But, for some reason or other, probably there was some justification for it in the league rules and regulations, Um- pires Snyder and Curry insisted on nine in- nings being played.

Few ball players can remain in one city for eight years and at the beginning of the ninth be more popular than ever with the base ball followers of that city. That is the record possessed by “Old Reliable” James McGuire in the city of Washington. = = —— = = MEDEIC A MATS ME D=mnm THERE ISA CLASS GF PEOPLE Who are injured by the use of coffee.

Players may come and players may go, but Jim seems to stay on forever. The way the popular catcher has started in this year clearly demonstrates that he is in fine fettle and as good as ever. Farrell is @ warm-weather catcher, and until the sun- | Association, May 17. shine makes its appearance for a prolonged stay McGuire can be depended upon to do all the catching, but later on will take his regular turn behind the plate. This season will be McGuire's fourteenth James McGuire, Catcher. as a player on the popular diamond. He began his successful career in 1884 with the Clevelands and finished that season with the Toledos. In 1885 he went to In- dianapolis, and again a transfer made him wind up the season in Detroit. In 1886 the “Big Four” deal went through and Mao was transferred to Philadelphia, with Wood and Casey as a sop to prevent the Quak- ers kicking on the deal being put through. The following season, 1887, McGuire play- ed with the Phillies and had a great rec- ord,- but in the early part of 1888 he was again transferred to the Detroit club, and later on to his first love, the Clevelands. The Toronto club snapped up McGuire in 1s89,-and in 1890 McGuire was with the Rechesters. His work for the Rochesters was of the phenomenal order, and the Washington club succeeded in landing him in the fall of that year. Ever since Jim has been doing a continuous turn as a Senator, and today undoubtedly is the most popular man on the team. As a man to handle Captain Brown says he is a shin- ing light for young players to follow, as he does little talking, but devotes all his en- érgies to following the game. Outflelder McHale Here.

LARGE eetee a NGHT Society People and Horsemen Throng Convention Hall. INTERESTING FEATURES The spring elements in this vicinity do not seem to have any particular love for things gay and sporty if the meteorological exhibition made in the past two days can be taken as a criterion fcr judgment. But in spite of their disapproval and the out- Tageous way in which they showed it, which was especially emphatic last night, the lovers of things gay and sporty ignored the frowns of Jupiter Pluvius and all his hosts, and converged’ again at the horse show, making Convention Hall a brilliant rebuke to the insults of the rain and wind. There is no telling how big a crowd would have been present if the weather had been more propitious. As it was, the box office window framed the face of Guzman wreath- ed in satisfied smiles as he reiterated the announcement over and over that the re- served seats back of the boxes were all sold and only a few were jeft at the south end. By 9 o'clock the big hall presented a most brilliant spectacle and everybody who knows anybody, as one society man_re- marked, seemed to be aiding in making it So. The first event on the program was the class for hs ses over 15 and not excceding 15 to have conforma- tion, quality, all-round action and be able to ,0 2 good pace. It seemed to a great many experienced spectators thatthe A Heavy Hunter. horses were kept going by the judges an unnecessarily long time at a rapid pace. and the steam rose from’ their overheated bodies as they were'kcpt relentlessiy at it. For over half an hour the class was kept in the ring. Then the blue ribbon was awarded Ronceverte, the fine brown gelding belonging to ©. Cc. West of Balti- more, Joph, Jesse Brown's well-known Rydsyk Hambletonian chestnut gelding, driven by Dick Wallach, getting the red. The equanimity of those who had been made impatient by the delay in this race Was restored by a display of hackneys, including those of Messrs. F.C. Stevens, A. J. Cassatt, Courtland Smith and Henry Fairfax. Mr. Stevens’ remar able Clifton II creatéd a sensation among the spectators, and his wonderful action and conformation easily explained why he holds acknowledged placg as the world’s champion hackney. In the saddle horse tlass, which followed, fitz, owned and ridden by Mr. George W. Ryder of this city, clearly outclassed Big Tree, belonging to Gorge J. Gould of New Yerk, and ridden by Mr. Blute, his only op- penent, and received many plaudits when awarded the blue ribbon. The four-in-hand event brought out three of the six entries, ssrs. O. H. P. Bel- mont of New York Mr, Alfred Darling Cushing of this city not appearing, and Mr. F. C. Stevens sending but one of his two ent into the ring. Representative Wallace Foote of New York drove a mixed veam, two grays—Gris- eite and Gay Lady—at the pole, and two bays—Gretna and Cadet, lead: Mr. Crawford of Hagerstown handsome seal-brown quartet Sentinel, Action and Alert. Grove Mr. Stevens’ 1 if . Si Walter and Sir Gilbert and Rex and’ Re- gent. The course of the the ring was accompan round of applause, which grew tumultuous when the blue r awarded to it. Mr. Crawford got second place and the red ribbon. The fours were followed by three, harness Pairs, ard when the judges awarded the blue rosette to Jing Jing and High Ball, the brown geldings owned and driven by Mr. Ji Thompson of Baltimore there was a general exclamation of sur- prise from horsemen, 2s George B. Hulme’s Lord Brilliant and Lieut. Wilkes d by one cor Critics, were regarded as entirely outclassing the Baltimore horses in conformation, style and all-round action. The red ribbon was awarded to the latter pair, but when Batonyi, the driver of them, reached the faddock, he threw the rosette on the tan- bark, scorning its possession under the circumstances. The last event of the evening was the Corinthian class of hunters, open to all, horses to be ridden ‘by tmembers of some recognized hunt club; cOnformation and quality to count 50 per cent and perform- ance over ovstacles 5u per cent. The first prizes fell to New York’ P. F. Collier's Magnificent black gelding Flying Dutch- man getting the «coveted blue, while George Gould’s Shamrock,secured the red.

Horse Show Notes. ‘The sale to be held at ‘he horse show this morning was declared off. An interesting box party last night com- prised Mrs. Foxhall Keene, Mrs. Harold Snewdea, Mrs. Wincher, wife of Lieut. Wincher of the navy, and Mrs. Farber oi Baltimore. Mr. Alex. Legare’s win yesterday was most gratifying te his numerous friends. Mr. Algernon Daingerfield has acquitted himself admirably in the duties devolving upon him during the show. They have been both onerous and difficult, but his valuable experience, as usual, carried him through easily and amiably. It is highly probable that the show will be continued for two days next week, the-« being a general desire on the part of the exhibitors for this extension. A bright southern woman (ook Mr. P. F. Collier down the other night. Mr. Colijer leaned into her box and re- marked, after Virginia horses had take one, two, three and four in a jumving event: “The brush on the post and rail does not suit our New York horses.” Instently the lady replied: “That is not the trouble, Mr. Collier. Your horses cannot jump the Mason and Dixon line.” a His Record Against Him. “I'm-not a.vag,” answered James Reeves when arraigned in the Police Court this morning. “I’m always getting arrested for nothing: “Reeves got out of the workhouse the 9th of last month,” said, Policeman Au- ,, “and he’s been drunk every day “Where did you arrest him?” the comt inquired. - “On Water street,” was the policeman’s response. “He spends most of his time about the wharves.” é “Yes,” added the prisoner, “and I work every day.” A sentence of ninety days-was imposed. ee CONDENSED LOCALS.
