Scott, jr., of Hagerstown, | Md., a member of the Maryland senate, writes to The Star in reference to the statement telegraphed to this paper from Baltimore last Tuesday, that he was known to be favorable to the election of Judge Mc- Comas to the United States Senate. Mr. Scott says no one has been authorized to speak for him in regard to this matter. He has never, he asserts, expressed himself on the subject. He says: “At the proper time I shall be called upon to act, and I hope to be able to do it with @ proper regard for the best interests of the people of the state and of the republi- can party, but certainly up to this time I have not expressed myself on the subject, and have given no intimation as to what I shall do.” ————-—___ Sinking of the Commodore. ‘The local inspectofs at Jacksonville, Fla., who investigated the sinking of the sus- pected filibustering steamer Commodore, 7 o * rs + 3 bal el ey . ¥ Take One » express the opinion that the sinking of the ° We want to emphasize one fact steamer was due to the complication of » Gen Rn pipes for freeing the vessel of water rot I ie. which is: That there are being fully understood by the engineer's de- ‘ ter at any price anywhere in partment.

ELECTION | Conditions of the New Two-Year- Old Stakes. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES John Nilsson, the champion of Canada, lowered another record at the Ice Palace last night. The distance was two miles, and the attempt was made precisely at 8 o'clock, when the ice was in splendid con- dition and everything favorable to the low- ering of the former mark. The record, as made by Joe Donoghue at the Ice Palace last year, was 5.32%, but Nilsson went the distance last night in 5.10%. It is true that he was paced for the last mile by the fast skater from New York, William Letts, but his performance was most wonderful for all that. For the first mile Nilsson made splendid time, spurting each time he struck the side of the track and turning the corn- ers in a beautiful manner. Just as he was beginning to give way a trifle to the strain he was taken by Letts, and so fast was the pace set that at one time Nilsson, was com- pelled to pass the latter, who waited for him on the next lap. ‘The second race of the evening took place at 9 o'clock, and was for one mile, between Nilsson and Lawson, the latter receiving one lap handicap, which amounted to one- tenth of a mile. At the seventh lap Niis- son had caught the Swede, and thea allow- ing the latter to set the pace, he walted until the last lap, when he forged ahead and won easily. The time was 2.37 4-5, one-fifth of a second better than Joe Don- oghue’s mile against time at the rink last year. After this race Nilsson gave his wonder- ful exhibition of fancy skating on his long racing skates and was received enthusias- tically. Nilsson objects to being called a Canadian, although he is the champion of that country, having beaten all the best Canadian skaters. He is a native of the United States, living at Minneapolis, and just before his exhibition last night was presented with an American flag by one of his admirers, which he tied around his waist. The first race this evening will be be- tween Nilsson and Letts, the champion of New York and New Jersey. The distance will be three miles, and Letts will be given three laps handicap. The second race will be between Letts and Lawson, for two miles, the Swede being given two laps handicap. After the races Nilsson will give his exhibition of fancy skating on rac- ing skates. Mr. Joseph Donoghue will not skate at the rink this week. He has positively stated this fact, all other reports to the contrary. PRESIDENT BROWN RE-ELECTED.

The Big Fight Goes to Mexico. The fight between Corbett and Fitzsim- mons ts to be held in Mexico. A personal message from Dan A. Stuart to his repre- sentative, Lou M. Houseman of St. Louis, yesterday, closed with. the words, “Prepare your friends for a trip to Mexico.” The fight will take place just over the Rio Grande, in either the state of Chihuahua or that of Coahuilla. Riley Grannan Disappointed. Riley Grannan was greatly disturbed when he read a telegram from New York showing that he had lost the suit which he instituted to prevent the Jockey Club at New York from ruling him off the turf. The young plunger, who can drop $20,000 on a race and still look pleasant, showed agitation and disappointment, as he confi- dently expected a different verdict. Gran- nan’s offense was the giving of $500 to Fred. Taral, the jockey, it being the rule of the Jockey Club that presents must not be given the ‘riders. He leaves the ques- tion of appeai to his attorney. The Jockey Club Election. At the annual meeting of the Jockey Club at New York yesterday these stewards were elected: Jas. Galway, F. R. Hitch- cock, Andrew Miller. The stewards elected these officers: Chairman, August Belmont; vice president, James R. Keene; secretary and treasurer, 8S. K. Sturgis. Bob Cook’s Advice to Harvard. A Cambridge, Mass., special to the Phila- delphia Inquirer says: Negotiations for a resumption of athletic relations with Yale are hanging fire. The trouble is over the boat race. Bob Cook wants Harvard to throw Cornell overboard entirely and race with Yale. Harvard refuses peremptorily to do any such thing. There is a proba- bility that honorable ‘Bob’ may dismount from his high horse and consent to waive Cornell and row a race “with Harvard at such an interval as will allow both crews to entirely recover frdm the effects of the contest. 5 ———_+ o+—___— Lecture on:Joan of Arc. * Mr. F.

Although informal and without cards a large au- dience braved the weather to enjoy the literary and musical program and the danc- ing which followed.

A cornet solo was followed by a selection given by the Rubenstein Quartet, composed of Misses Yewell, Clear, Wolfort and Mrs. Neale. ‘In the Dungeon Deep,” frem “Rob Roy,” sung by Mr. Arthur Earnest, was loudly applauded Recitation, “The Snorer,” by Mr. Maw peuet, was exceedingly humorous and re ceived ap cvation. A solo by Miss Blanche Yewell was warmly received, while “The Bugler,” which followed, by Professor Cloward, was a special feature of the evenin, The program then closed by “Dixie,” as played at the battle of Mur- phreesboro’, Tenn., the representation of the “rebel yell” being given by a num- ber of veterans with drums, artillery fire, &c., who were concealed in an adjoining ante-room. The floor was then cleared and dancing began and lasted till a late hour. The February entertainment to be given by the young men promises to be one of spe- cial attractions. ————— A Triple Ins: tion.

C. to break the records Stone Post, Potomac Post and Potomac Corps of the W. R. C to break the records by a joint public irstallation of their ofti- cers on Wednesday evening last at Cos- tello’s Hall, 610 G street. This triple in- stallation vas preliminary to the consoli- dation of Stone and Potomac posts, which is to take place immediately following the department encampment soon to be held. The officers of the two posts were in- stalled by Israel W. Stone, mustering ofti- cer, and those of Potomac Corps by Mrs. Anna M. Hamilton, past department presi- dent of the W. R. C. The hall was crowd- ed with members of the organizations and their friends, and the exercises of the evenirg were interspersed with vocal and instrumental music. Each of the newly installed pest commanders, and the presi- dent of Potemac Corps, Mrs. Hattie M. Robb, made an appropriate address and each was heartily applauded. The retiring president of Potomac Corps, Mrs. Cheshire, was presented by the ladies of the corps with a handsome gold badge of the order. Mrs. I. Worrell Ball of Potomac Corps gave a highly interesting account of fhe work of the joint committee representing patriotic organizations of ladies, of which she is chairman, in encouraging patriotic teaching in the public schools of the Dis- trict of Columbia, and in procuring flags:to. be hoisted upon the public school houses.
