START OF THE COLUMBIA, ON THE ROAD COACH —— Pauline Pry Goes to the Races in Proper Style. > A PERFECT COACHING OUTFIT What is Necessary to Become a Real Driver. ee A HIGH STANDARD I went to the races Saturday on the road coach Columbia, tooled by Mr. Clarence Moore, and now I am ready for society or a fire. To understand this experience is a liberal education in all those ways which endear Albert Edward to the West End and stamp the style of our American aris- tocracy. You have only to be at the Shore- ham at 2 o'clock any day during the race meeting and watch the Columbia start. The music of the horn announces its ap- proach some distance off. There is a gen- eral retreat of more commonplace vehicles, and with a clinking and clattering and a great dash the coach bowls to the front, the guard swings down from his seat in the rear to stand at the head of the spirited leaders, while Mr. Moore, on the box, makes your very soul sing “Hail, Britan- nia.” he is so English, don’t you know, in white pot hat, white pique stock, white spats, light-colored plaid clothes, with a light coaching apron around him. How to Mount a Conch. The steps in front of the Shoreham are filled with interested spectators and then comes that feature of coaching which has caused the thought of fire to lose all ter- rors for me. I have ascended and after- ward descended the small iron ladder by which one mounts to the pinnacle of high that the Coaching Club may don its “Upper Benjamins” and instruct the masses on what is considered a really good thing on the other side. A Proper Guard. The guard of the Columbia is a Washing- ton youth, Robert Curran by name. He was never on a coach until a year ago, when the Columbia was instituted. Now he stands in the rear, blowing his “yard of tin,” and wrapped in that impenetrable calm of a British flunkey that is as abso- lutely correct as hig livery of white cords, white leggins, pot hat and pink coat with black trimmings. When I say pink coat I speak with the color-blindness of the West snd. Anything the same color in South Washington I would call bright red. Preliminary to Mounting the Box. When Dives has his coach and horses se- lected, then comes the weighty undertak- ing of determining the details of the har- ness, and such matters as the length of a pole, the breadth and thickness of a rein— these are important considerations, over which great controversies have arisen, and deciding which Dives has often acquired brain fog. Having all this ready, the Duke of Beaufort insists a man should not think of mounting the box and driving off, be- lieving himself to be a good coachman, until he is able “not only to put his team together, but to put the harness, although it had all been completely taken to pieces, properly together again.”” Also, before he may mount the box to drive, he must learn to use the whip. Lord Algernon St. Maur advises the beginners to mount first a table or a high stool in a large room, or a garden, and practice hit- ting a piece of paper set up in the cleft of a split stick planted in the ground a proper distance from him. Then he must have a tutor to teach him how to catch the thong. All this mastered in adyance, he is finally ready to put his horses to the coacn and mount the box. Then arises the essity of a proper attitude, which Is not to stoop or lean forward, but to sit upright, not at all stiffly. The whip should be held well up across the body and the reins, according to Lord St. Maur, “should be held as near your heart as ‘possible, if you happen to have one; if not, where your heart ought to be.” Also, you must turn in your toes. Off at Last. With a snap of the whip and a blast of the horn we swing off from the Shoreham at a smart pace up Vermont and Massa- chusetts avenue, and by way of the Capi- tol, out East Capitol street, and so on, to the Benning road.

Samuel Hooker, a justice of the peace of the Arlington district of Alexandria county, Va., was arrested this morning about 9 o'clock at the entrance of the Aqueduct bridge by Policeman Fritz Passan, upon a warrant sworn out on a charge of criminal libel. Adolph C. Ruetsan is_the complain- ant, and he iives in Virginia, near the Aqueduct bridge, being employed in the State Department. % Ths cause of the trouble is the publica- tion of an article in a local newspaper re- | terring to the brutal treatment of an or- phan boy taken by Ruetsan from the Ger- man Orphan Asylum of this city. T erticle was published August 16 of last | Year, in the shape of an interview with J e Hooker by a reporter. The boy in question is only sixteen years of age, and on account of the alleged ill-treatment he was taken from Ruetsan by Justice Hooker. The prisoner was held at the station, while his brother was summoned to obtain surety for his releas Knocked Down. R. A. Harris, a white man twenty-two years of age, living on the Conduit road near the intersecticn of the New Cut road, was painfully injured this morning in an accident at the terminal of the Great Falls road, at 36th street and Prospect avenue. He was alighting from the ¢ar shortly be- fore 8 o'clock, when he was knecked down and run over by a horse attached to the grocery wagon of Thomas Biggins, the ani- mal being frightened at the car. No blame is att: 1 to the driver, Alfred Dodson. The man was rendered unconscious, and later taken to his home on the car. His injury is slight. Died Yesterdays. Mrs. Mary Bliss, an inmate of the Bap- tist Home, at 3248 N street, died last night of a mplicaticn of «iseases, superin- duced by old age. She had been an in- mate of the home for a few years and had Leen a widow for five years. She was in the seventy-fifth year of her age. She has a@ son living in the west, whose where- abouts is unknown. Her funeral will be held tomorrow from the home, the inter- ment being at Oak Hill. Mr, Wm. O’Brien died this morning short- ly after 1 o'clock at his home on O street fth- street. Consumption was the the deceased being sick for a long pericd, Fis recovery being given up some time ago.

