Then Washington will also endeavor to give the visitors some pointers in the way of a Garrison finish.

Billy Mc- Gunnigle, the manager of the team, years ago was one of the star players of the Buffalo club, and at that time President Cleveland was practicing law in that city.

So you are managing the Louisville Base Ball Club now? Well, T bots for your sake, Mac, that the team wins.” . “Thank you,” Mr. Cleveland,” responded McGunnigle. “I hope, Mr. Cleveland, that Louisville wins the pennant, and that you will accept a third term. I know you would Le elected.” The President, with a deprecatory nod of the head, replied: “No third term for me. Really, I couldn’t stand it.” Subsequently, to another member of the team, he said that he knew McGunnigle years ago in Buffalo, and that he was then a splendid ball player. Voting for the Players.

Faculty Base Ball Team, The members of the faculty of the Cen- tral High School have recently organized a base bail team, under the captaincy of Mr. Robert W. Test, clerk of the school, and management of Mr. Harry English, head of mathematics. Mr. Harry T. Domer has been appointed treasurer, and will play second base on the team. After the members have gotten into good playing ape the team will make a trip through the towns of Virginia shortly after the close of schgol. The makeup of the team follow: is Reichelderfer and C, Kleiner, catch- M. Shuster and H. M. Shuster, H. English, first base; H. T. Do- Hay, and has been decided upon as L. H. third base; W. P. .

The playing of | the faculty team showed that they were familiar with all of the points of the game, the fielding of Messrs. Test, Domer, Meloy and Yount being errorless, and the battery work of H. M. Shuster and C. Kleiner be- ing superb, the former holding the students: down to half a dozen hits, and the latter causing them to hug thelr bases closely. METEOR AWAY AHEAD. Meloy, right M. C. The Kuiser’s Yacht Again Shows Her Heels to Britannia. DOVER, England, June 8.—In the regatta of the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club, Britannia, Ailsa, Meteor and Batanita started in the order named at 11:30 a.m, ‘A light southwest wind was blowing. The course was about fifty miles long. The Saint, Penitent and Niagara started at noon, in the order given, in the race for the 20-raters, under the auspices of the same club. Up to 12:30 p.m, only the faintest airs had assisted the racers, but the Meteor had stolen away to the westward and was about a mile ahead of Satanita, only these two yachts having succeeded in weathering the pier end. Britannia and Ailsa, further out in the channel, were obliged to anchor in order to prevent the tide from driving them away. In the contest of the smaller yachts, at the same hour, the Saint had a long lead on Niagara, but Penitent was badly handi- capped. Fifty minutes elapsed before she crossed the line and went in chase of her opponents. The course for the large yachis was to Boulogne-sur-Mer and back; the course for the smaller yachts was originally twenty- four miles, but owing to the paltry wind the distance was reduced to twelve miles. Niagara crossed the finish line at 5:10.48, 9 minutes ahead of The Saint and 11 min- utes before Penitent. Meteor won the race for large yachts, with Britannia second. Western High School Records. A Western High School boy writes to The Star to correct a statement in reference to the Washington High School field sports. It was announced that “The previous records established in the athletic meets of November 7, 1890, on the Central High School grounds and November 7, 1801, on Analostan Island were all broken, except one, which was equaled.” This is not quite accurate. In the High School meet on Analostan Island in the spring of 1892 Guy E. Davis of the Western High School made 10 4-5 seconds in the 100 yards dash, which record stands still untouched. The pole vault record is still held by the Western, as G. E. Davis cleared nine feet one inch in 1892, beating the nine-foot vault made by Irving Gregg of the Central on High School grounds in 1890. The running high jump Yecord is also still with the Western, G. E} Davis having done five feet one inch in 1892, this jump being one inch better than ‘the contest in 18%, which resulted in a tie between I. Gregg of Central and Paul Taussig of Western, both doing five feet. The 220-yard hurdle at the recent con- test just equaled the time of thirty sec- onds made by Joe Taussig in 1802 TWO WAITERS AND A BRAWL, Washington Wheelmen Fared Poorly on Their Baltimore Dinner. Three hundred and eighty-five members of the United Wheelmen of this city, to- gether with a number of unattached cy clists and twenty-five ladies, went to Balti- more yesterday morning for a run on Maryland soil, with the escort of Balti- more riders, making a body of about eight hundred, the largest run ever made in the state. The Washington contingent was met at the depot by a detacament of Balti- More cyclists, and a parade was formed, the monumental city wheelmen being in front. ‘The clubs and their marshals were as follows: Queer Wheelmen, W. K. Larri- more, marshal, fifty men; Eastsra Athletic Club, RoR! Revill, ‘marshal, ~ tifteen men; Columbia Athletic Club, J. Hart Brit- tain, marshal, forty-five mea; Washington Road Club, W. T. Robertson, marshal, twenty-five men; Riverside (lib, twenty men, Capt. Samuel Winsott; Six Wheelmen of Washington, Capt. Albert Leeke; Tro- quois and Ariington clubs, consolidated, un- der command of Lieut. Becker, thirty-five men; Columbia Academy, eight-en men, H. Simms, captain; Keystone Club of George- town, twenty men, under con nd of Lieut. Farris; Altair Club of Wasaingion, ten men, W. H. Beck, captain. From Camden Station the Baltimoreans escorted the visitors awheel by way of Eutaw street and Eutaw place to Druid Hill Park. After a ride in the park the riders went by way of Chase street to is to Baltimore street, through Hi ad KL tON he to the 1 ue road to Norch Point road, and to Long Branch hsore. The ride Was not particularly pleasant on account of the heavy condition of the roads, the dust being three or four inches thick at al- most every turn. When Long Branch shore was re the unpl nt feature of the day occurred. It seems as though the cat had notifiel to have dinner for hune but that on the nen it four was found that di one hundred had been provided. In addition to. this, only three waiters were on hand, and al: though a dozen of the Baltimore wheel- men started to help, the food was not forthcoming quickly enough, and the visit- ors started in to help thems: While seme accounts seem to indica‘e that food erough was on hand for all, the general opinion 1s that the arrangements mude did not contemplate such a large num‘er, and that many were unproviled for.

