WON BY TEAM WORK Columbia’s Crushing Defeat of the Fort Monroe Team. OTHER LOCAL THANKSGIVING GAMES Interesting Contests in Other Cities. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS —EEESS The foot ball game hetween the Columbia Athletic Club and the team composed of officers frem Fort Monroe, at Columbia field yesterday afternoon, resulted in a vic- tory for the home club by 26 to 6. As told in yesterday’s Star, the two teams were fairly matched, but the C. A. C.’s showed their superiority in team play and every time they secured the ball they were able by good interference and snappy work to make good runs, as a rule, around the ends. The Army bcys were the heavier and the only way they could advance the ball was by the we'ght of their rush line, carrying it through Columbia's center for short gains. The game was in a sense mo- notcious, for the tactics pursued were the same thrcughout. When it was the Army’s ball they were able to push it up the fleld, but would lose it on downs and the Co- lumbias would then follow up with a se- ries of runs, some of which, however, were really brilliant. Carron made the best run of the day for the visiting team, but for the Columbias Dickinson fairly outdid himself with a run of seventy-five yards. Maupin, Parson and Humphrey also dis- tinguished themselves by theit good work. In the secord half Humphrey collided with ene of the members of his own team and was $0 badly hurt about the head that he was compelied to retire. Timberlake was the bright particular star of the Army. Mr. J. R. Church, Princeton, and Mr. B. McCauley, jr., of the Naval Academy were chosen as umpire and referce, respective- ly, but early in the first half Mr. Churca retired in favor of Mr. Chas. H. Boynton, Lehigh. In the second half Lieut. Stout of Fert Myer officiated as Boyntcn as referee. Tha game was a tedious one, owing to the continuous wrargles between the teams and the protests on almost every decision. The tiresome waits occasioned on this ac- count detracted corsiderably from the in- terest of the game and many spectators left before it was ccmpleted. The work of the officials in charge of the grounds and of the police was remarkably good. The field was roped off and for abcut the first time in any game in this city the crowds were kept off the ground, and at no time were the players interfered with. After the kick-off Columbia by good play- ing made sinall gairs, Maupin scoring a touct down and Lewis kicking goal. A sec- end touchdown was scored by Maupin for Columbia, soon thereafter. Cannon of the Army then made a long run and was com- pelled to retire on account of injuries. Reisser, who took his place, made a touch- down, and Horn kicked goal for the sol- diers. Maupin again scored a touchdown for Columbia. Smith kicked the goal. The solciers by bucking the center carried the ball into Columbia's ground when time was called. Score, 16—6. In the second half Columbia carried the ball into Army ground and Maupin made a teuckdown, but Columbia failed to kick the goal. After the ball had been carried well into Columbia territory it was grad- vally worked back and Dickinson made a long run, and efter several downs a touch- dcwn was score.! by Wells. Smith kicked gcal. Time was then called. 26 to 6. Dur- ing the last half Hooker succeeded Maupin and Walsh replaced Humphrey. The teams lined up as follows: Fert Monroe—Roberts, right end; Long, right tackle; Haskett, right guard; Wat- son, center; Perry, left guard; Harris, left tackle; Hall, left end; Horn, quarter back; TimLerlake, full back; Shipton, right half; Cannon, left half. Columbia—Curtis, right end; McGowan, right tackl:; McConville, right guard; Un-* derwood, center; Dickinson, left guard; Wells, left tackle; Humphreys, left end; Parson, quarter back; Smith, full back; Lewis, right half; Hooker, left half. pire, Charles H. Boynton, Lehigh; referee, Mr. McCauley, Annapolis. Second half—Umpire, Mr. Stout, West umpire and Mr. Point; referee, Charles H. Boynton, Le- high, Howard’ Big Victory. The game between the Howard University eleven and the Douglass Association team of Annapolis yesterday afternoon resulted in a victory for Howard by 34 to 0. The local team kept the ball in the enemy's territory almost all the time. Only once was their goal in danger, It was in the first half, and Douglass managed to work the ball ‘to their twenty-yard line, but a fumble gave the ball to Howard and the danger was past.

Just before the end of the game Fugitt, captain of the Columbian team, made a touchdown. Kelly kicked for goal. If he had made it the score would have been a tie.