I'll tell you how a woman should do this thing. Don't think that is the first essential in mounting a coach. Take your time. The world was made for the wealthy, so while you're ascending the straight and narrow and very uncertain iron ladder, there’s no need to hurry, and if you do, ‘you're lost. Hold your head up, your back’ straight and mount. That’s all. The guard does the rest. He looks after your petticoats, and when you have finally arrived at the cush- ion—that's the seat beside the man on the box—ray word for it, when you have ar- rived at the cushion, your prosaic career on earth is ended, and there is a new sky over your head, and as for the ground and all that moves thereon below you, so far us that is concerned you are literally, as well as figuratively, “out of sight.” A Strange Metamorphosis. This, however, is not the greatest change a place on the box seat accomplishes in the experience of a woman. I was no sooner planied there than in the twinkling of an eye I became in spirit a “clinger.”. From the new woman, with a mind, and a way, and a will of het own, I was instantly trans- formed into one of those old-fashioned, sweet, shrinking, mindless women who de- pend upon the strength and superiority of the man beside them for every breath they draw. There I was, perched so high in the world, escape to the ground in case of accident was impossible. There, too, were those four flery horses, which might take the bit be- tween thelr teeth and land me low and where they pleased, only as the skill of the man holding the whip over them prevented. Thus all my aggressive, fin de siecle femi- ninity oozed from the tips of my fingers, and while being sufficiently mindful of the dignity of the occasion, and of the wide swath I was cutting, to sit erect, with shoul- ders squared and my nose tilted at a self- sufficient angle, as a matter of fact, like the ivy on the oak, I was depending for dear life on the man on the box, my whole heart attuned to utter contradiction of all mod- ern theories asserting anything like equal- ity of the sexes. Leading Toolers. For men of wealth and leisure to drive a public coach is not so common in this country as in England, where the sport is very popular. Mr. John O'Donnell, who recently married Miss Edie, drove a coach cut of London for eight years. Mr. W. C. Eustis was the first to introduce the fad cn this side, and his sister used to divide the honors and the pleasures of the whip with him. In Washington the revival of interest in coaching is due chiefly to the enthusiasm of Mr. Clarence Moore, who, after having been active in carrying the Coaching Club thrcugh the first year of its experience, last fall, in compeny with Mr. John A. Logan, extended interest in the sport in Ohio, where Mr. Moore and Mr. Logan ran a road coach out of Warrentown, and were the first im this country to add to a coach equipment a cock-horse; that’s an extra horse carried for use in emergency. A Correct Outfit. If you believe that driving a four-in-hand is Idle sport, take the object lesson that I did and learn to the contrary. To drive a coach means beginning with a lot of hard work nobody knows anything about. There is the selection of the coach and the horses, which so great an authority as the Duke of Beaufort pronounces a ‘‘very difficult pro- ceeding.” The Columbia is, I am assured, absolutely correct, and, for the rest it is cer- tainly very smart. Inside it carries a stock of tires you would never dream of being there—among the rest, parts of a harness and tools and materials to supply any want an accident ought occasion. Strapped to the ceiling are the driving hats of the men of the coaching club, their aprons and their “Upper Benjamins.” That last is quite as odd as it sounds. It is a storm coat, almost white in color, and cut so very full that its short length hangs a great deal like a wo- man’s skirt with godets. For the education of the American youth of Washington who are growing up all unconscious of London and that sort of thing, I sincerely hope it will storm some day during the races, so thirty-five minutes out and twenty-nine minutes back, I had all the sensations of having been born wealthy, as well as hand- some. The music of the horn assembled an audience on all sides all along the way, and from the glittering eminence I occupied 1 could look down in contempt on even that most omnipotent of modern institutions, a bicycle. Deference Sho: vn by the Public. Men, women, and, if you'll believe me, small boys on wheels, yield right of way to the four-in-hand of the wealthy. Cable cars halt respectfully, and the clanging of their gong is silenced by the superior warning of the guard’s horn. Policemen, not alone policemen afoot, but those high and mighty representatives of the law, mounted police- men, humbled themselves in our dust, and looked as pleased as a boy with his first suspenders, in recognition of the royal salute Mr. Moore invariably gave to them Absolutely Corre and to little children. The latter, however, I regret