Mnzarf Inst NIGHT.

Professor j. Carroll Chandler made his
initial bow before Richmond audience al
the Mozart last evening.
The piano solo Transcription Bril-.
liante," by Rubensten, is Il composition
which requires an almost faultless tech.
niQue, and is we'll calculated to test the eX'
ecutiye powers Of any musician.
To say that Professor Chandler succeeded
in establishing himself at once in favor with
the audience would be but mild criticism
His playing was marked with brilliancy
and artistic finish, and il did not take lon2
for the large and cultivated audience pre-
sent to recognize the fact that IN artist was
before them. Professor Chandler possesses
great power OF execution, and the changes
from forte to piano passages were giyer
with a delicate expression, showing deptl
OF feeling equal toa song without words.
At ITS conclusion he was greeted with {
round OF applause, and in response to re
call gave unique rendering OF Robin
Adair," playing with the left hand only
Professor Chandler fully sustains the
reputation that has been accorded him, and
il las has been suggested he should decide
to establish college OF music in Rich
mond, his talent and services would be &
valuable acquisition to our city, and be
highly appreciated and patronized by on
music-loying people.
A thorough college OF music is really
needed in Richmond. Now that we have
an opportunity of having it, with an artist
director, our citizens should not be un
mindful Of either fact or opportunity.
Professor Chandler will give an organ
recital this afternoon at > O'Clock, which
will no doubt prove an enjoyable treat tc
those present.

Fully two thousand persons were on the
grounds. a pleasing feature OF the Occa-
sion was the presence OF quite large
number OF ladies, who watched the pro-
gress OF the game with the deepest inter-
est. Ferguson was presented with beau-
tiiul bouquet Of flowers. Powell played
first base without an error.
In the sixth inning the Newarks changed
pitchers, Becannon taking the place Of
Creeden, but the change was not advan-
tageous, as he and Murphy (catcher) did
not play well together, the result being a
number OF errors for the latter. The New
arks did a wonderful amount OF wild
throwing in the latter part OF the game,
which showed that they were greatly de-
moralized.
Hatfield. OF the Newarks, who attracted
so much attention on second base in We'd
nesday's game, was quite sick yesterday,
and consequently did not play. His place
was supplied by Errick, OF the "Our
BOYS" Club, Of Baltimore.
There will be no more games this week,
but several have been arranged for next
week, commencing on Monday.

The following cases were disposed OF
yeSterdav-Justice X. III. ISbell presiding
Alice Gray alias Hannah Strain (colored
was Jailed for thirty days for stealing one
lot OF wearing apparel from Mrs. Solomon
f. 5. Thol was fined 81 for striking
Emma Randolph with rock.
Thomas Dickerson (colored), charged
with houSebreaking. The case was con-
tinued till next Tuesday.
William Berry. charged with stabbing
James Hayes, William Priddy, and Mike
Hayes; also, charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons. Tine accused was sent to
the county for trial.
Mary Price (colorcd) was fined $3.50 for
assaulting and beating Fannie Scott.
W. A. WhlltOn, drunk. Fined $3.50.
The continued case OF l.. +. Mason
charged with maliciously stabbing DR.. w
L. Crutchteld, was taken up. Mr.. Mason
was represented by Judge W. w. Crump
Colonel John Il. Young, and Major A. Il
Courtney.
When The case was called DR.. Hugh NJ
TAYLOR, one OF the physicians attending
DR.. Crutchfeld, took the stand, and To
questions prOpounded by Mr.. 5. Il. Witt,
the Commonwealtlrs attorney, said that he
did not think there was any material
difference in DR.. Crutchfeld's condition,
and did not think he was out OF danger,
but the chances OF his recovery are in his
favor There is less discharge from the
wound. and he has had no setback within
the past day or two.
Mr.. Witt asked how long did he think
il would be before DR.. Crutchfield would
be able to appear IN court.
DR.. TAYLOR said he didn't think it fair
TO suppose that he would be out under
three or four weeks. The Doctor said that
DR.. Crutchfed was sitting up. and had
walked across his room once or twice.
There being no further questions, DR..
Taylor was told to stand aside.
MIR. Witt asked that the case be con-
tinued till the return OF Police-Justice
Richardson.
Colonel Young said that he could not
concur in that motion, either in its pro-
priety or IT'S necessity; that the physician
had just said there was steady improve
ment in the condition OF DR.. Crutchfield I;
that he had good appetite, was cheerful,
and slept well. and he insisted that the
case be proceeded with, as his client had
now been confined in Jail for month. He
could not see why it was the Common
wealth's Attorney wanted the case con-
tinued until DR.. Crutchtield was able to
appear; that surely the Commonwealth did
not depend upon DR.. Crutchfield to show
probable cause. As there were number
OF witnesses as well as spectators TO the
affair, he did not see the necessity OF further
delay and keeping his client on the grid
iron Of suspense.
Mr.. Witt had nothing to say in reply.
Justice Isbell announced that he would
adjourn the case for ten days.
This was objected to by the counsel for
the accused.
A conference was held between the coun-
sci for the accused and Mr. Wit, and II
was finally agreed to continue the case un-
ii! next Wednesday.
Mr.. Mason was then taken back to Jail.

