St. Asaph Race Track Converted Into an Immense Corral. Mules Being Placed There, Prepara- tory to Going Into U. S. Service— General and Personal. Evening Star Bureau, No, 529 King Street, Bell Telephone, No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 23, 1898. St. Asaph race track, near this clty, which was recently leased by the govern- ment to be used as a base of supplies, ts now the scene of continuous hustle. Dur- ing last week, 1,086 mules from the west, and 500 wagons and harness arrived and are being put in condition. The mules are tethered to long lines of rope with 200 to a line. Captain E. H. Parsons is in charge of the corral and is being assisted by Mr. Fred. S. Barker of the War Department. Very nearly all the mules are broken and as soon as they are shod, and the wagons put up, they will be sent to Camp Alger, near Falls Church. A hospital has been estab- lished at the stables, at the west end of the track, and is in charge of competent veterinarians. Dr. Robinson of the com- missary department is chief veterinarian. » work of rounding up, examining and ing the mules was completed yester- day afternoon. This morning the work of shoeing began and will be continued until all have been supplied, a large majority having already been shod in front. All day yesterday large crowds visited the track to look over the enormous drove and to witness the round-up and capture of those that had not been tethered. There ‘e about fifty in the lot that had never had on a halter, therefore some little trouble was experienced in placing them in subjection. Each mule has the letters U. S. branded on his left fore shoulder. A part of the old grand stand has been converted into a store room for grain for the animals and for safe keeping of the harness. The nay and straw is stacked near the corral and is covered with canvas. Long watering troughs are situated about twenty yards to the north, the water being furnished through pipes from the Alexandria water works. The mules are fine specimens, a majority being very large. There are about fifty in the hospital, some with bad colds, distem- per and cuts and bruises inflicted during the journey of the animals to the corral. Only two of them died during the transpor- tation. This is considered as very lucky, as some of them were without water for seventy hours. It is expected that the teams for Camp Alger will be got in condition early this week. As fast as the mules are taken their places will be filled by others. A la ‘ge number of applications for team- sters have been received by Capt. Parsons, and are on file. Each applicant will be tested with a team of four mules. If he proves himself proficent, he will be given a position. They will have to be enlisted for a period of two years at a salary of $40 per month. About 300 of the mules were turned loose this morning for exercise, and the old race track now presents a novel appearance. A large number of persons from Washington and Alexandria were at the corral today. Police Court. Mayor Simpson this morning disposed of the following cases ‘in the police court: Charles Curtin, charged with an assault on his wife, fined $2.50; Thomas Lenox, charged with assault on Julfa Cheeks, fined $5; Dallas Washington, charged with us- sault on his wife, fined %; Ed Hobson, charged with being drunk on the street, forfeited $3 collateral; Charles Hodges and Blanche Washington, charged with disor- derly conduct and fighting, fined $5 each; David Brown. charged with refusing tu work on the chain gang, put on a bread and water diet until he decides to work. Property Sales. The following sales of real estate took Place in this city Saturday: J. T. Lucas has sold to Frank 8. Lucas the house and lot at the northeast corner Charlotte Nichloss has sold to Florence Lee a lot on the east side of Pitt street between Gibbon and Franklin for $150. One sixty-fifth interest in the Fort Myer Heights property was bought in today by the Fort Myer Heights Company for $300 and one twenty-fifth interest by D. K. Trimmer, a large stockholder in that com- pany, for $500. The sale took place at Fort Myer and was made by Mr. 8. H. Lunt of this city. As few people knew the sale was to be made, the attendance was very limited. Mr. . E. Clements, commissioner, sold today one lot, 50x120 feet, at Carlin Springs to John B. Bloss for $75. Price of Bread Advanced. At a called meeting of the bakers of this city, held Saturday afternoon in the office of the Alexandria Steam Bakery, it was unanimously decided to advance the price of bread half a cent. The advance went into effect this morning. The wholesale price is now 4% cents for steam bread and 4 cents for plain bread. The consumer pays one cent over these prices for his bread. Delegates Elected. The following delegates have been clected to represent the Epworth League of the M. E. Church South of this city at the con- vention which meets at Norfolic, Va., June 23 to June 26: Frank J. Pollard, Henry K. Fields, H. B. Kemp, Alvin Powell, Mrs. J. G. Cockey, Mrs. Benj. Wheatley, jr., Miss Mary Williams and Miss Kate Price. Election Tomorrow. The ection tomorrow for common- wealth’s attorney, clty sergeant, commis- sioner of revenue, magistrates and consta- bles will, in all probability, be the quietest in the history of the city. There will be but one ticket in the fleld—the one nomi- nated at the democratic primary held last month. General and Personal Notes. Yesterday was an exceedingly quiet Sua- day. All the churches had large congrega- tiers. In the afternoon there were few visitors, and a large number of the resi- dents went to Camp Alger to see the sol- dier boys. The committee of R. E. Lee Camp hav- irg charge of the memorial exercises re- quest that all persons who have nerctofore taken part in the choir, and other singers willing to assist, meet at Peabody Hall tonight at 8 o'clock for rehearsal.

