He CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD.

RECORD OF THE WEEK.
Friday night came with the weekly record OF
two victories and three defeats for the Statesmen.
This is above average and hence is rather sat-
isfactory. In New York on Monday the game went
10 the Giants, 300. Whitney pitched, but was
ineffective, and the Senators nelded poorly On
Gilmore was batted hard. The score was IL to 2
The bad luck OF the whole trip was compensated
Tor by the great work OF the Statesmen on We'd
nesday, when they dOwned the leaders twice.
They played such game as Will win ball from
any team, and the work Of the pitchers ODay
and Daily, was far above the average. On Thurs
day the grounds were wet and yesterday was q
Waterloo. No sane person would have expected
10 see Arson leave Washington without VIC
tory but no one thougn5 that the
grumbling because Whitney was not put in to
pitch, out 1t is to be remembered that he has just
recovered from severe illness and is also suffer-
ing from the effects OF being hit in the breast in
Pittsburg. 1t is thought, however, that he has
about recovered and he will probably pitch to-
Detroits, and unless the men indulge In some
more playing like that OF yesterday, they have a
chance OF taxing three. There has been great
improvement In the clubs batting since coming
East. During the past week The senators have
made "a hits against 80 by their opponents,
a better showing IMAM any other week since the
season opened.
Daily was called to Providence yesterday by the
death OF relative. He is expected back on
Monday.

Social Entertainments az the Capital.
Mrs. Gen. Logan. IL the Am. Mag Tor June.
Social entertainment In Washington differs from
that OF any other city In the country, on account
OF the cosmopolitan character OF the people who
reside in the capital city, and the interest that is
shown In all they say and do In no city are there
% many elements that can be combined 10 make
the social feature OF life brilliant and pleasant.
Every state sends her representative men ana
ana women; all nations send theirs And while
the title ambassador Is not heard among the diplo-
mats Il makes no difference in the personnel OF
the ministers, VINO must be men or the highest
character TO sustain the dignity OF their countries
Ministers who have stinguished themselves In
the diplomatic service OF this country have been
promoted 10 the title OF ambassador, ana trans
ferred places less pleasing 10 them than the Re
public OF America Willie The absurd Idea that
foreign ministers 10 this great republic represent
the person OF their sovereign obtains great nJus-
ticc will be done 20 them and also 10 our represen-
tatives abroad The representative OF the very
smallest kingdom outranks an American minister
In diplomatic courtesy at foreign courts because
this ID republic, while they must sustain roy atty
no matter how in1nitestmal the kingdom. Foreign
ministers. however, after coming here are not
long In recognizing the importance OF our country
and In no sense under-rate us either socially or
politically. Their duties are very light and they
really have little else 70 DO but 70 enjoy the Inter-
change OF courtesy In society.

at was as good as I would have seen in any
other city where they have National Guard.
When you take into consideration the fact that
the boys had never been together before think it
was wonderful; but by far the greatest feature OF
the parade was the excellent way in which the
boys stood the long marching"
One result Of the parade on Decoration Day has
been to very largely increase the number of enlist
mentS The young men who have been waiting
are now satisfied That the National Guard is per-
