NINTH DAY OF THE WASHINGTON
JOCKEY CLUB MEETING.

a GOOd.SiZed Crowd Notwithstanding tho
Raw WCather-Many Ladies Present
TO Witness the Gentlemen Riders
steeplechaso-Goods Sport Yesterday
Tips from the Track.
The weather was raw and biustery to-
day and in consequence the crowd that
watched the runners was considerably
smaller than usual, although the racing
was excellent. Notwithstanding the
chilly weather number of ladies were
present, attracted by tie steeplechase for
gentlemen riders. This was the social
event of the meeting and attracted large
number of society people.
The betting was brisk and the betting
ring was crowded by the men, who found
it the most convenient place to keep
warm. Six races were on the card five on
the flat and one over the hurdles and all
the fields were large.
Yesterdays Races.
First Race-Nlirabeau was thought to
be a good thing in this race and was well
played, although Lotion and Gypsey
Queen were fancied. Syracuse Jumped
into the lead at the start however, and
was never headed, winning by half a
length from Mirabeau, Gypsey Queen
third.
Second Race-Exclusion was made the
favorite, and the race was between her
and Coldstream, and she won by length
without urging, with Cutalong in third
place.
Third Race-L' Intriguante was the only
thing i'll the Potomac Handicap. Mabel
was also well played, especially for the
place, and a few thought My Fellow had
chance. Belisarius made the pace and
got off well in the lead, but coming into
the stretch the Morris filly ran away and
won handily, Mabel getting the place
from Belisarius.
Fourth Race-Oppressor was a big
favorite, although Nlnnoe was heavily
played. Thiers l., made the running and
was leading in the stretch, when he COM
menced swerving, and 0ppressor got the
decision by one and a-half lengths, Theirs
l.. second Our Own third
Fifth Race-Hercules was of course a
favorite Pat Oakley selling second. Della
ware led to the water Jump, when Pope
commenced riding and put Hercules to
the front, and he galloped home an easy

COMMENCING WORK
ON THE NEW FOURTEENTH STREET
CABLE RAILWAY.

The First Rail viii be Laid Next Mon
day Many Difficult Feats of En-.
gineering to be Performed in the
Stringing of the Cable Around
Curves.
On Monday morning the civil engineer,
Mr.. d. S. CARL, who will superintend the
laying of the new cable railroad, will 60
to the top of the hill at Fourteenth street
extended with large force of workmen
and begin the work of laying the new
cable road.
The reason assigned for going out Four
teenth street first is to accommodate the
city officials, as they will shortly begin
the concreting Of that street, and the work
can be completed in much less time after
the cable tracks are laid than it could be
done prior to that time.
Mr.. CARL says that when the work is
once begun it will be pushed forward with
the greatest rapidity and that when the
track and yokes are put under ground as
far as Florida avenue the work on that
section of the road will be stopped and
commenced at Georgetown and pushed
through to the Navy Yard.
In this route some fine mapping out of
work by the civil engineer has been done
as there are twelve ugly curves, and the
difference of half an inch in the width of
the laying of the tracks would wreck a
train. But in this matter Mr.. CARL has
shown his training and experience and
every difficulty or obstacle, no matter how
great, has been overcome, and when the
work is finished Washington will have a
cable road second to none in the country.
When the Market street cable was laid
in Philadelphia the press of that place
thought that the most difficult cable track
had been laid, as at the foot of Market
street, the terminus of the road, the track
turns in such a manner as to form the
letter L.
At that time that was the most difficult
piece of work of its kind ever done, but
the road here between the Navy Yard
and Georgetown, will contain two s.
shaped curves, and on Fourteenth street
from New York avenue, there is one, al
though not so short as either of the
curves on the avenue.
The work of laying the cable proper
through these curves will be no small
job.
"The majority of persons have no idea
of half the amount of work to be done IN
laying cable,' said President Hurt to a
CRITIc-RECoRD reporter. There are
openings at regular intervals, say twenty
to thirty feet, to be made to allow the oil
ing of the little wheels on which the
cable passes and the putting in of these
wheels is an important part Of the work
and has to be done with the utmost eau
ton and precision.
"If some of the people who are un
acquainted with the modern street rail.
ways would go to the Seventh-street
| power house and see the work which is
being done there, their eyes would open
wide with surprise"
Has the cable been ordered yet ?"
mot yet; but as soon as it is convenient
the ten-mie piece of wire will be shipped.
When do you think the road will b,
| completed and the cars put on?"
THAT is hard to say, and as yet w
| cannot even form the remotest idea
| Work on the Georgetown end will be de
layed some time, and while the authori
ties are lowering the six-inch water pipe
on Bridge street we will be at work a

SOME GOOD PLAYING WITNESSED
HERE YESTERDAY.

