PLANS FOR THE COMING BOAT RACES Interesting Field and Track Events of the C. A. C. SPURT OF THE SENATORS CAMBRIDGE, England, June 14.—The gentlemen of Philadelphia began a cricket match here today with an eleven repre- senting Cambridge University. The visi- tors won the toss and went to the bat. Their first wicket went down for 18 runs, and when two wickets were down they had scored 35 runs. The visitors had 62 runs when their fifth wicket went down. Captain Patterson was the first man out, being caught for a duck’s egg. Lester was also caught, but he had placed twenty tuns to his credit before he went out. The third man out’ of the Philadelphia team, Coates, was also caught, and went to the pavition without having scored a run. Ralston shared his fate and his, score. Bohlen was bowled for seven runs, and Thayer was caught when his score was also seven. Cregar was bowled for a duck’s 'gg, and Baily shared his fate before he could score a run. When the ninth wicket of the Americans went down they had scored 93 runs. The Philadelphia cricketers were all out in their first Innings for 149 runs.

The Senators Won the First of the Series From Pittsburg. The resurrected «Senators continued their winning streak Saturday by taking the Pittsburg representatives into camp after a close and very interesting game, by the Score of 4 to 2. The attendance was the largest of the week, in fact, the largest since the club's return from its western trip. Mercer pitched for the home club, and while he hit no less than four men, two in one inning, he struck out seven and had the visitors at his mercy throughout the contest, Smith and Padden dividirg three-fourths of the eight hits between them. Not a run was earned by the Pirates, their first run being obtained through Smith's single, Padden’s wound- ing, and a slowly returned thrown bail to the plate by De Montreviile. Their other run was the result of the “Flying Dutch- man’s” muff of Sugden's easy fiy, a hit and a safe bunt. Three of the home team’s four runs were earned, despite the fact that Killen pitched magnificenily, In the second inning, after two were gone, Wrigley hit safely to right, took third on Abbey's double to left, both scor- ing on O'Brien's double between center and right. In the next inning, with one out, Selbach placed a three-bagger in left field, scoring on De Montrevilie’s single between third and short. “Gene” was thrown out in attempting to steal second, and McGuire, after knocking one to the center field fence, was thrown out at the plate when he at- tempted to make it a homer. Selbach was given a pass in the eighth, and came all the way home on De Montreville’s double down the third base line. Selbach’s muff and a bad throw to first by Mercer were the only errors of the Senators, ihe other side putting up a perfect game. Best Hitters and Flelders. According to the records of the league, compiled up to June 10, the best fielding nine would be: Hill, Louisville, pitcher; Ganzel, Boston, catcher; Tebeau, Cleve- land, first base; McPhee, Cincinnad, sec- ond base; Clingman, Louisville, third base; Ritchey, Cincinnati, short stop; Selbach, Washington, left field; Blake, Cleveland, center field; Keeler, Baltimore, right tield. The best batting team would be: Robin- son, Baltimore, catcher; Mercer, Washing- ton, pitcher; La Jole, Philadelphia, first base; Reitz, Baltimore, second base; Wal- lace, Cleveland, third base; Long, Boston, short stop; Kelley, Baltimore, left field; Stenzel, Baltimore, center field, and Keeler, Baltimore, right field. The batting average of the nine would be .278. Other games resulted as follows: Louisville, 6. cinnati, 1. Cleveland, 0. New York, 9; St. Louis, 2. Chicago, Brooklya, 5. Saturduy’s College Games.

He gave slip and disappeared, henze his Donnelly is a great ball player when in condition and a good-hearted, popular fel- low with a host of friends, who will be much grieved at his misfortune. The magnanimity and impartiality of Bal- timore crowds was strikingly illustrated Saturday, Umpire McDonald made a mis- take against Loutsville in the sixth inning, Soubtless through not observing closely. Fred Clarke hit to Doyle and there was a lively race for the bag. Clarke won by < fraction of a second, but McDonald cz him out. The crowd Shouted “Not out hissed the umpire. The hissing was unjust, but it showed unmistakabiy that Baltimore spectators want fair play, even in prefer- ence to a victory won by partiality. In most cities the crowds howl with delight when the umpire favors the home club.— Baltimore Sun. WILL ROW DOWN STREAM. Time Fixed for the Yale-Harvard- Cornell Race. Poughkeepsie on the Hudson is just be- ginning to wake up to the fact that it is to be the scene next week of one of the greatest boat races that has ever been rowed, Until the three crews are together in the same river {it will be impossible to compare their merits, and that will not be until next week. Cornell arrives at her quarters Thursday, and the Yale crew is to be brought around from New London on a yacht next Sunday. The Harvard crew meanwhile has been getting in some good practice, and has twice gone over the course on time. The time made was in each case much faster than that of ordinary rows at New Lon- don, but the stronger tide at Poughkeepsie must be taken into consideration. The crew will row practically according to Lehmann’s idea of the English stroke. He feels that there will be a few rough places to smooth over before the crew has attained that precision and regularity that characterizes English crews, but that two weeks more of his constant attention will accomplish everything that could be de- sired. Mr. Van Duzer of Harvard and the man- agers of the Cornell and Yale crews met Saturday at Poughkeepsie, and in confer- ence with Capt. Goodrich of Harvard, de- cided to have the race rowed down stream June 25, at 3:30 o'clock p.m. Mr. Meikel- ham, Columbia, '8é, was selected as being the most satisfactory referee to all parties.

