LOUIS, Mo., April 15.—The Ass9- ciated Cyciing Clubs of St. Louis have de- cided to decline the date, June 20, which was set for the nattonal circult meeting, as it conflicts with the Chicago derby, which wil! be run off here on that day, at the St. Louis Association track. The clubs ask that another date be awarded. SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.—At a meet- ing of the road racing committee of the California Associated Cycling Clubs last night it was decided to disqualify the Bay City Wheelmen, the winners of last Sun- day's 100-mile relay race. It is alleged that the Bay City club’s representatives on the sixth ard seventh relays changed the pack- et outside the proper lines. It is claimed by the riders that they changed the packet within bounds, and their statement is upheld by two persons, who were standing near the flag, but the referee claims otherwise, and the race cum- mittee has decided with him. This decision gives the cup to the Garden City cyclers, who finished second i the race. The Bay City wheelmen will protest against the decision of the board. Boxing. NEW YORK, April 15.—The Eureka Ath- letic Club of Long Island City will be the next in the field with a boxing entertain- ment.

Games Given Wreaths of Olive. - GP2ATEST ENTHUSIASM MANIFESTED One of the Princeton Team Ret lates His Experience. WORTH CIRCLING THE GLOBE ATHENS, Greece, April 15.—Brillignt Weather prevailed ‘here today, and the Stadion was packed with people desirous of seeing the prizes awarded to the winners of the cohtests in the Olympic games just concluded.- Upon the arrival of the royal Party, Mr. Robertson, an American, de- livered a Pindaric ode on the games, using the modern pronunciation. Each of the winners of a first prize re- ceived from the hands of the king a wreath of wild oltve from the Olympian olive trees, according to the ancient custom, the propo- sition to bestow silver wreaths having been abandoned. The winners of second prizes received laurel wreaths and all the winners re- ceived diplomas and medals. The prize winners then paraded, the band playing the national air of each nation. Afterward the king proclaimed the close of the games. The greatest enthusiasm was wanifested throughout the ceremony. (Copsright, 1806, by the Associated Press.) Details of the Second Day. LONDON, April 15.—Another letter was recelved at the office of the Associated Press here today from A. C. Tyler, the pole vaulter of the Princeton University team, dated Athens, Tuesday, April 7, and giving further details of the second day's contests in the clympic games at the Greek capital. Mr. Tyler, in substance, says: Americans alone qualified for the broad jump finals. The event was eventually won by Ellery H. Clark of the Boston A A., with a jump of six meters thirty-five centi- meters. Robert Garrett, captain of the Princeton University team, was second, with six meters. James B. Connolly of the Suffolk A. C. of Boston was third, with five meters eighty-four centimeters to his cred In the 400-meter race on the flat H. B. Jamison, Princeton, was only four yards behind the winner, Thomas E. Burke of the B. A. A. The time of the latter was 541-5 seconds. The track was heavy, and the turns were very sharp. Some watches caught the time as being 53 3-5. seconds. The shot putting was the next event, and it was won handsomely by Captain Robert Garrett of Princeton, with a put of 11 meters, 22 centimeters. The put was from @ two-meter square, without a raised piece of wood in front, as is customary in Ameri- ca. This naturally handicapped Garrett, who was the only American competitor. Besides, Garrett was accustomed to a lead shot, kut the officials refused to allow him to use it, although It was full weight, and he was compelled to use a smooth, large iron shot. But, in spite of these handicaps, Garrett won. His two closest competitors were Greeks, who threw the shot instead of putting it. The Grecians Went Wild. Garrett's fifth put was the best one he made, while the last throws of the Greeks were their best. Consequently, when the American's last try fell short, the Greeks thought their man had won, and the whole audience rose, cheered and clapped hands, and when the numbers of the Greek putters were placed above Garrett's the applause was redoubled. The mistake, however, was soon noticed, and the officials changed the figures, putting Garrett's on tep. This had about the effect of the traditional wet blanket over the assembly. But, on the whole, the Greeks were as happy as on the first day of the games, when they saw the Americans winning event after event, and they were also ex- ceedingly gratified and plauded greatly when Flack, an Aust! » beat Thomas F. Burke of the B. A. A. in the 1,500 meter Trace. Time, 4m. 33s. The lifting with one hand contest was wen by Elliott, an Englishman, with 71 kilos to his credit; Jensen, a Dane, won hes two-handed lifting contest, raising 111% kilcs. In the dong jump the contestants were rgt allowed to measure their run, except 5) pacing the distance. Ii the toe of a jumper projected in the slightest xt the take off the jump was not measured, and a contestant was not al- lowed a sweater or anything to mark the take off. This accounted for the poor record of 6 meters 35 centimeters. Fully 75,000 people witnessed the second day’s games in the Stadion, making it as well filled as yesterday. In addition the rock overlooking the structure was crowd- ed and the street leading to the Stadion was jammed all the afternoon. The Princeton and the B. A. A. are happy and feel they are amply repaid for their arduous training and long journey. To witness the scenes at the Stadion was worth circling the globe, let alone com- peting in such an arena and before such a concourse of people. MERCER AND CLARKE. They Are Likely to Be Opposing Pitchers Tomorrow. The weather bureau promises fair weather for this elty tomorrow, when the league base ball season will be opened. Manager Irwin of New York has decided to bring his men to Washington this afternoon, in- stead of waiting for the 8 a m. train tomor- Tow, as has been the custom. The team will take the field against the Washing- tons in the order they played yesterday. Clark and Zearfoss will be the battery in tomorrow’s opening game. Fred Pfeffer will be brought along as substitute, and the others who will make the trip are Pitchers Meekin, Doheny and Flynn, and Catchers Farrell and Wilson.

