Corbett and Bowerman have been farmed out to the Norfolk team, and will start at once for the Virginia city Manager Irwin of New York Pitcher Flynn off without pay and home. Irwin claims that the young is not in good condition pi will remain at his home until the team goes east, and will then probably be ordered to report. He claims he is In good shape, and has asked Irwin to rejease him. COLLEGE BASE BALL M.A. C.

The Game Betwee! and Mi mits, The Shamrocks and Mile Limits of the District League played a elose and inter- esting game at National Park yesterday afternoon, the formey winning by the score of 5 to 3. The Shamrocks put up an excel- lent fielding game, making but one error, while the Mile Limits are charged with two. The Shamrocks secured nine hits off Purner, while the Mile Limits got nine off Norcomb, their hits, hewever, not be- ing bunched.

DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE. Second Game of the Season to Be Played Tomorrow. The second game of the Departmental League series will take place tomorrow afternoon at National Park at 4:45, between the tears representing the Bureau of En- graving and Printing and the Treasury De- partment. The Bureau team’s work will be watched with considerable interest by those interested in the playing of the different clubs on account uf the new material se- cured by the team, and the friends of the team will be present in force, as was usual with last year’s games in which the Bureau particlpated, and will root for the chain- pions with all possible ardor. The Treasury has been strengthened in many places, and will give the Bureau a much harder fight than it did last year. Its pitchers are in form, and a close and excit- ing game may be looked for. Students Defeat the Soldiers. The Fort Myer and second Georgetown teams tried conclusions yesterday on the grounds of the soldier boys, the collegians coming out ahead with a score of 27 to 18. The game was hard fought, notwithstanding the difference and size of the score, and the men of both teams distinguished them- selves by pretty playing. The two teams lined up as follows: Georgetown—Keane, left field; Reardon, third base; Nacey, ‘right field? Mecuire, center field; Greene, shortstop; Nelson, tirst base; Gaynor, second base; O'Leary and Fincke, catchers; Byrne, second base. Fort 'Myer—Brege, second base; Mahoney, left field; Gilmartin, catcher; ‘Thompson, third base; Carl, shortstop; Behr, center field; Gentry, pitcher and first base; Boylen, first base, and P. Maloney, right field. Californians Not Coming. The University of California athletes will not come east this spring. This conclusion was reached when H. B. Torrey, the hur- dier, told Capt. Merwin that it would be impossible for him to accompany the team on its tour. Torrey is a student assistant in the departnfent of biology. The depart- ment has arranged to go to summer work on San Clemente Island, beginning May 20. This will prevent Torrey from going with the team, and as Torrey is one of the surest point winners in the team, the manaze- ment, after due consideration, thought it best not to attempt the tour without him. Cycle Racing at Paris, A cablegram from Paris to the 4merican Wheelman announces that in the first match race between Ray McDonald, a mem- ber of the American team, and the French champion the American was defeated in both heats. His opponent was Jacquelin, one of the fastest riders in France, who has recently vanquished Jaap Eden, the Dutch champion. The American was loudly cheer- ed as he appeared on the track. Broke the Hammer Throw Record. Harry Cross, Yale’s hammer thrower, in practice yesterday, threw the hammer 143 feet, breaking the best previous record held by Hickok eight feet. This Practically as- sures the charapionship for hammer throw- ing to Yale in the intercollegiate match. Peunsy. Beats Cornell. Cornell was defeated by the University of Pennsylvania at Ithaca, N. Y¥., yester- day, by 10 to 9. The Quakers took tie‘lead in the third inning, and held it the rest of the game.

