HE. Twenty-Round Sparring Contest to a Draw. es COMBAT BETWEEN BROADSWORDSMEN Lasker and Steinitz Play Another Drawn Game. THE GOLF TOURNAMENT ‘There were two good sparring contests at -the Suburban Club House last evening, which were witnessed by a large and en- thusiastic gathering. The first was be- tween Arthur Jones and Alec Brown, two clever light weights. They came together like game cocks and made a rattling show for six rounds. Jones earned and received the decision. Although he punished Brown severely, he could not put him out. Brown fave one of the gamest exhibitions ever seen in this vicinity. He was knocked down five times In the last round, but managed to arise each time, and was on his feet at the end of the struggle. His pluck was rewarded by an extra contribution. The fight of the evening was between Pat Raedy, champion middle weight of the Di: trict. and Dick Moore of St. Paul, a pugil- ist with a national reputation. They put up a good, scientific bout of twenty rounds without material advantage to either, and the referee properly declared it a draw. Moore was heavier and stronger than Raedy, but the latter was in a much better condition. Both fought hard and clean, and it was difficult to say which did the.better work. Raedy received many congratula- tions for having stood off his more experi- enced adversary. He demonstrated that he is a much beiter man than he has been given credit for by his neighbors. TO FIGHT TO A FINISH. Exciting Contests Likely Betwee: Skillful Swordsmen. Duncar Ross believes that he is a better man with the broadsword than Corporal High of the 6th Cavalry, who recently de- feated him on points at Central Hall, and the two will meet again on horseback, this time on the turf at the Brightwood Driving Park, tomorrow afternoon at 2:30. Lieu- tenant Barber of her majesty’s Horse Body Guards, on foot, will encounter Sergeant Davie, mounted, the former armed with gun and bayonet and the latter with broad- sword. There will also be a mile bicycle rece for a handsome cup, open to all. All contests will be to a finish. The recent combats at Central Hall were really more of a display of horsemanship than broad- swordsmanship, although full credit should be given the cavalrymen for their victories. But the floor was so slippery that none of the combatants could do themselves justice. In these combats points count only on the armor; no cut on the head or arms counts, although it is fair to strike an opponent anywher above the lower part of the ar- mor; apy cut delivered below the armor is reckoned as a foul. Should both contest- ants strike at the same time, the referee must award the cut to the contestant who in his estimation has delivered the most dangerous cut. Both contestants must show fair and equal play. In order to prevent tedious delay, should either keep out of the reach of the other for more than two minutes, then the umpire draws four lines, each four feet apart, and on the command of “attack” each swords- man is required to bring iis horse inside the lines within thirty seconds of his op- penent, or forfeit a point. Should either contestant intentionally strike his opponent's horse, he forfeits a point, and fer a repetition, loses the con- test. He must, however, be warned for each offense. Two minutes are allowed to expire be- tween cach attack. Should a contestant be disabled he is allowed five rainutes to re- new the attack. All movements are made from the gallop, ard if either fails to gallop his horse a point is awarded against him. If the swordsman is unhorsed during an attack, he must be allowed to continue on foot until a point is decided; then he must re- mount and continue until contest is decided. ECKHARDT EXPLAINS. He Says That His Opponent Knew With Whom He Was Racing. According to the explanation made by W. L. Eckhardt, the wheelman who has been suspended by Racing Chairman Gideon, his offense is not so grave as has been report- ed. It was charged that while under sus- pension he entered @ race at Cumberland under an assumed name. It ts charged that he entered it as a novice, and as a resi- dent of Cumberland; that his friends and himself bet heavily on the race at good odds and won a great deal of money. He claims that he did not enter an open event under an assumed name as a ringer, but rode and won a match race from John Goldsworthy of Frostburg, first, as result of a general statement by Goldsworthy's friends that Goldsworthy could defeat any man in the state, ard, second, on account of a direct challenge from Goldsworthy's friends for a match. He says that Golds- worthy was told who his opponent was, and the Frostburg man still declared he could win and would race. The match, he says, was made without Eckhardt’s signing a paper of any kind. All he did was to ride a race while already under the ban of suspension and to alter the name to get the:chance to ride. This he admitted before Gideon debarred him from all racing until July 1. The Golf Tourney. The third day of the tourney of the Washington Golf Club yesterday witnessed scme brilliant playing, narrowing down the contest to two men, who will play the finals this afterncon for the championship. In the first game -yesterday of the sem- finals Lockett won frpm Prescott, with one hole up. In the secorid game between Wy- Me and McMillan, jr., the latter won easily, despite the fact that his opponent is con- sidered one of the best players in the club This narrows down the contest between Lockett and McMillan, who will play the finals on the links at Rosslyn, commencing this afternoon at 2 o'clock, the latter being scmewhat a favorite in the result. The trophy for this match is the President's cup. Drawings for the foursome match will be made today, and the contest. played.

Lasker i@ Steinits Agnin Draw.

