Bieyele Cla rganized by Court Clerk Dow: at Ocean Grove. Mr. N. Carroll Downs, clerk of Circuit Court No. 2, has just returned from a stay of several weeks at Ocean Grove, N. J. Last week there was a great bicycle pa- rade at Asbury Park, in which more than 700 riders participated. Mr. Downs is an enthusiastic wheelman, and he organized a club composed of fif- teen young women and men, who were stopping at the Albatross cottage. They eppeared as the Albatrcss Club, and Mr. Downs was elected captain. The members, of both sexes, were arrayed in white suits, and white tarleton albatross caps were perched on their heads. Their wheels were also trimmed in white. The club made such an excellent appearance that it was award- 4 first prize, each member being presented with a set of bicycle supplies. Captain Downs was preceded by Bugler Edwin Rittenhouse, the other members be- ing Misses Florence Griggs, Cook, Hyatt, Bond, Saville, Downs, Black, Shipley, Mrs. N Downs, Messrs. Chas. C.

Kane of the North Capitol and Eckington Citizens’ Association has gone to New York to inspect the air motors in op- eration there. Some time ago Mr. Kane was invited by Mr. E. A. Willard, president of the American Air Power Company, to come to New York and witness a trial of the motors. "He declined doing so, however, for the reason, he states, that as the law required a test of the metors to be made here and not in New York, to determine whether they were in all respects a proper and satisfactory motive power for this city, he could not see what was to be accom- plished by witnessing a trial of them there. A representative of the District govern- ment, however, having gone to New York to inspect their operation in that city, Mr. Kane stated that it would now seem as if their trial in New York was to cut some figure in determining whether or not their use was to be permitted here, and Mr. Wil- lard having renewed his invitation, he has gone over there to witness their operation and inspect the plant. —_.—_—_ Personally Conducted Tour via Penn- sylvania Railread to Cresson Spri Round-trip iickets good going on 10:50 a.m. train, August 28, and valid for return vaithin ten days. including one day’s board at Mountain House, $8.00. ° _—__—_— THE COURTS.

FOR GERMAN DAY. A Colored Woman Knocked From B. nd O. Tracks. The Emergency Hospital ambulance was summoned in great haste to the Baltimore and, Ohio depot shortly before 9 o'clock this morning. Word was sent to the hos- pital by telephone, in compliance with a telegraphic message received at the depot, explaining that a woman had been struck by a train near Ivy City, and directing that an ambulance be at the depot on the arrival of the train. The physicians pre- pared as best they could, in the brief time at command, between the call and the arrival of the train; to care for a badly maneled and perhaps dying person.

At the Emergency Hospital the physi- cians, after an, examination, found a frac- ture of one of the small bones of the wrist and several ebrasions of the skin. The broken bone received surgical attention, and, after. resting for an hour or more, the Woman, who gave her name as Martha Pinn, a servant, and her home as Ivy City, left the hospital. ‘To a Star reporter and to the physicians Martha declined to say anything whatso- ever regarding the incident, remarking that to get rid of her. This he denied. “Go cn home, Joe,” said Edwards, who was anxious to'change the subject. “But, Will,” said Carter, “ain't we still good friends?” At the time he asked this question he rested his hands on the shoulders of Ed- wards and stood there for a moment. “I'm cut,” he remarked almost imme- diately, and hig hand touched a blood stain on the left hide of his clothing, while Ed- wards walked quietly away. A few minutes later the patrol wagon arrived in the alley, and the wounded man was taken to the hospital. He had a pain- ful wound in his left side, and because of his condition he was put in one of the wards to be detained after the doctors had rendered surgical aid.

In addition to the entrance fees of the knights $75 will be added, the whole to be divided among the five leading knights. The tilt- ing is to begin promptly at noon, and from that time on the grounds will be filled with brave knights cantering here and there all over the place. Heralds and judges will be very much in evidence, too, and the whole scene will be a lively one in the ex- treme. After the contest a dress ball is to take place. Here is where the “fair ladies” of the knights will shine in all their spien- dom—the whole event making one of the most successful in the history of the sur- rounding country. At night, to make a fitting end to the day, a magnificent disp'ay of fireworks has been arranged for. In addition to the crowds that will go down from the city there will be any number of folks from the country about the Hall. In order that none may be disappointed in Steamer Saml. J.

The steaner was well filled and all with great expectations for the day's pleasure. On Thursday, and again Sunday, the run will be made. There are any number of things to make u pleas- ant day at the Point. Foremost among the attractions should be mentioned the fishing and crabbing. One cannot improve on these, no matter where on the river shore one goes. Then the salt water bathing is in itself a feature. The sail of four hours is a delightful one, cool breezes and brac- ing air giving one an appetite long before the Point is in sight. In the cafe on the boat excellent dinners are served, good hotel accommodation may be had on the grounds. There is everything at Chapel Point to contribute to an enjoyabie outing, and each time the run is made it is the merriest sort of a party that is entertained with the almost numberless ‘Will appreciate suchi@ table a’ hote as that served at Chévy hase Inn.
