Details Will Be Arranged by Admiral Bunce After Consultation With Secretary Herbert. The long-deferred maneuvers of the North Atlantic squadron will probably take place this week on a very small and limited scale. Last December the fleet assembled at Hamp- ton Roads preparatory to a cruise to the Caribbean for drill and exercises. It Is still there, and the evolutions are still in the future. In the meantime the fleet nas been subject to all sorts of sensational reports. Some gossf$s had it that the entire squad- ron was going to Venezuela to enforce the Monroe doctrine, others that they had been ordered to Cuba to insure the independence of the insurgents, and some even went so far as to assert that they were destined to Constantinople to compel the unspeakable Turk to indemnify American missionaries for losses of property. Within Marine Jurisdiction. Asa fact, the vessels, with one or two un- important exceptions, have remained con- tinuously within the marine jurisdiction of the United States, and have given nv single instance of a bellicose feeling toward any of the nations with which our relations are In jeopardy by living ts- sues. The cruise to.the Caribbean sea, for which elaborate arrangement kad been made, was abandoned because it might pos- sibly have been misconstrued by the go ernments of Great Britain and Spain, pend- ing the settlement of serious complications between those nations and the United States. "There can be no Guestion as to the peace- ful character of this week's naval maneuvers. In fact, very Httle is known about them except that they will require only a skort cruise outside the capes. The details will be arranged by Admiral Bunce, commanding the squadron, after consulta- tion with Secretary Herbert, who is now at Fort Monroe. The Secretary went there to inspect the fleet, and he will remain through- out the week, in order to witness the maneuvers. Thé fleet, which now consists of six vessels, will be augmented by the bat- tle ship Indiana, now at Port Royal, which was ordered to Hampton Roads in order to take part in the exercises. She will be taken out of dry dock tomorrow, and will start at once for the rendezvous. During her trip north she will be under inspection by a naval board appointed for that special purpose. Making Preparations. During the past few days the vessels in Hampton Roads have been coaled and groomed for their first real sea service since last autumn, and all‘leaves have been re- voked. On returning to the Roads, Admiral Bunce will be directed to hold himself in readiness to move north as soon as the weather gets a little milder for an extensive series of drills. The efficiency of the ships’ crews is reported as better than at any *ime since the squadron assembled. On the return of the Newark, now on her way to Norfolk from Montevideo, she also will be assigned to the fleet, and the Terror, which will go into commission at New York on the 15th instant, will join it soon after. The addition of these vessels, with the Mi- antonomoh, which is expected to enter active service, and with the Amphitrite, which is to be withdrawn from Key West, will give the Atlantic seaboard the strong- est aggregation of fighters yet presented by the new navy. This force will consist then of the first-class battle ship Indiana, the three coast defense monitors Amphi- trite, Miantonomoh and Terror, with the Puritan and Massachusetts following them before July 1; the second-class battle ships Maine and Texas, the armored cruiser New York, still flying the admiral’s flag; the triple-screw fiyer Columbia, the twin cruis- ers Raleigh and Cincinnati, the big three- master Newark and the Montgomery. ——_-e—. The Big Hat Nuisance. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Your ever-popular paper contained on the 3d instant another letter complaining of the matter above mentioned. But there are two sides to every question, and there were no doubt a dozen reasons why the lady (?) “promptly and firmly refused” to remove a “hat of such proporticns that it entirely blotted out the stage” from the view of “A Woman” behind her. The “lady” was probably bald, and re- moving her hat meant removing her wig, in which case “the stage and all the actors” would have been as nothing in comparison with the spectacle which she firmly and properly concealed from “a woman” behind ker and from a hundred scoffing wretches of men. It was evidently the oniy hat she had, and “A Woman” confesses to its “pretti- ness.” It could not have been seen if the “lady” had kept it in her lap, where also it might have been mussed by some male creature passing out between the acts to get a “clove” (I think they call it so). It may have been done for a bet; some one had said that no lady would be guilty of so unmannerly an act; so this type of new woman acted in defense of the rights of her sex. Would “A Woman,” not new (of course I don’t call her old), wish her to lose a weger? = It was very near Easter, and the “lady” supposing some horrid man only would be behind her, thought to make a he-stir, whereas your correspondent, being “A Wo- man,” is trying to make a she-stir of this quite simple matter. Let her be just well as indignant. “A Woman” asks: there no redress for such treatment?’ There is, though it may be inadequate. Let all the victims behind the “lady” go out f each time ‘requently for “cloves,” judiciously tipping the big hat in various Girections with their wraps, sccidentally, cnd with profuse apologies. ANOTHER WOMAN, THE OLYMPIAN GAMES |@ Opening the International Athletic Contests, NATIONAL FESEIVAL AT ATHENS Members of the American Teams in Excellent Condition. GENERAL SPORTING NOTES ———— os ATHENS, Greece, April 6—The opening of the Olympian games was observed here | today as a national festival. The city was brilliantly decorated and great enthusiasm was manifested over the sports. The day opened with a te deum in the cathedral, which was attended by the royal family. The weather was cloudy. The members of the American teams are in excellent condition and full of confi- Gence. The trial races today consist of one of 400 ard one of 800 meters; also throwing the discus. The Greeks fear their Amer‘can compe:i- tors, tut all the athletes are very courteous to each other. The games are to be under the direc’ of the Athenian Olympic games committee, of which the Crown Pfince Constantine is the chairman. The United States contrib- utes two teams to the competition, one from Princeton and one from the Boston Athletic Association. The Boston Athletic Club team is made up of Thomas E. Burke, who will be en- tered to compete at 100, 400 and $00 meters, which is practically 110, 440 and 880 yards. He has a record of 10 1-5 seconds for 100 yards; 22 2-5 seconds for 220; 32 2-5 seconds for 300 and 49 seconds for the quarter mile. Arthur Blake will be entered in the 1,000 and 1,500 meter runs, and also the 25-mile run from Marathon to Athens. He has a mile indoor record of 4.39 4-5, made when he won the indoor championship of the N. E. A. A. A. U. two years ago. Ellery H. Clark is a student at Harvard. His records are as follows: High jump, 5 feet 10 5-8 inches; putting 16-pound shot, 39 feet; broad jump, 21 feet 10 inches; 120- yard hurdfes, 17 2-5 seconds, and throwing the hammer, 123 feet. T. P. Curtis is the fourth member of the team. The Princeton team will be captained by Robert Garrett, who is entered for the shot put, throwing the discus, broad jump and horizontal bar vault. Garrett put the shot 39 feet 6 inches at the indoor meet of the Boston Athletic Association this last winter. A. C. Tyler will enter the pole vault com- Petition. His record, made in New York, cn May 25 last, was 11 feet 2% inches, equal to that of O. T. Bucholz of the University of Pennsylvania. F. A. Lane is entered for the 100 meters, and is a good 100-yard man, having done the dash in 10 seconds flat. H. B. Jamison, who will compete in the “A-meter race, is the fourth man of the team. Jamison has a record of 53 seconds for the 440-yard dash. Events Won by Americans. ‘The American contestants won throwing the discus, the hop-step-and-jump and in the trial heats for the hundred metre and in the quarter kilometre races. ABOUT THE BLEACHERS. A Woman Base Ball Fan Thanks Mr. Wagner. To the Editor of The Evening Star: ~ Will you permit a female “fan” who is a frequent visitor at the hall games at Na- tienal Park to enter the arena of dis sion now going on in the newspapers with reference to changes said to have taken Place ia the location of the bleacher seats? I only ask a short space in crcer that I may express ar. opinion from a woman's standpoint. In the first place, If the bleach- ers have been moved further away from the grandstand, where the boisierous, un- seemly and often indecent and profage ex- clamations will rot offend the ears of ladies who are seated in the grand stand, then has Mr. Wagner placed us under re- newed cbiizations for the courtesy and fa- vors he has extended to the ladies of Wash- irgton by so generously extending to us free admission to the grounds two days in each week. Upon a certain occasion I went with my husband to a game, and we selected seats in the,east section of the grandstand, where he could enjoy his cigar without giving offense to those of my sex who occupied that portion of the stand where smoking was _prohibite There seemed to be a particularly disorderly ele- ment upon the bleachers, and the profani- ty and other sericusly objectionable lan- guage was plainly intelligible to myself and others around me, so much so indeed that we left our seats and went over to the west side of the grandstand. My husband complained to one of the attendants, and three persons, one white man and two col- ored men, were removed from the grounds, ene of them simply being so drunk that it required two persons to hold him up as he was taken away. I only mention this case. T have frequently seen and heard disurder from the bleacher seats from my seat in the grandstand that seriously detracted trom the pleasure of the occasion. I desire, in conclusion, to allude to a statement made in The Saturday Star by “Reciprocity.” He says: “Those who pat- ronize the bleachers are not hoodlums or ignoramuses, they are men of intelligence and refinement; for the most part emplcyes of the various departments.” ‘That there are gentlemen of intelligence and refine- Ment who sit upon the bleacher seats I have no doubt, but “Reciprocity” must know that at least 0 per cent of the people who sit upon the bleachers make io claim to these distinguishing characteriszics, I do not think “Reciprocity” would dare in- vite his best girl, or his sister, to sit with him upon the bleachers. Yet, if his state- ment be true, why not? ESTHER. MPA ST. Results of the Games Played by the Capital Club. The members and friends of the Capital Bicycle Club again played compass whist Saturday evening, entries being made by pairs. To a certain extent, the short suit system was tested, Messrs. Low and Bar- rick ard Quackenbush and Wooten, the leading shcrt suiters of the club, who played against the Capitol Hill team last week, being paired. They acquitted them- selves creditably, Messrs. Barrick and Low heading north and south, while Quacken- bush and Wooten were but four tricks be- hind on their side. The scores made are as follows: North and south—Barrick ees and Coston, 167; + Borches and King, 165; Youn, Davis, 164; Henry and Harmon, 161: "Jones and Tower, 160; Saunders and Sehmudt, 159; Hoeke and Howard, 158; Stevens and Tay. lor, 157; Hough and Hough, 155; Spalding and Bishop, 151.

Discussing ladies’ books, this season Mr. Wagner wishes it understood that a book will admit only one person, and that under no circumstances will children be admitted accompanying young ladies holding these book passes. Children are liable to be in- jvred by foul tips or passed balls; they do not realize that any accident can happen them, and are unable to avoid it if they did, and while the managers realize that they would be liable in damages for in- juries sustained by carelessness or neglect upon the part of employes, they do not feel they ought to be involved in a legal conten- tion where injuries are incident to the gatne and wholly unavoidable; therefore, for the protection of the children and to avoid unpleasant complication, they will not be adritted.

The sharp weather Saturday readered seats on.the bleachers far from comfort- able, but nevertheless quite a number of persons visited National Park to witness the first practice game between two teams playing, as might he expected, y However, the opportunity wes a to size up the new players, and th2 general opinion seemed to be that the recruits will give a good account of themselves. The “vets” bested the “kids” by a score of 1% to 10. Malarkey and MeGuire, for the seniors, and Gilroy and McCamey for the juniors, started in to do the nattery work, but the majority of the pitchers under con- tract were given a turn in the box. Mr. John A. Heydler officiated as umpire. Showalter and Kemeny Draw. The fourteenth game of chess for the championship of the United States between Kemeny and Showalter was played Satur- day at Philadelphia, and, after thirty moves, was declared a draw. The score now stands: Showalter, 6; Kemeny, 4; drawn, 4. Schnefer Beats Iver. The last game of the New York series of the international billiard tournament was won Saturday night from Frank C. Ives by Jacob Schaefer by 600 to 120. A very large crowd of spectators was attracted. Out of the five games last week Ives won three and Schaefer two, while Garnier lost four. Schaefer's success made his total of games tle with those of Ives, each having now three winnings apiece. Alfred d'Oro, the world’s ex-champion pool expert, was the referee. The tie between Ives and Schaefer will be played off in Chicago next month. The second series will open in Boston on April 13. ——._-_— AN OLD OFFENDER. Sadie Herzog Goes Down for Thirty Days. “It looks very dark over there in the corner,” remarked Clerk Potts this morn- ing when he entered Judge Kimball's court. He referred to the party of callers in the dock. There were forty-one prisoners in the cells, and only three of them were white. Mrs. Sadie Herzog, nee Burke, the little woman who so frequently graces the toils, was one of the white ones. She is now about as well known as is any woman who is numbered among the court callers. If Sadie’s husband is living, she probably is not aware of it, for she does not live with him, but lives from pillar to post, and gets along the best she can without work- ing. ‘ Saturday Sadie called at the court and paid her respects to the officials. She was in her usual intoxicated condition, and was ready for a song and dance, or anything that would break the monotony of life about the court after the van leaves. “If you don’t go home and behave your- self,” Policeman Flynn told her, “some policeman will have you before night.” Poltceman Flynn, who had been sick for several days, had just returned to duty, and the good advice with which he was filled was poured out, but it fell as does water on a duck’s back, for Sadie drank more liquor, and about 5:30 o'clock Police- man Frank Hughes met her at the car stable on 3d street. af “Well, Sade, are you full again?” the po- liceman asked her. “Don’t say a word, ain't in it. I’m bilin; About the car stable she had tried to make a “mash,” because she wanted to get treated, but she got sadly disappointed. She was not disappointed, however, when the police came along and placed her un- der arrest. “I'll see Policeman Flynn in the morning and get two cups of coffee,” said Sadie, “4f I can’t get another ‘hummer’ now.” And so she went to the police station and was locked up. South Washington lMquor got the better of her, and it was necessary to give her some cooling Potomac water every few minutes to prevent her suffer- ing what only victims of intemperance suffer. = This morning when she reached court she was in an extremely nervous condition and was perfectly willing that the court should send her down. “You are with vagrancy,” read the peoig : “And I’m gullty,” answered ora the clerk could ask the anal aor: ions. The policeman told the court of the wo- man’s condi and sh 's uct, od was sent down for she answered, “full seedoagondendoegegeeteatengecgengentontengengedententontentergeetetingy, SHALL DISTRIBUTE HANDSOME | SOUVENIRS and we want you to weseseonses WE EVERY VISITOR SOSOODHGHHNSHAODOIOASS 2HSOSOOSOSSOSOHSHSO SOOO OSOOSOSSTOO We NE a | 906 F Street.

The Spiritualist Ladies’ Aid of the First Association of Spiritualists of this city will held a bazaar at Masonic Temple next Thursday and Friday, April 9 and 10, af- ternoons and evenings. The merchants of this city and the many friends of the as- sociation have contributed a large amount of merchandise.