The present score is: Lasker, 8; Steinitz, 2; drawn, 4. An Old-Time Base Ballist Gone. ‘The report comes from Boston that David Birdsall, a member of the famous Na- tionals of 1869, died .there yesterday. He was a prominent player in the early days of base ball, having played prior to com- ing here on the Harlems and the Unions of Morrisania. Afterward he played with Boston two seasons, and retired after the season of 1872. Ice Fatled and Game Of.. TORONTO, Ont., December 31.—The Yale and Princeton heckey teams were to have been here to play against a Toronto team tomorrow night and Saturday, but today Maj. Cosby wired them not to come, as there was no ice. The C. A. C. New Year. The members of the Columbia Athletic Club will hold a watch meeting at the club house tonight, commencing at 11 o'clock. An impr@mptu program will be presented and the New Year will be royally wel- ccmed. Chevy Chase Hunt. The Chevy Chase Hunt Club will give a hunt tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. The event was to have taken place yesterday, but the rain spciled the affair. Coming on New Year day, a larger attendance of mem- bers is expected than ordinarily. Yale Must Ask the Other Crews. Edward Savage of New Haven, who row- ed in the Cornell crew last summer when Cornell defeated Harvard at Poughkeepste, 1s home for the holidays. In ta!king about the boat race this year he sald: ‘Cornell will row Harvard; that is certain. She has no opposition to offer to Yale entering the race, or to entering any in which Cor- celi will compete, but Yale must ask if she wishes to enter the race on the Hudson. That is how all the colleges entered into the race feel, and if Yale enters this must be her method of procedure. Yale will not be invited.” The St. Louis Walk. ST. LOUIS, December 31.—The second day of the six-day heel-and-toe walking match at the Natatorium ended at mid- night with only nine of the original start- ers, Jones, Howley and Cahill having dropped out because of exhaustion. At midnight the score was as follows: Hart, 107 miles 14 laps: Hoagland, 105 miles 11 laps; 105 miles 6 laps; Stephens, 102 miles 6 laps; Guerrero, 97 miles 2 laps; Smith, 95 miles 1 lap; Earle, 5 miles; Schniehl, 90 miles 7 laps; Kenne- dy, 60 miles. —_——=_—_. AGAINST FREE LUMBER. Mr. Cleveland’s Former Partner Be- fore the Ways and Means Committee. President Cleveland's former law part- ner, Mr. C. F. Goodyear of Buffalo, ap- peared before the House committee on ways and means today. Mr. Goodyear is a democrat, ‘‘a Cleveland democrat,” as they say now. Notwithstanding this fact, how- ever, Mr. Goodyear made a strong argu- ment today agairst free trade, and espe- cially free trade in lumber. In his talk to- day Mr. Goodyear parted company with his distinguished political and former bus- iness colleague. The fact of the matter, as far as Mr. Goodyear is concerned, is that he is in a position to receive some practical object lessons of the operations of his former partner’s theory of free trade or low tariff. Mr. Goodyear is now the owner of some fourteen large lumber mills in western Pennsylvania, and Mr. Cleveland's tariff theory has been rubbed in on him pretty hard since the democratic tariff bill has allowed lumber to come in free of duty. In Mr. Goodyear’s case it is apparently one thing to be an ardent and enthusiastic supporter of Mr. Cleveland and his tariff theory in Buffalo and quite another to come into practical contact with the out- come of that theory in the markets of the country, where an American dealer runs up against the wily Canadian, who has cut his timber from the crown lands of Ci ada, witn the cheapest kind of labor, and brought it over the line to compete with the American product. Mr. Goodyear stated to the ways and means committee today that the lumber- men of this country have had enough of free trade to last them for a long time. He sald they had never paid much attention to the tariff question in the past, but they have recently received some lessons which will teach them to look out for their own interests in future tariff bills. He said the lumber business today is in a deplorable condition. There are failures right and left, and there is no money for any one in the trade. If a man should start into the lumber business today he would find that the cost to him of buying and cutting the timber would be 25 cents a thousand feet in excess of the price he would get for it, and even then there would be an additional loss to him of insurance, rent, commission, bad debts, etc. Mr. Goodyear insisted that the duty on lumber taken off by the democratic tariff bill should be restored to figures which would protect the American lumberman against the Canadian, with whom, under present conditions, it is impossible to com- pete. ———————_- e+ Had Diphtheria. “This woman states that she is suffering from diphtheria,” was the startling an- nouncement of Bailiff Kendig today in the Police Court, as Mary Reynolds advanced to the rail. ‘The remark was not ot all pleasing. The other prisoners in the dock placed as great a space as possible between themselves and Mary, and several spectators hurriedly passed through the doorway. Mary has undoubtedly seen better days. One eye is blackened and her lips are swol- len. She was charged with disorderly con- duct and her plea was the whispered re- mark to the bailiff that she was ill with diphtheria. By direction of Judge Kimball, a physi- clan from the health office was summoned, and efter conducting an examination, he reported to the court that the condition of the woman was at least suspicious. The case against her w: nolle prossed and she was removed to a hospital in an am- bulance: —__. Real Estate at Auction.
