SPORTS OF THE DAY English iin Gece for Next Spring’s Race. GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY'S FIELD DAY The “Big Four in Foot Ball” Meet With Surprises. RACING AT PIMLICO In view of possible internatichal develop- ments, ‘varsity oarsmen will be interested to learn that the Oxford and Cambridge men are elready hard at work preparing for next season. The Lcadon Sporting Life of October 30 says: “The first stage of preparation for the great aquatic battle of the Blues has now fairly commenced on Isis ard Cam, Presi- dents Crum and Hope being daily exer- cised in the ‘survival of the fittest’ process. A couple of trial eights are now afloat on either river, and aspiring oarsmen from every college are receiving due attention and a sight of good advice. Interest at Fresent centers in the coxswainless fours shortly to be decided, and judging from the crews in opposition, s2me very keen racing should be witnessed. For the Cantab races Trinity Hall (holders), First Trinity, Third ‘Trinity, Emmanuel, Jesus and Caius will probably do battle, and I plump for ‘Hall’ to repeat their last year’s victory. With three of the same opponents in evidence they travel in great fashion, while Presi- dent Hope fs steering finely this year. Em- manuel will hardly attain the final once again, unless they have another surprise in store for us, but First should make it ex- ceedingly warm for all comers. At Oxford the opposing crews are of the quality rath- er than quantity order, New College (hold- ers), Magdalen, University, Trinity and BaJliol alone being in strict training. Bar Balliol—hardly in true form yet—the others are coming on by leaps and bounds, and I anticipate some terrific racing right away.” The Henley authorities are eagerly an- ticipating the coming of the crew from Yale to compete at the next regatta. All the little ennoyances of the past seem to be forgotten, and, although no definite ac- tion has een taken, the subject has been carefully canvassed. The conclusion has been reached that all the rties in England tn any way inter- ested in the aquatic contests at Henley would most cordially welcome the entry of acrew frem Yale. Failing this, the British oarsmen would be pleased to see a crew from any other American university. Secretary Ccoper of the Henley regatta committee said to a correspondent that he would be glad to see Cornell have another trial at Henley with the oarsmen of the English universities. The American entries will close on March 31, 1896. IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. The Annual Field Day of Georgetown University. The annual college games of Georgetown University were held Saturday afternoon, the weather, the attendance, and last, but not least, the arrangements for the meet, making it one of the most successful affairs of its kind ever held at the university. It was an invitation track and field meet, and Columbian University and the University of Pennsylvania sent representatives. ‘As announced in The Star of Saturday, B. J. Wefers won the first heat of the 100-yard run in 10 2-5 seconds, and subsequently the final heat in 10 seconds. Consijering the condition of the track it is thought that this time is as good as his championship record, 9 4-5. Fox came in second in the first heat and second in the final. The enthusiasm of the crowd was made apparent at every op- portunity,and when the time of Wefers’ last effort was announced it did not fail to awake the spectators to the full dutles of their po- sition. The announcements were most sat- isfactory, being made from an immense speaking trumpet that has teen for a long time a familiar sight at the National Park foot ball games in which Georgetown Unl- versity has taken part. The feature of the day,outslde of the good time of Wefers, was the relay race between University of Pennsylvania and Georgetown, It was for a mile, and four runners on each side were chosen to go over the distance. Pennsylvania's representatives were Orton, Jarvis, Sterrett and Stillman, while James and B. J. Wefers, Gallagher and Delaney upheld the prestige of Georgetown, and they did their alma mater full justice in the way in which they won the race. When Wefers came over the wire, fifteen yards ahcad of Orton, the pent-up energies of the crowd were let loose, and bedlam reigned until the champion was borne out of sight on the shoulders of his colleagues. J. M. Gallagher won the 120-yard dash over the hurdles in the time of 20 1-5, A. J. Devereaux being second. G. A. Mahoney won the running broad jump, clearing 18 feet 10 inches of ground. Fleming jumped only half an inch less, but his trial was j-ro- tested on a foul. McAnerney turned the ta- bles on Gallagher in the 24-yard run, and won with ease from that gentleman. De- laney won the 880-yard run ‘vith compara- tive ease. McElhone won the high jump, going over the bar at 5 feet 6 inches. He also subsequently broke the college record by clearing 5 feet 8% inches. The mile walk was won by Cameron, and the mile run by Delaney, the time of the former event being 9.10, and of the latter, 5.26 3-5. H. T. Greene of Columbian Uni- versity won the pole vault, clearing the bar at 9 feet, McElhone being second w.th 8 feet inches. F. A. L. Schade, a festive-looking youth with a blue suit of tights, won the two-mile bicycle race about as he pleased in 5.51. Big Mahoney threw the 16-20und ham- mer 80 feet, and was given first prize for his strength, W. T. S. Doyle being second, with 70 feet. Mahoney also came out first in put- ting the 16-pound shot, with 36 feet 4 inches to his credit. Princeton, 6; Cornell, 0. No season has been so prolific of sur- prises in foot ball as the present. It seems impossible to get a correct line on :he re- spective merits of any two teams. Satur- day it was thought it was only a question of how many points Princeton would score so art Cornell at Manhattan Field, New ork, but how different the result. It de- veloped as the grand game progressed not as to how many ihe Tigers would score, but whether they would be able to score at all. It was not until the last thirty sec- onds of play, and by the most terrific ag- Monday, Nov. 11.

