I., August 24.—There was little prospect that any tennis matches would be played at the Casino today, owing to a heavy northeast rain storm deluging the courts. Although the uncertain weatht er may change, the courts will be too slip- pery for any play without half a dozen hours’ sunshine. The matches between the two English- men, Nisbet and Eaves, in the national tournament finals must wait for better conditions. There is a possibility that the winner may offer to play the championship match with Wrenn after the final is finish- ed tomorrow, if it is fair weather. The committee will rot make any such request, but as both Nisbet and Faves nave fre- quently played two important matches in one day, and as they are both anxious to returm home, such an offer frum either Would not be surprising. There seems to be little anxiety felt for the safety of the championship trophy. Wrenn is in the very best condition, and as he has been playing in very nearly his top form, there seems to be almost abso- lute confidence in his ability to prevent either of the Englishmen from carrying it away. Crack Sprinters From the West. Eleven athletes, headed by the great sprinter Maybury, who will represent the Chicago Athletic Association next Satur- day in the A. A. U. championships, arrived at New York last night. They will be the guests of the New York Athletic Club, and wilt put the finishing touches on their training at Travers Island. Besides May- bury the athletes from the windy city are Jackson, Penneman, Holmes, Stone, Klun- der, Petter, Rush, Kraenzlein, Richards and Townsend. Little Doubt oc ‘Will Be Coached by Butterworth. A number of the Yale foot ball team have engaged quartcrs at Chevy Chase Inn, and will be coached in kicking and catching by Frank Butterworth, Yale’s well-known full back. The big grounds wround the inn and its high altitude make it an es- pecially desirabie spot for training. Changes in Bicycle Committee. CHICAGO, August 24.—Chairman W. D.

Two games were played at Brooklyn yes- terday, the Bridegrooms having for their opponents the Pittsburg Pirates. The home club took both games. The first was easy, the score being 12 to 6, while the second was a pitchers’ battle, the score being 1 to 0. In the first contest Hawley was hit at will, while Payne kept the hits scattered. In the second game but three hits were made by each club, Keanedy and Hughey being extremely hard propositions. Umpire Hurst was hit in the temple by a foul tip and knocked senseless, but recovered in a few moments and pluckily resumed the game.

Theodore Brettenstein, Cincinnati's great left-hander, has the following t> say of the pennant race: “We have as good a chance for second as anybody else. I don’t think that Boston will figure in the wina- up. To me it looks like Baltimore to win, with New York and Cincinnati fighting it out tor second place. Of the recent Cincinnati game in Cum- berland Ren Mulford writes: “An amusing feature of that runaway game was that the Reds crossed the plate too rapidly for local scorers to keep correct account, and they gave out two fewer runs than were actually scored. In one inning Vaughn, who had been forced out, lingered between the bases, and kept the Marylanders dodg- ing around until their tongues hung cut running him down, Talking about the effectiveness of tke Giants’ pitchers on their own grounds, Morgan Murphy, the hustling little catcher of the Browns, said last night: en we play in New York I am going to take a tape line out with me and measure the dis- tance between the plate and the pitcher's slab. I am willing to bet that slab is not the regulation sixty feet from ithe home plate. I have sized up the distance every time we have been in New York, and the more I look at it the more I am convinced that the pitching distance on the poio grounds is between three and four feet short. What an advantage that would be tor pitchers like Rusie, Meekin and Sey- mour, who are effective simply because they have terrific speed, while the mafority of the other pitchers in the league do not rely entirely upon their speed. I may be wrong, but I’m going to measure: that dis- tance. What if I should discover that the pitching distance is short? Why, nothing at all, I guess, only every game that ‘he Giants have played on those grounds this season would be thrown out, and then where would they be?—Philad=!phia Press. At Lancaster, Pa., yesterday it is said that in the absence of a regular umpire, Manager Frank Rinn officiated and gave general satisfaction, not one of his decisions being questioned. Hanlon’s Denial. Manager Hanlon of the Baltimores last night said positively that he had no idea of managing the Philadelphia club next year. He said he had been occasionally sounded in a diplomatic way as to whether he would take charge of the Philadelphias by per- sons not directly connected with the owner- ship, but no direct offer or negotiations had ever been hinted at by Reach or Rogers. Mr. Hanlon further said that they would have to bid pretty high to induce him to leave Baltimore, where he has a valuable interest in the club, and his relations with Von Der Horst are pleasant. So far as the season of 1898 is concerned, he is a fixture in Baltimore. NISBET DEFEATED LARNED. Biggest Surprise of the Tournament. The biggest surprise of the tennis tour- nament, and, in fact, of the whole tennis Season, was the defeat yesterday at New- port of William A. Larned, the acknowl- edged leader of the game in this country, by Hugh A. Nisbet of England in the semi- final round of the all-comers’ tournament for the national championship. With the match wel in hand, by two sets to love, with the score five games to four in his favor in the third set, Larned was twice within one point necessary for the match. In both cases he drove into the net, and at last Nisbet took the necessary game to make it five all. Again in this set Larned was within two points of winning the match, but could not quite reach it. Such exasperating playing was only a repetition of the exhibition which he gave last year in his match with Bob Wrenn, and it is this very uncertainty that makes his game an agonizing one to witness. The weather conditions were distinctly English, for a misty northeaster blew over the courts previous to the match, and made the turf slippery and uncertain. Both play- ers fell, and Larned lost the deciding point in the fourth set by sliding on the grade. ‘The sky was dull and gray throughout. Before two sets had been played Dr. Eaves had on another court defeated Leo Ware of Boston, thereby slipping into the final round of the tournament. Summary: First set—Nisbet, total, 27; games, 3.

