The pupils of the Washington High School, seventh and eighth divisions, held an entertainment at Central Hall, over Center Market, before an audience of about 1,200 Friday evening for the benefit of the Library and Art League. While the prin- cipal feature of the entertginment was the competitive drill between companies A and B, composing the battalion of cadets, the program contained many other interesting numbers. The first two numbers on the program the “King Cotton March” and the sle of Champagne,” by the Howard Uni- versity Mandolin Club.” This was fol- lowed by the second most prominent fea- ture of the pregram, a comedietta, in one act, by Henry Old- ham Hanlon, entilied “A Double Shuffle,” by the following cast, which played with the ability of veter- ans: Fred. Somers, a collegian, Mr. Frank H. Burgess; Jack Hil- ‘on, “stroke” of the ‘varsity eight,” Mr. R. C. Bruce; Richard Wentworth, professor entomology, Mr. ‘John- W. White; Fred.’s sister, Miss Hel- May Singleton, Fred.’s flance, Miss Grace M. Storum. The cast was selected by Mr. Parker .N. Bailey, instructor of German and Eng- lish, who had direct charge of the re- hearsing, and is responsible for much of the success. The Mandolin Club played “‘The Daughter of Love,” and a chorus of one hundred pupils, under the direction of Prof. J. T. Layton, professor of music, sang most creditably “‘Come to Me, Love.” Another excellent number was “The Rataplan Chor- us,” with dumb bells, by Helen Bell, Sadie Clarke, Stella Cutlar, Edwardena Frazier, Anna Harrison, Beatrice Ridgi2y, Beatrice Warwick, Fannie Burrell, Viola Collier, Julia Davis, Harriet Gillem, Bertha How- ard, Bertha Saunders, Daisy Wiley, Ger- trude Clarke, Daisy Costin, Gertrude Dowl- ing, Louise Green, Annie Lawrence and Helen Shaw. The chorus was accompanied on the plano by Addie Lewis. The class was trained by the health directress, Miss Hattie B. George, and did exceedingly well, the exercise being in the nature of a drill, which was executed with as much precision and regularity as the cadets’ drill. After a medley by the Mandolin Club the principal event of the evening, the competitive drill, took place. Company A, under the command of Cap- tain Roscoe C. Bruce, drilled first, and it was apparent that the company had a large number of supporters, from. the amount of orange and purple ribbon worn by people in the audience. Several indi- vidual errors were noticeable, the principal one being a fire by one of the cadets when aim was given. Several mistakes were made in the setting-up exercises, and the captain gave the command “Fire at will” at the wrong time. With the exception of these few mishaps the drill was excellent, and the company scored 370 points against 875 by company ‘B. The drill of the latter command was probably the best ever pre- sented by a company of the seventh and eighth divisions. Every movement was ex- ecuted with snap and precision. Several individual errors were also apparent in this company, and the drill was almost lost by the omission of four movememts in the program, but as the other company also omitted a couple of numbers B's chances were not affected much. While the judges, Capt. C. H. Ourand, Capt. E. C. Edwards and Lieut. C. A. Meyer of the National Guard, were busy deciding on the winner, the audience was entertained by a chorus of thirty, which sang Gounod’s janctus,’’ under the di- rection of Mr. Walter B. Hayson; a tenor obligato, by Mr. William Goodrich, and “The Directorate March,” by the Mandolin Club. Capt. C. H. Ourand announced that com- pany B won the banner and red ribbons. This was received with deafening cheers from the many friends of the company. After the tumult had subsided District Commissioner Truesdell presented the prizes and a silver medal to the captain in_a few well-chosen remarks. The cadets who received the red ribbons and are members of the prize company are Capt. Clarence K. Wormley, First Lieute: ant Archibald M. Ray, Second Lieutenant John W.

