Baltimor Jincinnal lumly uisville. Sfonx City 8, Omaha 1. Toll the bell softly, the White Sox have taken another tumble. The Sioux warriors had on their war paint yestorday aftornoon, and it took them but one hour and fifteen minutes to flagellate the Omahas. % It was a remarkably short game—one of the shortest on record. And it was an interesting game, t0o, re- plete with the beauties and tho blomishes, and the glories and gautheries of the great national sport, and the audience couldn’t help but enjoy themselves—after a fashion. But don't repeat it—too much of this sort of enjoyment is apt to grow irksome. Crooks and Monk Cline added to the affray, moreover, a comedy element which spiced the entertainment until it was fit for the delectation of the Gods. But Sioux City won, hurts, Still, it is gratifying to be ablo to say that they didn't win easily. The Corn Huskers stocked up a mighty stout game, and a lucky one, whilo Omaha's was a triflo ragged, and they couldn’t bat worth a picayune. They hit the ball, though, mind you, as a rule, but somehow or other it alwa ys went straight to one of the aboriginal g alaxy. Nichols and Webber both pitched in ad. mirable form, the latter getting, in a small way, the best of it. The audience was very large and very quiet. ‘The grand stand was packed and the bleachers a solid mass of faces, while innu- merable carriages and buggies encompassed the fleld. But let us seo how it all happened. Here's the sad tale: Omaha bats first. The French count thinks he sees one com- fng that suits him. But he is mistaken. The sphere rolls timidly down to nimble Mr. ‘Burke, avd he slams Joe out at first. ‘The president swung his sapling, the ball gew. but only to Bradley, who likewise fired into first, and Grover went off to condole Wwith Strauss. Crooks then laces out a safe one to left, and the crowd had half a notion to whoop + her up. But thoy had hardly time, for Web- ‘ber made a fine stop of Aundrews' slashin, drive, and ngain blondo Mr. Powell rooeived the ball and the side went out. The authropomorfic Cline ma kes his debut. He spits on his hands, bends baci until he almost sits on the ground, then bang! He scores a pretty single out toward Cauayan, Glenn braces himself, but *'ouch ! he gots & romst in the ribs. Then he trots to first and the chimpanzee runs down to second. A sulphurous smull pervades the air, but 8000 everything is lovely again. - Powell drives a vicious grounder to An drews and goes to the bench, Nichol throws Gening out_at first, and Cleveland does as gauch for Brosnun,' leaving Cline on third and Glenn on second. That was nice, wasn't 1t ! In the second, Cooney, Walsh and Cana- van wore extinguished 8o quickly that you could hardly see how it was done. And the Corn Huskers, too, were done up with equal acceleration. The oleaginous Nagle corks out a clover- p“wm' as_a way of an introduction in the third, but Nichols immediately f him out, and Strauss, by a fungo to Burke, suc- ceeds in doubling bimself up with the Kid, and again the White Sox are 1u the Mulliga- tawny. } ‘The Indians do better, for after Webber strikes out, Cline, by trémendous sprinting, aches bax No. 2 ou Canuvan’s misjudg- ont und muff of his long high fly. Glenn, ho fair-haired ex-bean eater, drives him omeon a neat singlo. Walsh throws the mext two men out and the score stands Sioux 1, Owaha 0. % Again it was ono, two, three for Selee's ,pots in the fourth, and again the Sioux raves get another scalp. After Brosnan and Burke had been rotired at fivst, Bradloy, ‘he of the perennial grin, made u hit, lo's wild throw lets him to third, und the Kid's wide pitch, ucross the Fubber. That was bad ! In the next inning Omaha made her one dittle lily-bird of a tally. Cooney smashes out a two-sacker, and the leachiig boards fill the summer 'air with and that's what suddenly hushed, however, as ‘Walsh retires on a high fly to the Monkey, Then Canavan, us if to get even for his la- auentable muff, lines out a single, and Tunmy comes trotting home. Canavan makes a great steal of sccond, but is | #t first and Nichol on & sky-scraper to Glenn, Young Burke, who is one of the finest phort-stops in the business, varies his fine ‘Work in the sixth by muffing the count's pop-up. But the mistake counts nothing Bfter all, for on Cleveland’s hit the two runners ure doubled up like a jack-knife. Bradley throw Crooks out, and the golden opportunity was lost. " 'Coru Huskers are speedily dis- of. In the seventh not a single pair of white Jogs saw first. Aundrews and Cooney wero getired on long, beautiful horse flies to Glenn, and Burke threw Walsh out at first, ‘The brawny warriors from up the river re again, aud everybody saw that the pig as up, awfully up. Ancient Mr. Bradley opens up with his second bit, and reaches second on Crotly's mttempted bunt. Webber lambastes the ::;mn ayphers for the second time, and it ked as if Brud would get left. But sad w0 relate, he dido't, Loose jointed Cline happens ulong with his cond safe drive, and the old-time dead arm teher crosses the plate. uo:‘r r‘lui ads the innin, The White b“ox do nothing in_the eighth, sad the Indians do the same. Powell, after ung to first on Crook's fumble, and s are doubled up by a fino stop of the ! JKid's, and his throw to Walsh and t‘l sh's Audrews, Waish also threw Hrosnan out second, but Glenn's out »t ‘Fhe Omahas came in for their last, with a d‘ ravenous look in thelr eyes, but that 't amount to shucks. Wild,' ravenous «Jooks are not a very potent factor in piling runs in a game of base ball. Btrauss flew out to Burke and old Buffalo Genius, aud the audience began 10 wove jectedly toward the exit, But when Web- . just to proloug their suspense & fow snoments more, gave Jack Crooks bis base = s, the only one of the gawme, they all lown agaln. Ihen Geulns muffed Audrews' sbort fly, ana_eyerybody felt just like howliag, but they wore afraid of breaking the spol® Coonay broke it for them. Ho droye a long fly out to Glenn and of course Glenn squeezea it. The game was over and Omaha was beaten. The score: OMATA. Ab. m b, 8. an. « 4 > = S~osccwmo? Strauss, rf, b. Crooks, 2b. ...

The Sloux City's and Omahas play their second game at the local park this afternoon, and the prospects for another interesting gamo aro good. The Sioux Citys are show, ing up wonderfully strong, and it will keep the White Sox guessing to_take a ball from them. The game will be called at 8:30 sharp, 80 go early and avoid the rush.

A gamo of ball played between the M. B, Smith & Co. and Kilpatrick-Koch Dry Goods company base ball nine at the South Omaha park, yesterday, resulted in the Smith's wiping up the ground with the Ki'patricks. Score, 25t09. The game made up in en- thusiasm what it lacked in science. The principal features were, as in former games, the coaching of Burgees and the tremendous batting of Dorsey, Dorsey is positive that if the ball is pitched easy enough he can knock it over any fence in the United States. Notes on the Game. Burke, at short, is a honey-cooler. £eMonk Cline is the luckiost man fn ths pro- osh. Go out this afternoon and see the Corn Huskers annihilated. Manager Selee was as sore as a’bear with a sore head last night. George Washington Bradley put up one of his sixteenth century games. Owmaha's errors werc extremely costly, while Sioux City’s cost notning. Sandy McDermott umpired a perfect uu|10. He is one of the best umpires in the [and. A good many patrons of the game would like to see Jacik Messett on the turf a little oftener, Andrews’ batting is woefully weak just now, and his throwing poor. Wally isn’t in good condition.

CnicaGo, May 15.—(Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—The prediction of bicyclists was verified tonight, when Ned Reading, the soldier boy from Fort Omaha. fimshed first in the six-day professional bicycle contest av the exposition building. His steady, plucky work has been regarded with much favor all along, and many have said he would be up in front at the finish. Early in the evening Readig, who was a lap behind Wilbur F. Knapp, of Denver, made a magnificent spurt, and, passing Knapp, soon left the latter a lap behind. The positions thus gained were maintained to the end. When Reading dashed past Knapp he was greeted wilh thunders of applause. The finish, while very good, could hardly be called exciting, the men being unearly exhausted by their hard work, as most of the time the weather has been Io‘?mulveli warm. Therefore, while the iug was hard, there was not much spurt- ing toward the close, Reading's effort belng practically the last. Knapp claims that he was beaten by being kept in & pocket by the other riders whilo Reading was spurting, but not many can be found who take sides with buu, Schock has virtually beew out of the race for two days past on account of the iujuries he recely falls, and he looked very poorly ut tho inish, ‘early 15,000 people were in attendance to-day and this eVening.

