Good Work by the Home Team at National Park. The most pronounced coquette is not as fickle as the regular base ball enthusiast. If any one had predicted a. week ago that such a crowd as turned out yesterday at National Park would materialize within a period of seven days he would have been laughed at. It makes no difference whether it's a Johnny Ward, a Joyce, a Bill Has- amaer or a Schmelz at the head of the club so long as games are won. Billy Joyce was the idol of three-fourths of the people pres- ent yesterday not more than three weeks ago, yet it is safe to say that had he taken the place of little Smith at third in the second game the change would have been received with hisses. In the early part of the first game Tom Brown made a mag- nificent three-base hit, that placed the Sen- ators in the game, but when tne sun blind- ed this reliable fielder later and made him run away from two easy flies his action was derisively hooted and Abbey was called for. Charley Farrell was assigned the duty of receiving Mercer's delivery in the first game, and, besides catching a good game, should be credited with a little cuteness that escaped the eye of many of those Fresent. During the preliminary practice Charley tried several times to throw down to second, but without avail, and after every trial would rub his shoulder, as if in pain. The word was passed among the Cincinnatis that Farrell was out of kelter, and several base-runners on the team re- solved to fatten up their base-stealing averages. “Dusty” Miller was the first vic- tim, on as pretty a throw to second as could be desired. Hoy came next, and then speedy little Burke rounded out the trio of gcld-bricked base-stealers. As Burke was declared out Farrell turned to the Cincin- ti bench and gave the players thereon a asing little laugh, and then they realized ly they had been duped. The base- stealing efforts ceased with Burke's at- tempt. A Steady Stream of People. It being ladies’ day, as early as 1 o'clock the crowd commenced gathering around the gates, and from that hour until 4:30 o'clock a steady stream of people poured into the park. The bleachers were packed, the S0-cent seats crowded and a large crowd gathered in the 75-cent portion, the audience being estimated at nearly 6,000. The big crowd was particularly noticcable as such gatherings have been very rare of late, but good playing and winning games will fetch the base ball enthusiast, like molasses draws flies. itors started off like winners in game. Win Mercer was troubled with his old-time fault of pitching poor ball at the start, and before he could re- sain his deftness three runs had been chalked up to the red legs’ credit. Burke singled prettily and reached second on a nice bunt by Hoy, who beat out the throw. Mercer tried to catch Burke at second, but threw wild, the ball going by DeMont. and then eluded Brown, Burke scoring and Hoy going to third. McPhee followed with a single past third and Hoy scored. Mac scored a doubtful steal of second and came home on Ewing’s healthy single. The Senators scored one in the first as a result of two singles by DeMont. and Sel- bach and Ewing's error. The secord and third innings were blanks for both teams, but in the fourth the score was tied on a force hit by O’Brien, a three-sacker by Brown and a double by Eddie Cartwright. When the latter hit went safe the entire audience arose and gave the big fellow a cheer that must have put him on good terms with himself for the rest of the day. For four innings thereafter blank fol- lowed blank, and then came the fatal ninth. The visitors were shut out, and it looked as if the Senators were to be treat- ed to the same medicine. Cartwright went out on a fly to Smith and Mercer struck out. Then came a base on balls to Lush. As De Mont struck at the first ball Billy was on his way to second, and as the ball went in the air he kept on running, as there were two out. The hit proved to be very much Jack Milligan, going almost into the ciouds and directly over second, McPhee, who should have taken the ball easily, losing the sphere in the sun. Little Hoy made a gallant effort, but failed, and all this time Lush was legging for home like a Henry of Navarre with what proved to be the winning run. Senators Had Chunks of Luck. The finish was a great disappointment to the Cincinnati boys. Luck played an im- portant part, coming the Senators’ way in chunks and plunks. Just imagine the ball lest twice in the sun by the Senators, yet the visitors were unable to get a man zcross the plate on the plays, and then comes the lost ball in the sun for the visi- ters and the winning ren comes in Another case was that of “Dusty” Miller, one of the fastest men in the league. He hit a hot ball to little Smith at third, the bali being so hot that it went through his hands and legs and he had to turn com- pletely around to recover the ball. But the recovery was made like a flash and over to first went the ball on a line and “Dusty” bit the dust. The play was an eye-opener for everybody on the grounds, including the players of both teams, and will hardly be repeated in the next thirty games. After the first inning Mercer pitched a great game, and the players back of him, with the exception of Brown, were in fine form and fieided phenomenally, Lush mak- ing a great catch in right and Cartwright stopping a screamer with one hand well off to the right of first base. Following is the score: FIRST GAME. WASHINGTON. CINCINNATI. R.H.0.A.E, B-H.O.4B Lush, rf... 2 1 1 0 0/Burke, if.

