A TRAMp's LAST GALA drunken
tramp from New York visited several gro
Gerry stores last night and made calls for
drinks. and after swallowing the whiskey
insultingly remarked that he had no money
His last call was at Mr.. Harry Bateman's
store. After eating all he wanted, he in
formed the proprietor that he had no
money. Mr.. Bateman asked the man what
he came to his store and made purchases for
ifhc had no money, and informed him that
if he had asked him for something to eat he
would have given it to him. At these re-
marks the tramp became very indignant,
and raved around in manner that indicate
that he felt himself monarch of all he sur
veycd. Mr.. Bateman, however, took all his
hismonarchial ideas ofhm by striking him a
severe blow on the head with heavy stick,
which laid him out senseless upon the floor
Policeman Davis was sent for, and the
wounded man was hauled in wagon to the
station house, where DR.. Jones rendered the
necessary surgical assistance. Subsequent
ly Mr. 'Batcman was arrested and taken be-
fore the Mayor, who fined him SIS for strik-
ing the man instead of using the lawful
means at his command for Kidding himself
of obnoxious customers. The tramp, who
was all right this morning, will not soon
forget the lesson taught him by Mr.. Bate
man.

The ALEXANDRIA GUN CLUB.-The
Washington correspondent Of the Chicago
American Field writes
There is q feeling prevalent insomc parts
of the country that the events which wrought
such great changes in the Old Dominion du-
ring the last twenty-five years have chilled
the warmth of old time hospitality for which
Virginia's sons were SO noted. But if any Of
Your readers have such mistaken notions,
they would have been happily corrected
could they have looked in upon us us guests
of the Alexandria Gun Club. True hospital
ity was, and is, a prominent trait in Virgin
III character. Our club, the Capital City Gun
Club, of Washington, ID. e., went down by
invitation to visit the club at Alexandria last
Thursday We were met at the landing by
a delegation headed by Mayor Beckham,
and taken in omnibuscs to the fair grounds
where Mr.. Roberts, the president Of the
Alexandria Club, and the other members
arranged series of friendly contests at the
trap Informal matches were shot at glass
balls, smoke balls, clay and paper pigeons,
and many very good shots were made on
both sides. AS the number Of our shooters
exceeded theirs four TO one, it would hardly
be fair to publish the scores but the name
of b. II. Fowle, the genial secretary of the
Alexandria Club, should be mentioned as
the man who won and Wore the cake
After the shooting the Alexaadrians took
lis in hand, and kept us as willing captiycs
until the last train back toWashington They
entertained us with supper, college songs,
and camp yarns, and the flowing bowl and
calumet went round with joyful regularity.
They accompanied us to the train and cheer
cd us OIL, and in the same breath urged us
to "Come again. | can assure the readers of
the Amcrican FIeid, if any of them happen
to fall in with member Of the Alexandria
Gun Club during their shooting trips, they
will have found Il sportsman worthy to ';tc
to-" Mr.. William Wagner OF our club, has
just returned from Bradford, Pa. where he
captured first prize rs we all expected he
would do. He is lthllsiastic in his praises
of the sportsmcn of Bradford Mr.. f.. l..
Wills, also of our club, is having Il close race
with Mr.. Wagner for the championship of
the club J.E:Ii.

DISAPPOINTED MECIIANICS-Thc mem
hers Of Lafayette Lodge of Mechanics ex-
perienced great disappointment last night.
At the meeting Of the Lodge last week Il
commun' cation was received from Excelsior
Lodge: No. II, oflhc order. of Washington,
stating that the members of Excelsior lodge
would visit their Alexandria brethren last
night. Lafayette Lodge is IL large and pros
porous organization, and all the members
went to work to prepare a reception for the
visitors. a grand time was anticipated. 4
line banquet was prepared, and an excellent
programme of exercises was arranged.
The hall was brilliantly illuminated, and
the arrival Of the visitors was anxiously
awaited. After patiently waiting for some
time the committee appointed to escort the
visitors from the steamboat, wharf arrived
ut the Lodge room and reported that the
Washingtonians had not put in an appear
ance. This report cast Il gloom over the
assembled crowd. but still it was not
thought that the EXcclsioritcs would fail
altogether to meet i'm appointment
OF their own making. But they did,
and finally the Lafayette members, with
several members of Columbia Lodge. of
Washington, proceeded to discuss the await
i,'S u"hIue'. -NH cl!!oHiDlc llllc WAS nae, Dut
the Lafayette members, ut the conclusion of
the festivities, did not forget to pass reso-
luton thanking the Excelsior members for
the courteous manner in which they had
treated their Alexandria brethren l?) The
Lafayette members say that the next time
they arc fooled by Excelsior Lodge they
will not feel at all disappointed, for it
will then be all their fault. The Washing
tonians will have TO give Il good and rcl-
sOnablc excuse for their conduct before the
Alexandria Mechanics will prepare another
banquet for them.