Lord Walter is brave and determines to solve the ghostly mystery. He sends to London for soldiers and disguises thewm as femule ser- vunts. Oue night Lady Penclope, a sister of Lord Walter, sces the ghost, and rushing into the room, relates the legend of the cas- tle, which is to the effect that many years ago the lovely ludy Anne was murdered while singing hier infant to sloep, and her ghost still haunts the spot, always singing a lullaby. After much search and investiga- tion Walter finds that the strange noises and wierd sights are occasioned by a band of smugglers, who nightly held revel in the ruined part of the castle.

The inaugural ceremony yesteraay must be recorded as a great success in every way. There is a seating accommodation for 12,000 at Neuilly. There were 15,000 prosent at the opening performance. It 18 difficult to be 00 strict as to the exact number of persons who secured admission on one ticket at the complimeatary performance. Notwithstand- ing all the good will and tact exercised by the stewards yesterday, there must have been thousands standing. The passages to tho different stands bore a striking re- somblance to the promenade at the hippo- drome Friday ovenings. Tn fact, the num- ber of persons standing in front of the boxes considerably interfered with the view of the occupants. The official programme pub- lished in the Herald yesterday was closely followed. McLane arrived, accompanied by the boys in blue. At 2:80, precisoly, the president of the republic, accompanied by Mme. Carnot, General Brugere and Colonel Lichtenstein, arrived at the vrivate Rate, which was thrown open for their ocarriage. The mayor of Neuilly, Crawford and Nate Salisbury wera waiting to reccive them. Brugere told Crawford that as the president would not be able to remain long on account of another appoiutment, he. and Mme. Carnot would prefer to visit the camp before taking seats. The presidential party walked through the camp. The Indians were already behind the scenes ready for action. The fifty tents were empty, but Carnot examined them with in- terest and asked questions respecting the mode of living of the inhabitants. At the entrance to the tribune the president was re- celved by Minister McLane, who conducted him and party to boxes, tastefully decorated Wwith tri-colored bunting. Tirard, president of the council, had arrived previously with Spuller, minister of foreign affairs. The United States marines, commanded by Captain Cochrane, marched across the arena and took places behind the American commissioners to the exhibition. As soon as the president had taken his seat the Rich- mond orator explained in capital French the performance. The whole troupe defiled be- fore the president, the names of the chiefs being announced by the orator. Last but not least came Buffalo Bill, who rode like the wind on a beautiful ground gray mus- tang and stooped in splendid fashion before the presidential box to salute. The Ameri- can flag, carried around by an old Indian fighter, elicited a hoarty round of applause. Then the show began. The French, always great admirers of anything connected with horses, wore loud in their applause at the marvelous riding of the Indians and cow boys. Annio Oakley came in for shearty cheers as she shot glass balls that were thrown into the air. The attack on the caravan of emigrants and that oa the Deadwood coach were wit- nessed with immense interest by the audi- ence. Many of the French portion had never seen such a realistic performance be- fore. Carnot had invited McLane to remain m his box, and before he left expressed the great interest he had taken in the per- formance and his intention of returning at an early date to see it again, Mme. Carnot took a lively interest in the whole thing and continually asked McLane for explanations of certain details which she did not quite understand. During the afternoon Carnot asked McLane to present Mr. White- law Reia. The outgoing American minister want to the box in which his successor was sitting, in company with Miss McLane, and conducted Mr. Reid to the presidential box. After the presentation, Carnot remained some time in conversation with the new minister, who will not be officially presented until next week. The president remamned until after the buffalo hunt and then left quietly by a private door in order not to dis- turb the audience. After the performance the immence audience streamed slowly out into the picturesque camp and examined the tents. The occupants of Buffalo Bill's tent were maturally the center of at- traction. Cody held almost an open reception in the camp. Cody received the Kguests with easy urbanity, whick indicates familiarity with people of high degree. During the day the Herald correspondent, the French general and other army oficers, ofticials of many grades and prominent mem- bers of the American society passed in quick succession. Colonel Cody had an sppropriate greeting for everyone, - Some of the pretti- est members of the Amecricun colony were there, helping the colonel through with the interyiews with those visitors who could only speak Fre Buffulo Bill said to the Herald correspondent that as far as he was concerned he was more than pleased with the opening. He only hoped that the public would appreciate it. Miss Annie Oakley, the champion rifle shot, bad quite a court of admirers. When asked what she thought, she said: “‘Iam delighted with the reception, but I am so bungry that I must go to dinner. [ was a little nervous for the first time in Krance, but I feel that I have so many friends that I shall do better than 1 haver ever done be- fore. Major Burke, general muanager, was eloquent. He had spotted olored hand- kerchiefs in honor of the French republic and escorted the chosen band of Americans and Engiish journalists around the camp. Major Burke was highly amusing in explain- ing to an Italian journalist wi understood a litte French that the object of the show was not 1o present a cirous performance, but to give a true pic- ture of American frontier life with the real characters who bad played a part in the his- tory of a portion of the American continent which would soon be @ thing of the pust. “Even the buffaloes,” said the major, “'are the last of a race. In a few years they will live but in history, This is only why our show is of real interest.