When the second game was called, about ten minutes after the wind-up of the first, the attendance had largely increased, and the fans displayed great enthusiasm, prob- ably due to the rousing victory. Jimmy McJames advanced to the center of the diamond and was loudly checred. Rhines was the twirler sent to the front by Mr. Ewing. = During the first eight innings but twenty- five men went to bat for Cincinnati and but one hit was made off McJames in all that time. The story of the loss by the Reds is thus clearly and concisely told. Washington broke the ice in the fourth. Lush, the first batter, hit to shortstop and beat the ball out. DeMontreville attempted to sac- rifice him to second. Gene bunted the ball toward first and Ewing ran up and picked it off the ground. DeMontreville was sprinting, however, and he led the way to the bag with Ewing, McPhee and Rhines in close pursuit. Selbach hit to Rhines, and somehow or other a moment later three Senators were on bases with nobody out. McGuire flied to McPhee and Lush scored. A passed ball advanced DeMon- treville and Selbach to third and second, respectively. Smith drove a hard one to |’ Irwin at third, the latter returned the ball to Vaughn and DeMontreville was caught at the plate. A moment later Smith pro- ceeded toward second, and as he was be- ing run down Selbach succeeded in cross- ing the plate with the second run. Washington scored again in the eighth. After Cartwright and McJames had been retired Lush waited for balls and stole second. He scored when DeMontreville singled to right. Cincinnati could not hit a little bit. In the third Vaughn sent a liner which went past McJames, and the Reds’ catcher was credited with a single. They did nothing worthy of mention until the ninth. At the opening of the final inning it look- ed very much as though it was a white- wash for Cincinnati, with only one hit to their credit. But the unexpected always happens. Vaughn, the first batter up, sin- gled to right. Rhines hit one toward Smith which bounded over the third baseman’s head, and two men were on bases. Burke very obligingly filed to left, but Hoy sent the ball into McJames’ hands and Vaughn was thrown out at third. Miller hit to right and Rhines crossed the plate with the first and only run for t'other side. Mc- Phee drove the ball high in the air, but in descending it encountered Brown's out- stretched mitt, and the thousands of spec- tators gave a simultaneous and continued yell of triumph, for Bugk Ewing and his mighty braves had been downed twice in a single day. And, come to think of it, it was three out of three for the series. Vale, Cincinnati, till 1897. May the others we have yet to meet prove as easy. The score: ‘D GAME WASHINGTON. CINCINNATI. OLE.

