The Brookland school mzde an admirable start yesterday, with one Eundred and eighty pupils, which num), as today by nearly two hundred and ferty by the “ticket pupils.” The principal is Mr. C. K. Finckel, with the same assistanu as last year, namely, Mrs. Lillie P. Bai Miss Given, Miss Rose, Miss Bogan, Sexton and ii Alice Fletcher. Some an entire room, and since it was transferred in full, it will necessitate the sixth grade being by itself, under Miss Bailey, who had the fourth and sixth grates lust year. A second change will be the putting of the fourth grade with the fifth, with Miss Given. The second grade will be well filled, owing to the fact chat there are two first grades in the building. Much to the satisfaction of both residents of Brookland and the teachers themselves, there no change in the corps of in- structors in this scavol. The special teachers will begin their work shortly. Mr. Harries will form lis classes in manual training this week, so as to be ready for systematic work by Octo- ber. The other teachers will be as follows’ Music, Mr. Tracy; drawing, Miss Shipman; * physical culture, M Rosa Holmes, and sewing, probably, M Draney. = The Erookland school building is under- going needed improvements in sanitary ef- fects, which are being arranged in the sement. This will scon be completed, and then the school will be well equipped in every way. Mr. Thomas Keene, the su- vising principal, has always manifested mech interest in the Brookland school, end is well pleased with its present progress. ——.__ English Cricketers at Baltimore. The team of English cricketers who have just played in Philadelohia will ar- rive in Baltimore this afternoon and will play All-Baltimores Thursday at Catons- ville. Bray has prepared a beautiful wicket and the extensive grounds of the Coun- try Club are in prime order. The game commences each day at 11 o'clock and lasts until 5:30. Refreshment tents will be in place on the grounds, where the visitors can precure lunch when the teams are not playing, during the intermission from 1:30 to 2:30. ‘Trains for the Catonsville grounds leave the union station, Baltimore. ‘FOR SLEEPLESSNESS Take Horsford’s Acid Phosphate. 2 Have . especialy of mis.

Supply of Oysters Barely Equal to De- mand—Birds and Frogs—The Fish Market. the curb line this morning, as well as inside the markets, the effects of the change in the weather were very much in evidence. Along the route between 7th and 12th streets the people from the country were asking more for some fruits and | Yegetables than they did last week, and between times they discussed weather con- ditions. Some few of them said they had seen where the frost had touched the low grounds, but they thought there was very little, if any, damage done. Peaches were not near so plentiful as they, were last week, and good ones sold at about $1.50 a box, while last week they brought only about one-half this amount. Pears were plentiful and cheap, while to- matoes, although abundant, brought much better prices than they have heretofore. ‘There was not much change in the prices of other supplies. Inside the big Center market building there were fruits of all kinds, and as fine as the dealers had ever handled. These showed off to the best possible advantage. Game is beginning to come in, and the pres- ence on one of the benches of a pair of 100k ducks, killed down the river, caused a dealer to remark that there must be some cold weather coming. “They are cold weather ducks,” he re- marked, “and when they come it means that cold weather is not far away.” Teal in Good Condition, One dealer had ten teal ducks, killed on the branch, while quite a number of the same variety had been received from down the river. Those killed about here were in excellent condition. Woodcock are not plentiful, but were never in better condi- tion. Ortolan are scarce, and most of them killed about here this season are said to have been poor. Reed birds are . till being killed, but are becoming scare They are in much better condition, how ever, than they were earlier in the season. A scarcity: of frogs from nearby waters has resulted in large receipts of them from the west, principally from Missouri. Dealers say that the high grass in the waters about here renders the catching“of them difficult, and this is given as the reason for the scarcity. The change in the weather has had the effect of making a material change in the oysier market. The dealers were able to, supply the demands, but there was no sur- plus. “There was not an oyster boat at ihe wharf this morning,” remarked a dealer, “and the steady demand has taken off the supplies as fast as they reached here. Seven or eight boats arrived Sunday, but they closed out yesterday and went back down the river.” The high wind, the dealer explained, had prevented the boats from getting here. He thought several would arrive during the day. The Winds and Fisheries. Down the river, as well as in other sec- tions, the winds have affected the fisheries, and higher prices for some fish prevail. Fresh cod, offered here last week by eas- tern dealers at 3% cents, is bringing 6 cents this week. The supply of Spanish mackerel from the Potomac is scarce, and dealers are relying upon shipments ‘from Cape Charles and Crisfield. About the vicinity of St. George's Island, where so many of the mackerel are usually caught, fishermen have been making big hauls of tailors., ‘Tife Season for soft crabs is about at an end, although some few of them are atill to be had. —— ‘To Baltimore and Return via 8. and 0.