Henry Smith Wheeled the Distance in Two Hours a Three Minutes. Henry Smith of Baltimore yesterday rode from the foot of the Capitol steps, east trent, to Gwynn’s Falls bridge, the edge of Baltimore city, in two hours, three minutes and sixteen and a half seconds. The dis- tance is about forty miles. The previous record was made by Harry Parks of Wash- ington. His time was two hours and thirty minutes. The Baltimore Sun says of the run: Smith thad favorable weather throughout the route. He left the Capitol steps at 7 a.m. and cleared Washington city at 7.05.21. His timers at the start were Rudolph, Jose and Tubman. George Smith and Gensler paced tim to Hyattsvilie, about six miles. At this point the roads began to be very bad and Smith took the ride roads. A. C. Moran and Dodge, who were to have paced him to Ronzavillc, found it impossible to do this work, owing to the bad and nar- row paths that had to be traversed, so they rede behind him in order to render aid in case of accident. Laure! was reached by the record-break- er at 8:05. He was there timed by Charles B. Baike, James R. Dunlop and W. C. Moz- ner. He was unpaced from Laurel to Elkridge. At Elkridge he was met by Samuel M. Warns, who »aced him to the finish. Just befcre reaching Gwynn's Falis Warns’ pedal struck a yellow cur dog. The dog was knocked down and Smith rode over it. For- tunately neither rider was thrown. Smith reached Gwynn’s Falls at 9.08.1 The timers at this point, the finish, were T. H. Van Order and F. Howard Harvey. Smith continued through Baltimore to the city hall, reaching it at 9.14.25%. All the timers and pacemakers south of Laurel were members of the Washington Road Club and My. Smith said they were very kind to him. He further stated that the roads from Washington to Baltimor: are very hard ones io ride over, being v sandy. He was forced to use side paths nearly the entire way. A Run to Baltimore. ‘Twelve members of the Chain and Sprock- et Cycle Club of this city, under Wm. Berg- man, captain; W. J. Enon, first lieutenant, and Berry Huinant, second lieutenant, rode to Baltimore yesterday by way of the Ash- ten-and Ellicott City road, which they found 1a good ccndition. The time was three hours for the 45.40 miles. The club returned by the Baltimore and Potomac railroad.

Of Interest to Recruits. An arnouncement of importance to guardsmen and others is one to the effect that hereafier all candidates for enlistment in the brigade must pass a physical exam- ination. This has not been required here- tofore, and the omission was the direct cause of the presence of scores of men who were totally unfit to perform military duty. Now that the brigade has been reorganize the physical examination is not only a po: sibility; it is practically a necessity. Maj. Henderson states that the very small pe! centage of sickness of the present camp ts due to the absence of nearly all the enaem’ members of the guard in attendance at the last camp, but who have since been dis- charged from the service. Lieutenant Colonel Urell of the 2d Regi- ment was field officer of the day yester- day. Major Richard A. O’Brien of the 2d Battalion is acting in that capacity to- day. The field officer of the day is execu- tive officer of the camp. The war correspondents in camp have met in convention and adopted a schedule of sleeping hours. They retire at reveilie, 5:45 a.m., and arise at megs call for break- fast, 7 a.m. Major George H. Harries, inspector gen- eral of rifle practice, finding that he is not overworked in his military specialty, has turned his attention to astronomy. ’ Pat- terning after a familiar individual who haunts a down town street corner in Wash- ington, Major Harries last evening oper- ated the National Guard rifle range tele- scope in Headquarters street, and did a prosperous business. Major Harries gave every one in the neighborhood a view of the sky and all that in it is, while Major Henderson lectured learnedly on the moon, stars, satellites and other such heavenly bodies. > During the absence of Major George Hen- derson in Washington yesterday, First Lieutenant B. G. Poole of the 4th Battalion was acting surgeon general of the District militia. First Lieutenant Charles R. Luce of the 1st Battalion was medical ofticer of the day yesterday. Major Henderson ex- presses himself as very much pleased with the way his medical officers have perform- ed their duties. Without their knowledge he has followed them around and observed their every action. Thunder at Daylight. “How do they expect a man to sleep wken that durned drum corps starts to raising thunder at daybreak every morn- ing?” was the remark of a party residing on headquarters row, whose name could but will not be mentioned. He referred to the playing of the corps of field music, which is intended to thoroughly arouse the camp for the work of the day. Private Joe Kondrup, he of the generous avoirdupois, who, with Tommy Hall, dces the comic part fcr the National Fencibles, was the orderly at headquarters yesterday, having been selected by reason of his be- ing the neatest man present at guard mount. His experiences while on such duty, as Joe relates them, will entertain the Fencibles for some time to come. Major George Henderson, the able sur- geon general of the brigade, has a pet cricket, which reports for duty promptly at taps each evening. The duty of the cricket is to post itself on Major Hender- son’s bed and lull the officer to sleep. Until the present outing Major Henderson, who is somewhat hard cf hearing, has not heard the cry of the cricket for twenty years. He rewards the little creature for its vocal efforts with a meal of cheese, which seems to be highly appreciated. “The rain has come through the tent and wet the table