Harry Weldon of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who Is cn the trip with the “Reds,” writes his paper, under a Washington date, as follows: ot President Eat] Wagner doesn’t care par- ticularly who wing the championship just so that the Orioles do not get it. “Any- thing to beat Baltinore,” is the cry of the Washington minager. “If my team has to lose any gameg 1, would like to see the Reds gct them,” said the Washington mo- gul this afterftoon. “The airs the Balti- more officials atid players put on have sour- ed me. Why, ‘they think they are a little above the ordittary run of people. Vonder- horst ‘and Hanldn do nothing: ‘but pa- tronize and pity us common teams when we go over there. ‘They are all puffed up over their sutteds. They seem to think that nobcdy else has a right to aspire to the pennant. When. Hughie Jennings walks down the streef.they suspend business, and Kelly walks like he owns the town. I hope the Reds heat dui the Oriote: Although the Washifigton president is a rooter for the Reds, it was noticeable that he had two of his best pitchers carded to go against Buck's braves in the games this afternoon. There is no catcher in the league who has a record that will begin to compare with that made by Jimmie McGuire of the Washingtons. He is one of the oldest, it not the very oldest, in point of service in the league. He is better today than he ever was. Last season he caught every cham- pionship game played by the Washington team. Every time the Senators went on the field “for keeps” McGuire was behind the bat. He caught 133 games last year. The Washington tcam was scheduled for 182 games, but one of them was a tie game and bad to be played over. This year the Washingtons have played 100 games and McGuire has caught In ninety of them. Not only has he “backstopped” all kinds of pitching in almost perfect style, but there is no better thrower to second in the bus!- ness than he is. As a batter he is as good as the very best on the team. There isn’t a club in the league who wouldn't part with a good big roll of bills to have Mc- Guire as one of Its catchers. Base Ball Notes, And now for the last whack at the Pitts- burg Pirates. McJames fielded his position beautifull; in marked contrast to his work a few da: ago. Maul continues to be the idol of the fans beck of first base. Capt. Brown sent him to third yesterday and there was a howl of disappointment. It should not be overlocked that McPhee made a great catch of-the ball from Mc- Guire’s bat during that critical fourth in- ning in the second game. In the third inning of the second seance, after Vaughn had made his hit, he was sent to second on Rhines’ out at first. A mcmeni later McGuire let the ball get past him and the Cincinnati catcher endeavored to score from second base. He was thrown out very neatly at the plate. For a pair of disabled pitchers, Mercer and McJames are entitled to a very large slice’ of the cherry ple. The only error of the second game is chalked up against Mr. B. Ewing. He muffed a foul fly back of first. Washington played with a snap and vim that is seldom equaled. “And all that for a quarter,” said a de- lighted young man as he passed out from the bleachers. COLORED WHEEL} EN. Race Meet of the Hannibal Athletic Club. ‘The race meet of the Hannibal Athletic Club opened yesterday afternoon at the new Athletic Park, at 24 and L streets southwest. Onl} four of the five events on the program were run, the ladies’ race be- ing postponed zuntil today, on account of the fact that there'were only three entries. The colored population of the city was out in full force, though the admissions to the grounds did not, come anywhere near equal- ing the large number of people who wit- nessed the events from the outside by peep- ing through the ¢racks of the fence or hanging on top,of the same. In the first race, the mile novice, there were seven starters, and, on account of the width and condition of the track, this was run in two heats. -Jesse Williams won the first heat, while D. Shepherd crossed the tape at the head in the second heat. The second race, the mile open, was run in two heats, John H. Spéncer and John H. Jack- son securing first and second places, re- spectively. in the first heat, The second heat was won by Spencer Coleman, with ‘W. M. Dewey. second. ‘The most exciting race of the day was the five-mile race for the championship of the United States, as it was announced. There wefe nine starters sent off in a bunch. Dewey kept the lead most of the time. The closing race was for boys under six- teen years, though the age limit was a misnomer. There were half a dozen per- sons anxious to start, but only three were permitted to ride. The track is claimed to be a five-lap course, though this measure fs very short, it being more like a nine-lap-to-the-mile course. There was no banking at the turns, but simply a mound of earth to keep the riders from falling over, though frequent- ly this was no protection. Spills were fre- quent, though no one was hurt. The sum- mary: First race, one mile novice—Jesse Wil- Mams won; D. Shepherd, second; J. W. Bil- lingsley, third. No time taken. Second race, one mile open—John H.Spen- cer won; Spencer Coleman, second; John H. Jackson, third. No time taken. Third race, five miles, for United States championship—W. M: Dewey won; Lewis Phillips, second; C. E. Williams, third. Tims, 10:18. Fourth race, one mile, for boys under sixteen—John Garner won; Charles Shep- pard, second. No time. CANADA WON THE FIRST. Vencedor Was Beaten More Than ‘Twenty-Three Minutes. The Canadian cup defender, Canada, de- feated the Chicago challenger yesterday off Toledo, in the race for the international trophy. The winner made the course in five hours and forty-nine minutes, or eleven minutes within the time Nmit. The race was, for the most part, a drifting match. There were occasional light breezes, in which the Canada did the best work. Twice during the race there was a twelve-mile- an-hour breeze blowing. In this wind the Vencedor showed some gain over her rival, but there was not enough of that sort of weather for the challenger. At 4:19 Canada rounded the stake boat amid the screaming of whistles. She had saved the race, with eleven minutes to spare. When she neared the line there were but two of her sailors in sight, but soon as she turned the sailors sprang up out of the hull and ran to their stations with the pre- cision of clock work. Vencedor rounded the final boat at 4:37, more than eighteen minutes behind. With the time allowance, Vencedor was beaten more than twenty-three minutes. Boat. Start. Act.Time. Finish. Cor.

