love was centered in the regular army. He would qualify that idea and say that his devotion had been. to the army of the United States in the broadest sense of the term. Vermont knew it, and the other states knew it. In his whole career he had never let an opportunity slip by which he could improve or help to im- prove the material and moral welfare of the militia forces of the United States. The United States army, said Gen. Scho- field, is not the iittle regular army. That is merely the model from which the great army will take its pattern and fashion it- self. He said that as a proof of his devo- tion to the militia service of the United States, he would relate an instance which occurred in the early part of the war, when he was a youth and a second lieu- tenant in the regular army stationed at St. Louis. President Lincoln had called for 7,000 volunteers, and they had to be mus- tered in. There was no war governor in Missouri like there was in Massachusetts, Illinois, Vermont and other stalwart com- monwealths, Missquri’s governor had gone off south and joined the rebellion, and so a young lieutenant was left to arm and equip the ready men in Missouri who came for- ward in response to the President's call. “To show how I regarded that force,” said Gen. Schofield, significantly, “I very promptly mustered myself in as major of volunteers.” He asked pardon for citing this egotistical illustration of his cow but said that he had the satisfaction o! having done everything that lay in his pow- er to elevate the volunteer forces of the United States and make them what they are. “I would not hesitate,” he said, in con- clusion, “to take the little regular army of 25,090 men and a hundred thousand vol- unteers who would answer the call fou treops, and with that army of 125,000 men take the field and willingly meet any simls lar number of armed men in existence.” Appomattox Ended All Contention, Col. Parker, In some very happy re- marks, alluded to the return of his guests from the battlefields of the south, ind re- ferred to Gen. Mahone’s brilliant services upon many of them. He called on him, as~ the representative of the southern armies, to say a few words. Gen. Mahone arose, amid hand-clapping. He began by saying that he would not un- dertake to speak for the confederate army, but he would speak for himself. During the four years that the war continued it had been his earnest intention to discharge his duty, and he did. Having entered the cause of the south, belleving it was right, and desiring a complete and absolute sep- aration from his brethren of the north, he had used every effort to accomplish that result. 3 “But,” he continued, “I am free and frank to say that Appomattox concluded all those contentions so far as I am con- cerned.” In conclusion, he paid a aigh tribute to Washington, which, he said, he regarded as much his hme as anywhere else, and pledg- ed himself to every effort that would further advance its prosperity. Congressman Grout’s Remarks. | Col. Parker then called on Congressman Grout, of whom he said that Vermont never had a better representative or Washington @ better friend, particularizing Mr. Grout’s services as chairman of the committee on the District of Columbia. Mr. Grout said he was glad to greet the solid men of Washington and the solid boys of Vermont together. Referring to his hoarseness, he remarked that while Gov. Woodbury has lost his appetite down south he had lost his voice. Notwithstanding this embarrassment Mr. Grout paid a high tribute to Washington. He said the people of Vermont felt they owned Washington as much as its citizens. It was an enter- prising, pushing city, whose destinies were beyond speculation. He referred to the fact that Congress, as the legislature con- trolling the District, did not support it as so many persons believed, but merely al- lowed its own interests to govern it. Com- ing back from Atlanta after a hot dusty ride, which needed 600 bottles of appolin- aris to even slightly moisten; he felt when he reached Washi: that he was at home. About Atlanta he indulged in glow- ing praises, and expressed ‘his astonishment and wonder at the enterprise of her citi- zens in organizing such a stupendous expo- sition. He seriously impressed everyone with the necessity for visiting it, and was warmly applauded. 2 More Praise for Vermon The next speaker was Col. A. T. Britton, who, Col. Parker said, was the best-known man in Washington and foremost in its enterprises. Col. Britton said he occupied the position of misfit, and gave several funny descrip: tions of what a misfit was, ending with Dr. Ruth’s illustration of a man with a lager beer pocket book and a champagne appe- tite. He was not a Vermonter, but his earliest book, “Jack, the Giant Killer,” re- minded him now of Vermont, in the stal- wart proportions of the Vermont giants around him. He had ruined his eyes read- ing surreptitiously after hours at school about Ethan Allen's part in the early juris- dictional conflicts between New York and Vermont, and he used to think Allen was ten feet high. When he grew older he wanted a horse. He had heard that Ver- mont was famous for four things—oxen, horses, women and maple sugar; so he went up to Vermont and got filled with horse pedigree that stuck to him yet. He had gone there many times since, and met her statesmen, her soldiers and her yeomen, and the more he saw the greater became his respect for the brave little state. She had one of the first railroads— “The very first steamboat too,” inter- jected Congressman Grout, e “My, I didn’t know you were navigators!” returned Col. Britton. What is more, he went on, was that Ver- mont had the very first normal school es- tablished in the Union, and that was enough to clothe her with lasting fame and honor, He did not offer the visitors a warm wel- come down here, for nature had provided that; but he did extend a sincere and hearty one. Others called on to speak were Major Valentine, General Bates, Major Peirce, Colonel A. B. Chandler, Secretary Powers, Mr. C. J. Bell, Mr. H. A. Willard, State Senator Lyman, Colonel Allen, Mr. Noyes, Mr. John W. Thompson and Colonel Doty. Mr. Thompson happened to remark in his speech that he was born next door to Ver- mont himself. “Yes,” ejaculated the host, “dn Canada.” “But I didn’t stay there,” immediately retorted Mr. Thompson, amid great laugh- ter. At the close of the dinner’the health of the governor and his party was drunk with three cheers and a tiger, and after leavetakings the guests dispersed, the gov- ernor and his party proceeding direct to their special train. ——— A STARTLING REPORT. Charges of the Hlinois Bureau of La- bor Statistics. ‘The most sensational report ever! issued by a state bureau was made public last night by the IlMnois bureau of labor sta- tistics. It charges that the great majority of the wealthy taxpayers of Illinois, and more especially of Chicago, are perjurers; that the assessors are guilty of malfeasance in office; that the present financial condition of Chicago is directly traceable to the cor- rupt rystem of taxation, and that the “de- Plorable condition of workmen is due to the liberty-destroying methods of taxation which prevail in Illinois.” The report is made up of a mass of ta- bles compiled from official reports of as- sessors, banks, real estate transfers, the state board of equalization and the various municipal departments, to which the agents of the bureau had access. After declaring that “it is the purpose of the report to expose existing methods of taxa- tion in Illinois, with special reference to their effect upon the labor interests,” the report proceeds to review the work of former bureaus. The stand is taken that it is idle to dwell upon the wages and con- dition of the average wage-earners of the state. The bureau contends that their condition “is proved by evidence so clear and abundant that the collection of any further statistics merely to prove it would be wasted effort.” The bureau takes the position that “tax- ation is the chief instrument of tyranny,"