Score, 6 to 0. Harvard, 4; U. of Mich., 0. University of Michigan held Harvard down to four points Saturday, and played a good, steady game. The crimson lost many chances of scoring by holding and off side play. Yale, 6; Brown University, 6. Yale "Varsity and Brown University elev- ens played a tie game of foot ball before 4,000 people at Providence Saturday. In the first half Brown scored the first touch- down, McCarthy carrying the ball over the line. The next touchdown was made for Yale by Letton. Score, 6 to G. In the sec- ond half neither side scored. Gallaudet Defeats Baltimore City Col- lege. Saturday was a ereat day at Kendall Green. when the rooters yelled and yelled, until their throats were sore, as their team outplayed the Baltimore City College team at every point. Two substitutes played through the game on the home team, yet the visitors were unable to do anything. Gallaudet obtained the ball on her ten- yard line, and kept it until Grimm bucked the line for ten yards and a touchdown; goal succeeded. Score: Gatlaudet, 6; Baltimore, 0. Time: Two minutes. Gallaudet again made a steady advance of forty yards, until Rosson went through the center for a touchdown, goal succeeding. Score: Gallaudet, 12; Baltimore, 0. Time: Fourteen minutes. Again the Baltimore boys were unable to stop their opponents, and in seven minutes Wornstaff circled the end for a touchdown; goal succeeded. Score: Gallaudet, 18; Bal- timore, 0. No scoring was done during the remainder of the first half, the ball being on Gallaudet’s ten-yard line when time was called. In. the second half Gallaudet paid for foul tackling. From near the center to the goal the ball passed steadily in Gallaudet’s hands, Grimm making a touchdown; goal failed. Score: Gallaudet, 22; Baltimore, 0. Time: Ten minutes. No more -scoring was done. At the last moment the visitors followed the home team in trying the ends with the ball, and in this Way gave their opponents some hard work. The line-up was as follows: Gallaudet. Position. Balt.City College Wornstaf.. Right end Cecil -Left half back. Full back, ..L ‘atson; refetee, Mr. Schell; jones. Touchdowns—Grimm (2), Rosson, Wornstaff. Time—Two thirty- minute halves. Foot Ball Notes. The Young Mahones have defeated the L Streets at foot ball by a score of 20 to 12. The line-up was as follcws: J. MeGar- rell, A. O'Hare, W. Powell, Davis, Garland, Bergin, Zook, J. Rice, Collins, Balande and Folkes. The St. John’s College foot ball eleven is now organized for the season and has scheduled a number of games with the leading teams of the city. Wednesday they will meet the Le Droits at the Monument grounds. The second foot ball team of the Central High School defeated the Monumentals Saturday morning in a well contested game of foot ball by a score of 6 to 4. The Rockville Academy foot ball team was defeated on its own grounds Saturday by the eleven of the Eastern High School, the score standing 10 to 8. The Little Rocks defeated the Pleas- ant team Saturday by a score of to 6. A GAME WITH BROOKLYN. Washington Chess Players May Test Their Mettle. In its correspondence with the Brooklyn Chess Club, the suggestion comes from the other end that should the Washington club desire to play a game by correspondence, it was thought it could be arranged. The Proposition meets with general favor by the members of the local club, and it is probable that a game will shortly be com- menced. The Brooklyn club is one of the leading clubs of the world, and while the local club can hardly hope to be successful against such a strong organization, it will try to make a creditable showing. The Capitol Hill .Chess, Checker and Whist Ciub starts off with a membership of twenty-six. The club ts nicely located with rooms facing on Pennsylvania ave- nue. The principal contingent ts whist players, though there are several chess players among the members. Rules for the tournament at the Capitol Bicycle Club have been posted. Each per- son plays four games with each other con- testant, the rules of the Hastings tourney to govern play. The tournament lasts from November 15 to January 15 next, at which time the unplayed games are to be scheduled, contestants not having played half their