Is Victory in the Kentucky Derby Not Popular. Ben Brush won the Kemiucky derby yes- terday by a nose; Ben itider second, and Semper Ego third, eight,Jengths back. Ta- bor rode a wretched race gn Ben Eder, and should have won the race; Time, 2.07%. Although the majority.of the betters were down on Ben Brush, his victory was not a popular one. Tapor, on Bea Eder, rode a very weak race, and virtually threw the race away. As the floral wreath was placed around Ben Brush’s neck shouts went up from the grand stand: ‘Take it off; take it off,” “Put it on Ben Eder,” etc. The largest crowd was in attendance since the great Molly McCarthy-Ten Broeck race. Credit Due to Sims. To Willle Sims, rather than Ben Brush, belongs the credit of yictory. The great son of Bramble was not fit for a bruising race, such as he had, »ut under the care- ful guidance of Sims he landed the coveted prize and the first Kentuck derby ever run at the shortened distance of one mile and a quarter. All ‘the honor and the $5,000 which went to Ben Brush properly belong- ed to ader, and had it not been for the stable boy who essiyed to pilot the son of Fonso, there would have been several lengths of daylight. between Hen Brush and the colt which should have showed the way under the wire.

Polled Ben Eder Back. It was in going down the back stretch that Tabor, who fs but little better than a stable boy, committed the first error that cost the Hot Spring’s stable $5,000. From a safe position he had pulled the colt back ush, Ulys- in seventh place at the first half mile. In this position he raced down the baci stretch, making no attempt to come through the field until they had turned in- to the stretch. First Mate continued to show the way, and when the first mile was finished he had an advantage of half a length, Sims having moved Ben Brush up to second place, with Semper Ego. still third, the Winner fourth, The Dragon fith, Parsons sixth, followed by Ben Eder and Ulysses. Sims began riding on the last turn, and when they were straightened for the final run he was leading by a neck from Ben Eder, whom Tabor had brought up trom next to last in a half furlong of the Jour- ney. First Mate was third, Semper Ego, fourth; The Dragon, fifth, and the remain Ing three strung out. “Ben Brush wins,” went up from a thousand throats, almost simultaneously, as Willie Sims, inch by inch, increased his lead to the eighth. A Pretty Straggle. But there was another horse in the race, who, despite the poor riding of his jockey, promised the son of Bramble the race of his life. Ben Brush did not have much left, but Sims was getting what little that did remain out of him, while Ben Eder, with even, steady stride was gaining or the colt. For the last sixteenth of the journey a prettier battle of equines was never wit- nessed. Sims, by his good work, kept Ben Brush in front by a scant nose,while Tabor, apparently unconscious that he was in a horse race, sat idly on Ben Eder and saw the Fonso colt lose a race that properly belonged to him. “It's a dead heat,” followed from the crowd, around the Judges’ s*and, as the horses shot under the wire five lengths ahead of Semper Ego, who wis five lengths from First Mate, the same distance sepa- rating the Dragon. The Winner was sixth, Parsons, seventh, and U eighth. The judges seemed a little uncertain themselves, but after a wait of a minute they hung out the numbers which made Ben Brush the victor and Ben Eder 3e-ond. L. A. W.

AWHEEL IN HOLLAND A Washingten Woman in the Land of Dykes and Windmills, ON THE BEACH OF SCHEVENINGEN Wheeling Along Canals and Visit- ing Quaint Dutch Towns. QUEER CLOTHES AND CUSTOMS . a The ride by bicycle from London to Har- wick is decidedly uninteresting and tir some, and we were glad to find ourselves safely on board the steamer bound for the Hook of Holland one night, a little more than three weeks after arriving in Eng- land, with the delight before us of visiting the land of dykes and windmills, wooden shoes and gutturals, After our whecls had been safely cared for, we stood upon deck and watched the unique way in which the fretght was be- ing carried on board. Al! the bagzage, trunks, boxes and barrels were piled upon a car, and the car, load and all, lifted bodily, by means of a huge crane, and deposited in the hold. Not a moment was lost, and after the last passenger was safely on board the gang plank was drawn in and the steamer In motion. On arriving at Delfi, by a similar crane, the car was Ifted and de- pesited on the shore, with its burden in- tact, ready to be unl aded by the wait Dutchmen on the dock In the morning early we sighted the Hol- land shore. like bag individual far the usual char and boat, nt.

