Kellogg of No. 31 Lynn st., Ithaca, N. ¥., thinks there ts no medicine like Ripans Tabules. She be- lieves that they saved the life of her son Claude. He was taken sick when twelve years old, and bis parents tried a number of doctors, who all said that he had liver trouble and catarrh of the stomach, and, after treating him @ year, gave him up to die. About this time his uncle, who had had experience with Ripans Tabules, and found that they had done him so much good for catarrh of the stomach, was disposed to have his nephew try them. After they had been taken two months, according to directions, the boy was able to go to school. Under date of November 19, the boy writes: “I have now taken them four months, and I am as well as ever.” One Gives Relief.

Geargetown University commenced an- other scholastic year this morning, with appropriate ceremonies and a full attend- ance of old and new pupils. The students have been returning to the institution since Sunday, and by this morning nearly all of the old scholars were at their piaces, and the buildings and grounds are once more alive with the merry shouts of the boys. The opening services commenced at 9 o'clock, with the celebration of the mass of the Holy Ghost in the Dahigren Me- morial Chapel. Rev. J. Havens Richards, the rector, was the celebrant, with a num- ber of assistants. All of the faculty and students were present. At the conclusion of the mass an education sermon was de- livered by Rev. John Conway, S.J., of St. Aloysius Church, which was very interest- ing. Rev. Father McCarthy of Trinity Church was to have delivered the sermon, but he is out of the city at present. After the services in the chapel the students assembled in the Gaston Nemorial Hall, where every one was interested in the read- ing of the marks, which gave the students the information as to whether or not they ere promoted to different classes. Rev. J. Havens Richards was the master of ceremonies, rnd he officially declared the university open for the scholastic year of 1896-7. The various classes of the ’var- sity will commence active work tomorrow. The students will meet in their respctive classes and become acquainted, and by Friday the school will be in regular work- ing order, beginning the regular routine. School Improvements. The schools of Georgetown will be re- opened to the students on Monday next, and during vacation time some of the buildings have undergone such repairs as to seem strange to the scholars when they resume their studies. Many necessary re- pairs have been made, and a number of minor improvements added, tending to make a complete change. The Western High School will still continue to occupy the Curtis building, on O street, and prob- ably remain there for a year, or until the new High School building has been com- pleted. As the plans for the ngw struc- ture have not as yet been drawn, it will be some time before the new structure will be erected. A new stack has been placed in the Curtis building, and the entire build- ing thoroughly renovated, and at the pres- ent time is ready for the return of the scholars. Real Fight. This morning there was a genuine fight at the entrance to the Aqueduct bridge, the affair taking place about 1 o'clock. The principals of the fight were John Donohue and Patrick Kelley. How the fight started no one knows, but the men had a rough and tumble time, and Kelley was slightly cut. He appeared at the station house and complained, against Donohue, and a half hour later’Donohue was arrested by Po- liceman Trussel, and locked up on a charge of assault and battery. Kelle: walk home. Spas ableito Notes. Day Station Keeper Samuel Goodman is off duty on a leave of ten days. Policeman Sam Burrows is acting station keeper dur- ing his absence.

