Their reservation includes. most of the land on Madeline bay. In the marshes of this broad sheet of water are found the egret, heron and crane in large numbers. Smith reached San Francisco a week or 50 ago with several bags of fedthers, egret. The load weighed less- than four pounds, but {it netted Mr. Smith $1,575. Even tho heron’s feathers come high. They fetch at wholesale from §8 to $10 an ounce. One heron, Mr. Smith says, will yield often feathers worth $150. If herons are more plentiful than egret, they are more profit- able hunting, because there is only a small tuft of covering on the egret that is mar- ketabie.

Several stables of | horses have already arrived, and several are expected today. and tomorrow, so that there will be no scarcity of entries dur- ing the fall meeting of the Washington Jockey Club, which opens at the Benning. course tomorrow, and continues for two weeks. Superintendent Clare has the track in magnificent shape, visiting horsemen de- claring it to be one of the finest in the country. The buildings and grounds are in keeping with the track, everything be- ing as bright and clean as a rew pin. An Innovation which will be greatly appreci- ated is the determination of the club man- agement to admit ladies free, and as every- thing will be done for their comfort and conver.ience, the attendance of the fair sex is bound to be very large. -Among the stables here and which will arrive today are the fololwing: W.

IT WAS A GREAT RACE. The Hunt Cup Steeplechane Over the 2 Four-Mile Course. Special Correspwndence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, November 15, 1896. The nine-day autumn meeting of the Pimlico Jockey Club was brought to a close Saturday with an attendance of nearly 5,000, which was a representative southern gathering. Society came out in all its splender to take a final airing before the drawing room season sets in. There were beautiful women in fine raiment, fashionably clad men and a brilliant array of costly and stylish equipages. ‘I'he in- terest of the throng centered on the last event of the day, which was the great Hunt cup steeplechase at four miles, open to gentlemen riders of any recognized hunt organization, The field was a cmall one, but consisted of high class hunters and crack riders, who gave an exhibition of cross country horse- manship which has not been surpassed and probably not equaled in the south since the war. It was the general verdict among those who are recognized authori- tes on the laws and usages of the chase, as representing the National Hunt Asso- ciation and the various organizations of that character in the north, thet it eclipsed anything of the kind ever witnessed above Mason and Dixon's line. Even the south- erners of the old regime and the present generation, some of whom figured in the cavalry service, expressed their surprise at the dash, courage and skill displayed by the young men who carried their horses over the formidable obstacles with such noncralance and ease. And yet in many respects there was some of the hardest riding and most daring risks in the annals of steeplechasing. The personnel of the contest was as fol- lows: De Garnette, owned by Mr. M. F. H. Birckhead and ridden by Mr. Sam. Nicholas of the Green Sprirg Valley Hunt; Trillion, owned and ridden by Mr. Will Hayes of Warrenton, Va., who rides to the Meadow- brook hounds, New York; Harry Harwood, owned by Mr. James McK. Merryman of the Green Spring Valley, and ridden by Mr. Arthur Hall of Virginia, and Sam_D. owned by Mr. Charles Hurkamp of Fred- ericksburg, and ridden by Mr. Ernest Hayes of the Warrenton, Va., Hunt Club. Trillion took the lead in beautiful style, Sam D., secomd, Harry Harwood third, while De Garnette was delayed, but got off with a handicap of twenty-five lengths. for two miles the Hayes brothers on Tril- lion and Sam D. were masters of the situa- tion and took their mounts over the jumps in superb fashion, to the delight of the spectators. Mr. Hall was urging Harry Harwood with success, and Mr. Nicholas, who had been far in the rear, was coming like a torrent, when at the “fly bank” he made a wonderful burst of speed and chal- lenged Trillion. The leaders were now almost bunched and the grand stand echoed with enthusi- asm. But Trillion soon took a fine spurt and opened up a gap, which he maintained until the three-mile post and rail, when De Garnette moved up and gave him another great challenge, which enthused the crowd beyond description. On they went like cen- taurs over hedge, fence, water and stone wall, when Mr. Hall, who had driven Harry Harwood a trifle too strong at the water jump, lost his grip at the post and rail (watch has proved the stumbling block all during the meeting), struck the top board and went down with his mount, roiling headforemost, which put him out of the race, although he sustained no Injury and pluckily remounted. De Garnette was in the meantime bccom- ing dangerous, but not until a half a mile from home did he catch Trillion, when Nicholas began whipping like an angry P parent, while Hayes was having his arms pulled out of their sockets. As they turned into the Stretch De Garnette gave Trillion another bold challenge, ,but Will Hayes called on his superb mount, which respond- ed to the summons and went tearing past the goal a winner by three lengths, De Garnette second, Sam D, third. It was truly a brilliant climax to as fair a day as ever dawned upon beautiful old Pim- lico, which is hallowed with so many ex- citing episodes and interesting traditions that have contributed such picturesque pas- sages to the history of the American turf. As predicted in The Star’s correspondence tén days ago, the hunting contests have been the most striking feature of the renaissance at Pimli They have not only been effective as a drawing card, but have attracted the very best character of sporting men from the north and south alike and received the indorsement of Bal- timore’s representative people. Even the trotting men and private drivers have ex- -pended their patronage freely, and so inuch gratified are the members of the Driving | Club-that they have practically made a proposition to the hunt club which, if entertained, will probably result in those organizations being incorporated and here+ “after figure as a permanent feature of the spring and fall race: meetings at Pimlico, ‘Trillion is a handsome chestnut, over sixteen hands high, five years old and was sired by King Ernest, dam Trill. Ia his last run to hounds this fall Mr. Hayes rode Trillion and captured the brush from a field-of cracks. In a conversation at thé club“ house just after the race, Mr. Hayes said: “I have been riding on the turf and fox hunting since my boyhood, and I am unable to recall at this moment a more beautiful race. It was exciting, too, for De. Gsrnette gave me several good chal- lenges, but my mount was too vigorous for the Genessee valley horse. Trillion ran and jumped magnificently, and my only fear was he would get away from my control.” Mr. Ernest Hayes surprised the public by making such a good race on Mr. Hurkamp’s Sam D. The old herse is notional, and had refused in the two last steeples in which he started. Yesterday, however, he feit the master touch of the man from Warren- ton and took every jump in the field. Out of four steeplechases run at this meeting the St. Ayres brothers won three, and the defeat of Ernest Hayes in the “Pink Coat” by a nose was almost as splendid ag a vic- tory. a z Mr. Nicholas has Irffnortalized the beau- tiful Green Spring Wmlley at this meeting. He is a hard and courageous rider, who takes every chance that offers, and is per- hapa .the ‘boldest tleman horseman in Maryland. He seeme¢di somewhat exhausted after yesterday's and his bloodshot eyes told the story e tremendous strug- gle he had madg to win: In discussing the contest, he said: “In my whole career in the saddle I have never ridden a harder or better race. I was at a disaavantage at the start. De Garnette had been worked too much, although he jumped magnificently and at’ times showed great speed. This makes the fourth.steeple in which he has started within a week, and the distance today_proved too much for him, While he is by no means outclassed by Trillion, I think fhe latter superior.” There was a salq’of -yearlings at the track in the morning, which were bred in the stables of the Marrises and R.