So without tarrying in Rotterdam we set off a little after noon for Tire | Hague, about thirty miles away, which we heped to reach before dark without hurry. To The Hague by Wheel. The rcads were fairly good, and we greatly enjoyed the fact that there were no hills to climb, and nothing to obstruct our “miles of view.” The canals along our way became little shallow brooks that were here ard there obstructed by boards, laid across, as in our irrigation ditches in Cal- ifornia, by which the water was turned off at will. As we came nearer the coast the Toads were hea and we had more sand, and found pedaling more laborious in con- sequence. Tired cut from our exertions, we retired at once on reaching the city, and enjoyed our night’s rest in a comfort- able bed in a well-kept boarding house that was entirely modern in all its featur Next morning, after a walk around town, we decided to take the electric car for Sche- veningen, the fashionable seaside resort of w lly quaintly pictur- j and the country. As it happened to be Sun- day, we would be certain to find a crowd at the beach enjoying themselves. On the Beach at Scheveningen. We reached the seashore in about ten minutes, and at first glimpse of the beach, with its children digging and delving in the sand, with toy pails and little shovels, we rubbed our eyes to make sure we were not really once more at home. But a sec- ond glance was sufficient to dispel the illu- sion, for the shore was lined with a multi- tude of rattan seats,in which the occupants were almost hidden under the canopy of their chairs. The scene before us brought vividly to mind the painting in the Corcoran Art Gal- lery, “On the Beach at Scheveningen,” and almost unconsciously we expected to see the lady in the lavender dress with volum- inous flounces, and the other figures repre- sented in the picture, among the group 1b fore us, sitting in the sand, in their cov. ered chairs, for the scene was indeed an exact reproduction in every tone and detail. Along the board walk are small booths that sell high-priced souvenirs and curios, and at cther stands you may purchase real “circus lemonade” under a_high-sounding, but to us unpronounceable, Dutch name,but which added immensely to its flavor. A number of pleasure boats were bobbing about in the surf, but a threatening sky and cold wind prevented the bathers from taking a dip that afterncon. The great majority of people seen were well-to-do Hollanders in most fashionable attire, but sitting in the sand—because un- able to afford the luxury of hiring a chair— were a number of the people whom we had come so far to see. Three country girls, in their Sunday best, delighted me with their quaintness. Their fresh, young faces looked out demurely from hideous lace caps, starched stiff, and drawn over their hair, sleeked back from the forehead and wound in a hard knot behind, dimly seen through the white cap, while over the forehead were fastened huge silver ornaments, more like bed springs than anything else I can think of, that jumped up and down with every movement of the wearer. They wore an immense number of full skirts, gathered round their waists, and the most comical sight I have ever witnessed was to see one of these Dutch maidens prepare to seat herself, waich she did by carefully lifting each individual black skirt one after another, throwing it over her back and then dropping down quickly onto the sand, looking like a great circle of black alpaca with a very small Dutch maiden in the center or like a cloth penwiper with a quaint little Holland doll in the middle. Tourists Awheel. A number of cyclists were seen at the beach enjoying themselves, among whom it was easy to pick out the tourists. The Hollanders ride English wheels as a ru but many of German make are also seen, that do not differ much from the English article; both being well made, but absurdly ‘avy and clumsy. ranks thing about these foreign wheels we had to admire, and that is their cellu- loid covers, that entirely inclose the gear. ‘They are white and so thin as to be tra: parent, and while light and not unsightly keep the chain, &c., quite free from dust and dirt of all kinds. . When the crowd suddenly rushed toward the Karazal, where the hotels are locaied, we made our way with what haste we could, but on arriving at the place found every inch of room in front of the hotels | already occupied by people eager to get a peep at the carriages driving up tn state, with gay outriders and clinking harness on the double tecms. In a moment I had mounted a table—still full of glasses and bottles, where a party had been enjoying themselves on the. hotel porch—and from this new point of vantage I could see over the heads of the crowd below and caught a glimpse of the three equipages, with prancing steeds, that had occasioned all the tumultuous cheering and excitement. No little queen came forth, as we expect- ed, but instead, there alighted four gor- geously-clad Leyden students, college boys, in silk hose and velvet doublets. ‘They wore large, soft sombreros, on which long os- trich plumes waved and nodded, and their stout legs were incased in shining boots, of light tan kid, lined with royal purple vel- vet, that was puffed through the slashes at the knee, By speaking with an Englishman resid- ing at The Hague we learned that it has been the Dutch costume for centuries for the Leyden students, after the fashion of the Mardi Gras festivities in New Orleans, to appear once a year in full regalia and to be given the liberty and keys of the town. There were twelve students, and they made a most picturesque groun, as they stcod twanging their mandolins and gui- tars, singing love songs like old-time troul | adors, or delighting the crowd with a rol- licking Dutch college song, that elicited shouts of laugiter and approval, To Amsterdam by Wheel. Next morning it had cleared sufficiently for us to start forward once more on our winding way, this time with our faces turned toward Amsterdam and the north, to visit the little Dutch town of Zaandam, where we were told windmills of all kinds could be seen by the dozens, and Holland- found still uncontaminated by English S$ and notions. consulting our Holland ew ready to depart from The gue by wheel, we discovered that the ance to Amsterdam was nearly, if not qu. forty-three miles, so we lost no time in the morning, as an early start is a time table, sreat advantage for many reasons.