Norton of the corporation court has gone to New York to be present ai the wedding of his cousin, Mr. Andrew. Dickson. Rev. R. M. Ball of Alabama preached at the railroad reading rooms yesterday afternoon to a large congregation. A number of converts from Mount Jezreel Church (colored) were baptized at 9 o'clock yesterday morning at Battery Rogers by Rey. Alex. Willbanks. A meeting was held Saturday night at the armory by the “stay-at-home” mem- bers of the Alexandria Light Infantry. It was decided to give an excursion tu Rive> View June 3. The money will be used to pay the debts of the company, and if there should be a balance it will be sent to the boys at the front. Mary Catherine Phillips, the twelve-year- old daughter of Mr. Frank Phillips, died at the residence of her parents yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, after a long illness. The funeral of the late John Lynch, whose death was mentioned in The Star, tock place from St. Mary's Catholic Church this morning at 9 o'clock, and was largely attended by the many friends of the de- ceased. SES eee Julia Harris, colored, fifty-three years old, living at 2415 15th street northwest, was taken sick near Florida avenue and 7th street last night about 10:30 o’clock. She was to n's Hospital by the police. A colored man named James Kenney, forty-six years old, was taken suddenly ill at Grant avenue and 9th street Saturday afternoon.

In Saturday’s battle Gen. Swaim was in command, his aid being Col. McGuire. The tmanded the Chicago forces, his aid being Col. Donahue, and they repulsed the in- vading army at ail points, the fire of Gen. Swaim being wild and ineffective, although his men landed eleven shots to the enemy's seven. Yet the shots of the invaders were ineffectual, and they were defeated, losing eight men and the Chicago forces but three. In yesterday's battle the respective forces were commanded by Gen. Mercer and Col. McGuire and Gen. Callahan and Col. Don- ahut. Gen. Mercer was So severely wound- ed before the battle was over that he was forced to retire from the field, Gen. Dono- Yan assuming command of the Washington forces. The latter officer fought bravely, but could not do more than to gather his men well together and retreat in good or- der. The support, or rather the lack of Support, on the part of Col. Wrigley was a matter of much disappointment, than-five errors being charged up against him. He landed, however, one effective shot, which destroyed three bases. The marksmanship of the invading army was very Spanish, but seven shots being land- ed. The Chicago forces, on the other hand, fired often and accurately, fourteen of their shots landing safely. The Washington army lost ten men and the Chicago defend- ers but three. Umpire Lynch's refusal to officiate at a game on Sunday placed nolly in supreme command, and during the contest he removed Dahlen from the field, Isbel lively, taking their pt: out for kicking on a decision clared Ryan out for in the fourth inning, and Lange departed from the field in the seventh for attempt- ing to be funny with the handler of the indicator. Mercer was very easy for the Colts, while Callahan was much of a puzzle to the supporters of the dark-haired Adonis. Donovan showed that he possesses much ceded but he was somewhat wild, giving two passes and tapping a batsman during his brief existence. The Washing- ton men did not score uitil the fourth inn- ing, when Selbach hit tp left for two bases, went to third on Doyld's giit and home on Anderson’s long fly. ‘They got two more in the 8 eventh, ene Anderson and McGuire McGuire was caught irst, and When’ Anderson start- ed for third Everitt’s in, the Washington keeping on ‘don the error.

