THE QUEEN OF. THE RosE.TREE.

As climbed up to gather some roses,
From our beautiful rese- trees crest,
What should find, half hid III the boughs,
But a mother. bird on he est:
As proudly she sat as queen on her throne,
4 Peeping out through the blossoms .atime;
But where in the wide world was ever queen
So gai.y enthroned as she? IS
In a palace of rosewood she reigns with her
king,
And rose-damask covers the walls:
And a velyet-like curtain Of petals of pink
Over window and doorway falls
She dreamily broods DER her four tiny eggs
In silence, too happy to sing;
While, telling his love in tremulous trill,
Beside her, on guard, stands her king

The Rnsh To the Circus,

At eight o'clock last evening the tremendous
stretch Of canvas belonging to Cooper & Bailey Is
Circus was packed with 1900 delighted and
enthusiastic men, women and children. The
order was issued to stop selling tickets at that
hour, and II was estimated that at least 1000
people were turned away Inside the tont the
sight was one long to be remembered. A vast
sea of faces gladdened the hearts of the man
ayers and cheered the performers to extra ex-
ertions. Congress, the army, diplomatic corps,
and strangers from all parts of the country
helped make up the crowd. As the various
acts were given in the arena IL was hard to
control the multitude but by constant efforts
on the part of the ushers every one was al
lowed to sec what was transpring. The riding
was unquestiOnably the first order, the gym
nastic portion OF the entertainment very sue
cessful. and the juggling unique.
Without doubt, however, the performance
given by herd of trained elephants eXcollcd
anything ever witnessed in this city. Under
the supervision of their trainer, Professor
George Arstingstall, they.performed military
tactics with the skill aud precision of veteran
soldiers. AT the word of command they pre-
scented q com pany front, dOgble and single file,
right about and front face, ana for n .fnale
formed pyramid which caused the spectators
to testify their appreciation by round after
round of unstinted applause. 1t was hard to
believe that these immense brutes could be
rendered so dOcilc but their trainer did not APP
pear to think he was doing anything wonderful,
it being mere child's play" as he expressed
it. This feature Of the show is alone worth
the price of admission. This afternoon aud
evenings performances conclude the stay OF
the circus and no ono should fail to be present
at one OF them.

The Nationals First Defeat-The Game with
fI,o Capttat Citv Nina

The Nationals First Defeat--The Game with
the Capital City Nine.
The largest gathering of the season was that
assembled yesterday afternoon on the National
grounds to witness the baseball match be-
tween that club and the Capital Citys, of Al.
bany, n. Y. 1t had been previously predicted
that the contest would prove close and exclt.
ing one, and the prophecy was fulfilled. The
Nationals, by their recent successes, have
gained strong hold with the patrons
of the sport, and began to be looked
upon as invincibe Before they arrived It
was known that the Capital City was strong
nine and one difficult to defeat. 1t was se-
lected with care, and In composition embraces
some of the best men in the profession.
Knowing these facts the Nationals went into
the game confident of success but neither at
the bat nor in the field did they deport them.
selves as at previous matches. Only eight
base hits were made against twenty.six in
the previous game, which is sufficient TO show
the sudden falling off in that respect. Another
strange circumstance is the fact that the best
and most reliable battors virtually did moth.
ing. Eight errors were chargeable to their
account, and they proved costly luxuries. One
by Trott and another by Ellick gave their ad-
versaries two runs. With the exceptions noted
these men and the remaining infeldcrs per.
formed good service. Holly captured long
fly in good style, and deserved the hearty ap.
plause returned him rs a com plimeut.
On the side of the Capital City Higham and
Manning exceled at the bat, and secured with
In one of half the base hits that the visitors
made. The errors counted up to six and be.
came costly, giving the Nationals all the
runs that they made.
A suggestion to Mr.. Higham, now acting
captain of the Capital City nine, might cause
him to recollect that spectators do not regard
the gentleman as sunk in the ba'l-player, but
that he can be both at the same time. As a
grumblcr and fault-fuder he can take the
prize but. what is worse still, he expresses
himself in such language as to bring down con.
demnation upon Mr.. Higham and to prejudice
the reputation of his club. His efforts at brow
beating and threatening were both noticed and
remarked upon yesterday, and lie made the
effort to dictate to the Nationals with the same
assurance as he commands his own nine. Ap.
