proceeding to ballot for delegate no nomi.
nation was made, each delegate being al
lowed to vote according to his choice. Upon

nous, after which the convention adjourned.
The District clubs, by sending the gentle
men above named to represent them In the

tion In the fraternity as ardent lovers of the
game.

urday, will come OF this afternoon. On
Tuesday the Jetiorsons will play the Colum-
bla base ball club on the Nationals grounds,
and on Thursday, Thanksgiving day, tho
Nationals will close their season by playing
a married against single nine, selected from
their best players.
A CLOTHES THIEF ARRESTED some
time past man has been going from one
boarding house to another throughout the
city, securing room for the night, and sud
denly disappear In the morning. An exam.
nation would invariably show that some one
OF the rooms Of the house had been robbed
OF clothing. A few days ago the room Of
Mr.. liable, in the American House, was
robbed by this party, who is next heard of a,
Thirteenth and Z streets. Here he robbed
the room Of Mr.. Bartlett OF q suit Of fine
black clothes, which he was successful In
getting of with. The thief is next heard
from at the house Of Mr.. Sewkirk, corner o.
Pennsylvania avenue and First street, wherI
he engaged q room for the night; and while
the boarders were at breakfast he entered
the room Of Col. G. W. Dunn, from whicl
he stole line black cloth coat and pants.
These cases were reported at police head
quarters, and yesterday Lieut.. Skippon Will
Detective McDevitt started out to flnd tn
thief. After prosecuting the search 70
some hours they got trace of their man, au,
finally were successful in arrcsting hin
coming out Of the alley between E and
and Tenth and Eleventh streets. Upo,
searching him Colonel Dunn's coat wa
found upon his person. The officers al
rested him and took him before Justice Har
per, who committed him to jail for hear
Ing. The thief gave his name as Frederick
Hubert, and acknowledged to Mr.. McDevit
that he had robbed the Grcason house and
Newkirk's, and also Informed him that the
clothing could be found.
He had upon his person a suit of heavy
winter clothes marked "Jake Klum," on the
watch pocket. Also white handkerchief
with red leaf worked In the corner. All oil
which are supposed to be stolen. Although
the articles stolen do not amount to much
still there are many gentlemen who would
be decidedly inconyenenced to find thel
wardrobe stolen, and 1t Is to be hoped thi,
thief will receive such q reward rs will be
warning to others Of the same ilk.