games to have all their games canceled. The prizes consist of the book of the Hastings tourney, first prize, and Lowenthal’s Morphy’s games, second prize. ‘The entries thus far are Usina, Barrick, Carr, Douglas and Calver. About the only thing stirring in local checker circles is the tournament in prog- ress at the Mount Vernon Chess and Checker Club. The tournament embraces about all the strong players in the city except McHardie. The score is as follows: Mundelle, won 21, lost 7; Ward, won 18, Jost 10; Johnson, won Pedal, won 11, lost 10; Farquhar, won 11, lost 11; Wendell, won 10, lost 12; itford, won 8, lost_15; Fitch, won 3% In class B, Dr. Miller is leading all competitors with the score of 13 wins and 3 losses; Stevenson second, having won 7 and lost 5. Last winter Mr. McHardie defeated Mr. Mundelle in a match for the checker championship of the District, and later the latter came out ahead in a tournament. Friends of both parties would like to see them matched again, and it is hoped they can be brought together. The Mt. Vernon club would like to play a team match at chess with the Capitol Hill club. GOOD WORK OF THE GIRLS. Field and Track Sports at Vassar College. A unique event in the athletic world was the fleld day of the Vassar College girls at Poughkeepsie, N. ¥., Saturday. The first event was a 100-yard run. The trial heats were won by Miss Wilkinson, 15 1-4 sec- onds, and Miss Vassar, 15 1-2 seconds. Miss Vassar won the final heat in 16 sec- onds. In the running broad jump Miss Bgker won, jumping 11 feet 5 inches. Miss Love was second, with 10 feet 8 inches. In the 120-yard hurdle the trial heats were won by Miss Ward, 26 seconds; Miss John- son, 25 3-4 seconds, and Miss Thallon, 243-4 seconds. Miss Thallon won the final heat in 25 seconds. In the running high jump Miss Brownell won, scoring 43 inches; Miss Baker second, 40 inches. The 220-yard race had Fanny Borden, Helen L. Haight, Annie L. Moore, Ida C. Thallon and Annie L. Wilkinson as start- ers. Miss Haight won, 36 1-4 seconds. The Liberty Wheelmen. The Liberty Wheelmen have called a century run to Frederick and return for November 17. Their last run was to Dick- eys, Va., on which occasion they had as their guests a number of wheelmen from Baltimore. This club has but recently or- ganized, and numbers among its member- Ship some of the well-known riders of the city. Its officers are: Captain, John J. King; first lieutenant and secretary, Clal ence E. Ingling; treasurer, Wm. E. Plerc official’ pacemaker, James T. Bresnahan; surgeon, Dr. W. J. Dillerbach. Spread of Foot Ball Talent. From the Philadelphia Press. “Are the big college teams weaker?” was asked Saturday evening. No, but ‘the cor- rer on foot ball talent, knowledge and tac- tics has been broken, and now the game is Leing played intelligently the country over. Declared the Race Off. AUSTIN, Tex., November 11.—The double scull race between Bubear and Haines and Gaudaur and Rogers, for the champion- ship, has been declared off. The owner of the lake where the race was to have been rowed objected to the exhibition on Sunday and the race was accordingly canceled. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Suocessful Athletic Fxercises of the Epis- oopel igh School A Woman Burned to Death in Her - Home Last Night—Many Other Laeal Notes. The twentieth annyal athletic exercises of the Episcopa} +h School near this city were held og the school campus Sat- urday. The exercis¢g commenced prompt- ly at 10 o'clock ‘and were twenty-two in rumber, and it was nearly 4 o'clock he- fore the program was completed. A large crowd was present from Washington, Alex- ardria and the surrounding country. The events were hotly contested, and several of the school records were broken. The events were interspersed with music by the Marine Band of Washington. Imme- diately after the close of the contests the prizes, which were very handsome and costly, were awarded to the successful Young men by Miss Josle Robinson of this ity. ‘The managers were Messrs. E. W.Robert- son, B.G.Nalle and W.A-Clason,and the fol- lowing gentlemen acted as judges: Messrs. W. H. K. Pendleton, W. Reade and W. Randolph; Mr. R. B. Nelson was starter, and Messrs. J. 8.