After an absence of a week old Sol re- turned to duty this morning, and im- mediately began active work removing the dampness at National Park in prepara- tion for the base ball game this afternoon. In view of the gratifying record of the Washington club on the western trip, a big turnout of the local rooters is expect- ed, while the fact that this is ladies’ day will add much to the gala appearance at the park. No matter how great the attendance, however, ample accommodations for all have been provided. The mammoth new stand, now in course of erection, has been prepared, by dint of considerable “hustle,” to receive today’s crowds, and the fans will undoubtedly be much surprised at the charged appearance of the park. First of all, a wide boardwalk has been laid from 7th street to the entrance gate, and en- trance to the stand will be by an incline from the gate to the rear of the stand. Win Mercer will pitch for the home: team this afternoon, and that fact will prove an additional attraction for the ladies. Among other numbers, the band is to play the “Win Mercer Caprice,” a composition re- cently dedicated to the Washington Base Baill Club. A telegram was received by Mr. Wagner yesterday afternoon .from Captain Joyce Stating that owing to inability to make railroad connections the club would not reach this city until this morning, and not late last evening, as was expected. This proved a general disappointment, and the reception arranged in honor of the players had to be declared off. Cincin- nati, however, rolled into the depot shortly before midnight from Cumberland, Md., where Brush’s men played an exhibition game yesterday afternoon. With the ex- ception of Rhines, who was injured a few days ago, all the men under contract are carried on the trip. Cincinnati is playing great ball, the club standing second in the championship race, and the three games in this city are apt to be unusually interesting. The Reds include Burke, originaily of Cincinnati, but later of New York; Hoy, for several years Washington's center fielder, and a piayer who ranks high in popular favor among the local rooters; Miller, for several sea+ sons in the Cincinnati ranks; Bug Holliday, who is too well known to need extended mention; Buck Ewing, the old New Yorker, and for the past two seasons manager- captain of the Reds; Frank Foreman, at one time a Washington man; the three Cincinnati reliables, McPhee, Dwyer, Smith, Irwin, Gray, Fisher and other class A ball tossers. The Cincinnati club is cer- tainly entitled to respect. President John T. Brush and Secretary Bancroft are with the party. The batting order of the two teams to- day will probably be: CINCINNATI.

Jennings leads Baltimore at bat for the first twenty-eight games, with an average of .366, having made 41 hits out of 112 times at bat. For every day Amos Rusie lays off and enjoys a life of ease at Indianapolis it costs him $13.83. : The Boston team has entirely changed its tactics. If there is a kick to make Duffy is the only orator and loud coaching has been crossed off the list. It is pee raat Rusile pats himself on the back eyery tinie New York loses a ball game. LatterW‘hé has put a pad on his back and tak¢h 'towearing a glove. “‘Tom' Rafhis holds the strike-out record, and I caught him in the game in which he made’ fis record,” said the for- mer backstoff’'James Kerens. “ ‘Tom’ struck out eig] of ‘Charley’ Comiskey’ Browns on the isville grounds in 1887." It is snusuat fir a@ catcher to play at any other positi in the infield save at first base. FarreH, during Stafford’s ab- sence, will play short for New York, and if he does it ell as he did yesterday there should nb kick coming. The Giants Gari"t stand the pace unless they get another reliable pitcher. Clarke and Meekin can’t do al Ithe work, and Doheny isn’t to be relied upon. It doesn’t make any djfference what twirler Mr. Freedman secures, but somebody is need- ed. Amos Rusia would be the proper man. —Baltimore Herald. The Cleveland club will most likely be Playing Sunday games before long. Robi- son is disgusted with the people who ad- vised him to quit playing Sunday.

Printers Won From the Infantry Mine on Error: The Bureau and Light Infantry teams met in the Departmental League series yesterday afternoon, and the former team Proved the better mud horses, winning by 9 to 5. The grounds were wet and soggy, and brilliant plays were lacking, but notwith- standing this the game was not devold of features. Burns for the Light Infantry held the heavy-hitting Bureau team down to four hits, while Bernard was nearly as effective, and was given much better sup- port. Hager was absent from the soldiers’ infield, and this tended somewhat to weaken its strength. Burns fielded his po- sition well, with nine assists, wiflle Klein- schmidt also played well in left field. Fla- herty in left field for the Bureaus also piayed a good came. The Bureaus won the game in the second when five runs were made off a flurry of four errors, a base on halls and a hit. core: LIGHT INFANTRY BUREAU. -H.0. RH.O0.A.E.

A meeting of the joint committee, composed of rep- resentatives from the Columla Athletic Club, the Analostan Boat Club and the Potomac Boat Club, was held last even- ing at the club house of the latter organi- zation for the purpose of selecting the date and making the preliminary arrangements, and {it was generally held that the outlook for aquatic sports the coming season was exceptionally , bright. Those who were present were: Messrs. Stinemetz and Moore of the C. A. \C., Fisher and Moore of the A, B. C. and Nolan, Roulette and Schmidt of the P. B. ©. Mr. Stinemctz was elect- ed president of the committee, Mr. Fisher secretary and Mr. Roulette treasurer.