REILLY I$ SIGNED| See epee Will Be Used asa Snbetitute Infielder by Wastiigton. go: THE COMING GAMES: WIFE NEW YORK Ladies Will Be Admitted Free to Them All. “ om BROOKLYN AGAIN LOST Charley Reilly has been signed. Every day that the New Yorks play here will be ladies’ day: _ This was the news at Washington base ball headquarters today. Harvey Smith, the clever infielder who has been covering third base for the Senators for some weeks, will return to the University of Pennsyl- vania this fall to complete his studies. His scholastic-year will not end until the mid- dle of next May or the 20th. The local man- agement decided that !t would be wisest to secure some one to cover third In the interval. Mr. Wagner decided to get Reil- ly. If he proves himself valuable he will be added to the team. Reilly is one of the best infielders in the base ball profession. In ’89 he played at Columbus, Ohio, then for three years at Pittsburg and later three years in Philadelphia. Early this season he was made manager of the Syracuse team, which he afterward left for Spring- field. He has been playing great ball in the Eastern League. In fact, he has al- ways been a great fielder. Had his batting been on a@ level with his fielding he would ever have been allowed to leave Philadel- rhia. It will be good news to the ladies to know they will be given the opportunity to see every game with Scrappy’s team. Pres- ident Freedman of the New York club has Kindly consented to Mr. Wagner's proposti- tien to extend courtesies to the fair fans, who, if they don’t bring much coin to the coffers of the club, bring encouraging smiles and most loyal support. Every la- dies’ day game is bitterly fought. No series of games this season has been await- ed with greater interest than the coming one with the New Yorks. That Scrappy will lend every effort to show that he has n.ade the Giants far superior to what they were goes without saying. That Tom Brown’s boys will try to prove to Scrappy that he was not the sole cause of their vinning before he left is also undoubted. hen, too, Scrappy has many friends here who will be glad to welcome him, while, of course, the loyal rooters will squeeze with all their energy for the home team. The games promise to be of unusual interest. Mr. Wagner was very much pleased this morning with the impression created yes- terday by Wrigley at shortstop. When it was intimated to him that the public was considerably surprised, he said: “We were not surprised. We have been watching him for some time and knew what he could do.” He further sald that although Wrigley had not shown up very strong at the bat he ascribed that to nervousness, for Wrig- ley had been a heavy fitter at Roanoke. He is liked by the other players, who plain- ly showed yesterday their pleasure at the applause given him. Mr. Wagner realizes that he has added another io his “finds” this year. of the Clubs. chit.

Second Game in the Fight for Ninth Place Was Won. There was considerable wallowing in the mud at National Park yesterday afternoon. The grounds were very wet because of the rain earlier in the day, and it was difficult work moving around the bases, and even on the grass. However, at the conclusion of the first half of the ninth inning the Brook- lyn club was deep in the mire, while the Washingtcns were high and dry, and the difference in the standing percentage of the two teams in the league race had been materially reduced. The seccnd victory of the series was se- cured by the locals through superior stick work, five of the eight hits made off Pitcher Daub occurring at the proper stage of the game. The Bridegrooms could do practi- cally nothing with the curves of Jimmy McJames. Their half dozen hits were not within speaking distance of one another, except in the fifth inning, when Shindle led off with a single to left and Daub followed it with another after two men had been re- tired. Shirdle took second on McCarthy's out at first, which might have been a dou- ble play had O'Brien displayed a little ac- tivity. Shindle scored on Daub's single,and it was the only run for the visitors during the game. Umpire Hurst has been suffering from an aggravated attack of malaria for some time and pluckily stuck to his work, but he had to give it up yesterday in the fourth inning, when he was relieved by John Heydler, who served as master of the fleld during the remainder of the exhibition in a thoroughly capable and satisfactory man- ner. 2 ‘A protest by De Montreville in the open- ing inning anncyed Hurst and Gene was re- “moved from the game. His playing, speak- ing from a fielding standpoint, was not missed, for Wrigley, the youngster secured from the Roanoke club, covered short in a manner which is best described as the De Montreville class. “Zeke” made several brilliant stops and throws and was warm- ly applauded. It is a compliment to his ef- forts to say that not a few late comers among the spectators were not aware that De Montreville was not playing. No runs were made until the fourth in- ning. O’Brien, the first batter for Wash- ington, led off with a clean hit to right, and Brown cleverly advanced him to second by punting the ball to the pitcher. Cartwright whacked up a ball that dropped between Griffin and Jones and O’Brien crossed the plate, Ed going to second and taking third on McJarres’ out at first. Abbey singled and Cartwright tallied: « The other two Wagbington scores hap- pened in the eighth. Selbach reached first as the result of a poof throw by Shindle. McGuire drove a slow. one toward second, put Daub rolled all o¥ér it and two men were on bases. On Smith’s out they moved up one apiece. Selbach.s¢ored on O'Brien's out to Anderson and McGuire passed on to third. Jim crossed the plate on Brown’s hit over first. a McGuire and Shind with the stick. Sharf, playing by the lo- cals in the seventh the score from being tied. Shindle secured a two-bagger and was advanced to fhird on McCarthy's out, from O'Brien tojfartwright. A run seemed a certainty, but'Grim sent one high in the air which was just to McGuire's lik- ing, and Daub for the sgcond time struck id the best work out.

