We DO not know, but for long years the

The striking was in the same unmistake cable
loud, clear tone. A few days more and the
Old gentleman Joined his devoted wife, who
had preceded him to the sother shore a
lew years before, under tho same strange
circumstances.
This strange and deadly striking of the
old clock was the subject of comment for
Meeks and months. Not great while after
ssnls, the young man Yves startled and bo.
3wndered to notice the striking of the same
deadly monitor, and quick as thought he
took the clock down and laid it fat upon the
floor, saying, "you struck out fathers and

Of the Gospel.
Let's watch the clocks. They are.striking
out our dcstinies every day and every hour.

About three hundred people sat on the
benches at Capitol Park yesterday afternoon
and watched rather interesting and enjoyable
game of ball, which resulted in a creditable
victory for the home team through their excel
lent base-running timely hitting, and above all
their judcious sacrificing when men were on
the bases. There were seven of these hits made
yesterday and all of them helped materially to
make the seven runs that the Washingtons
secured. 1t was unquestionably the best exhi-
bition of all-around playing the team has given
this year. The game was long drawn out and at
times dragged. The Washingtons presented
Phillips and Riddle as their battery
and the good old-reliable stand-by's
played an exceptionally strong game,
despite the poor judgment of Umpire
Kelly in calling as balls what should have been
strikes. Phillips was at times hit hard, es-
pecially in the fifth inning, when the Newarks
made three three-baggers and single. Gleason
played good game at short, and captured
everything knocked his way, one of his quick
returns to Riddle at the home base to catch
Childs being mastery. Jordan played a good
game in left field. Bader made a beautiful
throw in from centre field and caught Mansell
at home plate, while Bird made two beautiful
catches in right that saved the home team from
defeat. Hill batted well, while the base-run-
ming of Bader was the most marvellous exhibi-
tion ever given in this city, he securing five
clean and ng-sliding steals during the con-
batting being the leading feature. Smith at
short played splendid game accepting all the
chances sent his way. The score in detail is as
follows:

ATHLETICS AND ROWING.

The refusal of the Columbia Athletics to Join
forces with the Analostan and Potomac clubs
for the purpose OF arranging for Joint Poto-
mac River regatta has not dampened the ardor
of the other organizations. They are fully de-
termincd to go ahead and make the affair a
success. To that end meeting will be held
the early part of the present week and the de-
tails mapped out. The idea, as advanced by
one of the Analostans, is as follows: "The
committee to be vested with full power from
their respective organizations to arrange all
details, to organize themselves into Potomac
Navy, elect commodore, who shall hold the
office for one year or until his successor is
chosen, and thereby place the clubs of the
river on firm foundation for future as we'll as
the present regatta. The clubs that will com
pose this navy will be the Analostans and Po-
tomacs for the present, with prospect of the
Old Dominions, of Alexandria, also Joining
When the navy is thus formed everything else
will be plain sailing, the expenses Of re-
gattas, etc, will be a triting consideration"
A prominent Potomac man laughed at the
article in the Post, stating that owing to the
Columbias declining to affiliate there would be
no regatta. "There will be a regatta" he said
land it will be an invitation affair, with such
crews in as the Tritons and Passaics, of New
York; Atalantas and New York Athletics, Yes
pers, Ionas, and Pennsylvania, of Schuylkill
Navy; Fairmounts, of Philadelphia; Staten
Islands, Bradfords, of Massachusetts; Arlels
and Neptunes, of Baltimore while Psotta, the
American champion, and great admrer of
the Potomac Club, will make his first American

TENNIS.

Interest in tennis the past week was inter
rupted on account of the extreme heat. On
Friday, however, play was generally resumed
and the courts were well filled with players.
The project to institute friendly contests be-
tween Washington and Baltimore has not yet
assumed definite shape, but it is expected ar
rangements will shortly be made for an inter-
urban series of matches. Mr.. McCawley has
practically stopped playing until fall, but if
these matches are arranged between Baltimore
and Washington he will again take up his
racquet. Mr.. Woodward is seldom seen on the
courts, as he is now resident of Linden, Nd
Mr.. Byrnes, who defeated Mr.. Boag for the
championship of Capitol Hill last week, has
again resumed playing. Mr.: Painter is
comparatively a newcomer in the tennis
arena, but his play indicates that there is
mettle in him of superior character, which will
put to serious test the prowess of our best
players. Mr. Borden has just returned from
Narragaansett, where he left his family, and is
again at the nets, as are also Messrs Davidson,
Metcalf, Spofford, Willoughby, Stockbridge,
Kaufman, Sheibley. and Wooten.
The present week will witness a revival in
local tennis interests, If the weather is not too
warm.