to say it, were not at all impressed by the pomp and circumstance of wealth we displayed. Some gave us the laugh, and some gave us the marble heart. “Say, mister, let us hear you toot,” they cried Jeeringly at the impassive guard, and ene grinning black boy on a garbage cart was so regardless of the fact that there are horns and horns, some not to be blown in the same air with others, he up with the old ‘quarter of a yard of tin” that is wont to summon swill to, the alley gate, and touted back a fifteenth amendment response to the classic tooting of our su- perior length and equality: of tin. At the Course, Arrived at the race course, with a flour- ish of authority that reminded me of the old-time couplet, iH “Open the gates as high asthe sky, And let King George and‘his troops pass by.” the coach was admitted by a private gate to a space between thé’ grandstand and club house that has beem specially appro- priated to it. As I walked from the eoach over toward the ladies’ club house, my. feet being once more firmly planted on the Jowly earth, my box-seat spirit of submission gave way to my original self, and I thus thoroughly en- joyed what would doubtless pain the sensi- tive soul of a clinging woman. It was an explanation of just what purpose the ladies’ club house is intended to serve. There are those who believe it was built solely to pro- tect the 400 from contaminating contact with the common and unclean 4,000. Rut a member told me it is where betting men go and check their wives. PAULINE PRY. BETTING WITH A NOD. Eminently Successfal Opening of the Benning Meeting, The initial day of the opening meeting of the recently reorganized Washington Jock- ey Club Saturday was eminently success- ful. While the attendance was not as large as it might have been, yet it was large when the terribly hot weather and the uncertainty attending the matter of betting is considered. The opening cuys of local race meetings have always been the lightest attended, the attendance always daily increasing thereafter, As stated in The Star, there was little or no difficulty in get- ting bets down by men whose financial re- sponsibility was known to the professional bettors, or Who were vouched for by oth- ers. The system adopted was the English or nod system, and while now and then money passed hands, it rarely happened. The small bettors or “pikers” were practi- cally debarred, for in the first place the betting was done only in the paddock, en- trance to which inclosure cost every one $2, and in the second place, there were few, if any, bets of less than $5 accepted. How Betting Was Done., Before the betting began, Robert Pinker- ton, in charge of the éourse, announced, on behalf of the club, that the law against public gambling and the use of any gum- bling device would be rigidly enforced, and that while betting between man and man would not be prohibited, the bettors, pro- fessional and others, must not stand in any one place, or in any way solicit business. The professional bettors were, in most in- stances, attended by a man with a little note book, in which a memcerandam of the wagers Was recorded. But In most in- stances the professional bettor himself car- ried a little note book, in which he record- ed every transaction made by him. District Attorney Birney was at the track, but said to a Star reporter that he did not visit the paddock. He remarked, however, that he knew of no law to pro- hibit the nod system of betting. But he also remarked that if the protessional Let- ters solicited bets or made use of any gam- _bling device, they could be punished under tke law against the setting up of a gaming table. ° Time Made Was Fast. Five races were run, one of them being a steeplechase, and the time made in each event was very fast. The finishes were close throughout the day, and as not a fa- Vorite won, the professional bettors had all the best of the argument with the public. The first race, five furlongs, was won by Jimmy McLaughlin's Premier, splendidly ridden by Griilin, the time, 1.01,’ being with- in a second of the track record. Halton, ridden by Sims, and the favorite, gut off badly and finished a neck behind the win- ner, he being a head in troni of Mangrove, an outsider, Wyndham Walden’s Her Own won the half-mile race for two-year-olds, Marsh Harrier being three Jengths behind and one in front of the favoriie, Joe Hayman. The stake event,the Blue and Grey handi- cap, at six furlongs, was won by the Mor- ris’ Paladin, Hawarden being two lengths behind, and half a length in front of Han- well. The same stable won the fourth race, at a mile with Brisk, beating Sue Kittie by a nose, Ed. Kearney being six length behind. The Easter ‘steeplechase had four start- ers, Mars Chan, Mill Eoy, May Vlossom and Richards. In a bruising finish, the former won by u head from ill Jtoy, the latter being a length in front of May Blos- som. It looked as if Richards would win, but he broke down just before going out of the infield, and did not, of course, finish. “5 Yesterday's Games.