The bi-monthly meeting of the Epworth League of this city and the vicinity was held jast evening at the M. E. Church South in Hyattsville. Representatives from nine chapters throughout the suburbs were present, as well as a large number of visitors not members of the league. The opening prayer was delivered by Mr. Choate of Washington, which was followed by congregational singing. z Mr. George H. Lamar, introduced by Rev. Wm. Meibourn, presided over the meeting, and Mt. Fred. E. Weedward of Washing- ton acted as secretary, Mr. Harry Burnhard of Hyattsville de- livered a brief address of welcome, after. which the regular business of the league was disposed of, and the general exefcises then taken up. ‘The Devotional Department” served as the general topic. Kev. L. L. Lloyd of Gaithersburg spoke on “The Dominant Ob- ject of the Devotional Department.” This dominant object, he declared, was the in- telligent knowledge of God and worship- ing Him with simplicity and in a contrite spirit. s “What Should Be the Composition of the Devotional Committee, and How. Can It Best Accomplish Its Work?” formed the subject of an address by Mr. Fred. E. Wootward of Washington. A general dis- cussion followed. Mr. ¥F. J.

Cinbs. 86° 35 aS The Philadelphia Press has the following to say of yesterday's Washington-Phila- delphia game: The Philadelphia team’s exhibition yes- terday was a second edition of their play- ing last spring. There was an unusual amount of effort put in their work and every one of the men played as if a con- tract for next season depended on his showing. Jack Taylor acted as the leader and his comrades backed him up in regu- lar first division style. Every one of the inflelders got a cheer or more from the 1,349 shivering spectators; Shugart because of séveral stops of fierce grounders, Lajoie for pulling down two wild throws and re- tiring batsmen, Cross for a_ sensational double play and Nush for a cleyer stop. Reilly and Wrigley aiso made good plays and Gettman made his debut in this city with two singles. An unusual number of numerals figured in Philadelphia's score, as will be seen by the summary. Tommy Dowéd’s sprinting was up to the season's record. Every time he got on first base, which he did féur times, he had the entire senato! band up in the air and five times he received credit for stolen basi four being purloins of sec- ond and the odd one of third. Tommy also oracked out three hits. Delehanty and Nash each received three bases on balls and Taylor fanned. the rather chilly atmos- pkere on three different occasions, twice with two men on the bases. If Taylor was weak, though, with the bat he was a Sandow on the pitchers’ slab. His twirling was of the kind that 6ne should iook for from him often, and showed what a really great pitcher he would be if he but tried. Only six hits were made off his delivery and the bunehtng of two of these in the ninth was all that saved a shut-out for the visitors. As the latter énly received one base on balls and not a home player made an erro?, the numerous cipiers in Weshington’s run column is easily ©x- plained. The Stallingites also found the journey around the bases difficult, although the get- ting to first base was rather easy. Thirteen of them were anchored and McJames’ numerous bases on balls failed to prove costly, through a failure-to hit him at the proper time. Four of the Phillies’ hits were bunched in the third and these proved just enough to land the victory. A double play choked off a run by Phila- delphia in the first. With one out, Dowa singled and stole second and third. Deéla- hanty drew four balls. Lajole’s effort drop- ped in front of the plate and Tucker re- turned Farrell’s throw in time to double up Dowd at the home base. Tucker opened the second with a single. Brown sent a Uner toward right, which Cross captured almost on the ground. Lave rose to his knees and sent the ball to Lajoie in time, to head off Tucker, and as sensational a double play as one could wish for was com- pleted. Cooley singled in the third and was thrown out trying to steal second. Dawd bunted safely and stole second. A wild pitch put him on third. Delahanty walked and Lajoie singled to center. When Brown tried to return the ball it slipped from his fingers and Delahanty scored with Dowd. Lajoie was thrown out at the plate on Shu- Cross’ gart’s hot one to Wrigley, and single and four balls to Nash were w . From the second to the ninth only one Senator reached first base. G ttman open- ved their final attempt with a single. De Montreville fouled to Nash and Farrell doubled, scoring man. Cooley retired Tucker and Nash disposed of Brown's fly.