Shortly efter 9 o'clock last night Mr. George Petty, foreman of the Hydraulton Fire Compary, discovered smoke coming from a shanty in Donnelly's alley, bounded by Lee, Union, King ‘and Prince streets. He immediately investigated it and found it was the house of, Hattie Davis, a colored woman. He found all the doors locked, and had to force ene:ef them open before he could gain admittance. Upon stepping into the room he found the woman burned almest to a crisp, The flesh on her feet. limbs and back was burned almost entirely off. The lamp had overturned in her lap, and she had slowly burned to death sitting in a rocking chajr. The body presented a most horrible appearance. She had not been seen by an¥ other neighbors during the day, and it is supposed that she had either fallen asleep and accidentally Knock- ed the lamp over,.or that while in a drunk- en stupor she attempted to light the lamp and set fire.to her elothing. The woman was better known as:;"Aunt Hattie,” and had been before the mayor several times for drunkennes: she was about forty years old and was unmarried. Mr. Petty notified the police, who immediately sum- moned the coroner, who had the remains carried to Demaine’s undertaking estab- lishment, where an inquest will be held to- day. Mr. Petty succeeded in extinguishing the fire without turning in an alarm. There is hardly a doubt but that the woman was under the influence of liquor at the time of the accident. An Enthusiastic Meeting. A very enthusiastic meeting was held by the Alexandria Council, Junior O. U. A. M., last Thursday evening in Odd Fellows’ Hall. Delegations from Belle Haven and Jackson councils of this city were present, in addition to about sixty members of the Alexandria Council. The degrees of the order were con- ferred upon two applicants, afier which the usual routine business was transacted. Af- ter the initiation remarks were made by the visiting members, as well as from the home council, which were very appropriate, and were listened to with undivided attention. The council decided to have a Thanksgiving union meeting on the evening of the 28th in- stant, in which a general taik will be had, ccrsisting mainly of acknowledgments of the many blessings received as an organiza- tion, and for the many favors bestowed upon our great country. There will be no initia- tions dn that evening. ‘The council has heretofore observed this day jn similar ap- propriate ways, and much good has resulted therefrom, and the approaching occasion is looked forward to with much interest. The council also decided to commemorate the birth of “the father of his country” in some appropriate manner, and appointed a com- mittee to make the necessary arrangements for a public demonstration on the 22d of February. Pocket Book Snatchers. While a well-known young lady of this city was on her way to the local depot to take the 1 o'clock train for Washington Saturday, and while on Cameron street be- tween Columbus and Alfred, she was ap- proached by two comparatively well-dressed men, who attempted to take her pocket book from her. The young lady screamed, and the would-be thieves ran off and made their escape. The young lady shortly afterward reported the matter to Officer Wilkerson, whom she met on the street, and at once took measures to capture the men, but so far has failed. Later in the evening, while Mrs. Newlon was on Columbus street be- tween Princess and Oronoco looking for a house, she, too, was approached by two men, one of whom snatched her pocket book, which contained a small sum of money, and then both made off. It is said that these men have been seen about the city for the past two weeks and these aré not their first offenses of this kind here. The police are keeping a sharp lookout and will arrest all suspicious characters. They Are Going to Fight It. ‘The residents and property owners along. Fayette street who. ppotested against the granting to the Washington Southern Rail- way Company of,the right to put a double track on Fayette street will make a vigor- ous fight in the city council fo prevent the adoption of the -favorable report of the street committee gn the petition of the rail- way company for, the use of the street. It is contended that another track on that street will greatly depreciate the value of property on it, and, therefore, a vigorous kick to prevent this will be made. Corporation Court. In the corporation court Saturday, Judge J. K. M. Norton presiding, the following office judgments were entered: H. W. Wit- cover agt. Farmers and Mechanics’ Insur- ence Company; judgment for plaintiff for $500. S. P. Surgeon agt. Farmers’ and Me- chanics’ Insurance Company; judgment for plaintiff for $800, interest and costs. L. Stabler agt. M. L. King; judgment for plaintiff for $131.76, interest and costs. In the case of Wm. Green agt. Lilly Green et al. the report of Commissioner Taylor was confirmed and a sale ordered.
