Good Program for Company C's, W. L. 1, First Annual Event. The first annual field day of Company C of the Washington Light Infantry will be held tomorrow afternoon at the Interna- tional Athletic Park, on the Conduit road, near the Disirict line. The good program promises to draw out a large crowd, and the military men will show up in large numbers. The officials and the full list of entries haye already been published in The Star, and the handicap for the two-mile bicycle race will hardly be published until Just befcre the events. The private boxes in front of the grand stand were raffled off at a recent meeting of the Washington Light Infantry Corps, bringing good prices, and they will be occupied by the military boys and thetr best girls. A most interesting thing on the program to the local cyclists is the trial race for a place on the Washington team In the com- ses ofr: with the Baltimore and Schade have both entered for the two-mile handicap race on the reg- ular program, ang it is likely that they will both enter in the trial race, which will un- doubtedly make it doubly Interesting. The first of the intercity races will come off next Saturday, and the remaining members of the team will be picked at trial races, which will be run some time next week. The committee of Company C in charge of the affair have worked hard to make it cess, and to no man is more credit due than to Mr. W. S. McKean, jr., the chair- man, who has been indefatigable in his ef- forts to make the program as interesting as possible. —— Reduced Rates to Ft. Monroe.

Georgetown furnished three female mem- bers of Judge Kimball's procession this morning, but, like many other cases brought from west of the creek, there was no case in it. Cora Lane, Mary Smallwood and Mary Smith were the names given by the trio, and Policemen Brown and Harrison were the prosecuting witnesses. Their appearance in the toils was the result of a “parlor social” and “break- down” in Caton’s alley, which proved more enjoyable to the colored residents than did the Christian gathering in the big tent. “Pete,” the fiddler, and “Jimmy,” the alley banjoist,were on hand, and to the dis- cordant tones of their stringed instruments the colored boys and girls made an effort to do a number of fancy dances. There was a hole in the floor, the result of years of wear, and when one of the colored fairies caught her foot in the hole there was a genuine “breakdown,” and two of the dancers tumbled on the floor and rolled behind the stove. Fortunately, there was no fire in the stove, and consequently the colored people were soon on their feet uninjured. If mu- sic has charms to soothe the savage breast it has not charms to soothe the two police- men mentioned, and they arrested the members of the trio. “There was a fight in the house,” was the complaint of the policemen, ‘‘and when we got there two of the women were clinch- “Unfortunately,” sald the court, ‘because of the pecullar condition of the District law, people have a right to fight in their houses as much as they please, provided they are not loud and profane.” “But they were partly in the house and partly in the alley,” said cne of the officers. “Jndge, your honor,” said Cora, “let ne tell you just how it all happened.’ We had a ‘parlor soclai’ and were waltzing, when the board behind the stove gave way, and down we went.” “And who were clinched when the po- lcemen appeared?” “Me and that girl,” was her response, pointing to Mary Smallw “But,” sald the judge, “the officer says you and Mary Smith were clinched.” “I wasn’t clinched with nobody,” said Mary Smith. “'Twas the other women.” “There is such a difference between the officers and the women,” said the «ourt, “that I'm all at sea, and the case is dis- missed.” “And that's right,” one of the women remarked as she started homeward. Threw a Stone. Mrs. Cecella Taylor, a colored woman who lives on Massachusetts avenue south- east, has an apple tree in her yard, and when she had trouble with George Jones the latter threw a stone through the tree. “But he wasn't throwing at the apples,” said the woman. “He was throwing at me, but the stone didn’t hit me.” Cecelia complained ‘that George came to her house and caused trouble, and she could not get rid of him. In addition to throwing the stone, she said, he threatened to burn the house. “Judge, your honor,” said the prisoner, “I ain't throwed no more stone at her than you did. She quarreled with me and I left there.” “and,” added the court, “I'm afraid you threw the stone before you left. You are fined $5." The flags and bunting on the buildings made Charles Harris feel so patriotic that he went out when his day’s work was finished and proceeded to celebrate by in- dulging in liquic refreshments. The lHquid was stronger than Charlie could stand, and the ~esult was that when he started home he fell by the wayside and was picked up by a mar. who wore blue elothes and brass buttons. “I'm guilty of the charge,” he answered, “but, Mr. Kimball, I haven't been in trou- ble for a long time, and I hope you will give me time to pay the fine.” “You havén’t been here for six months,” the court remarked. “Four years,” sald Harris. “I sell papers, and haven't been arrested for four years.” “J know you sell papers,” added the court, “and I know you haven't been here for six months.” “No, sir,” said the defendan:. “Mr. Kim- ball, I beg your pardon, but you are mis- taken.” “The fine is $5," Harris was told, “and it will have to be paid or you will have to go down.” John Edwards and George McDonald, young colored men, strangers in the elty, were In the toils as vagrants and suspicious persons because they had been found near the market wagons on B street last night. “We ain't no vagrants,” said one of the defendants. We had been in the big tent, and were on our way to South Washington when we were arrested.” “Five days.” i Charles Wilson, colored, who has been here from the country just one week, thought he could Weport himself on the streets the same as he had on a farm, but he found that the law was somewhat differ- ent, and a policeman arrested him. “You must be more careful in the fu- the court told him, “and must re- member that your conduct in the city must be different from that in the country.” “But I thought I was doing right,” said the man, whose violation was the result of ignorance. “And it's because of your ignorance that I am going to make the fine only $5.” The stranger stepped back. Other Cases. Mamie Cogy, a colored member of the Junior Endeavor Society, wearing the em- blem of the organization, was a defendant in court, on a charge of throwing stones, and she complained that Chas. Ragan had used bad language. She repeated the bad language that the young man had used, but denied his charge that she had thrown a stone at him. “TI did call her a black —,” admitted the young man. “I’m a collector, and when I went to the house I didn’t meet with a warm reception. When I started away she threw a stone, the size of an egg, and struck me. Then it was that I called her the name I did.” Mamie called several witnesses to prove her innocence, and she was acquitted. The young man was fined. Agent Reiplinger of the Humane Society appeared in court and made a charge of cruelty against Mr. Charles Edmonston, a well-known citizen. A spavined horse was what was alleged in the case, but Mr. Ed- monston denied this charge. 5 Mr. Edmonston has owned the pet horse for twenty years, and all the animal does now is to go to market once a day. Judge Kimball said he had known the de- fendant for many years, and knew he would not intentionally fll-treat an animal. Mr. Edmonston sald he would send the poor old horse out in the country. The case of Clifford Price, arrested for attempting to defraud Mr. W. S. Teel of a bill of $13.75 worth of underwear, was finished, and the court sentenced the de- fendant to give real estate bond in the sum of $100 or go down for thirty days. ——_—_ CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