LAST DIRECTIONS.


LAST DIRECTIONS.
Robert +. Potee was born at Cincinnati
fifty-three years ago, and for the past thirty.
five years has been gambler, writes the
Kansas City correspondent OF the Cleveland
Herald. His career was as checkered aS
his pantaoons. At one time he would fly
extremely high, every pocket being filled
with the current coin Of the realm. AT an.
other time it would be an extremely lively
hustle for the pole between Robert and hard
times. He made his d6bli-a mere boy-in
the old flush times on the eMisSiSsippi-those
davs when bowle-knife preceded the dea
and marked the sage" After few years
assiduous attention to details he became q
thorough master OF his profession, and was
known from st. Paul TO New Orleans rs O
holy terror with the cards" His name
was as good as the richest planter or most
prosperous merchant, and his commercial
paper never went to protest. But the wal
practically removed the poker-table from
the Mississippi steamer, and after a pro-
tracted starring tour East and North, Po-
tee located in Kansas City in 1870, open
ing faro-bank. From that time he made
his headquarters here, although he made
an annual pilgrimage East, and frequent
trips to Denver, Leadville, and other west
ern towns. Like all noted western men,
Potee gave the coroner OF the county
wherein he resided more or less oc-
cupation, being quick to resent any
insult. The last man he killed was
in Kansas City in 1871. Bill Noland,
a desperate character, had the termerity to
tempt fate by accus'-'~ Potee of dealing
"brace." He never. time to repent.
Two wears ago the kee. W OF gambling
house in Missouri was made penal offence,
and Potee moved his establishment over
into Kansas City, Kan. Business fell of,
luck was against the house, and from q
wealthy man Potee became poor. Last
Sunday he made inquiries as to the effect OF
suicide upon life-insurance policy-whe-
ther self-destruction would render the poll
cy void. Monday morning he went out
with friend for walk, and when they
separated Potee said q" II anything hap
pens, see that am buried in good shape"
The friend laughingly promised 10 do so,
and the gambler proceeded to the bank Of
the Kaw river, removed his coat and vest,
placing his gold-bowed spectacle in his
coat pocket, and dropped in. lie was
found three hours later.

BASEBALL.
Big Day for the yirginins-They Defeat
the Newarks by Score of 10 to 0-Largc
Attendance.

Yesterdays game between The Newarks
and Yirginias was complete surprise to
everybody. There was every reason TO be-
lieve that the contest would be close and
exciting, but instead the Newarks, not
withstanding their splendid performance
OF Wednesday, met with a stunning
defeat, failing during the entire after
noon TO make run, while their opponents
scored 13. The Virginias came out
wonderfully at the bat, and fairly knocked
the cover off Creeden's balls. Glenn,
Nash, Schari, Powell, Ford, and Ferguson
each made thrce-base hits, while the others
were fully up to the standard. Up to the
fourth inning the game was quite interest
ing. but after that-the score standing 3 to
0 In favor OF the Virginias-the visitors
broke completely down, and were entirely
at the mercy OF their opponents. While
the Virginia nine, without exception,
played well. it will not be out OF place to
make special mention of Ferguson and
Morgan. Both were in fine trim and fairly
outdid themselves. Ferguson never pitched
better, and was fully sustained behind the
bat by Morgan. TO them is largely due
the magnitude OF the victory.
The following is the score:
