formerly. Washington had the game
well in hand yesterday until the seventh
inning, and it looked as though the

hit and home run gave them runs. In

Amateur Ball Gossip.-The Olympics
and the Pallas met yesterday at Olympic
Park, and the former won by a score
of 10 to 10. The Pallas nine was de.
feated. The defeat was an honorable one,
and they played splendid uphill game.
The Pallas by placing Roberts in the box
in the first inning made great mistake,
as the Olympics pounded out runs of
his delivery. A change of pitchers was
made and Homiller was put in; the tide
turned and the score was soon a tie
Shoemaker of the Olympics was put in
the e'box in the place of Fowler in the last
3lnnings and he proved too much for the
Pallas as they failed to hit him. Stanley
of the Pallas made home run, and Ho

nine has suffered this season........ The

Synopsis of the Hemphill Bill Intro
duced Yesterday.


The bill introduced by Mr.. Hemphill
yesterday TO purchase square ls0 for the
City Postoffce and District buildings is
drawn up somewhat after the style of the
Richardson bill. As stated in THE Critic
yesterday, it provides that the District
Commissioners and the City Postmaster
be appointed commission to purchase
the square or so much thereof as may be
needed. If the price asked by the owners
is excessive, they shall have the power at
The expiration of thirty days to enter pro-
ceedings in the District Supreme Court
fer the condemnation of the property.
The commission is not to pay in the ag-
gregate for the site named more than
100000, the amount appropriated. The
bill embraces eight sections, the last Sec
ton requiring that report embracing a
detailed statement shall be made to Con-
gress at the commencement of the next
session.
The commission have no power TO se-
lect any other site, nor has the selection
of the site TO receive the approval of the
President. The property lies between
Fifth and Sixth streets and Louisiana ave-
nuesand Il street.
The Richardson bill is regarded by all
who have read IL to be the best measure
yet introduced, and Mr.. Hemphill's bill
will not interfere with its favorable re-
Ception.

They View the Industrial Exhibit nj
iIn RInIl

Aiit hinhs
The public schools were closed to-day
in order that the teachers might attend
the industrial exhibition at the E-Street
Rink. The front part of the hall had
been arranged to seat 500 of them and
every chair had its occupant, while many
stood in the aisles and about the walls.
Teachers in embryo were represented in
the Normal School pupils.
In the centre of the hall, and directly
in front of the audience, platform
framed in palm trees had been placed.
At 10 o'clock Superintendent Powell
mounted this, and, rapping the assembly
to order, made q few remarks ON the ex-