The events for eights will be one and one-half miles straight- away. It was also decided to give an excursion to Marshall Hall July 20, to raise the nec- essary funds for the carrying on the re- gatta, and a committee, consisting of Messrs. Oscar P. Schmidt, chairman; Chas. Moore and C. Baker, was appointed to look after the matter. The regatta com- mittee will hold its next meeting at the Analostan club house next Tuesday even- ing. Won the Prize. The tenth annual tournament of the Southern Tennis Association came to a close yesterday afternoon, the honors in the singles being carried off by J. Parmly Paret of New York. Paret and Geoghe;an were the contestants yesterday, and the ‘Washington player was beaten in three straight sets. A. H. S. Post of Baltimore, who won last year the bowl representing the championship of the south, defaulted, and Paret was awarded the prize. The score in the finals was: Paret beat Geoghe- ghan, 6-0, 6—2, 6-4. Yale Crew on the Harbor. The Yale crew yesterday transferred their place of practice from Lake Whitney. to the New Haven harbor, where they will row till they leave for England.

To the Editor ef The Evening Star: Supplementing ‘the full description on Saturday last of Commissioner Powell’s admirable project, which he calls the “fort drive,” I sug¥est’another name which will more accurately express the objects intend- ed. Tt is more than a drive—it is a grand boulevard around the high elevations of the District. It is more than a boulevard to one fort, for it is intended to connect the cordon of forts which surrounded the city during he war. It should, therefore, be called the Inter-fort Boulevard.