Mr. Wagner Says That the Reins Were Handed Over to Brown. The sensational spurt made by the Wash- ington team during the past few weeks has astonished the base ball world.

From the New York Jourtai, An awful chill was imparted to the hot southern blood of that Maryland squad of pennant winners yesterday afternoon, and the blow almost killed Corbett—not Jim, but Jim's brother, Joe. The Giants, who had such a woeful (ime at Boston, cavorted like a band of two-year-olds, while the Orioles ceased their piping lay after the first round. It took nearly three hours to grind out a result, and the cold, blue gleam of electrie Nghts shone over the closing scenes. Luck favored Scrappy Pill and his em- ployes, as Rusie, with one swipe to go, landed cn the ball in the eighth and drove in the winning run. The game was pro- longed one round longer than it should have been, but Baltimore tied in the first haif of the eighth and something had to be done. Rusie, who had been held in re- serve especially for this battle, was thump- ed to the tune of eighteen hits. The same dose was dealt out to Jim’s brother Joe, but the Giants had the closing argument, and the swat of A. Rusie was most ef- fective. Baltimore was ably represented by a num- ber of gentlemen, said to be members of the Oyster Openers’ Union, who drove into the grounds on a tally-ho coach with yellow wheels. They sat in'the balcony and made remarks appropriate to the occasion, now and then reviling the umpire, but all to no purpose. Before the trouble had been five minutes. under way Umpire Hurst chased Kelley out of the lot. Hurst has not.toiled on the Pelo grounds for some months, but ne made an excellent”start by sending Kelley to*the bench. That youth wanted to run the game to suit himself, hence the trou- ble. The retirement of this kicker held the fest in check to a certain extent, but there was cnough needless oratory on both sides to‘delay the game almost beyond the limit of genteel endurance: ATLANTIC LE. GUE. President Barrow Re-Elected and Other Business Transacted. A meeting of the Atlanti¢ Base Ball League was held yesterday at Newark, N. J. There was a long wrangle over the re- tention of, the Athletics in the league. This was finally settled and the club may. play again next season. The meeting adjourned at 5 p.m. President Barrow was re-elected and Messrs. Ellis.of Newark, Wood of Hartford, Spurrier of Lancaster were elect- ed directors. The Soby cup was Newark refusing tp play cute remairs the sdine ‘o the past season, with the exception of the Athletics. Shar- sig has been given until November 1 to lo- cate the Athletic ffanclgse m Worcester, Harrisburg or Wilmington, all three hav- ing bid for it. The league meets in Phila- delphia during November BASE BALL NOTES. The Senators play their second game of the concluding series withvthe Phillies to- day. Mercer will be 6n the,rubber for the Washington boys and either Dun bb, awarded to Lancaster, for it. The cir- Jack Taylor, from the way he pitched rday against tke Senators, is keeping his* weathot “se ‘led “for 'néxt season. There is little questiop_as.to Jgck’s ability, but he hag beenrihadicepped this season by bad handlers ‘and “his ‘work has been peor: i ‘There willbe an interesting story in to- morrow’s Star’ rélative to ext season's prespects that the Jocal enthusiasts will doubtiess read with appreciation. Rain prevented the game at Boston yes- terday between the home club and Brook- lyrs. A double-header will Ikely result. Should the Beaneaters capture both con- tests it will send them to the top of the pennant procession. New York seems 'cap- able of taking good care of the birdlets