Mr,Rae-Parr of Baltimore purchased Louise No é In the first race Ten Spot fell, throwin Jockey Harris and breaking his collar ‘bone, Which wil} incapacitate him for riding for som time. . : Mr. H. G.

Three of the Kansas star players decided to abandorf foot ball forever and the Doane team is so broken up that it may disband. No blame is attached to dny one. It was purely an accident. ENDED IN A FIGHT. Spectators at a Game Joined. in. a 2 ’Serimmage. In the latter half of the gayne Saturday afternoon on Vanderbilt Untyersity cam- pus between Vanderbilt and the University of Tennessee a scrimmage occurred between the players, which was aggravated by spectators taking possession of the field. It.ended in @ lively fight, in which specta- tors and students of both colleges took part. Many bruises were inflicted and some ugly wounds with sticks.- The spec- tators were roundly denounced for asstst- ing in producing rows and fights, as they were more pugilistic than the half dozen players who had the first trouble. ‘The University of Tennessee team left the field wnd ‘the gamé’went to Vanderbilt. COLUMBIAS GOOD FORM.

The game was yot so one-sided as a person would judge*from the score, and the visitors played a cleyersame of ball. ‘They were outclassed in‘evefy respect, and did well in holding down ;their opponents as they did. The local cleyga was in condidon to meet the champion team of the Hamp- ten Athletic Club, 4) The game was weld playe, and free from brutality, the visitors ‘playing very clean ball Lange. who played fulluck. former- ly filling the same poaillon on the Univer- sity of Virginia eleven, put up a star game for the visitors,’ while Ahderson, who play- ed right end, camein tor much praise by his good work.

It was in this half thatthe visitors succeeded in scoring by sharp work, Lange standing away frém the line-up, and when the ball was thrown to him, nad nearly a clear feld for a touchdown. ‘This trick was tried a second time, but did‘not work. In making the first touchdown, Maupin, for the local boys, ran nearly seventy-five yards. In the Second half the lecal eleven made two mere touchdowns ani one goal, the first in the half being made by Lewis, who ran nearly fifty yards. Darkness was fast cov- ering the field, and the players cculd not be distinguished when the game was called. ‘Team From Philadel- Georgetown “Sophs.” Won.