HONOR THEIR DEAD Alexandria Celebrates a Memorable Day in 1861. GRAVES OF UNKNOWN-NOT FORGOTTEN Precions Memories of a Heroic Past Rise Again. A LOCAL HOLIDAY Sunday was the thirty-fifth anniversary of the departure of the confederate troops from this city. As the occasion fell on Sunday this year the celebration was held yesterday. About ten years ago, when the idea of a public demonstration to celebrate the day began to be thought of, the inter- est was but small, but as the years rolled by the demonstrations became more elab- orate, until now the celebration has become almost universal. The celebration has now become a permanent one, if we may judge from the crowds that gathered around the statue of the confederate soldier at the in- tersection of Washington and Prince streets, which was erected by the Robert E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans of this city, and unveiled May 24, 1889, and which has bared its head to winter's blasts and summer's suns to do honor to those “who did not return.” - Early yesterday morning the ladies of the Daughters of the Confederacy and the Woman's Auxiliary were at Armory Hall, The Confederate Monument. receiving and arranging the flowers which were to be used in decorating the monu- ment and mound. At 11 o'clock the ladies decorated the monument. On the south side of the granite shaft was a scroll with the words, ‘‘Our Dead,” and on the north side, “We Honor Them.” The effect was beautiful, and the ladies under whose care the work was done were very much compli- mented. Graves of the Unknown. The mound in Christ Church yard was covered with beautiful flowers, a testimo- nial to the “Unknown” confederate soldiers buried there. All the graves of soldters in and near the city were decorated. At 5 o'clock the exercises proper were held. The procession formed on Washington street, the right resting on Cameron. The pro- cession was composed of the following: Mounted police, Third Virginia Regiment Drum Corps, Alexandria Light Infantry, Robert E, Lee Camp Confederate Veterans, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Friendship Drum Corps, and the Columbia Steam Fire Engine Company. Col. William A. Smoot of this city, grand commander Confederate Veterans, state of Virginia, was chief marshal. When com- pany A, seventeenth Virginia regiment, which consisted of Alexandrians, left the city, May 17, 1861, Col. Smoot léft with them as a private. After they had engaged in a few battles Mr. Smoot joined the now famous Black Horse Cavalry, and shortly after his enlistment with them was made colonel. He is one of the few surviving members of that famous brigade. He was assisted by the following aids: Maj. Rob- ert Hunter and Messrs. Lawrence Wash- ington, A. C. Wyckoff, George Uhler, Geo. H. Robinson and William Simpson. The Procession. Owing to the fact that many of the “vets” have reached the age when a long walk does rot agree with them, the route of the procession was shortened. Shortly ‘after 5 o'clock Colonel Smoot gave the command to march, and the following route was traversed: Down Cameron to Royal, to King, to Henry, to Patrick, to Prince, to the monument corner of Wash- ington street, where the procession di- Rev. vided and formed a quadrangle about the Dr. Williams, monument. The exercises then commenc- ed with the singing of the hymn “Rock of Ages” by a chorus, composed of mem- bers of the different church choirs, and led by Mr. H. K. Fields. Rev. Dr. Berryman Green offered prayer. The choir then sang the hymn “Some Time We Will Under- stand.”” Music followed, by Friendship Drum Corps. Dr. Williams’ Speech. Rev. Dr. J. T. Williams of the M. E. Church South, the orator of the day, deliv- ered an address, which was most heartily applauded. Dr. Williams said: . “I desire to take with you a backward and then a forward look. Hack first to the good year 1861, with its intenze excite- ment and joyous enthusiasm, with the bright uniforms, polished guns, rattling sabers and grim cannon waiting their first baptism of fire. The music, the cheers, the laughter, the sweet faces of the girls az they blushingly told the boys good-bye, and the proud step of those same boys as they marched away under the bonnie blue flag. It did not seem much like war until the first Manassas, and then the south settled down with grim determination to fight it out—and she did. “Some of you, my comrades, marched on a certain day in 1861 over this spot seek- ing rebel lines and giving up your city for awhile rather than have trouble with the blue people who were prospecting on this side of the river, and it was many a day before you got back.” “Never men carried lighter, braver hearts through hunger and thirst and the storm of battle than did the rebel of 1861-5. He was always ready for a fight or a frolic. Neith- er fierce battles, hard marches, cold, hun- ger nor defeat discouraged him. He jested in the camp, on the march, in the line of battle, and even when for a moment he got a little homesick. The rebel was not a hire- lrg, neither was he fighting for mere glory. The best of the south went to the field and lay cold and hungry in the trenches, ani- mated by a patriotism as pure as ever filled the hearts of men. They fought for the right as they saw it. “If there was now and i a desertion, some poor, ragged fellow going home to help his wife in ner struggle agatnst star- vation, the wonder is not that there was one, but that there was not more, and that when the last black days came, brave and loyal men did not go home to die with their loved ones, if they must die, or live to care for them if they were allow--d to live. “We are not here to revive the passions of the past; we salute the flag of our re- united country and join hands with the men of the blue, but at the same time we hold to the memories of the days in which we have often lived again ‘n our dreams, and never regret that we fought that fight which could not end as we wished. ‘Comrades, the shadows are lengthening, ard every year we are getting hearer the | last battlefield of earth. Each year some drop from the ranks, some fail to answer the roll call, and the band of veterans grows less and less. “Letus be ready when the marching or- ders come from above, not vnly to die as brave men die, but to fall asleep as Chris- tians do at the eventide, to waken in the brighter morning of the land where no shadows fali and no midnight elarms ever come.” er Dr. Williams’ address the choir sang “Lead, Kindly Light,” which was followed by music, during which the mem- bers of R. E. Lee Camp strewed fiowers at the base of the monument. The line then reformed and the march to Christ Church was commenced, the drum corps playing sacred music. When Christ Church Was revched a quartet, composed of Messrs. Frank Field, H. K. Field, Horace Swartz and J. F. Roberts, sang in a most touch- ing manner the hymn, “Abide With Me,” after which the mound, which contains a large number cf unknown confederate soldiers, was silently deccrated with flow- ers by all the organizations in line. Taps were then sounded on the bugle by Mr. Philip Briscoe and the exercises were brought to a close. How They Looked. The members of R. E. Camp, in charge of Commander Thomas Perry, wore their gray uniforms, slouch hats and canes, and car- ried small bouquets to place on the monu- ment and mound. The Sons of Confederate Veterans were in citizens’ dress, and were headed by Mr. J. J. Green. The Alexandria Light Infantry, In command of Capt. George A. Mushback, made a fine appear- ance. They were dressed in their fatigue uniforms. The Columbia Steam Fire En- gine Company made a fine appearance, as they always do, and were loudly cheered all along the line of march. They e dressed in the regular uniforms, composed of red shirts, trimmed with white, black trousers and’ helmets. They had in line their champion engine, which has been so successful in the many contests, drawn by their handsome pair of dapple grays; also their hose wagon, drawn by “Rock,” the pride of the Alexandria fire department. The company was in command of Foreman Charles Duffy, and was headed by the Friendship Drum and Cornet Band of this city. a MORE TALES OF WOE.