That mysterious conference In this city Monday, about which a great deal of non- sense has been printed, and which it was thought referred to the purchase of the New York franchise, is thus explained by the Baltimore Sun: While the Orioles were enjoying them- selves at St. Charles’ College on Monday Manager Hanlon, accompanied by Mr. H. R. Vonderhorst, was in conference with President N. E. Young of the National League and Mr. C. H. Byrne of Brooklyn. Messrs. Young and Byrne are members cf the Temple cup committee of the league, and one of the principal reasons why Messrs. Hanlon and Vonderhorst went over to Washington was to see if the committee had any new plans or suggestions to make with reference to the Temple cup games. They had not, and the games will be play- ed in the same way as before. The series will begin in Baitimore this year, however, Instead of Cleveland, as was the case last year. Mr. Hanlon dented the story printed in Washington and New York that he and Mr. Vonderhorst had any {dea of buying the New York club, and said that Mr. Eaton of the Diamond Match Company was not in Washington, as stated, and that no such matter was discussed. BATTING AVERAGES. DeMontreville Has Gone Up Near the i Top of the List. Burkett made a great stride last week, increasing his average from .389 to .397. Jennings also increased his from .393 to -398, and is one point ahead of Jesse. Mc- Graw, who was second at the end of last week, with .392, fell down to eleventh, with 34.

He Has No Thought of Retiring From the Base Ball Business. From the New York Journal. The Giants were to have met the Phila- delphias in the first of a three-game series at the Polo Grounds yesterday, but the rain fell in torrents while the players were tak- ing their positions on the field, and Umpire Hornung called the game. As Friday is an open date, yesterday's postponed game will be played on that date. Secretary Bonnell took occaston yester- day to make the announcement that the conference between several magnates at Washington on Monday had nothing to do with the purchase of the New York club's franchise. “Mr. Freedman,” he said, “is in the league to stay, and he will not listen to any proposition to buy out his interests. “Rumors such as the one which came from Washington have been floating about for ‘some time,” he addeJ, “but you can this and, as Mr. hes promised to strengthen the team in several positions before next season, I think this city will be represented by a team that it will be proud of. “Monday's conference was merely to ar- range details for this year’s Temple cup series. The same rules will govern this contest as last year.” ‘Rase Ball Notes. It is probable that Pittsburg will give Abel Lezotte, its new Eastern Leaguer, a trial at first base. Manager Ewing of the Cincinnati club has decided on a change in his team in order to increase its batting strength. Holliday will be given a trial at first base and Vaughn used fcr catching only. The Reds blame the downfall on Light batting. The game scheduled yesterday beteeen Baltimore and Boston was, on account of the inclement weather, postponed until Fri- day, which is an open date. nce Jordan, the young woman who Was arrested on a charge of steal:ng a ii- cycle, stated that after getting the bicycle she gone over to Baltimore with Ball Player Hugh Jennings. Jennings said yes- terday: “There is not a word of truth in it. I was playing ball at Union Park from about 9 o'clock in the morning of Labor Day until nearly dark, and could not have been in Washington. I do not know the ‘woman, and never heard of her before.” TO MEET EASTERN CRACKS. Tournament of mterenst. SAN FRANCISCO, September 16.—Ore of the most interesting tennis tourna- ments ever held on this coast will be held on the San Rafael courts next week, for the local champions will be pitted against three of the eastern cracks, who have ac- cepted the invitation of the California Lawn Tennis Association. They are R. D. Wrenn, W. A. Larned and Carr B. Neel. They will leave New York tn a special car on the 20th instant, and will come di- rect to San Francisco. Robert N. Whitney and George F. Whit- ney, the present champions of the Pacific coast, will play in doubles against Wrenn and Larned. Sam and Sumner Hardy, Thomas Driseod and Walter Magee are some of the local men who are anxious to face the champions. W. H. Taylor is getting ready to play a match with Wrenn and Joe Tobin, and