WELL-CONTESTED BASKET BALL GAME House Warming of a New Cycle Club. YALE FRESHMEN BEATEN Sa The public had the best of the profes- sional bettors at the Benning track yester- day, three favorites winning, and the other two races being captured by second choices. After The Swain had won the first race, Minnie Alphonse, the 8 to 5 favorite, ridden by Doggett, beat Aunt Sally in the second, at five furlongs, by a length and a half, Endeavor being a length back. The second horse was at 5 and the third at 40 to 1. Time, 1.04 2-5. The third race was at a mile and an eighth, and was won by Kingstone, Maher up, at 3 to 5, Sir Dixon, jr., at 16 to 5, be- ing half a length back, and four lengths in front of Flames, at 10 to 1. Time, 1.68 4-5. Declare, the 3 to 5 favorite, ridden by Sims, won the fourth race, at seven fur- longs, finishing a length in front of South Africa, at 8 to 1, Campania, at 8 to 1, being a length behind. Time, 1.30 2-5. The last ¢ace was a full course steeple- chase, five starting. Decapod, at 2 to 1, and ridden well by Chandler, led from start to finish, winning, pulled up, by three lengths from Mars Chan, at 6 to 1, he be- ing eight lengths in front of Southerner. Caress, the 9 to 5 favorite, ridden by Mr. Nichols, fell at the jump in front of the ladies’ stand the first time around, and Hiwassee, at 8 to 1, came to grief there the second time around, his ler, Callahan, suffering a broken collar bone. Mr. Nichols escaped injury, but his mount suf- fered a badly sprained foreleg. Sir Rod- erick was fourth. Time, 5.: EASTERNS WON. A Well-Contested Basket Ball Game With the Queer Wheelmen. The Eastern Athletic Club and the Queer Wheelmen played a game of basket ball at the Light Infantry armory last night, the former being the victors by a score of 2 tol. The game was well played and warm- ly contested. A large gathering was in at- tendance and cheered the good plays re- Peatedly. The officials were Harry Lee, referee, and P. W. Smith, umpire, the, con- test being sufficiently warm to keep both on the alert for foul plays. The line-up fol- lows: DEFEATED. Freshmen Beaten by Princeton’s Heavier Eleven. The freshmen foot ball eleven from New Haven met defeat at the hands of the Princeton 1900 team at Princeton, N. J., yesterday afternoon by a score of 14 to 4. It was a one-sided contest. The Princeton boys were superior at almost every point, and Yale was forced to play its hardest to make the first gains. The Princeton eleven were much heavier than their opponents, and to the superiority in weight, together with the individual brilliancy of the play- ers, the victory is due. HIGH SCHOOL GAMES. ‘The First Game Between Central and Eastern Postponed. The games between the Central and East- ern for the High School foot ball cham- Pionship have been delayed on account of the inability of the managers to obtain suitable grounds. The first game, scheduled -for Saturday on the Georgetown College campus, has been postponed until Wednes- day, December 2, and will be played on Columbia Field. The playing of both teams has not been as good lately as it has been during the year, but the showing made by both elevens when they met the Gallaudets, Maryland Agricultural College and Episcopal High School elevens was satisfactory, considering the weights of the others and advantages for training and practice. ‘The Central team will outweigh the Easterns by a good margin. Both teams have good individual players, and an exciting and close game will be the re- suit. The Central school boys have been playing Kimmel as right half-back in all their games. Kimmel does not attend school, and, according to the agreement entered into between the two schools, he will not be allowed to play without the Eastern’s consent. The Eastern boys say that Kimmel can play, if they can play an outside man to match him, but to this the Central school will eagerly agree. The fol- jowing is what will probably be the line- up of the two teams: Position. Eastern. L. E. Jerry Maupin ...-Bell Snell Foot Ball Games Elsewhere.