The —_——~. -—_ AMONG THE WORKINGME) Boycotts Declared Of by Typos—Other jatiers of Interest. An interesting meeting of Columbia Typo, phical Union was held yesterday afternoon, and during the session the boy- cott of the Washington Brewing Company was lifted, in accordance with the recom- mendation made a couple of weeks ago by the local Federation of Labor and District Assembly No. 66, Knights of Labor. The determination was also reached that the boycott of the other local breweries and of the Portner brewery at Alexan- dria, Va., will not be lifted until terms satisfactory to the local Federation ar D. A. 66, K. of L., are made with th bodies. The boycott of the Eckington and Sol- diers’ Home Railway Company was also removed, the announcement being male officially that the management of the latter has rescinded the order issued by them several months ago in which employes of the railway company were forbidden to join the railway assembly, and that they have given permission to such of their men 4s so desire to unite with the assembly. Messrs. J. W. Cross and Franx Lerch were elected additional delegaics to the Federation of Trade and Labor Unions of the District of Columbia. There was some talk about an excursion to be given under the auspices .of the union, and while it was understoud that such an event will take place no date was decided upon. The suggestion was made, humorously, that a good time would be about two weeks before the annual election of officers. A Red-Letter Call. At the last meeting of Local Assembly No. 2672, to which a red-letter call was issued, there was a large attendance of members, The red-letter call, which is orly resorted to when matters of great im- portance demand the attention of the mem- bership, resulted not only in bringing to- gether a large representation, but in a love feast by members and visitors, and per- sonal pledges were made by all present to ees future meetings of to send a committee consisting more members to attend the meetings of 2072 fer the purpose of creating an interest in discussions which have be2n arranged for on the principles of the order of the K. of L., in waich both members and visitors will participate. Local 207z is one of tae oldest assemblies in the District of Columbia, and has earned for itself the name of the night school of political economy. Imported Labor, Mr. E. M. Blake, chairman of the legis- lative committee of the Federation of Labor, called on Chief of Police Moore Sat- urday, and requested that official to inform him for the benefit of those whom he rep- resented as to the number of foreign la- borers that have been brought into the Dis- trict of Columbia during the last few months; especially with regard to the con- tract for the Brookland sewer and the con- struction of the Columbia and Maryland electric railway. Chief Clerk Richard Sylvester told Mr. Blake that he would secure the necessary statistics and forward them to him. at Prof. Wayland (o Lecture. Prof. Francis Wayland, LL.D., dean of the law faculty of Yale University, will be in Washington the present week and will deliver three lectures, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, before the law de- partment of Howard University, at the lew building, on 5th street. These lectures will be open to the public, the subjects se- lected—“"The English Constitution,” “The House of Lords,” ‘The House of Commons” —being of interest not only to lawyers, but also from the standpoint of the student of history and of politics. ——. -— For Letters of Administration. A petition for letters of administration was filed today by Attorney C. M. Smith on behalf of the heirs-at-law of the late Wm. A. Sheets, who was killed at the Anacostia yard on the 4th of March last. The cor- cner’s jury found, it is alleged, that the accident was due to a defective coupler. ‘The object of this action on the part of the heirs is to bring suit for damages against the Baltimore and Potomac Rail- road Company. Ss For Divoree. Catherine V. Locke today filed a petition for divorce from John B. Locke. The papers in the case were withheld from publication. NOW FOR BROOKLYN Series With the Grooms to Begin Tomorrow, HARD TASK FOR THE SENATORS Columbian and Catholic Univers- ity Nines to Meet. CARROLLS WIN THE STAR CUP i - The Brooklyn Base Ball Club, under the management of the well-known veteran, Dave Foutz, arrived from Baltimore today. They have just taken two games from the champions and hope to treat the Senators in the same way. There is no question they are much stronger than the New York. Every position is filled by a better player, and. their batteries are far superior to these of Gotham. The Grooms spent the day in reviewing old scenes and renewing old acquaintances. Capt. Joyce realizes that he has a difficult task before him, and will probably put in Mercer tomorrow, while Kennedy is likely to be in the center of the diamond for Brooklyn. There has not been much change in the Brooklyns since last year. Tom McCarthy, the famous Brooklyn fielder, will be seen in the left field. Otherwise the team which showed it- self a good one last year, is unchanged. There's the reliable Capt. Mike Griffin in cen- ter, with young Anderson as his right-hand man; Big Lachance, from up the state, who was angled for by several clubs, covers first; Tom Daly, who used to catch on the Waghingtons back in the eighties, covers second, while another ex-Washington play- er, George Shoch, has been covering third for a few days; Shindle, the regular third, having laid off. No more active short stop is in the league than Tommy Corcoran. That excellent back stop, Grim, is doing the bulk of the catching. The batting order of the teams will prob- ably be as follows: Washington. A Brooklyn. Brown. . f. Griffin. cf. Joyce, b. McCarthy. 1. f. Abbey f. Anderson. r. f. Selbach -L f. Lachance. -Ist b.