[ONE HUNDRED YEARS How Tennessee Will Oelebrate Her Centennial. PREPARING A GREAT EXPOSITION Inauguration of the Enterprise in Approaching June. SUCCESS SEEMS Tennessee is preparing to utilize the one hundredth anniversary of her existence by giving an exposition intended to show how lusty and vigorous she is in everything that means enterprise, advancement and Prosperity, and June 1 next it will be in- eugurated with fitting pomp and ceremony. Invitations have been sent out to the Pres- ident, his cabinet and other leading public officials and to representative men all over the country, and the acceptances already received indicate a large and notable at- tendance. The enterprise was broached some years ®go and the suggestion met great favor all cver the state. Immedicte steps were taken te perfect an organization, and in a short while the plans were perfected. While the centennial birthday of the state occurs June 1, this year, it was decided to inau- gurate the exposition then, but to postpone its opening to the public in general until June 1, 1897. The actual construction of the exposition began in the autumn of 1 when the management decided that four. teen principal buildings, finished on the ex- terior with white staff, like the memorable edifices at Chicago, should be erected as the central plan of the demonstration which was to be so novel in state celebrations. The names given them are: Commerce, fine arts, agriculture, machinery, transporta- tion, history, minerals and forestr: , aie en culture, auditorium, woman's, ch negro, live stock and administration. The administration building w ashed to com- pletion at once, and the construction of the commerce, fine arts, ehinery, transpor- tation, auditorium and woman's buildings began early in January. The visitor to Nashville June 1, when the exposition will be formally inaugurated, will therefore find seven of the main build: ings practically complete, the walks firm and smooth, two lakes brimming with pure water, and green grass, flowers, shrubs and shade trees in all parts of the grounds After June 1, seven more large edit one of which has been begun, will be put under vigorous construction.

Excepting the administration building, the woman's building is nearest to com- pletion. The interior is finished, and the staff has been put on the cuter walls. The eight beautiful columns that are to adorn the front of the edifice are now being placed in position. The auditorium only lacks a portion of tts exterior coat « the interior, including the s« pecple, having been finishe touch here and there. Work on the Parthenon, where the arts will be displayed, progres for the reason that the edifice, plete, will be an exact reproduction, to outward appearances, of the criginal built at Athens in the time of Pericles. The cella walls have been made of brick, and the roof is being constructed of steel and glass, which, with a concrete floor, will make a fire-proof wali for the treesures that will be gathered there. fine s carefully, when com- The fine arts department has made fine progress. Juries of selection have been ap- pointed in New York, Boston, Philadel- phia, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Louisville, Cin- cinnati, Chicago and New Orleans, and some of the most valuatle pieces of Amer- ican art have been promised for the Par- thenon. The Exposition Grounds. The exposition grounds comprise a park of some two hundred acres, lying two miles west of the state capitol, and approach- ed by three lines of electric cars and a steam railway.

An elaborate system of walks been laid off and macadamized id finish- ing construction will be of asphalt sands of roses and evergreens b set out, and the recently graded places have been sodded or sown with blue grass. Two lakes of pure water and mary fine shade trees add the final touch of beauty to the energetic scene of construction. Exhibits and Exhibitors. The intention is to make the exposition interstate and international in its char- acter, and to display the end of a century of vigorous history, and to present for six months from a material standpoint an ar- ray of most attractive features. Congress has passed a bill admitting foreign goods intended for exhtbition free of duty, and the management is using every endeavor to bring together the most unique and at- tractive things procurable, and the best ex- hibits in each class are solicited. No charg> will be made for a reasonable amount of space for exhibits in any of the buildings, but each exhibit offered will be subject, for acceptance or rejection, to the committee on classification, with the ap- proval of the director general, composed of the heads of departments. In order that the exhibit mcy be in place on the opening day, the exhibitor will be required to make a deposit in cash with the management when the exhibit is accepted. An agree ment will then be entered into, under which Thou- the management promises to have its buildings ready January 1, 1897, and the exhibitor agrees to forfeit the de it if the exhibit is not in place and ready for inspection on May 1, 1897. The siiding scale for these deposits will be: For the first 100 square feet, 50 cents per square foot; for the sccond space, that is, 100 to 500 feet, cents: 25 cents ill be collected for each square foot when more than 500 feet are required. Exemptions: Horticul- ture, forestry and any exhibits not made for profit. The deposits will be held as a sacred fund and returned, in cash, to ex- nivitors whose exhibits are complete on the opening day. All questions of delay in getting exhibits in place, arising from un- avoidable causes, will decided by the committee on classification, presi over by the director general hibit and con- cession application blarks will be furuish- ed on request, by the director general, E.