New Officers Chosen—Some of Them ‘Washingtonians—Reception and Banquet Enjoyed. The closing session of the N. A. P. A. was opened yesterday by ex-President Hancock, who, after a short, pleasant speech, vacated the chair to President Mor- ton of Boston. President Morton made a few happy remarks, accepting the honor conferred upon him, and asked for the ‘oyal assistance of all the members. He Promised to observe constitutional laws, to Promote literary work, to demand activity and to act in all measures absolutely im- Partially. He closed by begging the as- sociation to hold together at all times and remember that “in union there is strength.” The committee to secure an appropriate emblem for the association presented its report, and it was decided to accept a pin with a scroll crossed by a quill pen, with the letters N. A. P. A. on the scroll. Votes of thanks to the chairman of the Feception committee, Mr. E. H. Smith, and the members of the Capital City Club, and to ex-President Briggs for allowing the association to have the pleasure of looking over some valuable old amateur papers, many relating to the work of '79, when Mr. Briggs was president, were passed. The secretary read several letters of con- gratulation, among them being notes from Mrs. Edith Minister, David Hallett, Cali- fornia, and other amateurs in the west. Mr. Smith spoke briefly of the National Amateur, the first number being a conven- tion number, and the succeeding numbers to be up to the regular standard of the National Amateur as it has always been known to the association. The convention adjourned to enjoy a trip to Mt. Vernon this afternoon. Many of the amateurs left the city in the afternoon, though some will remain for a few days to enjoy Washington at a better advantage. The visiting amateurs showed much interest and zeal during the convention, and have expressed great pleasure at the reception and treatment given them by the local club. They recognized particu- larly the work of the different committees who had charge of the arrangements ard the systematic attention to all the details. Wednesday's Sessions.

The constitution, as amended, was finally adopted. The proxy committee's report was read ‘and accepted.