FOOT BALL GAMES ELSEWHERE. Laurel, 6; Le Droit, 0. The Laurel eleven downed the Le Droit eleven of this city at Laurel, Md., yester- day by a score of 6 to'0. The game was witnessed by a large number of people, and was full of ginger from start to finish. Leurel kicked off, and through the con- sistent work of Lillibridge, Little, Benton, Bond, Burke and Sepean McCullough the pigskin was pushed by steady gains until Laurel scored her touchuown in eighteen minutes Lillibridge then kicked a suc- cessful goal. The Le Droits tried hard in the second half to turn the tide of the day, but Laurel braced up.and almost had the bag at Le Droit’s goal when time was called in the second half. Army, 183 Navy, 4. The tars of the battleship Indiana, com- manded by “Fighting Bob” Evans, lined up in a garae of foot ball at West Point yes- terday with the post team, comprising en- listed men from the various detachments. The post team won by a score of 18 to 4. All of the officers of the Indiana, including the commander, were interested spectators. The ertire West Point contingent, including the ladies, were out in force. Frederick, 6; Rockville, 0. Nearly a thousand persons witnessed the game at the Frederick, Md., fair grounds yesterday between Rockville and Frederick. ‘The home eleven won by a score of 6 to 0. Two halves of twenty-five minutes euch were played, Frederick outplaying Rockville at every point. Eagle, a Rock- ville player, had his right knee badly hurt and had to be taken to his hotel in a car- riage. Brown, 24; Carlisle, 12, ‘The Indians were looked ypon by the knowing ones as sure victors in the game with Brown University at New York yes- terday, but the Brown University boys more than held their own, and cwing to the brilliant play of Fultz, Gammons, Hall and Colby in the first half, they tled the score, with six points registered for cach team, and by brilliant play they got the ball within three feet of Brown's goal line when the referee called time for the ending of the first half, ‘The stopping of the game at this point, when the score was even, was considered by many of the spec- tators to be a poor piece of judgment, but the Carlisle boys took the matter philo- sophically, althpugh it was evident that the Indians could have pushed the ball over for a touchdown in less than five sec- onds. The tinal score was Brown, 24; Carlisle, 12. Chicago University, 7; Michigan, 6. In the big building at Chicago, in which five months ago W. J. Bryan was nominat- ed for the presidency, 15,000 cheering foot ball enthusiasts saw the eleven of the Uni- versity of Chi feat the strong eleven from thé University of Michigan by 7 to 6 in one of the mast. desperately contested games ever played tn Chicago. The result was a surprise to everybody, for, although tHe Chicago eleven professed the utmost cohfidente of winning, this feel. ing was not shared by their supporte: who at.best looked for them to hold their opponents down to a small score. To Herschberger, Qhira®o's full. back, belongs the ‘honor of wining the game. His punt- ing was one of the-features, and-his goal from the field, kicked from the fotty-yard Ine, went cleafily Wetween the goal posts. Chicago A. A., 12; Boston A.°A., 6. “fhe proud colors of the Boston “Athletic Association went down in the mud yester- day before the cherry and black of the Chi- cago Athletic Association Club, the west- erners winning by a score of 12 to 6. The team that had beaten Harvard and dimmed every color but the blue of Yale was defeated by an aggregation of western players which was scarcely a week old. Six of the men on the victorious eleven were’ playing in the places of the expelled mem- bers, but the team work of the men of the Cherry Circle was as sure and fatal as that of a veteran team. Pennsylvania, 32; Cornell, 10. ‘The Pennsylvania foot ball eleven wound up the secson of ‘96 in Philadelphia yes- terday afternoon by playing pretty much the game kind of a game as she has done all along—at times, brilliant, while at other times it would have put to shame a lot of school boys. Cornell played a really brillant game throughout. With the ex- ception of Bassford at quarter, thelr play was almost perfect, and had it not been for the fact that the team was so much lighter than the red and blue, there would not have been thirty-two points scored against them. There were very few at- tempts at tricks by elther team. It was due almost entirely to the magnificent play- ing of Correll's back field that both of thelr touchdowns were made. By steady plunges into the line and an occasional run around the ends McKeever, Ritchie and Beacham got the ball over the red and blue goal line twice. COLORED WHEELMEN RACE. Several Mixhaps, Some Good Contests and Plenty of Sport. The bicycle races of the National Bicycle Club, a local organization of colored wheel- men, yesterday afternpon at the Interna- tional Athletic Park, proved to be full of sport. William Dewey, who has all along been regarded as the champion colored rider of this vicinity, met his