Consul General Lee, who is on a visit to this city to confer with the Secretary of State on Cuban affairs, has made a state- men fn regard to the situation. While not denying the possibility of war with Spain, he expressed the opinion that the reporis that open rupture was imminent and that consequent preparations for trouble were be- ing made by both countries are greatly exaggerated. He said he had no knowl edge of immediate danger of hostility, though, of course, there was great feeling among some Spaniards against this coun- try, who thought that without filibuster- ing ald and comfort from here the rebel- lion might be easily suppressed. He said he had no information as to whether the Spanish were preparing for war, but they might be making extensive military prepa- rations without aiming theni particularly at the United States, in view of the trou- ble they are having with Cuba and the Philippine Islands. He said: “I do not believe that there has been any massing of armament in Cuba with view to possible trouble with the United States, nor that the construction of Span- ish war vessels is to be attributed to any such contingency. The Spanish may be improving their defenses wherever possi- ble, but It does not necessarily imply ex- pectation of war. The United States is steadily strengthening its fortifications and defense works, but it is an old maxim that says: ‘In time of peace prepare for war.’ “About the war sentiment in Cuba? The Spanish officials said nothing to me that indicated an expectation of war. ‘The only thing that could be construed to give that impression 1s the mounting of a hat- tery of heavy seacoast. guns along ithe coast above Havana. There are from twelve to fifteen of these that extend per- haps a mile or a mile and a half north of the limits of the city proper. These point to the sea and not toward the insurgents. In case of attack it 1s possible these might be made to supplement the defense given by Moro Castle, other forts. “The Spanish authorities rather censure the United States for not strictly enforc- ing the neutrality laws; and snaay think that, as the sympathy of this country is more with the insurgents than with the Spanish, our government does not want to take the proper precautions to prevent expeditions leaving United States seaports and landing in Cuba. I told the Spanisa authorities that they must remember that there was an immense extent of seacoast here, with innumerable inlets and places where expeditions could be concentrated and embarked. From the trouble. with which they themselves had to prevent the land- ing of such expeditions on the Cuban coast, notwithstanding the fact that their gun- boats and other vessels were constantly patrolling the coast and on the lookout for filibusters, some idea could be formed of the comparative ease with which the United States authorities could be evaded. With the comparatively small Cuban coast line, I know of only one big exped:tion— that of the Three Friends—which has been captured by them. Yet this country has certainly prevented the starting of at least half a dozen big expeditions for the island. In view of this, as an object lesson of the difficulty of putting a stop to fili- bustering, I contended that the Spanish ought to be.careful about censuring us.” —_—___ + e+ THE REVIVAL IN BUSINESS.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from La Plata, Md., dated yesterday, says: George Matthews, accused of the murder of James Irwin, who made his eseape from La Plata jail on October 13, returned of his own volition at an early hour this morning and surprised Jailer Washington Burch by |. @ request to be admitted to his old quar- ters. : It was after daylight when he called to Burch and asked to be let in the Jail, but he said he had been walking around and about the jail premises about two hours before he apprised the jailer of his willingness to again become a prisoner. He declares that he has never been out of the county, and that he has seen the sheriff and others who were looking for him since he has been in hiding, and was on one of these occasions tempted to show himself and surrender to the sheriff, but determined to walk to the jail and give himself up instead. He teld the jailer that it was through trouble brought on by a woman that he was at first incarcerated, and that after his escape his temporary freedom was attended by comforts ministered to him by that sex. He claims to have been in Cobb Neck all the while since his escape, and that he could, if he had desired, been in Europe. He presents a neat appearance and evidence of good treatment. His face is cleanly shaven but for his mustache. He seems more at ease with himself than at any time since his arrest. ——__+o+____ Opinion of Sheridan. Gen. Horace Porter, in the Ceutury. Sheridan arrived in Washington on April 4. He had been worn down almost to a shadow by hard work and exposure in the field; he weighed only 115 pounds, and as ; his height was but five feet six inches, he looked ariything but formidable as a can- didate for a cavalry leader. He had met the President and the officials at the War Department that day for the first time, and it was his appearance on this occasion which gave rise to a remark made to Gen. Grant the next time he visited the depart= ment: “The officer you brought on from the west is rather a little fellow to handle your cavalry.” To which Grant replied, “You will find him big enough for the pur- pose before we get through with him.” Grant’ } hanksgiving Day Linens-- Such is fame! ‘We are known from one end of Washington to the other for the fineness and effectiven you are a newcomer into the res “Greater Store.” ing Day. buying th’ reason is the “purene: flax here. q Lunch and Dinner Sets.