M. —_——=__ LLECTRICAL LOCOMOTIVES. The Advantage of This Motive Power Over Steam. From the St. Louis Republic. The great electric locomotives used in the Belt line tunnel at Baltimore are powerful engines, and the quickness with which they can be started is astonishing. When being first tried the operators found this very troublesome. For, by turning on the cur- rent tvo suddenly, they generally started the locomotive so quickly that it snapped coupling pins and links, and even tore out the drawheads. After some practice, however, the opera- tors learned the difficult knack of starting a heavy train. Now they find it no trouble to bring the train to full specd from a standstill. And they agree that it is much easier to avoid jerks in increasing the speed than en the steam engine. No elecirician is needed on these engines, for the operators, who are old engineers drawn from the raflroads, have mastered their new machines and keep them in thor- oughly good condition. The result is that the cost of using the electric locomotives Will be much less than was supposed. The results thus far are very gratifyin~. The engines, which weigh ninety-seven tens, have exerted over 60,000 pounds draw- bar pull in the tunnel, where the track is damp and greasy. The speed, too, is very great. They have made sixty-one miles an hour on an upgrade, which is equal to seventy or eighty on the level. They ex- pect to pull a 400-ton passenger train at the rate of forty-five miles an heur. The advantage of electricity over steam as motive power is not enly in its steadi- ness. The smoke from steam engines makes dirt and poisons the air of the large cities. The sparks are very dangerous and the noise disagreeable. Besides, it is thought that electric locomotives will be able to make almost incredibly fast time. And even if they do not displace the steam locomo- tive for long distance traffic, they will cer- tainly be used almost altogether on ele- vated roads and street car lines wherever the grades are not too steep. a Working Both Wayn. Fron: the Argonaut. e A Washington correspondent started a story about Prohibitionist Hull of Iowa, to the effect that he once admired a knife of Representative Chickering’s which had in it a hook, “designed,” Chickering sald, “to remove stones which might become fast- ened in a horse's hoof on a rocky road.” Hull admired it so much that Chickering gave it to him end Hull took it home to show to his wife. Mrs. Hull looked at the knife and then at her husband. “John,” said she, “any man who has served three terms as secretary of the state senate, been twice Heutenant governor and served two terms in Congress, must be a pretty good man if he doesn’t know a champagne open- er from a hoof cleaner.” The story was copied all over the state, and commented on in a variety of way. Then the Congressman met the correspond- ent who first published the story. He was smiling al! over. “You did me a great serv- ice,” Hull sald, wringing his hand affection- ately; “all the prohibitionists are taking my wife's view of my ignorance, and all the ‘antis’ are Insisting that I'm a devil of a gcod fellow for imposing so successfully on my wife. It works in my behalf whichever way you teke it.” BON MARCHE, 314 and 316 7th st At the Soda Fountain tomorrow ‘Cream Soda, with fresh straw Ice Se At the Cundy Dept. tome .