Walter Hobart hopes to try conclusions with Neel. ——— A GOOD HORSE SHOW First Session of the Prince William Horse- man’s Association. Those to Whom Were Awarded Premiums—Some Excitement Over One Decision—Large Attendance. Correspondence of The Evening Star. MANASSAS, Va, September 15, 1896. The Prince William Horseman's Asso- ciation held the first session of its annual horse show here today. The attendance was estimated at one thousand, and would have been much larger but for the over- cast skies in the forenoon. The arena was beautifully situated about one mile from Manassas, in a fine open meadow, around which runs a half-mile race track, afford- ing a pretty view of the Blue Ridge in the distance. The grand stand and ring, which measured 200x300 feet, were arranged on the same plan as that of the Madison Square Garden, and were a credit to the association and its chief promoters. The following were today’s prize winners: Hackneys, class No. 1—Goldenbeam, a magnificent sorrel stallion, owned by Henry Simpers, took the blue ribbon. Half-breed hackneys, class chestnut mare Brendar of Mars Thompson of Warrenton, won first prize, undisputed. Quick draught, class No. 7, two-year-olds —Duke, bay gelding, W. W. Gould owner, first; chestnut filly, Robt. Portner of Manassas owner, second. Class No. 8, three-year-olds—Dick, brown gelding, owned by Gibson Brothers of Fauquier, first; Queen Ann, brown mare, same owners, second. This ‘pair attracted considerable attention among the breeders present. Class No. 9, four-year-olds—Frank, an iron gray gelding, owned by J. S. Douglass of Prince William, first; Frederick the Great, a handsome bay gelding, owned by Charles W. Smith of the Warrenton Hunt, second. Class No. 10—four-year-olds, Frank Mor- gan, bay gelding, owned by John Richey, took the blue ribbon undisputed. Class No. 11—five-year-olds, Czar of Rut sia, a superb black stallion, owned by H. C. Norris of Fauquier, first; Revenue Siamp. a bay stallion, owned ‘by E. W. Birch, second. The judges, with Mr. Clar- ence Moore of the Chevy Chase Hounds, dissenting, awarded the ribbon to Revenue Stamp, which was at once vigorously pro- tested by Mr. Norris, the owner of the Czar. The matter was promptly adjusted by the executive committee of the asso- ciation, which reversed the decision and declared the Czar the winner of the first prize. The spectators appeared somewhat excited over the judges’ decision, and a large contingent from Fauquier urged Mr. Norris to give a performance over the race course, to which he assented. As he drove the beautiful imported Orloff around the circle the crowd, which embraced a large number of ladies, applauded to the echo. Gaited saddle, class No. 12—three-year- clds, Starlight, black gelding, H. W. Reid, owner, first; Dixie, a brown gelding, Chas. Reid, owner, second. Class No. 13—four-year-olds, Dixie, chest- nut mare, W. A. Buckley, owner, first; Dimple, chestnut gelding, D. P. Edmonds, owner, second.

Florence, gray mare, owned by David F< ter, second. Light-weight hunters, class No. 25, was the most exciting and interesting feature of the day’s program. Eppa Goodwin of Manassas was the victor on his splendid gray gelding, in a field of twelve cracks. Free Silver, Ravensworth, bay gelding, rid- den by his owner, U. D. Benner of the Warrenton hounds, second, and Anna Wit, ridden by Fleet Galloway of Warrenton, and owned by M. Kirkpatrick, third. J. Holloway and Clarence Moore of Wash- ington, Wm. McGibbon, J. H. Gheen and Willam N. Wood occupied the judges’ stand. W. A. Buckley, president of the association; L. A. Larkin, jr., secretary, and W. F. Merchant, clerk of the course, presided over the meeting in the attractive stend erected on the edge of the ring for the officers and the press. George H. Ayre of the Upperville Colt Show Association was marshal-in-chief of the day, and was a picturesque figure, with his immense frame and clarion voice. The Warrenton Hooe, M. . Barclay Beran, James K. Maddux, Dr. Shirley Carter, John 8. Gaines, John Stone, Henry Hutton and others. A large crowd is expected to be present tomorrow, which, with the very fair at- tendance of today, considering the weather, will make the affair a financial success. This show with its 118 entries, among them many high-class horses, is a credit to the people of Prince William and will have the effect of stimulating the development of high-bred stock. ee JONES’ PLURALITY 52,451.
