Baseball Comment.

Philadelphia hit Barr freely yesterday,
making sixteen base.hits. Washington
could do nothing with Daley, making only
three base-hits. Baker caught, aud had
three passed balls and one error. AS usual
the fielding of the home nine was creditable,
the errors being made by Paul Hines,
Knowles and Barr. The home nine must
improve its battery. Score 12 to 8 for Phlla-
delphia.

AT special church meeting Of one OF the
East Washington Baptist churches one
night this week, the flock were taken by
surprise 10y an announcement made by the
pastor. Notwithstanding the embarrassment
on HIS part and the surprise on their part,
everybody was equal to the occasion. The
result was n leave OF absence granted the

O'Bricn's Anti Monopoly show.
On Monday night John O'Brien's circus
and menagerie, which lately turned the
heads Of ninety thousand people every
week In Philadelphia, and met with like
success in Baltimore during the past week,
will take possession of the Capitol Park
baseball grounds and open out its spacious
portals to the admiring gaze Of Washlngto-
mans for the balance OF the week. Never
before in the history Of circus management
was such a stupendous show seen mt such n
ttiiling price OF Enthusiastically ten cents;
twenty-five cents extra will secure II choice
reserved chair. How such n world OF at
fractions can be afforded at such q price is
wonder TO everybody. Mr.. O'Brien eX-
plains II by saving the enormous expenses
street pageant I'm modest proportions, Civ
ing the public the full benefit In the wav Of
firstclass circus and menagerie at prices
which insure daily attendance of nearly
twenty thousand people. At all events Il
seems to have proven a big success In the
cities thus far visited
The manager hopes to receive a like
recognition In the National Capital. There
is 10 doubt that he will be gratiiled The
idea Of twelve elephants for less than cent
apiece Is something unheard OF before In
the history of amusements under canvas.
The circus is given in a single ring, where
the Jokes and witticisms OF the half dozen
clowns can be distinctly heard aud enjoyed
hy everybody The manager very properly
asks, "Wby Introduce three or four rings,
ask spectators to convert their optics into
Kaleidoscope, sud bring order out OF
confusion of gliitcrlng generalties7' The
one-rlDg feature is infinitely better and more
satisfactory. A circus Ia a circus the world
over. One ring, filled with frst-class
artists, is In every way superior, each act
being critically observed and fully enjoyed
by both children and grown people.

There is not any mercantile house in the
United States having a more honorable
record than the old-established dry goods
firm Of Messrs. W. W. Burdette IL Co.
This house was established over a quarter
Of century ago, and during that period it
has witnessed the rise and fall Of numerous
firms in the dry goods and other branches of
trade. Like all commercial houses that have
risen to distinction and eminence, Messrs.
w. w. Burdette & Co. have made good
faith their chart, fidelity their compass
and integrity their guiding star. Hence,
the success, the honors, which the firm has
won.