The brief downpour is explained by the fact that the aggregation of misnamed base ball Giants, hailing from New York, finally succezded in securirg a victory in the national game over Earl Wagner's Washington club. The score was 7 to 6, and all credit for the winning belongs to George Van Haltren, the center fielder, who voluntarily went into the box at the beginning of the third inning, and rur- prised folks to the number of 3,700, by holding the Senators down to five hits. Jouett Meekin, he of $7,500 battery fame, Started in to twirl, but during the tw acts he appeared in the ‘al fresco stage, souvenirs to the number of five, including home run.and a two-base hit, were pre- sented the batsmen, and Arthur Irwin Moved, seconded and unanimously passed a change. Jack Gilroy relieved Malarke in the eighth, and no hits did he allow the Giants, taough nine are chalked up against Malarke: red.

He Points Out the Importance of Team Work at the Bat. Henry Chadwick, the pioneer of base ball writers, who played the game back in "48, saw Saturday's gume at National Park and was highly pleased. He expressed his gratification at witnessing the first game he had seen played in Washington since 1867 in which there was no “kicking.” Moreover, he commented upon the marked improvement in the locul team over that of last yeer, as plainly manifested to him in Saturday's game, “though,” he remark- ed, “there is still an opening for improved batting.” In speaking of team-work batting, viz “playing for the side” in batting, he sai “I noticed the tendency of the Cincinnati batsmen in their game with the Pitts- burgs last Thursday to keep in the old fung» hitting rut of striving to ‘knock the stuffing out of the ball,’ as the boys say; that is, in hitting hard from the shoulder at swiftly pitched balls, the majority of such hits sending the ball in the air to the outfield, giving chances for catches.” He regarded Brown's hitting for singles, by hard-hit grounders on safe taps, as an example the other batsmen of the team might follow to advantage. He said: “There is a craze on the pert of the occupants of the bleachers to see batsmen ‘line ‘em out’ and ‘hit it over the fence,’ etc.--and the tendency on the part of the majority of batsmen is to respond to this absurd de- mand, instead of striving to play the game scientifically, which, in brief, is to forward runners by base hits and telling sacrifice Fits; in otker words, to bat for the side, and not for a mere record. “I speak of batting in this regard,” he centinued, “because that is the weak point of all teamis at the present time. The play- ers are thoroughly trained in fielding, but training in batting is almost entirely neg- | lected; and practice in base running, too, is far too much neglected. “In the old times I saw so much of the fungo method of batting, when runs were made by the hundred in a game, that I long ago became sick and tired of that novice’s style of batting—the striving for home runs—really the easiest style of bat- ting there is. When asked regarding his visit here, Mr. Chadwick said: “I shall remain here until Thursday night, and I hope to see the lecal team do as well with their next series as they did with the New Yorkers. I hate to see a one-sided race, and hope to see the tailenders of 1895 get well up toward the first division positions this year, especially the Washingtons, which city I regard as the best base ball town in the country, and that is the general opinion among the ma- Jority of the club managers. I have pleas- ant memories of 1867 in Washington, and I am delighted to see what a grand city it has become.” -Base Ball Notes.
