Railroad legislation for the District of Columbia is meeting continued delays in the Senate.

The Philadelphia club arrived in Wash- ington Saturday night, and are confident of walking away with a majority of the games in the present series of four. As Manager Stallings is anxious to ascertain just how he stands as to his pitching staff, the chances are that one of the new twirlers, probably Becker, will face the Senators to- day. The great Delehanty will be found in left field, with Dick Cooley in center, and the old war horse, Sam Thompson, in right.

In a game abounding in brilliant plays ané in which victory hung in the balance until the last man was put out in the ninth inning, Pennsylvania’s nine defeated Gecrgetown, 2 to 1, at Franklin Field, Phil- j adelphia, Saturday afternoon. Owing to the chilly and disagreeable weather, but a handful of people were present, but they were rewarded by seeing the snapplest contest of the season. Both Brown and Bach were at their best, and the batting was light on both sides. The visitors gathered but five hits off the Quaker twirler, of which McCarthy got three, and the home team secured but six off the speedy pitcher from Georgetown. The work of the Georgetown infield was magnificent, Hofford, in particular, dis- tinguishing himself by making two running one-handed stops of hard ground balls, and each time nailing the runner with a lightning throw to first. Houston was very much in evidence for the Quakers, making two hits and bat- ting in the winning run. He also made two brilliant running catches of difficult fly balls to deep center field, either one of which would have proved disastrous to the Red and Blue had the ball escaped his clutches. R.H.E.

The first of the semi-anjual matches of the recently formed Intercollegiate Shoot- ing Association, held at New Haven Sat- urday at the ground of the New Haven Gun Club, was won by Harvard with a score of 131; Yale, second, 103 points, and Pennsylvanian and Princeton with 98 and 96 points, respectively. The best individ- ual score was maije by Paul of Pennsyl- vania, scoring 25 out of 30 birds. * é At Newton, Mass., the Institute of Tech- nology won in its dual athletic meet with Amherst College Saturday by a score of G6 to 5 points. It is believed by many that the breakdown of Mossman of Am-. herst, the star hurdler, lost the meet for the college. At Syracuse, N. Y., Cornell won in the dual athletic ‘games with. Syracuse Uni- versity by a score of 62% points to 49% for the local athletes. Prinstein of Syracuse broke the intercollegiate record in tl running broad jump, clearing twenty-three feet two and one-half inches.

Senator Pettigrew d not wish to de- lay the passage of these bills further than to speak on his amendment and to have it voted on. An agreement was made between Senator McMillan and Senator Pettigrew by which all the railroad bills could be taken up Thursday, May 5, but this agre ment could not hold because of the ne- cessity for considering. the post office ap- propriation bill, which {s still pending, and ceme Lefore the Senate;gain today.

When the Local BiH& May Come Up. When this latter bill,is disposed of the railroad bills will probably be taken up, unless the finance committee of the Senate should be ready at that time to report the revenue bill, in which pase the latter’ will be given the right of, way. Should the revenue bill be taken up before the rail- road bills are reached, the result will be that there will probably be no railroad legislation for the District of Columbia for at least ten days. = x The unfortunate feature of these contin- ued delays in railroad legislation is the fact that the companies are holding up the letting of contracts until they secure au- thority of law and the season of the year best adapted for progress on railroad con- struction is slipping away.

Brom the New Orleans Times-Democrat. © The cake walk properly had its origin among the French negroes of Louisiana more than a century ago. There is little doubt that it is an offshoot of some of the oid French country dances. It resembles several of them in form. From New Or- jeans it spread over the entire south and thence north. It was fgund of convenience to the plantation negroga. ‘Phey were not ‘wedded by license, and it was seldom that the services of a preacher were called in. At a cake walk a man might legitimately show his preference fora woman and thus publicly claim her for a wife? In effect the cake walk was not dit from the old Scotch marriage, which] only pub- lic acknowledgment frém. the contracting part!

They have the greatest confidence in him, and to him is due the credit of having put the company up to its prgsent high standard of efficiency. He has worked faithfully with the men and has done everything in his power to make the Alexandria Light Infantry the leading military organization of the state. Lieut. Marbury, who was also rejected, is quite as popular as Capt. Bryan, and his many friends deeply regret that he, too, may be unable to accompany the A. L. L to the front. It is not known here just when the com- pany will move to Rizhmond to go into camp, but crders are momentarily expect- ed. When the order comes the boys will move with their usual prompiness, and Alexandrians feel that they will give a good account of themselves at the front should the occasion arise. The Field Band. The 3d Regiment Field Band was exam- ined by Dr. Smith yesterday afternoon. Fifteen men presented themselves. Out of this number only eight were successful. Sergeant Major Krauss, commanding the band, was among the unfortunates. There is some talk among the men of this or- ganization declining. to respond to the call to Richmond, but it is believed that those who pass the examination wiil be muster- ed into the Alexandria Light Infantry and go with that company. Surgeon Smith left here yesterday after- roon for Charlottesville, Va., to examine the Monticello Guards of that city. He items are given below. Ribbons, 18c.