At the recent meeting of the National League in Chicago, as noted at the time in The Star, the delegates passed a resolution, offered by Mr. Chas. Byrne of Brooklyn,pro- viding for a pension for Mr. Henty Chad- wick, the Nestor of base ball journalism. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1896—12' PAGES. “we President Young was Instructed to offi- ctally apprise the veteran of the league's action, which he did in_the following grace- “Dear Mr. Republics may be ungrateful, but the representative men of our great American ean prove by their many kind and‘ ily acts that they are truly as great as the manly and hon- orable sport of which’ they are the recog- nized champions. At. ‘ur annual meeting Mr. Byrne offered a motion that, in view of your long services in.edvancing the best interests of the game’with your ready and able pen, and for such #ervices as you may hereafter be able t@ tender the playing rules committee, of ;Which Mr. Hart is chairman, the treasurer be authorized and directed to pay you a salary of fifty @0) dollars per month:during the balance of your natural life. It is hardly necessary for me to Mr. Byrne's motion, and it goes without saying that it was unanimously adopted. “T can only add that it was a well-mer- ited recognition of your long and faithful service as a champion and advocate of clean, honest base ball, and express the hope that a kind Providence will grant me the pleasure of sending you a monthly check for many long years to come. “Sincerely yours, “N. E. YOUNG.” Connecticut Base Ball League. Representatives of #Ix of the principal cities of Connecticut, New Haven, Meriden, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Middletown and Derby, met at New Haven yesterday after- noon and formed the Connecticut League of Base Ball Clubs, effecting a temporary organization. . President Robison’s Denial. President Robison_of the Cleveland base ball club says that there is no truth in the stcry to the effect that tlie Cleveland and St. Louis clubs are to be pooled next sum- mer, the best players to be sent to the lat- ter city and the poorest kept at Cleveland. Mr. Robison said he had not entered into any negotiations with Von Der Ahe, and it was his determination to make the Cleve- land club better than ever next season. Chain and Sprocket Club. The Chain and Sprocket Club opened their new club rooms last night at 1236 12th street northwest, with a house-warming and banquet. The club members had in- vited their friends and many were present. A number of musical pieces were rendered, including a selection from “Robin Hood,” by Chas. Jerman; one by W. B. Cham- bers, and the Chain and Sprocket Two- Step, composed especially for the occasion by George Becker. e in the evening the members and their friends adjourned to the dining room, where they were served with an excellent supper, under the direc- tlon of the house committee. The com- mittee in charge of the dance to be given in January at the National Rifles’ Hall are making rapid progress in their ar- rangements. For Georgetown University Athletics. An entertainment was given in Gaston Memorial Hall last night by the George- town University Glee, Banjo, Mandolin and Comedy Club for the benefit of the College Athletic Association, and the affair was a success in every particular. The program given embraced many attractive features, and the large audience was quick to see and appreciate the good things offered. These who participated were John Law- rence Nagle, violinis; Paul W. Evans, black face sketch; Bejjedict Francis Maher, elocutionist; W. R. Benham, basso; Chas. A. Greene and Joseph H. Keane,’ Dutch sketch; George O’Conmior,xcomic songs; Ed- ward J. Walsh, recitations; Michael’ Mc- Laughiin, Irish sketch, and’ Ed McManus, clog cancing. Polo at Fort Myer.

BD A Mother's View of It. ‘To the Biitor of The }vgaing-Star: I have been a nightly reader of the com- plaints published in yeur paper about the present system of teaching :in the public schools. I for one wish to say a few words in praise of the conscientfous and pains- teking attention which the teachers be- stow upon the cnildren. In my family there are six children, rang- ing in ages from six and a half to thir- teen years, and attending the second, third and fifth grades, only the two younger chil- dren going to the same teacher. I indorse the statement made by “Student” in a recent issue so far as my knowledge goes. Neither my children nor those of my neigh- bors have made any complaint about their lessons being complicated, difficult, conflct- ing with each other in any way or incom- prehensible to them. My children have been taught to refer to the dictionary whenever in doubt, and they consider the use of the dictionary necessary to their studies. I am a fair speller, but I have never yet scorned the use of a dictionary, and mentally bless Noah Webster every time I have to refer to him. I consider good penmanship far More necessary than good reading, and I cannot express praise enough for the pres- ent system. Among my six children there is not one poor writer for their ages and grades. Every lesson brought home from school to be exhibited deserves praise, and each lesson written at home gives joy to my heart. It taxes me greatly to look over the les- sons and to suggest, assist or advise, be- cause I am cne of the mothers who do the baking and mending, the housework from garret to cellar, washing, ironing and mak: irg, too. f was taught by the old: method, and I have heard my mother complain frequently about Lome lessons—for we had them—and I believe mothers and fathers, too, will go on complaining until a race of educated beings is born into the world who will not have to be taught. I-wish to say also that the complainis atout the lack of attention to reading are in my cpinion unjust and overdrawn. I ranked among the best readers ani poorest writers in every grade which I attended. I was called upon to read for the entertainment of nearly every visitor who called at the school. I was in all the entertainments ard recited at all of the ex~ aminations. @ consequence I was filled with conceit and neglected other studies which would have beea cf more profit to me in later years. I have only one daughter, and she racks my nerves every time she reads to me, but she brings home the most beautifully written compositicns and is complimented by her teacher for exquisite neatness in all her written matter. As the majority of the school work is written I do not fear that her other studies will be neglected for penmanship, as she is compelled-to have her leegons correct, ‘bt She is not quite ten years old, and I consider her progresg.td have been. very satisfactory, as she ie fifth grade. is as easy for a-chifi to learn under tke present system. 'Thé school life of a child cf .the present? gerfération is made more attractive, the sympathy between the teacher and pupil is closer, and the oppor- tunities for advancemBpt gteater than they were ine we tails ‘The three R’s ; Hein neglected so far as I can Judge, asd the inattention cf pupils and parents is the pause of half the commotion.