Jockey Clutter Killed. at FIGHT OF” FACTIONS The Maryland Republican Convention Promises to Be Interesting, CONTESTING DELEGATIONS ELECTED The Prince George's County Situ- ation Very Much Mixed. VIEWS OF THE STRIFE There are indications that the Maryland republican state convention, to be held at Ocean City Thursday, will be a lively one, at least so far as the representation from Prince George’s county is concerned. The Mudd and Coffin factions there are bitterly opposed to one another, and a double dele- gation will go to the seashore convention. What the outcome of this will be cannot be determined now, although, the Mudd constituents assert that the convention can do nothing but recognize that delegation, claiming that it was the only one elected fairly in the primaries, and that although other primaries were held in every district of the county the same date as the “regu- lar” ones, they were not authorized by the state central committee, and, therefore, it will be impossible for the convention to ad- mit the delegates thus chosen. The Coffin People say the so-called regular primaries were anything but regular, and that, if the convention acts fairly and _ impartially, rather than admit the Mudd delegates, both sides will be thrown out, and a com- promise of some kind effected. The order- ing of new primaries has beew suggested as absolutely essential ualess the county is to be surrendercd in advance to the demo- crats. The adherents of Mr. Coffin in the county declare that the manner in which the call for the primaries was made and the way meetings were conducted was not only ir- regular in the extreme, such proceedings as were had never having been witnessed before, but were directly opposed to the constitution of the state. They claim that the voters were not allowed to exercise the right of sufirage and that they were not Permitted to have a say in the matter. Work of Mr. Mudd. The hand of Representative Sidney E. Mudd, they state, was evident through the whole thing, and that he worked as he did in Prince George's for the sole purpose of gaining delegates in the legislature who would vote for him for United States sena- tor at the next assembly. While the Mudd people admit that the call for the primaries held in Prinze George’s July 31 was not exactly according to customs, they contend that it was not unconstitutional or irregular. Such a course was adopted, they say, simply to prevent a recurence of the scenes and incidents which took place in the county when the primar- ies were held the year before. The republicans of the county who com- plain that the primaries of July 31 were not only irregular, but an evidence of high- handed oppressfon on the part of che state central committ#e, under the direction of Mr. Mudd, base their assertion on the fact that never befoge did a person appointed by a@ committee witve'entire control of tae primary in each district. In the recent prelfminaries the state ccn- tral committee for Prince George's county was composed of H. W. Clagett, J..A. Blun- don, Clarence Hawkins and Samuel R. Jen- nings. " The Objectionable Clause. The instructions published on the call for the primaries in the various districts ended as follows: “The followirg persons are hereby ap- pointed to call to order the primaries in the various districts, and are authorized and empowered to name three judges and two clerks ef election in the several dis- tricts and to preside Ss the organization of said meeting.” This, the objectors say, was not accord- ing to precedent, as by it the person ap- pointed entirely usurped the power of the voters, not permitting any action in the primary whatever, from first to last, so far as they were concerned. The usual; form which is used is as fol- lows: “The republican voteys who may be pres- ent at the usual places of holding the dis- trict primary shall be called to order by the person designated above to do so, and elect three judges, who shall thereupon preside over and hold said meeting, and two clerks, who shall keep written lists of the names of all persons whose votes are accepted and_ rejected.” Wiliiam A. Meloy, who resides in Prince George’s county, and has an office in this city, is a prominent republican of the coun- ty. who characterizes the primaries held July 31 as an outrage. He declares that he belongs to no faction and is bound to no man, but he thinks that the manner in which the primaries were conducted were a disgrace. Mr. Meloy was spoken of as a candidate for state senator. Mr. Meloy’s Views. He said yesterday: “The whole thing was the work of Repre- sentative Mudd. He was pfesent at Upper Marlboro’ the day of the county conven- tion, August 2, and saw that things went as he wished. It is not the first time that Mr. Mudd has taken a hand in the affairs of the republican: party in Prince George's. “Some years ago, when John W. Belt was a candidate for the office of clerk of the circuit court of Prince George's, the two formed a combination, which was opposed by Mr. Coffin and J. T. Perkins, the latter a candidate for the office of clerk of the court. I am certain that the two fixed up a scheme for the purpose of getting the colored republicans to form exclusive col- ored clubs. The two fixed up the delega- tion, and in many of the districts delega- tions were sent out composed of purely col- ored men. . “In my own district, Kent, the colored voters came with a list which had been fixed up at the National Hotel. Mr. Belt made the struggle to gain the nomination in defiance of the support of leading repub- licans. “Mr. Perkins had been treasurer. of the county for some time, but lost much of his strength when it became known he was to be dropped at a certain