WasmiNeTox Burrau, Tie OMAnA Bre, } 518 FOURTERNTA STRRET, ‘Wasmixarox, D, C., May 18, It is said that Commissioner Tanner in- tends to establish an entirely new division in hisoffice, At the prosent time the cluims of soldiers go to different examiners, according to the state to which the soldier was as signed when he entered the servite of the government. It has been the custom for all examiners to hasten what are called original cases (at the expense of the applicant) for an increase of ponsion. The result is that while the original cases ure well up, the claims for mcroase are far behind., Commissioner Tanner proposes to have one division in his office devoted entirely to increase claims, no matter what may have been the original res idence of the applicant. It is believed that this course will have a decided effect in hastening to final action cases, which in some instauce, have been delayed as long as three or four years, THE SUMMER SOJOURN. Mrs. Harrison has svent the past week in busy preparation for leaving the whito housa for the heated season. The executive mau- sion has been thoroughly overhauled, the woolen carpets and curtains have every- where been replaced by matting, ofl cloth and linen shades. Mr. J. McKee, the presi- dent’s son-in-law, will arrive from Indian- apolis next weei 'to ussist in removing his family to Deer park and in establishing them there comfortably for the summor. Tho jaunt down the Potomac that was postponed on account of the death of Mr. Allan Thorn- dike Rice who was a personal friend of the president and of the secretary of state, will probably occur next week. Secretary Blaino had invited the members of the diplomatic corps to meet Sir Julian Pauncefote, the new British minister and it was to be, and will be, the event of the week in which it occurs. As socicty sees more and more of Sir Julian Pauncefote has more and more oceasion to congratulate itself upon the really valuable acquisition to its circles. In private life Sir Julian is found to be an interesting man. He is a good talker and 18 not a bad raconteur. He can stand upon his dignity with a grand air, but as a rule he is courteous to affability and kindliness. He is scen to the best advantage after dinner, when the strams of music are heard in the drawing room. He is a tech- nical musician of high quality for an ama- tour. Whother Washington society will make the most of the British minister’s social qualities remains to be seen, but cer- tain it is, as he has repeatedly expressed his opiuion of it, that he looks forward with much pleasure to his term of residence in a country whero he has ulready many a close friend. A very unique case. under the postoffico department, will come up before the United States court in this district shortly. Yes- terday the postoffice inspectors arrestod Charles D. Poston, who was formerly a del- egate in congress from Arizona, Mr. Poston i charged with using the frank of Senator Stewart, of Nevads, and Delegate Smith, of Arizona, for sending out nowspapers. He waived examination and was_committed to bail. This is the first case which ever came before the courts for criminal procecdings against & man for using a congressional frank for defrauding the mails, and the out- come will be watched with a_great deal of interest. Poston’s friends can not under- stand why he descended to this petty species of fraud. APPEALS AND DECISIONS, No man in the last administration received s0 much merited abuse us William A.

Commissioner Sparks rejected the final proof of Ward on his pre- emption declaratory statement for the south- cast quarter of Section 30, township 31 n, range 48 w 10 the Chadron district of Ne- braska. Ward proved that he had with all the requirements of th hud taken up the land, hud resided upon iv continuously, had spent several hundred dol- lurs upon improvements, had broken up the required number of acres of laud, and had earned the money to make these improve- ments by working av his trade, in the town of Chudron. Sparks rejected his_final proof Ro16ly upon the ground that his wifo und u children_did not_live on the place. Ward proved that his wife rad declined to foilow bim from towa simply because sho desived 10 educate her children, and found the facili ties in her old home in the Hawkeye state greater than were offered 1n the compara- tively uew settlement in the vicinity of “her husband’s home. Sparks held that because Ward's wife continued to reside in Iowa that therofore his cntry was fraudulent, Assistant Secretary Chandler tukes an entirely different view, He finds that the mun has complied with all the requircments of the law and that e pre- empted the claim in perfect good faith.