Waterloo. William Lee, the son of a well-known Georgetown feed dealer, proved to be his superior, and in the two-mile handicap he paced Dewey about five of the six laps, and won out on the home stretch by several laps. The crowd went wild at his victory, and hats were thrown up in the air, cheers went up from every throat, while a few of the more enthusiastic colored wheelmen hugged each other. The crowd surged out on the track, caught Le just above the bleach- ers, and carried’ him on their shoulders to the grand stand; The fastest le of the afternoon was ridden in the first heat of the mile novice. In the second heat pf the same race there was a spill. George Noble, one of the vic- tims, regained his wheel, and made such a pluck show at the finish, securing fifth place, that the officials decided to permit him to ride in the finals. There was to been a two-mile tan- dem race, in which Washington and Payne were one crew and Russell and Canselor the second crew. The riders started off at the sound of the 1, but the latter crew pushed so hard that a pedal was shoved off before going twenty feet. The other crew was called pind, and as all attempts to repair the broken tandem proved futile, the race was made.a one-third-mile exhi- bition, all of the,crews using the same tan- dem, no other. machine being on the grounds. A picked-up crew, that had not entered the race, managed to win by the narrow margin of three-fifths of a second. The two-mile handicap proved to be a fine race. The limit men were given 275 yards, with Dewey, Jesse Williams and Phillip Coleman on scratch. Dewey suc- ceeded in mowing the field down steadily, and shook most of the men, though Lee ke@t in front of him almost all the time. There were nine rides in the two-mile race for the District championship. The scorers overlooked a lap, and the riders were forced to make seven laps. This excited a good deal of indignation, as the men who crossed the tape in the lead at the end of the ae lap were lost in the shuffie on the final iD. In the last race, the five-mile United States championship, there were nine starters. W. A. Sedgewick, in his fantas- tic striped zebra suit, was looked upon for a place, but he disappointed his backers. Dewey would have undoubtedly won the race, but he was run into by another rider just at the finish of the fourteenth lap, and thrown headlong on the ground. The summary follows: First race, one mile, novice—First heat, S. F. Coleman won; Charles Wilson, sec- ond; West Dent, third; Jessie Powell, fourth; time, 2:27. Second heat, William Lee, first; H W. Freeman, second; Ed- ward Simms, third; George Butcher, fourth; George Noble, fifth; time, 2.32. Fi- nal heat, William Lee won; S. F. Coleman, second; Edward Simms, third; H. W.

BREGGED NOT TO BE HIT. pe Seene im a Sparrin, Contest. The Suburban Road House was the scene of two alleged sparring contests last even- ing. There was a large gathering, but there was a woeful lack of management. Two, bouts were given amid the wildest confusion. Neither amounted to anything, as the men were rot evenly matched. In the first Humphrey Howard bested Billy Hall easily in five rounds without a 00d blow being struck on either side. Both men are colored. The secord bout was between Howard Wilson, colored, the lightweight champion of the District, and Edward Bai s,s welterweight, said to be from Bostoa and to have been Walcott’s sparring partner. Barry is white, and weighed fully fifteen pounds more than his colored adversary. Barry started in with a rush and bang and had Slightly the better of the first round. He undertook to repeat the same tactics in the second round, but Wilson met him with two hard blows on the body tried to crawl out of the ring. W! he could not get out he hung over the ropes and begged Wilson not to hit him. He claimed that he had been struck below the belt. As he refused to respond to the cail for the third round, the decision was given to Wilson. Wilson's fighting last evening was so different and so superior to his tactics dur- ing his late contest with Jack Daly, in which he gave up almost without a strug- gle, that a suspicion has been aroused as to the entire fairness of that contes Joe Vendig was the referee. FINE SPORT AT BE} A Pluckily Ri ted The racing at the Benning track yester- day will long be recalled as furnishing about the best sport seen on a local course. The crowd was one of the largest ever seen on a track in this neighborhood, com- paring favorably with those seen in the best days of the old Ivy City track. The character of the crowd was that seldom seen on a race track during the last sever- al years, the undesirable element being conspicuously absent, and the number of ladies being the largest attending such an occasion for many years. It was an Ideal racing day, the track and weather being perfect, and as five favorites won out of six races, it was a profitable day for tae public. The feature, perhaps, of the day’s sport was the last race, a pink coat steeplechase, of abou: three miles, for gentlemen ride! It