P., Semators’ Last Practice Game. The last game of the practice season of bese ball was played yesterday afternoon between the Senators and the team from the bureau of engraving and printing, champions of the District League. The game was, of course, a walkover for the professionals, who won by 30.to 4. The amateurs did not tally until the sixth in- ning, when three runs were made. Seve! ‘innings were enough for both sides. ‘i Mercer was in the box for four innings and pitched lively ball, supported by a solid wall on all sides. He was relieved by Boswell, who officiated for two innings, and then Malarkey went into the box for the final inning. Rogers played third base during the early Part of the game, and was then relieved by Gilroy, who had no chances to prove his fitness for that position. The professionals made twenty-seven hits and six errors, and the amateurs seven hits and three‘errors. COLLEGE BASE BALL. Be Here for Twe 2. The Hobart College nine again defeated the University of Virginia team yesterday, the score being 3 to 2 Hobart made three runs in the first and Varsity two in the fourth.

Another meeting on the athletic field will take plac: next fall between members of the London and New York Athletic Clubs. E. C. Bredin of the London Athletic Club, the half-mile runner and holder of the rec- ord at a quarter, in a letter to Tommy Con- neff recently, proposed a race at a mile be- tween F. E. Bacon, the English champ‘on ard holder of the English mile record (4.17), and Conneff. ~ . Conneff turned the letter over to the New York Athletic Club, of which he is a mem- ber, and the athletic committee of the club immedi! ly took the matter in hand by entering into correspondence with Mr. Bre- din. A formal challerge was forwarded Mr. Bredin by Bartow 8. Weeks, captain of the New York Athletic Club, and a race at a half mile was also proposed between Mr. Bredin and C. H. Kilpatrick. ‘These challenges will be accepted, and there is little doubt that other events will be arranged, as the London Athletic Club was none too well pleased over their disas- trous defeat cf last year. Neither Bredin ncr Bscon visited this country last fall, ow!ng to personal rea- sons, and they will be cordially welcomed. The following “letter has been forwarded to Mr. Bredin by Bartow S. Weeks, captain of the New York Athletic Club: “E. C. Bredin, Esq., Lordon A. C., Stam- ford Bridge, Fulkam Read, London: “Dear Sir—Our athletic committee has forwarded you a formal challenge on be- half of T. P. Conneff, for a match race with F. E. Becon. Should the match be ar- ranged, it hes occurred to me that you would i: all probab‘ity desire to accom- pany Mr. Bacon, and in that case we would be glad also to arrange 2 match between yourself anu C. H. Kilpatrick for the half mile. ‘Phere have also been some rumors over here that both Mr. Shaw and Mr. Bradley would be glad to meet aga'n Mr. Chase and Mr. Wefers of our club. “If that is the case, we would willingly arrange rtaatches for them also. “Hoping to hear from you favorably, be- lieve me, yours very truly, “BARTOW § WEEKS, Captain.” In reply to Mr. Bredin’s letter to Conneff, John C. Gulick. secretary of the New York Athletic Club, forwarded the following: “E. C. Bredin, Esq., London Athletic Club, Stamford Bridge, Fulham Road, London: “Dear Sir—The matter in regard to which you and Mr. Conneff of th!s club have been in correspondence was la‘d before the ath- letic committee by him.

Their owners and a great many admirers were also there, and, from present indications, the show promises to score a success. ‘The entries are almost entirely of local habita- tion and interest, as the dogs which are doing the circuit of shows are not to be seen there. Ives’ Cushion Carom Record. Ives defeated Maurice Daly of New York in the international billiard tournament at Beston last night and made a new record for a run on cushion caroms, scoring $5 points, against 77, the previous record, made by Wm.

The games will be rolled on tke neutrai alleys of the Young Men’s Catholic Club an early date. —_—.__ One Case of Varioloid. Word has reached the Navy Department that while the gunboat Petrel was on her way from Yokohama to Honolulu, Assist- ant Paymaster Philip Mohun was taken ill with a mild case of varioloid, but that he had fully recovered without the least spread of the days. FIRST DEFENDERS to Washington. FOLLOWING THE SAME ROUTE 1 Reception Different From That of Thirty-Five Years Ago. PLANS AND PROGRAM ——_>—_—. The survivors of the five hundred and thirty Pennsylvanians who were the first citizens, outside of the District of Colum- bia, to come to the defense of the imperiled national capital in 1961, are gathering in Harrisburg, Pa., today, preparatory to re- visiting Washington, and celebrating here, on April 18, the thirty-fifth anniversary of, their first arrival here. There were fi7, companies of Pennsylvania militia in “gat original band, and they marched into Weshington April 18, 1861, unun)'ftormed and unarmed, and encamped that night in the corridors of the Capitol bull’,ing. Their numbers have been reduced ‘to less than one hundred. and they widely scat- tered throughout the Unk but they will all come together in Harr’.sburg today, and proceed to follow the 89/ne route that they took thirty-five years, ago, when they re- sponded with such aYaerity to the first call of President Lincoy for troops to subdue the rebellion. In when they rendez- voused in Harrivbarg, they slept on bun- dies of straw iu the halls of the Common- wealth Hotel, but today they are peing welcomed by ‘Gov. Hastings and his mili- tary staff, and will be tendered a banquet and reception at the executive mansion. The Original Five Companies. These old soldiers formed an organiza- tion Known as the First Defenders’ Asso- ciaiion, made up of the survivors of the original five companies which came to Washington, and which were the Logan Guards of Lewistown, the Ringgold Artillery of Reading, the Allen Infantry of Allen- town and the National Light Infantry and the Washington Artillerists of Pottsville. As before stated, the Defenders propose to follow the seme route that they took in 1861, and their plans are elaborate. The first two companies to start on the trip will be the two Pottsville organizations, which will leave Pottsville this afternoon and Troceed to Reading, where they will be joined by the company of that city and the one from Allentown. They will be enter- tained at Reading by McLeon Post, G. A. R., and then all four companies will leave for Harrisburg, where they will be joined by the Lewistown company. Here the De- fenders will be met by a reception commit- tee, and will be terdered a reception by Gov. Hastings and his wife at the execu- tive mansion. At 8 o'clock tomorrow morn- ing the veterans will leave for Baltimore, and will be received upon their arrival there by Mayor Hooper and the city offi- cials. The city council of Baltimore has appropriated $500 for their entertainment, and this will be expended in a banquet. Difference Between Then and Now. sThe old fellows will doubtless be strongly impressed with the difference between this reception and that of a third of a century ago. At that time even when approaching Baltirore the crews of the train that was carrying them deserted and the soldiers themselves had to run it into Baltimore. Five hundred armed policemen met them at the depot and escorted them through the city, while a howling mob surrounded them and at one time stoned them. They got through Baltimore safely, however, and reached here about dusk, just as they will tomorrow night. They were quartered that night in the House of Representatives and remained there three weeks. Then they were transferred ta, the arsenal and late in July part of them were sent to reinforce Gen. Robert Patterson at Martinsburg. Eventually all the companies were amalga- mated intg the twenty-fifth Pennsylvania regiment. The Reception in This City. The visitors will be received here torgor- row evening at the Baltimore and Potomac depot by a committee composed of Frank Dewees, Frank Wallace, Charles Garrett and James McDonald, all former residents of Pottsville, and first defenders, and J. A. McKee, a member of the Lewistown Guards, There will also be an escort of the local militia, including the Old Guard, the Wash- ington Light Infantry, the High School Cadets and the members of the Metropoli- tan Rifles, who are the survivors of the olg veterans, who enlisted April 11, 1861, the day after Fort Sumter was fired on. The Rifles, under command of Lieut. John 'T. Chauncey, will have the post of honor in_the escort. The line of march will be up the avenue to Wauprae Hotel, where a reception will be held, and where the visitors will so- journ during their stay in this city. Friday morning they will visit Mount Vernon and probably stop at Fort Wash- ington, which was sarrizoned by a por- tion of the first defenders in 1861. At Mar- shall Hall a planked shad dinner will be enjoyed. President Cleveland will receive them Saturday morning and they will leave for home in the afternoon. The present of- ficers of the First D2fenders’ Association are: President, H. E. Eisendise of the Lo- gan Guards of Lewistown; vice presidents, A. H. Levan of the Ringgold Artillery, Reading; Daniel Downey of the National Light Infantry, Pottsville; E, J. Gaynor of the Washington Artillerists, Pottsville; Geo.

Bauman of the Washington Arrtillerists, Pottsville. 3 The National Guard. There will be a large turnout of the Dis- trict National Guard tomorrow evening, as escort to the First Defenders, who are to arrive at 7:25 o'clock. Lieut. Col. M. Em- met Urell of the second regiment will be in command of the escort, whfch will be headed by the Second Regiment Band. The following orde- has been issued by Col. Cecil Clay, who is in command of the Guard in the absence of Gen. Ordway from the city: “Organizations of the District of Colum- bia National Guard desiring to act as escort to the-First Defenders upon their arrival in Washington are directed to turn out upon the orders of their commanding officers, issued in accordance with this authority. They will report to Lieut. Col.

Lane, in Eckington, were thrown open last evening to the friends of the Ecking- ton Presbyterian Sunday school, The spa- cious hall, parlor and library were comfort- ably filled. Mr. Irwin B. Linton presided over the business portion of the program, and stated the object of the meeting. A short constitution with by-laws was adopt- ed, and a new organization, under the title of the Eckington Presbyterian Aid Soclety, came into existence. Twenty-four persons were enrolled as “charter” members. Rev. Dr. C. B. Ramsdell represented the Presbyterian Alliance, as well as the North Church, under the care of both of which organizations the Sunday school is now con- ducted, and stated that the Alliance has charged itself with the purchase of the ground at the corner of North Capitol and @ streets and Florida avenue, and friends of the Alliance have provided a large part of $2,000 towards the cost of the Sunday schcol building that has been erected. The remaining $2,000 has been assumed by the school, of which about $1,100 have been se- cured, and $900 remain to be procured be- fore July, 1899, ‘The foilowing ladies were chosen as offi- cers of the society: Mrs. J.