from Baltimore. Brown's error was unfortunate yesterday, but had little to do with the Phillies’ vic- tory, as the Senators were unable to con- nect with Taylor's delivery. Such an error as a ball slipping from a@ player's grasp does not occur more than once a season and can be classed as hard luck when such a hard-working, conscientious player as Brown is the victim. Tommy Dowd broke the record of the season yesterday -in stealing five bases in one game, and on’such an expert thrower as Farrell the feat can be classed as re- markable.. Tommy has been under the weather almost since the day he arrived in Quakerdom and has evidently just rounded to. = George Davis, the hard-hitting shortstop of the New Yorks, has been out of the game for the past week on account of a sore hand. Gleason has taken his place at short and Gettig is playing second. The absence of Davis materially weakens the Giants and their victory over Baltimore yesterday is all the more praiseworthy. Umpire Kelly is no longer on Nick Young's staff. On Saturday Kelly received an official notice from Mr. Young.that his services would no longer be required by the National League.—Baltimore American: Charley Snyder, who has. been umpiring in the Atlantic League with great success all season, has returned to Washington, looking well and prosperous. Charley says that Seybold, an outfielder; Hannivan, a third baseman, and Yeager, a pitcher, ali of the Lancaster team, have the earmarks of comers, and are fast enough now for the big league. Hannivan has *been playing third base for the last three months, and his work has been far superior to Elber- feld, the Richmond boy signed by Philadel- phia. Yeager has won about fifteen games eut of seventeen, and Seybold ts a great batter. Charley also had a gcod word. to say of George Carey, the old Baltimore first baseman, and this season ‘with the Athletics. In the face of adverse circunt- stances, such as playing on a weak team and for a small salary, Carey’s work has been remarkable in the way of fielding and with the bat. Snyder says he is willing to wager $50 ‘thateif Carey is taken into the big league he will outbat at least six play- ers now guarding the first bag. Umpire Snyder also gave out another important piece of information, and that is that many of the best players in the Atlantic e Nave injured their playing ability by an overindulgence in cigarette smoking. This habit has become more damaging of late than drinking intox 5.

The elub will leave Boston Wednesday night and play in Orange the next afternoon. After the game in Orange a special sleeper will be waiting at Newark, which will be con- nected with the midnight express from Jer- sey City, the team arriving in Baltimore early in the morning. If Boston makes any kind of showing this week, a large com- peny of rooters will make the trip to Balti- mcre. F. A. Abell of Brooklyn has purchased from the Fall River club Pitcher Ralph Miller, who is considered the most likely pitcher in the New Engiand League. Man- ager Marston has refused several offers for Miller, but, feeling sure the player would be drafted, let him go to Brooklyn. Miller has excellent command and is cool in his work. He is about twenty-four years of age, five feet ten inches In height and weighs one hundred and seventy pounds. Joseph Bean, the crack shortstop of the Newport club, has signed a Boston con- tract, conditional upon the arrangement of satisfactory terms for -his purchase from the Newport club. Brooklyn had its eye on Bean, but concluded that he was too light. Manager Selee has returned to Boston from Syracuse, N. Y., where he had gone to sign Pitcher Willis. He