splendid game and showed to all their ability
to play first-class ball. The HERALD repre-
sentative took his position near the entrance

what the patrons said. The general express
sion was that at last Washington had secured

two weak points are strengthened, as they
will be, the club will be as strong as any. In
the pitchers department they are strong, in
the catchers' somewhat weak, strong in the
infeld with the exception of Smally, and
powerful in the outfeld. The men are good
batters and run the bases cleyerly. Manager
Irwin, of the Bostons, said he was surprised at
the strength of the team. SIT is going to

Activity in the Potomac Club.

The Potomac Athletics, under the leader
ship of Capt. Charley Warden, intend max
ing strenuous efforts this season to bring back
to the club the laurels lost on the water in the
past two years. Capt. Warden fully realizes
the position he is placed in and says that the
only way success can come to the club is by
the united action of all members At present
the rowing strength of the organization is
rather indefinite, as the men who are down to
row have had little experience in shell boats.
The club is enrolling large number of new
members, and from among these Capt. War
den expects to get men for his crews The
athletic features of the club may detract some
what from the rowing, and therefore many
members would prefer to see the club forsake
base ball, etc., and go to work at rowing,
which has always been the forte of the organi-
zation. There may be some good argument
in this, and it will be looked into by the gov
ernors at an early meeting.

Thursdays Bad Exhibitions.
One of the worst exhibitions of ball-playing
ever seen on ball-Geld some fifteen hundred
people of this city were unfortunate enough to
witness on Thursday last at the new park.
The three previous contests had been good
ones, but on Thursday the bottom dropped
out of the team and they went about their
work like lot of green village boys. 1t was
wretched exhibition, and the spectators
were disgusted. Miller made his first appear
ance, and for six innings the big hitters of
the Boston club were unable to solve his puz-
zling curves, as they only made four hits off
him. In spite of the miserable support he
played a wonderful game, and is the cleverest
guarder of bases ever seen in this vicinity.
Hatfield played as if he was asleep, McQuery
had two bad errors, Hines fumbled two balls
in centre, Dunlap and Smalley kept up with
the Others, while Mcclure had three bad
fielding errors. They ran bases like snails,
and when chances were offered, though they
had men repeatedly on the bases, did not
know how to bat or sacrifice to help runners
along

The Nationals met the Bsltimores yesterday
IN their first game for the American Associa-
tion pepnant. The twenty-five hundred and
more enthusiasts present saw the home team
win well-earned victory. They outplayed
the Orioles at every point There is strong
rivalry between the two cities, and special
train brought down large crowd of Balti-
moreans, who desired to whoop things up for
their pets. They had plenty of chances to do
so, as the game was exciting from start to
finish. The batting was clean and hard, and,
above all, opportune, while the fielding was
sharp and brought applause from both sides.
In the sixth inning, for instance, star
play was made by Hines, and the applause
was so loud and prolonged that the player,
who is extremely hard of hearing, was kept
busy doffing his cap. johnson and Gilbert
both hit safely, and, with two men on bases
and none out, it looked sure for a run. Wer-
den hit long fly to left-centre that looked
certain for three bases, but Hines by grand
ran and long reach up in the air got the
ball, and then, quickly turning, threw it to
Hatfield, who caught johnson on the return.
johnson, of the visitors, also made a pretty
catch of long drive off Davis that also caused
applause, while Mcclure holds the record for
the first home-run on the new grounds, due to
long hit to left which lost itself in some
brush
The Nationals opened the scoring in the
first inning by Hatfield's two-bagger, Beech
er's sacrifice, and Dunlap's triple; in the
second, on McGuires home run; in the fourth
they scored two, Davis's base on balls, Nc
Query's single, and Carsey's timely hit to
centre; another in the fifth, on Beecher's base
on balls, q steal, Visner's sacrifice, and
Illness infeld hit. In the sixth two bases on
balls, and Cirsey's sacrifice, aided by an
error, allowed two more scores to be made,
while in the eighth the whole team, it seemed,
generously fell on to Cunningham and was
pounding him numerically. Carsey's two
bagger, Hatfield's first on error, Beecher's
hit,nnd Visner's three -bagger had forced in four
runs when the rain and darkness forced the
game to be called. The Baltimores scored
two in first on Van Haltren's three-bagger,
Wise's short hit to Dunlap, Van Haltrenb beat
ing the ball home, and Rays sacrifice In
second Gilbert and Townsend hit, base on
balls added one more. In the fourth hits by
Johuson and Townsend and sacrificing
hits gave them another, while in the
seventh a hit by Cunningham, a
passed ball, and a sacrifice by Van
Haltren gave them another The playing of
Carsey was very brilliant, much more so than
the score shows and the boy was again and
again called out for cheers by the enthusiasts.
The Nationals played a much sharper game
than any previous one of the championship
series. Davis, the new third-baseman, made
his nrst appearance and did fairly well. The
same clubs play Monday. Score:

Proposed Joint Entertainment

The suggestion made by The HERALD that
the clubs get up joint athletic entertainment
at one of the theatres is bearing fruit. a move
looking toward such an entertainment is now
on foot among some of the governing officers
of the clubs. The theatrical season will soon
be over, and one of the big houses could be Sc
cured at q low rental. There can be no ques-
tion that the proposed entertainment would
give big returns. The combined membership
of the three clubs is about fifteen hundred, and
certainly each member could be depended on
to take one ticket. Members of the clubs
would be glad, indeed, to pay dollar to see
the best sparrers of the Columbia and Potomac
Athletics pitted against one another, while
the other features could be made interesting
and attractive.

THE LONDONDERRY SITTER
Capt. Childs Postal Service Lecture.

Sapt' Chitus Tostai SorNtce Lec'"ro'
The Springfield Reporter of last
week has the following in regard to
postmaster Child's lecture on the pos
tai service delivered in that place, to
a large audience, last Wednesday:
she sketched the origin and devel-
opment of the post from the time Of
the Romans down to the present day,
From the time that officials high in
power used it for private communica-
ton at the expense of the people, un-
til now, when the poorest have equal
mail facilities with the millionaire.
He gave concise history of the es-
tablishment of the service in this
country, showing its growth during
the past two hundred years, but more
especially its phenomenal increase
since 1860. Vermont's history was
not forgotten, and was interspersed
with many quaint anecdote and adj
vertisement of the post riders of a
hundred years ago. Captain Childs
is an easy and fluent speaker, his lee
ture instructive and interesting, and
the audience were well repaid for
their attendance.
1t is expected that Capt. Childs
will shortly favor us with this lecture.

Cats Enjoy Fun.

The sportiveness of kittens is exuber-
ant and makes them the most delightful
of pets Lindsay s remark is superf1uous,
except that it has to be made for the
formal completeness of his treatise that
dogs and cats take part in the fun and
frolic-sometimes rough and boisterous
enough-of their child playfellows. They
give every evidence, in fact, that such
fun and frolic are the most enjoyed
features Of that period Of their lives AS
the animal natures it becomes more
sedate, and even assumes a meditative
air, but the taste for sport does not die
out till infirmity begins to wear upon it.
A cat mentioned in The Animal
World would allow itself to be rolled up
or swung about in tablecloth, and
seemed to enjoy the fun, and Woods
dignifed Pusset would let his friends do
anything they pleased with him-lift
him up by any part of the body, toss
him in the air from one to another, use
him as a footstool, boa or pillow, make
him jump over their hands or leap on
their shoulders, or walk along their ex-
tended arms with perfect complacency.
At the same time he was keenly sensi-
tive to ridicule, and if laughed at would
walk off with every manifestation of Of
Tended dignity.-W. II. Larrabee in

ing string of pearls about tie neck.
A Boston artist, then student at the

was impressed with the classic charm
of this young virgin beauty, made
sketches and potes, and at once set to
work to paint the picture, but in vain;
t e time had n 1t come in which to real
lie the conception, and the canvas ives
laid aside. Two years ago, as tie artist
was returning from summer trip II
Europe, he was introduced to a Hunga-
rian nobleman, who had been appointed