time and his Strength thrown to a dark horse. “Mr. | Mudd had control in Prince George's at the primaries and county con- vention, and everything was subordinated to his desire to gain four delegates to vote for him for senator. John T, Fisher of Oxon Hill was made chairman of the Up- per Marlboro’ meeting, and everything was directed through Mr, Mudd. The delegates were named and pyt through with a rush. Withpyt, Precedent. “As to the rianiter in which the pri- maries were-called,,I never heard of such a thing before. The way it was done was certainly not rij not proper and not ac- cording to the $taté constitution. I never heard before of. a. the state centri not being given4 primaries were in every district but my own, Kent. F-Gounseled the voters to submit. Nee % “Iam certain that the notices of the pri- gdtten did not know fhe ‘focalities, mistakes in thé? ra@mbers and in the names of the there was almost a riot, in electing offi- cers. So far as I know, there was nothing ‘wrong with the primaries, except that I “I appointed as judges F. W. Holden, Charles Earl and M. V. Tierney, the last named, 2s I believe, a Coffin man, and I never beard any complaint from any of them. There was some corplaint of un- I learn, from Vansville district, where one of the clerks alleged things were not conducted properly. There was a glass ballot box used there. We used a cracker box for one, but I am sure there was no fraud. practiced whatever. I feel assured there were no tickets in it before the voting for the candidates commenced. Mr. Col ‘= Alleged Design. * “The truth of the matter is that Coffin felt it to his interest to make the county go democratic this.time. His son, Ellery Coffin, is a candidate on the democratic ticket for clerk of the court, and it is a family matter in that respect. James Belt is the republican candidate. Coffin, of course, is working in his son's interest, and that is all there is about it. “It is hard to tell what a convention will do, but I do not see how it can fail to recog- nize the delegation which was regularly elected, and it was regularly chosen. The only complaint that has been heard is from persons who were personally interested in some way and were not satisfied with the result."” The state convention to be held at Ocean City Thursday will be for the purpwse of nominating a candidate for state controller and one for the office of clerk of the court of appeals. ——._—_. CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE. Proceedings of the Body im Camp at Washington Grove. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., August 23, 1897. The morning service of the Christian and Missionary ‘Alliance opened with prayer by the Rev. C. C. Cook, and the Scripture les- son was selected from Habbakuk iil:3, which was read and expounded by the Rev. A. C. Gaebelein. The speaker stated that in the prophesies of the Old Testament, the “Manifestation: of God referred to his coming in the person of the Lord, the last appearance having been upon the Mount of Olives, and, also, that the “coming of the Lord” may have two phases, the one being in secret to his saints and the other at the time of the resurrection of the dead. Mr. Gaebel'n regarded the shortcomings of the churches to be as great as were the mistakes of the Jewish Nation, and that the lesson of the hour, is that individuals should enter into the plans and purposes of God, and give themselves over to him, in_body and soul. It is claimed that the alliance is a union of Christians of evangelical denominations, tor fellowship, prayer and work in pro- moting the gospel of full salvation; that it is not confined to sect or denomination, nor is a withdrawal from a church mem- bership necessary for those who wish to join the alliance, which contains three classes, active, associate and official. State auxiliaries have been formed with many local branches, and one especial aim is to promote a deeper spiritual life in all its members and among all Christians. The stereoptican lecture by Mr. Farder, upon life in Arabia, was an interesting evening entertainment. Commencing with Joppa, the audience was taken to the Mount of Olives, Jericho, Bethany, the Dead Sea and into Arabia, where the dis- tinctive features of life of that country were portrayed and explained in a most instructive manner. Pictures of Mount Nebo and Mount Hor were exhibited, thé latter showing the traditional resting place of Aaron. The illustrations of the wonder- ful rock excavations of Edom were of more than ordfnary interest, and the audience was thus informed why the people who did such work had the pride of heart re- ferred to in the book of Obadiad. The temples and homes cut out of solid rock more than 1,400 years since they were abandoned show the great skill of the ar- chitect and workmen. —_—_>—__ FAUQUIER WHITE SULPHUR. No Cessation in the Local Festivities of a Popular Resort. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEAR WARRENTON, Va., . August 23, 1897. There is no diminution in the social whirl here. Cards have reigned for two weeks, euchre being in the lead, though whist is & good second. Even the children have the fever, such games as casino and “slap- jack” being very popular with them. Two large and enjoyable progressive euchre parties have been given, one under the di- rection of Miss Morgan, the other under the supervision of Mrs. Ridgely McBlair. After the games, prizes were awarded and refreshments served. The winners were as follows: Firgt prizes, Mrs. Edgar Gunn of Richmond, Mrs. J. W. Bischoff and Mr. J. 8. Raymond of Wash- ington, and Major McIntire, principal of the Bethel Military Academy; second prizes, Mrs. Ridgely McBlair of Washington, Mrs. L. B.