succeeded in getting his man, but not until the player had got the money he asked. There may be a hitch in the proceedings, however, as Fred Lake declines to be transferred with- out his consent. Lake was not consulted in the arrangement, and says he will have no minor league in his, as long as he can get a job in a major league. In signing Pitcher Becker of Montreal, the Philadeiphia club has laid itself open to argument with Louisville before the board of control. When Frank Shannon was re- leased to Rochester last spring it was with the understanding that Louisville was to have the pick of that team any time to- wird the close of this season. Rochester sold out, and the team was transferred to Montreal, but, nevertheless, the claim held gocd. Clarke had just about decided to take Pitcher Becker, who was giving great service to the Canucks, when the Quaker people stepped in and purchased the youngster’s release. Now the matter will have to come up for adjustment before the national board. Philadelphia has posses- sion of the player, but in the face of evidence, it is hard to see how he can be held there. TEMPLE CUP PLANS. Speculating as to the Profits of the October Contests. Tim Murrane in Reston Globe. Win or lose the pennant, Bostop has earned the right to play for that Temple cpp, as there is now not one chance in 100 that New York can get there. The series for the Temple trophy will no doubt be started in this city in order to avoid the cold weather as ‘much as possible, aad for the same reason the games will be started as soon ag possible after the regular seax son closes. The week of October 4 will no doubt find the Baltimore and Boston boys. battling for honors at the South End grounds. Three games will be played here, three in Baltimore if required, and the odd game, if necessary, on neutral grounds. All the money taken at the games goes into one pot, to be divided 60 per cent to the winner and 40 to the loser. The grounds are given free. Each team will keep the extras from privileges, such as score cards, etc. The Boston club will have eighteen players and Manager Selee, mak- ing nineteen to share in the division. As the season is late the games will not attract unusually large crowds, as they have seen the teams play before. No het- ter attraction could be offered, however, than*Baltimore, and should Boston win the pennant, the attendance at the games here would be doubled. As in the past, Balti- more will not swell the receipts to any alarming extent, as they have grown a bit tired of honors. If thg Boston men win 60 per cent they will be playing in luck to take off from $300 to $400 each from the Temple cup funds. Besides this’ they will have some- thing from the sale of the book now being » a history of the Boston club, containing a sketch of all the players ever ccnnected with the club, as well as other matter on the game specially interesting to New England people. The sale of photographs has been quite large, and the boys should receive quite a handsone amount out of these side shows. This week will wind up for Boston the most successful season ever known to’ the game. More people have passed the turn- stile this year than ever before, and the quality of ball put up by Captain Duffy’s boys was never surpassed. The patrons of the sport got a run for their money, and the owners of the club have good reason to smile at the generous | weather is more favorable. outpouring of the lovers of the game. The club made big money. That's good, but, what is better, the team pleyed grand ball! CYCLIST ZIMMERMAN He Will Take Part in the National Circuit Meet. Arthur A. Zimmerman, the eminent cy-.