Gossip Of the Green DiamOnd-What the
Players are Doing in Other cities
Talk Of the Field and the Bleaching
Boards.
1t was cold day for the st. Louis and
Washington teams to play ball yesterday,
but Just little too frgid for the Nation
ais. For seven innings it looked just as
easy for the new home team. Only one
error had been made, the fielding was
brisk and clever and the batting looked
strong enough for very creditable vic
tory. Bakely was pitching masterfully,
only two hits having been made off his
delivery. The turning point which chilled
the once warmed-up bleachers came in
the last half of the eighth inning after
two men had easily gone out. Then third
baseman Lyons of the visitors drove a
long liner in centre field for two bags.
Mccarthy sent one like shot against the
anatomy of Bakely and made first before
the ball could be recovered. The latter
would have been caught on a steal to Sec
ond had Hatfield held McGuirc's quick
assist. Comisky brought his colleagues
across the plate with another clean two
bagger, and scored himself on daring
run ON ball driven to short right field
by Boyle and one over which Dowd fell
in his eagerness to make the play, 1t was
net an objectionable accident, but it
proved bad enough to clinch the winning
lun.

TORPEDO WARFARE.
Commander Folger on the Work of the
Almirante Lynch.

On IHe NOTh VI Ine
Almirante Lynch.
AS appeared in yesterdays CRITIC
RECORD the subject of torpedo warfare is
engaging lively attention in naval circles;
but until definite circumstantial nara
tive of the encounter of the new Chilian
torpedo vessel Almirante Lynch, with the
rebels battle-ship Blanco Encalada, is
forthcoming, even the best informed of
ficers will hardly be prepared to give
conclusive opinion. 1t must be remem-
bered, too, that it has been a long time
since there was anything like a naval
battle. The nearest approach to it has
occurred in the little warfare in the
Chilian waters. Hence the effectiveness
of modern-equipped torpedo boats al
ready displayed, and which may yet still
further be shown in the Chilian war, is
remarked with the greatest interest by
naval authorities all over the world.
Commander Folger chief of the Bureau
of Ordnance of the United States Navy,
speaking of the Almirante Lynch exploit,
SAYS:
The Blanco Encalada had very poor
anti-torpedo armament, but seven ma
chine guns and four other light guns, in
cluding boat guns. She had no torpedo
nets and poor search lights, if any at all.
We also know that she was out of ammu-
milton for her small guns, so that her
anti-torpedo battery had practically ceased
to exist. Her bottom was very foul and
she could not steam rapidly or maneuver
well. She was therefore at the mercy of
the Almirante Lynch, a new vessel re-
Gently tested fresh from the hands of her
builders, in perfect order and perfectly
equipped in all departments. Look at the
contrast between the Blanco Encalada
and the new battle-ships being built in
this country. These battle.ships are to
have twenty-four anti-torpedo boat guns,
effective at great range. They will have
double search-light outfits, sweeping the
horizon in every direction, and will be
supplied with the best torpedo nets,
THE range of the guns will not be Inn
tied by the torpedo which is so limited in
range as to make it always subordinate to
the gun. These battle-ships are being
built for use at a distance from the
enemy's ports, where his torpedo boats
cannot come. They must be built to fight
other battle-ships. Naval war is not di-
rected against an enemy's ships alone, but
against his forts as well, and here artillery
must be used. Torpedo boats are not to be
neglected, however, and my idea of a
fighting unit would be to have each
battle'ship accompanied by two torpedo
vessels, which would steam behind her,
and in action would keep off the enemy s
torpedo boats, leaving the battle-ship free
to use her guns against similar vessels be-
longing to the enemy. Torpedos are of
great importance as auXiliaries, but they
will always be subordinate to guns ON ac-
count of their limited range.h

Andrew VigaI's Trial.
The trial of Andrew W. Vigal, young
colored man charged with obtaining
money under false pretenses, was opened
On the 10th of last January he went to a
Georgetown merchant named William l..
Courtney and presented a check of $40
signed by Charles B. johnson and offered
to pay bill he owed. Mr. Courtney took
ont $3.50 and gave Vigal the balance in
cash, but afterward found that the check
would not be honored at the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank on which it had been
drawn. No such man as Johnson was
found and Cashier Ladd of the bank testi-
fed that no such man as Brown ever had
an account there

On j. street, in front of the police sta
ton, yesterday afternoon, Charles R.
Riley was taken in the act of delivering
big chunk of the geld commodity, which
he distributes from one of the big yellow
wagons of the Kennebec Ice Company.
1t was not policeman who performed
the ceremony, however, but Mr.. Riley's
big side-partner, Thomas f. HALEY, who
used Photographic camera for the pur-
pose Those who have seen the picture are
unanimous in praise of the artist. The
attitude of the central figure likewise
comes in for much admiration. He
stands with his eyes lifted in the direction
of an imaginary purchaser and his left
leg is extended for firm yet graceful
stride, while the aforesaid chunk bangles
with airy grace from his good right hand.
1t will be astonishing if there is not big
demand for the photograph on the part
of the gentler sex.