The entertainment given last evening at Gaston Memorial Hall of Georgetown Uni= versity by the Banjo, Guitar, Mandolin, Giee and Comedy clubs for the benefit of the athletic association brought out a large and fashionable audience. The large hall was brilliantly illuminated and gorgeously decorated, the blue and gray colors of the ‘varsity predominating. The program was long and well rendered, ail of the partici- pants acquitting themselves with great credit. The Glee Club opened the program, being the first public appearance of the club. John Lawrence Nagle followed with a violin selection. Paul W. Evans render- ed a “Study in Black.” Benedict Francis Maher delivered several recitations, and he was followed by the ‘banjo club. W. R. Benham rendered the ‘‘Armorer’s Song” in an excellent manner. The Dutch colorings of Charles A. Green and Joseph H. Keane were very good. George O'Connor, in his inimitable manner, gave several comic se- lections, being followed by Edward J. Walsh in recitations. The mandolin club gave a selection, followed by a study in green by Charles M. McLaughlin. Edward McManus in dancing steps and the glee club closed the evening's entertainment. Deaths and Funerals. Miss Marcia Malvina Libbey, the daugh- ter of the late Joseph and Mary Orme Lib- bey, died quite suddenly Tuesday forenoon at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Freder- ick E. Chapin of 1416 30th street. Her fu- neral was held this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the chapel in Oak Hill cemetery, her sister being too ill to.hold the funeral at the residence. The funeral of Richard J. McCarthy, who committed suicide Tuesday morning at 1411 32d street, was held this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence of his wife's par- ents at 1136 2ist street, where the remains had been removed after the coroner had given a certificate of death.

Pa erage Politics and the Inauguration. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Why should the question of past politi- cal beliefs and affiliations affect in the slightest degree the selection of chairman of the inaugural committee on March 4 next? : There never was such a presidential cam- paign in our history as the last, and there will never be another like it. In that con- test life-long democrats “sunk the parti- san in the patriot,” and as earnestly and vigorously opposed Bryan’s election as did Mark Hanna. When Mr. Hanna concedes that the distribution of 25,000 votes would have defeated McKinley's election, and pays proper tribute to the patriotism of the “‘sound money” democrats, whose votes turned the scale, when Gen. Alger-at Bos- ton recognizes their patriotic stand and ‘work, and when that “stalwart of republi- can stalwarts”"—Edward Lauterbach—at the dinner given ex-Gov. Flower by the Democratic Club of New York on ‘Tues- dey night last, said that “the situation in the late campaign had its parallel in 1861, when the preservation of the coun- try was at stake; that he saw no occasion for a separation of the allies; that it was the duty of the republican party to so comport itself that all the sound money democrats who helped place it in power could stand by it for the next four years; that the fight had not yet been won, as 6,000,000 voters cast their ballots for Bryan and the Chicago platform, and that we must fight together till the Ali mans and Debses are all destroyed their teachings forgotten;” and after Mr. Bryan has formally opened the c: of 1900 on the sole issue of free. silver coin- age—not at 16 to 1, but at most “any old ratio”—then it seems to me the petty squab- ble about the chairmanship of the maugu- ral committee should cease, and Col.