Rumor has had it that the colonelcy of the cadet regiment will not go to the Cen- tral High School, as has been customary, but that it will go to the Eastern, as a cadet of that school ranks higher than any other in the organization. The foundation of this rumor lies in the fact that a new method of appointing reg- imental and battalion officers has been ar- rived at, deviating from the old custom of apportioning the appointments among the several schools, taking into considera- tion the number of years the school’s course of study calls for and the number of cadet companies, not comparing the scholarship and military records of the pupils of the several schools. The Central, being the oldest school, having the greatest number of cadets, and being right at the head- quarters of the regiment, has always been given the regimental positions. As the first battalfon is made up of Central com- panies, the battalion officers are, of course, taken from that school. The second bat- talion is made up of the two Eastern com- panies, one from the “Business and one from the Western. In apportioning the positions in the second battalion the East- ern has always been given the major, the Business the battalion adjutant, and the Western the battalion quartermaster. System Caused Trouble. This system of apportioning the appoint- ments according to the merits of the schools at large, leaving out the individual merits of those appointed, caused trouble, and complaint was made to the board of trustees. J. Strother Miller of the Eastern, the first lieutenant of "95's prize company, was appointed major of the second bat- talion las: year, as was customary, Lieu- tenant Miller ranking the highest in his class. The Western school expected that Captain Berry of their "9 company would be given the majc commission, as he ranked Miller. Complaint was made by the Georgetown school, and Major Harries, of u board of school trustees, was ap- pointed a committee to make satisfactory arrangements for future appointments of cadet officers. He Las not, as yet, any idea of the system he will recommend. The appointments will not be made for three or four weeks, and there is plenty of time for the consideration of the different plans. It is possible that all candidates for regimental and battalion positions will be given a competitive examination, and those ranking highest will be given the prefer- ence. The Company Officers. No change will be made in the appoint- ment of company officers. The ranking beys of the Central are Clark, Pipes, Wi!d, Wheeler, Stormer, Bogan, Young, Everman and Norwood; those of the Eastern, Beth- une, Saegmuller, Covel, Smith, Harrison, Embrey, Parson, Hoover, Trow and Brown; ai the Business, Tidings, Mahaney, Wey- rich, Gause and Hetdanrich, and at the Western, Taussig, Buck, Lambert and Pot- berry. This ranking is taken from their standing last year, whch was not affected by last year’s scholarship or drill record, and which, it is possible, will be different this year. It is impossible to get definite information on the ranking of the cadets from the principals of the schools, but the beys have a very good idea where they stand, and this list is obtained from them. The regiment will be formed the first week in October and indications point to a successful year. Outlook for Foot Ball. The prospects for foot ball look brighter for the schools this year than it has for several years past. It is true that the Cen- tral team’s outlook is not so encouraging, as the school’s best and most enthusiastic players have left the school; but the East- ern and Business will both have fairly good teams, and it is most likely that the Georgetown boys will have an eleven in the field hunting for the High School cham- pionship. The promoters of the game will get together in a few weeks and arrange for the series The games will be played before Thanksgiving, when the interest in the sport is most intense, and when the The Eastern team was organized yester- day afternoon. Mr. Plater of the faculty was elected faculty advisor, Socrates Mau- pin, captain and Amzi Smith, jr., mana- ger. The Eastern boys lose the valuable services of Mr. Wilson, who was a teacher at that school for a number of years, but who was this year transferred to the Cen- tral. Practice will begin this evening. Trying for Places. The following are trying for positions on the team: Ends, Etzler, 8. Maupin, Barstow, Coombs, Hilder and Garges; tackles, Fort, Evans, Bliss, Licarioni and Telson; guards, Hunter, Darling and Mc- Kinley; center, De Grain and Watson; half backs, Worsley, ®. Maupin and Bucking- ham; full back, Linger and Weaver, and quarter back, Hoover. There are some new men who have not yet reported, from among whom, it is hoped, some avaiiable material can be selected. The Eastern team loses the services of Snell, Meigs, Worley and Todd this year, but their loss does not compare with that of the Central, which loses Jolly, Exley, Ball, A. Barnard, Hoge and Albert. The Central schocl has the larger number of pupils, and they will therefore have more candidates from among whom to pick their team. The Business and Central teams will hot be organized until next week. As the Business and Western were no‘ in the High School Foot Ball Association lest year, and as they did not have strictly school teams, no idea of their prospects can be obtained. . a $2.00 Philadelphia and Retarn via B. and 0. 7:05 and 9:00 a.m. trains going, returning on all trains, Sunday next.—Advt. A PROTEST FILED. A.M. Raymond and Others Object to Improvements Projected. Mr. A. M. Raymond, representing a ma- jority of the property owners abutting Gales street and Benning road, was at the Commissioners’ office this morning with a protest against the widening of Gatcs street and petition favoring the extension of G street. The protest was also against avy change in or condemnation of 17th, 18th (Clagett street), 19th or 20th streets northeast. Mr. Raymond stated he would present his petiticn to the chief of engineers. Following is the petition in full: We, the undersigned citizens, owning property abutting on Gales street and ning road, do hereby protest against widening Pe pI inst the in lieu thereof that G street be extend rahe extended plan attached would, through ver part of the wa: Gales street, and recommen:k branch, as show! thereto.