sloth,” said a waiter at the ‘headquarters mess, rushing up to a brigade staff sergeant in great excitement, during the downpour yesterday. ‘he rain is for officers as well as for enlisted men,” was the unconcerned reply of the sergeant. “They ought to be able to stand it.” And now they refer to Trumpeter Fried- man, one of the most acoomplished musi- cians in the service and a thorough sol- dier, as “that man with horns on his sleeves,” referring to the chevrons worn by the sergeant. Exterior Guard Posts. It may be important to those interested in the work of the guardsmen to know something of the daily routine of duty. Instructions have been prepared for sen- tinels, with a good deal of care, and after considerable hard work on the part of Capt. Slocum of the 7th U. 8. Cavalry, who is on duty et the camp as instructor. cor nt: stated that, as’ Ne looks orrespondent as at it, the guardsmen are in camp solely for business. He will. allow them until Sun- day to perfect themselves in the instruc- tions laid down, and if every one is not proficient by that time trouble is very like- ly_to follow. ‘The exterior guard consists of five posts | and a river patrol. The strength of Post | No. 1 and the river patrol is one sergeant | and six privates. One sentinel is posted on shore in the immediate vicinity of the guard tent. His duties are to prevent all persons and contraband articles from com- | ing into or leaving the military reserva- | tion. To this end he is supposed to keep vigilant watch toward the shore opposite and the waters between, requiring all per- sons who may desire to land on, or who | may desire to leave the reservation, to do so from the regular steamboat wharf, notifying the non-commissioned officer of the guard of all such cases. The river patrol, in a boat, traverses the water of the river between the reserva- tion shore and the shore opposite, moving to about a distance on the water, opposite points on shore, of at least 150 yards above and 150 yards below the guard tent. He so regulates kis movements, or is supposed to so regulate them, that he will be able, by being vigilant, to know whether or not per- sons are attempting to land on or leave the reservation, or is attempting to bring thereto any contraband articles. These or- ders do not forbid men from gcing in swim- ming between reveille and retreat. Keepn Out the Intruders. Post No. 2 extends from the shore end of the engineer wharf to the end of the Pier. The duties of the sentinels are the same as those laid down for the shore sentinels of Post No. 1. In addition there- to, the sentinel is instructed to prevent un- authorized persons from going into, on or about any military work or works, con- structed er under construction, in his im- mediate vicinity. He is directed In every case where he may be in doubt to at once call the non-commissioned officer of the suard and report the situation to him. Post No. 3 is located in Fort Washington. The sentinel has direction to permit no one to come inside the fort except those employed in or about the camp and per- sons connected with the fort. After re- treat it is 2 part of his duty to look out for animals which may become stalled or Bet loose; in either case he will awaken eB, stablemen and inform them of te act. Post No. 4 ts at the steamboat wharf. All persons belonging to or connected with the District National Guard are required to leave and arrive at this wharf. The sentinel on the post is there to prevent the landing at the wharf, or the vicinity, of any small craft unless the occupants there- of Rave proper authority, ‘which fact they must establish. The sentinel is instructed to at once call the non-commissioned officer of the guard and make investigation of all questions of which*he may be in doubt. Order on the Wharf. The sentinel is expected at all times to preserve order on the wharf, calling the non-commissioned officer, who, it is pro- vided, will bring additional men when any disorder occurs. Should any steamer land having on board an unusual number of visitors, the ron-commiss!oned officer is di- rected to post during the landing an addi- tional sentinel, who will again be posted when these visitors embark to assist in preserving order. This sentinel will do all in his power, exercising thorough discretion, to also prevent the introduction into camp of contraband articles. Post No. 5 is located at what is known as Battery C. The sentinel is there to pre- vent any trespassing, interfering, or ex- amination of the battery. No one, except- ing these in authority and those connected with the work, is allowed to get nearer to the battery than where the sentinel 1s | posted. The non-commissioned officer, if he performs his duty properly, patrols to the powder magazine at least every hour, removing from its vicinity all persons who have no authority to visit the magazine. The sentinel is taken off this p p.m., and the entire relief is mv the parade ground and there a less orders to the contrary are given. Provost G The provost guard is also operating un- der special orders, prepared by Captain Slocum. It consists of three posts | Post No. 1 is at the guard tent, the sentt- nel patrolling on the patch parallel to the main road, the extreme limits of which are 100 yards apart. Post No. 2 is on the main road, in the rear of Battery B. The post extends along | this road from a point opposite the nerth | of the battery to a point opposite the north end of the commissary building. The ad- ditional duties of this sentinel are to pre- vent all unauthorized persons visiting, in- terfering with or trespassing in, upon or about the battery, known as*Battery B, and to exercise special care over the lum- ber piles, guarding against fire at night.