He got balls everywhere and really saved the game himself twice. The Senators can give the Orphans a few lessons in scientitle batting. In the first inning Wrigley muffed a throw made by McGuire to catch Lange, but Connelly called “Bill” out on the ground that he intentionally knocked the ball from the shortstop’s hands. Good a player 2s Al Selbach is, he wou!d be still better if he would cut his grand stand posing and alleged funny business out of his daily left field sketch. Isbell made a sad mistake on Wagner in the first. He had the new Senator struck out and falling down after curved balls and then floated a curve through the heart of the plate. A triple resulted’ and gave Washington erough runs to win. Doyie’s interference with Connor, pre- venting the completion of a double play, had much to do with the scoring in the first inning at Chicago Thursday. It was pretty raw, ard the coacher’s yell, “Nice work, Jack,” was rawer yet. A funny thing about Thursday's game. It was McHale’s steal ‘and Dahlen’s failure to cover the beg that gave Washington enough runs to win. McHale stole in a strange, weird way. It now develops he thought the umpire had called a balk and started tu walk down. Geitman and Doyle hit the ball more skillfully than the other Washington pla: ers. Gettman beat out a bunt and Doyle placed two of his hits. The Washingtons look like a lot of cake walkers with their blazers on. The blazers are ornamented with longitudinal stripes of blue and white an inch wide. The blue, which aiso figures in trimmings of the suits, is of the brightest hue. Dahlen made a wonderful stop and throw in the first inning. The ball was hit by Doyle and was speeding for the outti Dahlen stopped it with one hand on the outer edge of the infield and made a per- fect wheeling throw to first. Doyle’s speed alone gained him a hit. The ball which caused the dispute that resulted in Dahlen being put out of thé game was foul. Wagner jumped across back of third and reached upon foul round. Dahlen came back toward the neh and said: “That ball was foul.” Without an instant’s hesitation Lynch yelled back: “Get out of the game.” Washington searching for talent - to strengthen its pitching corps yesterday secured Ray Evans of Columbus. Evans formerly pitched for Louisville. He pitch- ed a great game, defeating Chicago, then went back to Evansville, Ind. He broke up the Central League because the batters down there hit every ball he pitched over the fences. Criticism of the officials is not meant to detract credit from Weyhing, whose clean, fast pitching gave the Senators th victory, and would have given it with any umpiring. He had the Rainmakers com- pletely at sea with his fast benders and perfect control, and gave the tailenders their second victory over the Chicagos. The game was played with unusual briskness—one hour and thirty-five min- utes. The plays succeeded each other quickly and the pitchers lost little time in getting the ball in motion. Brown wore an expansive smile as he saw the game was his and the delight of his hitherto losing team was undisguised. THE POTOMAC BASS. Successful Efforts in Preventing Ile- gal Seining. Members of the Fish and Game Protective Association of the District are much grati- fied at the prompt action of Judge Kim- ball Saturday in the first case brought in court of a violation of the new fish law, which is designed to protect the fish in the Potomac within the limits of the District. It is believed that this action will have a salutary effect in preventing illegal seining in the future. The law, as some people suppose, does not prevent seining for legitimate purposes, for under its provisions the United States fish commissioner can issue permits to seine for bait. In order that he may not be imposed upon, however, it is announced that Com- missioner Bowers will issue such permits only upon applications approved by Mr. Richard Sylvester, warden of the Game and Fish Association. The officers of the District association earnestly invite the attention of the Mary- land authorities to the fact that bass are being caught in nets at Great Falls and at the mouth of Seneca creek, in direct viola- tion of the law, and state that they will be glad to aid them in the good work of pro- tecting the Potomac bass. They urge the necessity of prompt action. Saturday’s College Games. At Princeton—Princeton, 11; Cornell, 6 At Philadelphia—University of Pennsyl- vania, 3; Harvard, 2.

The request of the two universities that the date be made June 25, instead of June 23 or June 24, as originally agreed upon, was not granted. As a result arrangements for the race at New London for the coming spring considered broken and off, given up all hopes of racing with elther Yale or Harvard this year.

The Beautiful New «Grounds at the Highlands Appropriately Opened— Fine Arrangements for Sport. The Capital City Gun Club inaugurated its new shooting grounds at the Highlands, near Highland station, on the main branch of the Baltimore and Ohio road, Saturday afternoon, with a practice shoot. A large number of well-known local sportsmen were in attendance, and the occasion was a most enjoyable one. The entire assemblage was surprised at the beauty of the sur- roundings and the arrangements for the shooting and for the comfort and entertain- ment of those participating. The shooting grounds are immediately in front of the beautiful oak grove surround- ing the Highlands club house, and are ad- mirably equipped. The blind containing the five traps is situated on a perfectly level meadow of luxuriant grass, and the shooters stand in the shade, ‘the ciay pigeons being thrown against the nortn- eastern sky for a background. Back of the shooters’ line is a terrace rising several feet, grass clad and sunless, where seats for spectators are arranged. Messrs. Hay- den and Benton, the proprietors of the club house, have exerted every effort to make things pleasant for the sportsmen, and have provided the club with quarters where members may safely leave their shooting equipments. Many of the visitors Saturday went out on bicycles or in ve hicles, the roads leading to the Highlands from the city being excellently well key The shooting Saturday was at clay pigeon: unknown angles, and owing to the height of the trap blind the targets were not in view until at a distance considerably greater than is usual in such shooting.