Outlines the Route to Be Traversed— Sche Late yesterday afternoon stoners received from the nr the elver of the Eckington railroad his answer to’ the letter requiring further tests with the air motor before finally adopting the same as a mo- tive power for the road. The receiver says: “In regard to the tests of the Hoadley- Knight compres: alr motor car, which you have reque I will be ready to proceed with these tests tomorrow (Tues- day) afternoon, at 2: k, at which time the air motor car will leave the power station of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company, at 4th and T streets northeast, and proceed to 7th and B streets northw from which point ft will tow back to the power house one of the regular tor cars, now in use on the Eckington but if you consider that it would be a more Satisfactory test I will tow the air motor car with the elec- trie motor from the power station, 4th and T streets northeast, to Florida avenue and of six miles, ear shove and Eckington place, a distance and then have the air motor the electric car to 7th and B stree from that point make the trip to the pr station, 4th and T streets nertheasi ing the electric motor. Elther is Satistacte “Either of these propos tirely satisfactory to mi I only sug- gest the latter to you, as I think it will be a more satisfactory demonstration than the formér test. In this connection, how- ever, you will pardon me for at- tention to the fact that in the actual opera- tion of a compressed air system on eith of the lines for which I am 7 re no eiver, such severe condition of affairs could possi- bly occur, for, in the i tion of this system, high pressure pipe lines will be laid between the center the all the lines, with em: tie the different nes, and intermediate po of probably every half mile, which will be of similar appearance and ign to the section manhoies in use in the underground conduits of the Metropolitan railroad of this city. Indeed, these pipe lines would take the place of and perform the same service as feeder wires now laid in di in connection with the und: rground el condult system, and which can be 1 id at much smaller expense, and with very little disturbance of the street, as the pipes would only require a small trench, between the tracks, of about the same size as that required for a small water main, Case of Breakdown. “While the terminal charging stations Would be in constant use, the intermediate ones would be rarely, if ever, used, and then only in case of a breakdown, which, at the worst. would be rare, owing to the perfect design and simplicity of the Hoad- jey-Knight motors, making it improbable for sach a test as the one you have re- quired to ever occur. For, should such a contingency arise that a disabled car must be towed from 7th and B streets northwest, there would be a charging station at this point, and should the next motor to come in not have a sufficient reserve, could re- charge to its full which would insure beyond question of doubt its ability to tow the disabled car back to the sta- tion. However, I am glad to have thé op- portunity to demonstrate to the Commis- sioners the ability of the Hoadley-Knight motor to meet the severest requirement im- posed, which, I think you will agree me, is not an easy one, in view of th that the line selected, with its many short radius curves, heavy grades and present condition of track, together with the ex- treme weight of the car and length of wheel base, which Is 8 feet, makes the test @ most severe one. A Similar Test. “Upon conclusion of the test of towing the electric motor car from 7th and B streets northwest to the power station, 4th and T streets northeast, I will make a similar test, using Brookland as the ter- minus, in which case I will tow the motor from the power station to Brookland and return. “On Wednesday morning I will pared to start a regular schedul days, as follows: Leaving power 4th and T streets northeast, at & a.m. m., 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., and running to and G streets northwest and return, mak- ing four trips per day, which will be ali that the small compressor I have here wi!l be able to supply sufficient air for. This is practically the same schedule that I had in force during the latter part of March a’ the months of April, May and June. barring any trouble with the compr ‘ the trips will be made exactly in accord- ance with the schedule submitted.” ——_.
