That is proven by 3 the phenomenal response to our millinery announcements since the $ “opening.” $ As with other departments, we have sprung into leadership at 2. a single bound. We have clearly upset all the old notions—all the old methods—and completely revolutionized the business of millinery selling—just as we promised. Of course we've been criticised. Other stores have declared that we were ruining the millinery and ribbon business, but you like it, and so long as you do—so long as you respond so generously to our announcemegts you shall have the matchless values which arc brought about by a purchasing power unequaled by any. Lavish words of praise have been bestowed upon our millinery offerings by dozens of ladies after going the rounds of the city— and they’re not loath to tell us that ours is the handsomest and most reasonably priced of all.

IN SPORTING CIRCLES (Continued fre Eighth Page.) respect, although be yas as good as any man on the team with the bat. In "95 Brown figured in fhe Shugart deal, and went to St. Louis, being a high-priced player his-stay in St: Louis was very brief. In the latter part offthat season Earl Wag- ner, with his usual shrewdness, gobbled up Brown, and he has-been a regular player on the team ever since, and it is to be hoped that the years left to him in base ball will be spent in this city. As a base runner Brown ae classed with the best; he is in the : class as a fielder, and although not c! ‘d as a slugger he has always been hd&ering around the 300 mark. As a heady piayer he need not take the dust of any man wearing a National League uniform. As soon as President McKinley returns from his trip down the Potomac on the Dolphin, Messrs. Earl Wagner, President Young, Manager Schmelz and Secretary Robb "will wait on and tender him an elaborate invitation to the games at Na- tional Park the coming season. The invi- tion was gotten up by J. W. Swank, a local penman of reputation, and is so artistically done that it is a hard matter to tell the work from regular press print. President McKinley is known to be a lover of the national game, and for this reason the “President’s box” was bullt to the right of the press box, and whether ft is used or not will always be in readiness for the distinguished gentleman at the White House. From recent exhibitions of inde- pendence given by President McKinley it would not be surprising to see many an afternoon given up to the national sport, and with such a mascot it would be the case for the Senators to say, “How can we lose?” The season of 1897 takes the Washing- ton club out of the ranks of cheap clubs, or even medium priced clubs. Place the regular team in the field and Mr. Wagner says he is willing to wager a good round sum that but one club in the league—Bal- timore—has a higher priced set of men. When Mr. Wagner first came to the city he had a $40,000 salary list on his hands and lost money. The following season Manager Schmelz came to town and al- most an entire new team appeared at Na- tional Park, the salary list dropping down to $20,000. In 1894 the list went up to $25,- 000. In '9 it had reached $30,000, and in ‘96 it again went upward in the neighbor- hood of $37,000. As all the players at the close of last season were given a raise in salary it is not a hard guess to place the sum total for this season. Mr. Wagner has always gone on the plan that it is better to pay a man what he wants and get good returns from him, than to have him dis- contented and do poor work. Whenever a player is dissatisfied with Mr. Wagner all he has to do is to let the magnate know the fact, and he will have little trouble getting away from the club. When Charley Farrell came here from New York he was bubbling over with indignation at the treatment accorded him by President Fréedman, and what a happy boy he was to be once more buck among the Sena- tors. Mr. Wagner handed him the contract to read, but all Charley asked for was pen and ink, and ‘nside a minute his name went down on the document. Farrell was cau- tioned about reading the contract, but all he said was. “You know what I want and I know whzt you want, so that settles it,” and it is « cinch guess that the popular catcher gct all he wanted. This incident illustrates the difference between the mag- nates in handling the players under them. Earl Wagner and AV Mau have had sev- eral confidential thkt- since the smiling pitcher has come to,tawn, but no contract has been signed as stet’and the chances are none will be until ttié Ié#gue season is about six weeks or two months advanced. Maul does not like the contract offered him, and as Mr. Wagner trysied him for. two sea- Sons he believes thie iffust. should be ex. tended to three, as*hé{believes he can pitch as good ball as ever, and will thus return the kindness shown him. If Maul goes back in his work he can easily be laid off without pay, :gnd undef theseconditions no doubt a contract similar to the one signed by the gther playais wil be tendered him after the season jag opened. and he. has demonstrated that dhe i still able to pitch good ball. EGE B&SE BALL, COLL Georgetown to Meet the Strong La- fayette Team Today. Georgetown will mest her