Later the visiting crowd reached Uso. We had arranged to get the Baltim boys to wait until ifter the visit- ors had dined, and were assured they would do so. It was unfortunate that the crowd which came from Washington was under- estimated, but Larrimore could not divine that it was going to be so large. Mr. arrimore did everything in his power to bring the hungry wheelmen to ri and to him and others among the visitors who tried to straighten out matters we feel grateful, It is expected that as a sequel to the trip yesterday, a number of the Baltimore Wheelmen will visit this city as guests of the L. A. W. at some future date. If the trip carried out as looked forward to, guests will be taken out the Condult @ and given dinner at Cabin John en- trely at the expense of the District wheel- men, after which the trip will be resumed to Great Fails. The matter will ‘come up at the next meeting of the leag te. cH S. Showalter and Barry drew the nint game of their match at the Boston Che Club Saturday.

Mallinckrodt and Cole did the batting for Mount Wash- ington,Bray, Steele and Glenn batting for Catonsville. The championship race of the New York Cricket Association promises this year to be unusually attractive. All the teams are showing better form, and the games so far played indicate that the teams are pretty evenly matched. The Patersons and New Jersey’s second eleven are still a tie for the lead. EAGER TO MEET CORBETT. Tom Sharkey Confident He Can Stay Four Rounds SAN FRANCISCO, June 8.—Arrangements for the four rounds between James J. Cor- bett, champion heavyweight of the world, and Tom Sharkey of local fame, will be concluded today. A few changes witl be made in the original scheme suggested by the National Atpletic Club, under whose auspices the mill will be held. Sharkey will train at Oakland. Sharkey is confident. He says he will put up all he has on his ability to stay out the four rounds. “Ido not think there is a man living who can put me out in that space of time,” he said. fhere is a great deai of difference in a man fighting a man who wants to fight back and going after a man who knows that all he bas to do is to keep away for a short period of time. Of course I do not for a moment place myself on a par with Corbett, so far as science is concerned, but I am positive that he will never punch me out in four rounds.” PRACTICING AT POUGHKEEPSIE.

A bomb was thrown into the crowd dur- ing the Corpus Christi procession at Barce- lona, Spain, yester and its explosion resulted in the of six persons end the injury of fifty. The outrage caused a panic among the great crowds drawn to the streets by the religious festival and the Sunday merry- making usual to the c!

The explosion occurred just as the Corpus Christi procession was entering the beau. and ancient Church of Santa Maria ¢ Mar, which is the grandest, after the ca- thedral, in Barcelona. This is the heart of the old city, not far from the water front and the quay. The sound of the explosion and the dis- tresed cries of the injured and the friends of the Killed created an indescriballe panic among the great crowd in the procession and looking on.

Alleged Intention of Twe Men Who Out From New York. More than a thousand persons gath. in Battery Park, New York, Saturday a ternoon, crowding against the chains of the stone posts of the sea wall, to see two hardy young Norwegian seamen, George Herbo and Frank mu en, start on a rowboat voyage to Havre, France. Their boat is a buoyant eighteen-footer, broad- beamed, clinker-built with no sail. The oarsmen are American citizens. Harbo, who is thirty-one years old, a wife and three children in Brevig, and Samuel- sen, who 1s twenty-seven years old, for- merly lived in Farsund, Norway, where his parents are. His sister Lena and his brother Jack were down at the Battery Basin to see the adventuresome oarsmen. The oarsmen pulled gallantly out of the basin at 5 p.m., and the multitude cheer- ed. Harbor craft with steam whistles sa- luted with vaporous shrieks. The adventurers expected to pass the Hook at 8 o'clock Saturday night. They have provisions to last them sixty days, sixty gallons of water, two gallons of sig- nal oil, six gallons of kerosene and twelve Costen signals. see Naval Orders. Lieut. Commander J. B. V.