Talbert of Georgetown was won by Harding by the score of 100 to 75. The game was close for the first 60 points. Then Harding began to play a Sreat game, and won easy. Tonight Mr. Harding will meet Billy Williams of Tren- ton, N. J. The game will be played at 605 7th street northwest. - Numbers Not Necessary. The protest of the Baltimore riders in the last inter-city race has been settled by Chairman Gideon. It will be remembered that the Baltimore riders protested be- cause there were no numbers placed on the contestants to distinguish them. Chairman Gideon, in a letter received by Referee Simpson this morning, upholds the local official in the action taken by him, and states that numbers in the event were not necessary. WHEELING ACROSS CONTINENT. Beginning the Relay Ride From San Francinco, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., August 26.—At noon yesterday, in the presence of several thousand spectators, a start was made in the Examiner-Jourfal transcontinental re- lay bicycle run, The leather packet con- taining a message to Maj. Gen. Miles, U.S. A., New York, was given to Clotilde and George Devarey, aged ten and nine re- spectively. These children, on a tandem bicycle, rode down Market street to the ferry, where the packet was placed on a tug and taken across the ba: At Oakland the second relay was waiting and the packet will be passed along three relays "by 600 riders, reaching New York in from twelve to fourteen days. Ontonagon, 9 Destroyed by Fire Yesterday Afternoon. Ontonagon, Mich., was destroyed by fire yesterday afiernoon. Of the city of about 2,000 population hardly a house is left standing. Among the property destroyed is the extensive plant of the Diamond Match Company and 60,000,000 feet of lum- ber in their yards. Conservative estimates place the loss at $1,500,000. fhe fire had been burning in the woods scuthwest of the city for two weeks. It was nearly out when a southwest gale Monday and yesterday swept it upon the town. At noon it was secn that the city was doomed. A message was sent to Supi. Minturn of the St. Paul railroad at Green Bay, asking for a train to take the people away. The operator who sent the mes- sage. was driven away from his instru- ment by the burning of the building. A train was ordered there from Pori, twenty- six miles south. The train reached Onton- agon and took a load of people to Rock- land, ten miles away. It left again for Ontonagon for another load. At 5 o'clock the flames had swept through the main part of the city, destroying all the busi- ness houses, many residences, the match company’s mills, the water works, electric light plant, court house, jail, tc. The flames then worked up the river to the rest of the city. The operator who left the instrument, which had been temporarily put up, said nothiag could aave the city from utter annihilation, and that unless the wind went down by dark every house would be destroyed. Forest fires have been raging around Ironwood and Hurley and a southwest gale has been blowing. Property on the out- skirts cf the city of Ironwood was dam- aged to a considerable extent. The fire departments and volunteers of both towns did all in their power to check the con- flagration, with poor results. A dense smoke completely enveloped the city, mak- ing traffic slow and unsafe. ——___+e-______ PYTHIAN PARADE AT CLEVELAND. Greatest Display of the Kind Ever Seen There. The Pythian parade at Cleveland yester- day afternoon was pronounced by all those who participated the finest ever given at a biennial encampment. Certainly it was the greatest parade of the kind ever seen at Cleveland. The procession moved at 4 o'clock. The line of march was about five miles long, and the streets throughout all that distance were packed with people. There were 4,500 men in line, with Lafay- ette Division, No. 1, of Lafayette, Ind., the first division of the Uniform Rank or- ganized in the United States, in the lead. There were twenty-one bands of 452 pieces and a number of floats symbollic of the principles of the order lent beauty to the pageant. The members of the Uniform Rank, of course, appeared in their uni- forms, but there were hundreds of march- ing knights in white duck suits and carry- ing white sun umbrellas. The procession was an hour and fifteen minutes passing @ given point, and it was nearly dark be- fore the last division had returned to the camp. The weather was perfect; the sun shone brightly, but a cool breeze tempered the atmosphere, so that marching was a pleasure. At the meeting of the Pythian Sisterhood the reports of the. officers wer ibmitted. They showed that the order was in good condition financially and numerically. The membership is placed at_ between and 30,000, and is reported to be growing steadily. The Rathbone Sisters will have their first meeting today. Last night they gave a 1eception. They claim that their membership is increasing, and that it has now reached a total of 38,000. It is practically settled that Philip T. Colgrove of Hastings, Mich., the present vice chancellor of the order, will be elected supreme chancellor. There has been some talk of another term for Chancellor Richie, but he says he does not want to be con- sidered in that connection. Philadelphia and Indianapolis are appli- eants for the honor of entertaining the next biennial convention of the knights, and the contest is practically between these two cities. The supreme tribunal, which sits every two years to hear cases presented for trial, met yesterday, and made up its docket. The attendance at the encampment is about 4,000 smaller than was anticipated, and this is said to be due to the arbitrary action of the railroads in refusing to make desirable rates. The exercises last evening consisted in receptions and band concerts in various parts of the city, the Knights enjoying themselves as fancy dictated. 00 COMMITTED TO JAIL. A Witness to the Sloan Killing Put in a Safe Place. By order of Judge Cole, Guy Bethel, who is said to be the only witness of the al- leged murder of Larnie Sloan by John Palmer a few days ago, has been commit- ted to jail in default of $200 bonds, in order to insure his presence when needed. A RALLY AT LEESBURG Democrats Addressed in Behalf of the Free Coinage Plan. REMARKS BY CANDIDATE RIXEY Ses Deputy Commissioner Bell Declares for the Platform. -—— MASSES AND CLASSES CRY + Deputy Commissioner of Pensions H. C. Bell of Washington and Judge John F. Rixey of Culpeper county, Va., the congres- sional democratic nominee in the eighth district of Virginia, last evening addressed a large free silver meeting at Leesburg, Va. Messrs. Bell and Rixey, the former accom- panied by his wife, reached Leesburg from Washington about 6 p.m. by the express train of the Southern railway and were met at the station by the Bryan and Sewall Drum Corps. The meetirg began at 8 o'clock and was held in the court house, under the auspices of the Leesburg Eryan and Sewall Club. Mr. Thomas E. Worsley, president of the club, presided, ard introduced Mr. Rixey as the next Representative in Congress from the eighth Virginia district. “We are,” said Judge Rixey, “in the midst of a great confilct, the greatest since the war. The question is how are the people of Virginia going to vote in the coming election. I do not see how any son of Virginia can do otherwise than to vote for Bryan, and thas declare his preference for silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for any other nation.” Mr. Rixey closed his speech by an eloquent appeal to his hearers not to vote the republican ticket. Mr. Bell's Speech. “This campaign,” sald Mr. Sell, “so far as silver men is concerned, has been one of education; as far as the gold men are concerned, one of mendaciousness and vin- dictiveness. There are many great q tions in this campaign, but the one which is of paramount interest to the people is, ‘Shall we continue t ngle gold standard, or shall we again en‘hrone silver the place it occupied before it was stealthily thrown down in Februa-y, " We have well-grounded fears that dire results will follow if the money of the United States is to be confined to gold alone.” ntinuing, Mr. Beil claimea that greater blessings would fall upon the people of this country by the immediate restoration of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without wait- ing tor the action of other nations, than by continuing the single gold standard. *” gold standard capitalists,” said he, the men who, during the war, would not loan their money to the government, except at from 24 to 26 per cent interest. From 1782 to 1873 ev silver dollar that was coined contained 371% grains of pure Not once was the unit of value change in all that time, while the quantity of gold in a gold dollar was changed twice—once in 1834 and again in 1837.” The “Crime of °73." He asserted that Senator Sherman at- tempted to demonetize silver in 1868, and introduced a bill in the Senate for that purpose, but the plan was discovered. He sketched the charges that have been made concerning the alleged “crime of and explained the meaning of to 1. “At the present time,” he went on, “there is no price on air, but if the gold bugs can get a-corner on it they will either make you pay for the use of it or they will smother you to death, and I am not sure but what they will do so anyhow.” Mr. Bell referred to the recent speech of Bourke Cockran in New York and charac- terized it as an insult to the people of the south. If gold, he continued, were demone- tized it would not be worth 20 cents sn ounce, whereas, on account of the demand for it, it is now