But after the Washington peo- Be had added two runs in that inning, making their total six to three for their ad- versaries, Tommy Tucker started an on- slaught on Mr. Mercer's curves which add- ed six runs to their score.

The victors won through brilliant battery work and hard hitting. The fielding was also a brilliant feature, in spit> of the few errors, none of which’ contributed to the home team's score. .

The most successful meeting in the his- tory of the Washington Jockey Club clo: at the Benning track Saturday afternoon, when the largest crowd seen at a local race course for many years witnessed the sport. The attendance of ladies was par- ticularly large, and their bright costumes made the grand stand and club house bal- brilliant with color. The gathering yas a distinguished one, official, diplomatic | and social circles being well represented. The Marine Band rendered a program of | patriotic and popular music, and added ; much to the pleasure of the occasion. The card called for five races, four on the flat and the fifth one over the full steeplechase course. The second race, the first Washington Nursery stakes, of $4,000 value, was the richest race run for here for very many years. It was for two-year- olds, at half a mile. Filigrane, R. W. Wal- den ‘& Sons’ bay colt, by imported Galore, out of Fillette, the 7 to 10 favorite, won easily from start to finish, beating Caout- choue two lengths, she several more lengths in front of Counsellor Wernberg. The winner carried 118 pounds, and Littl field merely had to sit still, the distance be- ing run, after thirty-five minutes spent at the post, in 50% seconds. The third race was the Washington han- dicap, at a mile, and six went to the post. The event had special interest for the local race goers, as Thomas Cat, one of the starters, was purchased a few days age by Mr. W. C. Eustis. "Trainer Burch thought the horse could hardly beat Ban- neck, but Mr. Eustis’ entry, getting oft fourth, gradually forged to the front, win- ning a good race by beating Bannock a length, he being a Fead in front of Don’t Care, ‘The result was a very popular one, and Mr. Eustis was heartily congratulated uron nis success. The third stake race of the day was fifth, the Benning full-course steeplechase. The starters were Decapod, Jack Pot, Mars Chan and Ingot. They finished in that or- der, Byrne riding a beautiful race on th winner. Varus, the even money favorite, won the first race, and Gen. Mart. Gary, a second choice, won the fourth, for maiden two-year-olds. Summary: First race, three-year-olds and_upward, selling, six furlongs—Varus, 116 (Penn), 11 to 10, won; Knight of the Garter, 109 (Coylie), 4 to 1 and even, second; ‘Long Acre, 101 (Forbes), 8 to 1, third.

An order was issued at the War Depart- ment this afternoon creating an army corps, under the command of Majer Gen- eral Brooke, consisting of three divisions, as follows: One at Tampa, under command of Brigadier General Wade; one at Mobile, under command of r General Cop- pinger, and one at New Orleans, under command of Brigadier General Shafter. CITIZENS ALL ASTIR Washington Turns Out En Masse to Witness the Military Parade, Brown-Hatted Men of the National Guard Checred on Their Way— Street Scenes, The department clerks and those em- ployed in the business houses did not have the streets and street cars to themselves as usual between 8:30 and $ o'clock this morning. Scores of other people, who sel- dom move out doors until an hour or two later were early astir, and by 8 o'clock there were lines of blue-coated, brown- hatted and brown-leggined men, young, lusty, vigorous and expectant striding sturdily in the direction of National Guard headquarters at Center market. They went in couples and threes and more, but a large number of them were accompanied by their mothers or sisters, wives or sweet- hearts, the anxious faces of the latter showing in strong contrast to their loved ones’ eager countenances. When the part- ing place came at the bridge leading to the armory there were many tears shed and many kisses exchanged, but each brave fellow went over with a load of good wishes and loving counsels to cheer him on the way. There was an. immense crowd present when the various columns of the guard turned out, and as they filed away—pictures of real war seen before in the capital city by few now living—cheers went up spon- taneously. Generously Greeted. The crowds were generous in their greet- ings, but, of course, the scoffers and unbe- levers were there. “Dey luks mighty putty now,” said a doleful sore of an old darkey, with a por- tentous shake of his head, “but dey ain’ gwineter be so bootiful when dey bin out car er chawin’ hard tack an’ er drinkin’ puddle water ‘bout two er tree munts.” The old man evidently had some incident of the late war in his mind's eye. “You fellows ought to be out there in line,” said a slick-looking young man with an unmistakable southern accent, address- ing the old darkey. “There’s a chance for you now to pay the debt you owe for your freedom.” “Huhi” ejaculated the other. “Freed’m. Shuh, man, I'd jist gib my rite ahm ter hab dem slab’ry times back ergin!” With this unanswerable argument the de- bate closed. The crowds followed the soldiers along up the avenue, and when the halt was made and the soldiers turned back there were all sorts of surmises as to the cause. John Fitz, the irrepressible ex-king of the newsboys, cocked his eye knowingly at a crcwd of the curious. “Shure,” he remarked paternally, “don’t ye know phwat’s dthe matther? Whoi, ole Gin’l Roosle Algy don’t want dthe b'ys t’ git wit” This humorous explanation seemed to be contagious, and the tendency to fun on that account was pretty widespread. But even those who indulged in it were loud in their praises of the way the District Guardsmen bore themselves. “No play soldiers in that crowd,” said an old retired army officer casting a critical eye over the column. “They look business from head to foot, every one of them.” The Recruiting Station. The turn out of the guard inspired mar- tial desires in many hearts, and perhaps to this was due the increase in inquiri@s at the recruiting office of the 7th Regiment of Vir- ginia Volunteers. This is located in Cos- tello’s Hall, on G street opposite the city post office, the entrance being marked by a hot-time-in-the-old-town-tonight sort of a sign, bearing in red and black letters the following: . “Warl War!