first strong college team today in the Lafayette nine. The game will take place on Georgetown field at 4 o'clock, and will, in all proba- bility, not only be witnessed by a large number of the students, but many out- siders, on account of the great popularity of the wearers of the blue and gray in base hall circles. Georgetown will by no means have an easy time of it. Lafayette has defeated the Catholic University, the University of Virginia und other strong teams, and yes- terday defeated the Charlottes at Char- lotte, N. C., in the finest game of bull seen there this season. The game will al- low a line to be gained in the relative strength of Georgetown and Virginia and Georgetown and the <University of North Carolina, which defeated Lafayette twice, as well as settle the question between La- fayettc and the blue and gray. Lafayette will present the same team that has taken part in ull the games of her southern trip. It s not only a hard- hitting team, but is fast on the bases and extremely quick in the field, and will give Georgetown the strongest argument she has had so far this season. Georgetown will play her regular team with the ex- ception of Dawsen at first, whose place will be taken by Smith. Dawson has not yet recovered from the effects of the ter- rible blow received on his head in M day’s game. Maloney’s injured finger 1s doing nicely, and he will act as the re- ceiver for Walsh’s curves. McCarthy has recovered and will occupy his usual posi- tion in left field. The following will probably be the batting erder of the teams in today’s game: Lafayette. Reese.. Columbian University and the Catholic University will meet today. The latter team has shown a decided improvement, both in the field and at the bat, and is now putting up a fast, spirited game. Columbian has not done much this sea- son, but it has fine material for a team and should, with practice, make a team strong enough to give a tough argument to either the Catholic University or George- town. The outcome of the game this after- noon will be watched with interest. The Gallaudet teams: Mt. St. Mary’s College at Emmittesurg, Md., today. Lafayette defeatéd ¢harlotte at Char- lotte, N.

The University of; Vermont will play the University of Pennsylvania today, and the game will show the ive strength of Georgetown and Pannsylvania. The blue and gray defeated the Vermonters by 22 to 5. Pennsylvania’s southern trip begins April 12, and the team will play George- town in Washington, May 8. Yale will meet tde New York profession- al team today. The defeat of Yale by Wesleyan was a blessing in disguise rather than a misfortune, and the Yale players have come to the conelusion to inaugurate a much better system cf practice and training. To all appearances Yale has a team this season above the average, and the defeat by Wesleyan has spurred the players on to a wonderful desree. Yale will play Georgetown in this city next Thursday. “BOWLIN The District Amateur Bowling held a meeting Thursday evening at Washington Saengerbund Club and award- ed first prize, a gold medal, donated by Mr. 8.

The Washington Golf Club cup for 1897 and the consolation cup offered for players who failed to secure a chance to enter the match for the emblem first named were won by representatives of organizations outside of Washington, the first going to Mr. J. W. Biddle of the Philadelphia Coun- try Club ard the other to Mr. George Cabot of the Brookline Golf Club of Bos- ton. The finals in both events were played yesterday. Mr. Biddle had for his op- ponent Mr. A. J. Parsons, vice president of the Washington club. The match was a very close one, and was watched by a large crowd. Mr. Biddle won by the very Scant margin of two up. In the final for the consolation cup Mr. Cabot was matched against Mr. George Hellen of the Washington club. Mr. Cabot won by seven holes. There was a large gathering at the links today, where the medal play handicap for @ handsome cup is in progress. There will also be various contests in putting, and so forth, this afternoon. INTERSCOLASTIC VISITORS AMES. Will Meet Local High School Students Eugene Bradley Wilson has written to Harry 8. Byrne, president of the Baltimore City College General Athletic Association, in regard to a joint meeting in athletics between the Baltimore and Washington schools. Mr. Wilson in his letter states that the 56-pound-shot and discus events are not desirable, but will be inserted if requested. This meeting was first agi- tated by the Washington athletes several months ago. The high schools of Philadel- phia and Wilmington, the Episcopal High School of Alexandria, Va., and other col- leges and high schools will be invited to take part in the meeting, which is to be- come an annual event, to be held in the various cities in turn. ‘The Baltimore City College will accept the invitation. It will hold its field day before the Washington meet, and the school’s representatives will be chosen from the victors in its own games. BOB FITZSIMMONS. Interest Attaching to His Appearance Here Monday Night. There is a great deal of interest attach- ing to the appearance of Bob Fitzsimmons in this city Monday night. He was at the time of his fight with Corbett the center of attraction all over the United States and in many parts of the world, and in that fight he developed characteristics which are calculated to make him ever a sreater object of interest now than he was at that time. His dogged determination to take whatever punishment might be meted out to him by his opponent in the hope of catching that cpponent at an unwary mo- ment, his generalship and the terrific biow which brought him fame ani money and elevated him to the very“top of the pugi- listic ladder, have all conibined to stir up an intense interest in the chanpion, in his movements and in his future, and his friends, augmented by the curious-minded, may be counted upon as showing to what an extent this interest has arisea in their attendance at his reception Monday night. The show in which Fitzsimmons will ap- pear and in which he will be supporied by a high-class vaudeville company, will be held at Central Hall, over the wth street market, ‘on account of its immense size. Tickets have not only been placed on sale in Washington, but all over the states of Maryland and’ Virginia, and an immense crowd 1s confidently looked for by the pro- Jectors of this affair. Fitzsimmons, of course, will be the central figure in what- ever show is put on. He will give an ath- letic exhibition, assisted by his heavy- weight trainers, Hickey, Stelzner and Roeber, and will, no doubt, fulfill all ex- pectations that are raised by the announce- ment of his coming here. The vaudeville features which will sur- round the champion will be of an extreme- ly high class, and will be fully in keeping with the central figure. The list of feat- ures includes some of the hest known teams on the eastern vaudeville stage, who will put up a show worthy of patronage, away from the fact that It accompanies the champion pugilist of the world. WHIST. The coming woman's whist congress, which will be held in Philadelyhia April 27, 28 and 2), is the absorving theme among local whisters. The ladies are enthusiastic over the prospects of a successful event. From all over the country come reports of delegates who propose to attend. En- tries have already been receive from thirty clubs. Toledo will send its celebrated team of four ladies, a team which has never Leen beaten, even by the men. There will be two or. three teams from Boston, and Maine will also have representatives, From this city will probably go three teams, ail members of the Cranfcrd Club. Only one of these teams has been definitely decided en, and that one is Mrs. Hawiley’s team, composed of Madanic de Sibour, Mrs. Mc- Crea and Mrs. Earle, besides in2rself. This team is the present holder of the woman's whist trophy, having won it at Philadel- phia from Mrs. Andrews’ team last week. There are four teams practicing at the Cranford Club for the congress, though but three teams expect to go to Phila- delphia, The congress promises to be successful. There 1s a large whist contingent among the ladies of Philadelphia. They will bear all the expenses of the congress, for which the Hotel Walton has heen enzaged. Re- duced railroad rates have 2Iso been se- cured. Suitable prizes will be awarded to the winners in the various events. As has been stated in The Star, the !adies of Washington propose to offer a handsome prize, to be played for at the congress. Mrs. J. W. Hawley is receiving subscrip- tions for this purpose, and invites all iecal whist lovers to assist in the purchase of the trophy. It is the desire :o present a trophy which will be as much sought after, and, if possible, as handsome, as the $90) Hamilton trophy, which represents the Sone of the Amercan Wohist azue. It is reported that President W. H. Bar- ney of the A. W, L. will attend, as well as Mrs. Krebs of San Fra and the president of the Women's Whist Club of Denver.

It occurred in the following hand: \ West. «3 K.9.10.9.8.3.2, D.. v732 AKS.65. 10. 4 8... G55. Ase 7.4. 10.8.6. H. AQ75. 1032 . 59.864. K East dealt and turned the six of dia- monds. South had the lead. At several of the tables south led four of spades, which east took with the ace, and led a small trump. This was won by west, and the trump returned, east passing. West then led a small club, which east won with the ace. Here is where the players left the right road: Had east now “raked” the other two trumps and led a small club, east and west would have captured the re- main tricks. Should south be a short suiter and lead the club six, a “slam” is not probable, but is possible. It can be made by west the trick, and allowing east to take with the ace. A low trump follows, which is taken by south and returned, east passing it. Then should a spade be led by west it enable east to take with the ace, | “rake” the trumps, “put in” west by lead- © the club seven, and make the remaining tricks as before. The lead of the spade is improbable, however, under the circum- stances. No match was played this week for the whist trophy, now held by Mrs. team. Mrs. Newbold’s team was expected here from Philadelphia, but did not come. Next week being holy week, no match will be played, and none will proba- bly be played till after the Philadelphia congress.