valued at $20.67 ah ounce. He denounced as ridiculous the assertions by some public speakers that the remone- tization of silver would result in disaster to the country. The demand for money is insatiable. No one ever had enough of it. “There is no such thing as internati money. Gold is not international mon When gold money leaves the country in which it is coined it is bullion. After Bryan is elected évery man who can do £0 Ail buy silver bullion and gold will de- preciate. More About the Crime. “For 6,000 years silver passed side by side with gold as money, and it was a crime for Congress to pass a law which compelled the closing of almost every mine west of the Mississippi river. And is it wrong for these mine owners to ask Con- gress to place silver where it was previous to the passage of the act of 1873, which brought them ruin?” Mr. Bell iikewise declared that the elec- tion of Bryan would add $2,400,000,000 to the value of the agricultural interests of the country, and said that if the farmers of the United States could get the same prices this year as they did in 1873 they would be more than $2,000,000,000 better off than they are. “Upon the 35,000,000 farmers of this coun- try depends the prosperity of the nation. The banks of the country are full of money because nobody wants it. Remonetize sil- ver and every kind of business will revive and people will prosper as they never did before.” The last statement was received with loud applause. “It is to the interest of every man,” re- sumed Mr. Bell, “who gets a salary to have the gold standard; it is to the interest of every moneyed man to favor the gold standard, but every man who has anything to sell and votes for McKinley simply votes to cut his own throat.” Masses and Classes. In conclusion, Mr. Bell asserted that this is a campaign of the classes against the masses, and after paying a high compli- ment to Mr. McKinley's personal character, said that William J. Bryan was the peer of the republican nominee in every par- ticular, and that to know Mr. Bryan was to love and honor him. He asserted that Bryan stands for the toiling masses as against the insolent classes, and his elec- tion will cause to dawn upon the toflers an era of prosperity such as they have never experienced, and that his triumph will be a declaration of independence against the sordid, grasping gold men of the British empire. We believe,” said he, “we can succeed in this campaign, and that the people of this country are fully alive to their duty and the refuge of lies will be swept away.” At the conclusion of Mr. Bell's address he was given a round of applause. Remarks were also made by Mr. Eccles- ton of Maryland. —— NUAL FAIR AT LEESBURG. al A Horse Races, Base Ball and a General Good Time. Correspondence of The Evening Star. LEESBURG, Va., August 26, 1896. The thirteenth annual display of the Loudoun County Live Stock Exhibition As- sociation opened yesterday at the fair grounds near this city.

Senator Stewart has written a letter charging that Senator Sherman grossly misrepresented him (Stew= art), and that if he (Sherman) had printed the context of the speech {t would have re- futed the inference that was drawn from the extracts printed. In the quotations from his (Stewart's) speech of February 1, 1874, he says the word “gold” was used for “specie.” The context of that speech, he declares, showed that he was not advocat- ing the gold standard as against the double standard. Senator Stewart protests against what he terms Mr. Sherman's ex ‘te dis- cussions. “Instead of meeting me in the Senate,” he says, “you go a thousand miles away and reiterate your falsehoods. 2-— AT THE CIVIL SERVICE CAPITOL, Mechanics Employed There Hereafter Must Be Eligible. The civil service commission has class!- fied the employes who are under the @ chitect of the Capitol and hereaf:er they will have the protection of the civil serv- ice law. There are many applicants for work there, and from time to time, as large works have been in progress, such as con- structing the splendid marble terrace, hun- dreds of skilled mechanics have been em- ployed under the architect. Hereafter no workman can be engaged by the rehitect unless he has a certificate from the civil zervice commission, showing his eligibility. The most important work under headway st now at the Capitol is the completion of the new electric light plant. A’ 8,000- light dynamo is to be put in, and the foun- dativa for it is now being laid. A part of this foundation is a ten-ton iron plate, which fs to rest on a bed of concrete ten feet deep, twenty-four feet long and ten wide. The main object in laying such @ heavy foundation is to avoid vibration. The wires for lamps will be laid throw all parts of the grounds, and new wirt will be put in all through the Capit building.