was a beautiful contest, and the gentle- man jocks participating demonstrated that they can give the professionals cards and spades and a beating. But three horses Ane Un al started, Trillion, ridden by Mr. Will C. Hayes of the Meadowbrook Hunt of New York; De Garnette, ridden by Mr. Nichols of the Elk Ridge hunt of Maryland, and Nadjie, ridden by Mr. R. Horner of the same hunt. The horses started in front of the grand stand, and, after twice cir- cling the jumps in the infield, they passed out into the field across the back stretch, where they did the two jumps there and then entered the track at the last turn, going over a hurdle just after passing the three-quarter pole. It was soon seen that Trillion was the best horse in the race, and he practically led from start to finish. But in going over the jump in front of the ladies’ stand the second time Trillion stum- bled and his rider lost his stirrup, not re- gaining it until the big water jump had been passed. It was then that De Gar- nette passed Trillion or a moment or two. But Mr. Hayes almost immediately placed his mount in front again, and at the last jump in the far field De Garnette stumbled badly, throwing his rider. Almost every one then concluded that De Garnette was out of it? but Mr. Nichols never lost hold of the reins, and, remounting at once, he set trail for Trillion and also for Nadiie, the latter having passed De Garnette when he met his mishap. The fall had, however, done De Garnette no harm, and by the time the track was reached he was on even terms with Nadjie. They took the hurdle in the track together, and then Nadjie was left behind in every jump. But De Garnette, despite the vigorous riding of Mr. Nichols, was too far behind to make it a race for Trillion, and the latter won, pulling up, by ten lengths, there being fif- teen or twenty between the second and third horse. Time, 6:313 three fifths of a second behind the track record. Premier, at 2 to 1, won the third race, at a mile, a neck, from Septour, the even money favorite, Marshall, at 4 to 1, being a@ length and a half back. Time, 1:443-5. The fourth event was also at five furlongs, and Zanone, the 6 to 5 favorite, beat Wordsworth, at 30 and 40 to 1, by a head; Harrington, at 3 to 1, two lengths back. Time, 1:03. The fifth race was at a mile and a quarter, and Maurice, at 7 to 5, beat Volley, at 10 to 1, by a length and a half, he being three lengths in front of King- stone, at 5 tol. Time, 2:11 2-5. MUCH INTEREST EXCITED. Final Match in Singles for the Local Tennis C pionship. The final match for the lawn tennis cham- pionship of the District will be played off tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock upon the courts of the Bachelors’ Club. The game has several times been postponed, owing to an injury to Mr. Davidson’s arm. Mr. Driscoll rather than default kindly agreed to the postponement. The game has al- ready excited much interest in tennis cir- cles, and special interest is added owing to the fact that should Davidson win to- morrow’s match the cup will then become his permanent property. Mr. Driscoll ts of Georgetown University, and last year wen the intercollegiate championship of the District. At various times he has held the championship of the Pacific coast, and with Mr. John Goodfellow as partner won the championship of the District in doubles. Mr. Davidson's prowess with the racquet and at the net is well known. In all previous tournaments at the Bachelors’ Club he has proved himself invincible. His cleverness at the Newport tournament won for him much well-deserved praise. Foot Ball Notes. The Talbotts yesterday defated the Parks in foot ball by 10 to 4.

Oceans of New, Stylish, Reliable and Desirable Goods. Unap- proachable Values! During the panicky months preceding the national election, when CASH in large amounts was positively unobtainable, and merchandise went begging at 4oc. and 5oc. on the dollar, we went upon the market and purchased tremendous lots of Cloths, Cassimeres, Worsteds, &c., of the very best grades, AT OUR OWN PRICE, else we wowld not have invested our CASH. These goods were put into the hands of the tailors at once, and nearly : $100,000 Worth of them have already been completed and are now upon our counters. About as many more are to come, as they are in process of manufacture. This season, up to date, has been a most remarkable one, the extreme mildness of the weather creating no demand for winter clothing. Notwithstanding that we bought, comparatively for a song, expecting to sell cheaper than such goods were ever sold at before in the history of clothing selling, and yet realize a small profit on the invest- ment. But man proposes, &c. is too far advanced. And we find ourselves compelled not only to banish all thought of proft—BUT TO SACRIFICE A PART OF THE AC- TUAL COST in order to move this tremendous stock. To that end a few quotations follow, which you will FOR MEN. The weather is “agin” us. The season find somewhat startling: FOR BOYS. OVERCOATS—Neat gray mixture. $2.00 All wool.
