THE LINrHICUa INSTITUTE ENTERTAINMENT.

proud of their boys last night, TO-. in the opin-
ion of those mos fitted to judge. never was an
entertainment n in Georgetown by ANA
:
the first time in the history OF the school tina :
all admission price had been asked. and the
/ crowd that filled the seats, the aisles and the
| doo-v Ways proved that the call for display of
| genuine friendship had not been made in vain.

I ture-piano, selected, Miss Lillian Graves;
remarks, by Mr.. Hay: recitation. by Mr.. Guy
V. Collins; vocal SOLO. by Miss Lille A Stewart:

/ To indicate the excellent points in the pre-
sentation would necessitate the naming of
every participant individually and the manner
| in which he excelled. For the past month the

direction of Mr.. r. Clinton Bolinger. have been
having scenery painted and stage effects con-
! structed and the entertainment Of last night

| incurred.
THE BATEMAS-cHAsE fight.
The Bateman-Chase fight, which Was to have
taken place at Baltimore on the 18th Of this
month, has been postponed till the 18th. This
was necessary because the arena Of the Neptune
Club, in which the bout was to have taken
place, was thought too small to accommodate
the assemblage that will be present. Hence
the Academy OF Music has been secured for the
date stated. Betting on the result is going on
vigorously in Georgetown, and local sporting
circles are full OF rumors to the effect that
heavy odds are being offered against the
| fho Rail
Just the opposite opinion prevails here. Billy
Mccoy met a Baltimore sport in Schadt's last
night and wanted to get be. out Of him to the
| tune OF two to one on Georgetown and Balti-
| more backed out. Bateman is nearly down to
weight and looks to be in the best condition,
better in fact than when he did up Lynch. He
says that his right hand is fast improving and
will be all right when the gong strikes
for the first round. On the 25th Of April
Bateman is to meet Holland, tie 120-pound
champion of the United States. at the C. A. C.
He was to have met Callahan, the champion
feather weight Of America. but for some I'M
! stated reason it is Holland who is to face the
music Bateman and the C. A. c. contingent
will 60 over to Baltimore in q special car.
THE ooLLEcroRsHIP.
There is considerable activity manifested by
the various candidates for the Office of the COL
lector Of the port Of Georgetown. Messrs.
Cropley, Blunt, Lanman, Doyle and one or two
others are waging an active contest for the
prize. There seems to be disposition to fur
Their complicate matters by introducing another
candidate. This is Mr.. Hutchins. 1t is under
stood that this gentleman does not seek
the Office. believing that the Office should
seek the man. but it is also understood
that should the President think that the inter-
ests Of the government would be advanced by
the appointment of Mr.. Hutchins that gentle
man would consent to accept 1t ia said that
under Cleveland's last administration Mr..
Hutchins was prominently urged for the post
mastership Of Georgetown, but refused to run
for that Office. Collector johnson told The
STAR reporter yesterday that he was sleeping
attempts on his scalp. His term does not ex-
pire till one year from mex: December.
HE DENIED TOO MUCH.
Armstead Bailey, young colored man
arrested for the theft Of two chickens from his
employer, Mr.. B. B. Smith, denied the charge
in the Police Court today. and he also denied
every word said against him by several wit
| nesses. Bailey was running opposition to his en-
ployer in the sale Of the chickens, selling
coin he purchased three five-cent
pies and when arrested one of the pies was the
shape of Q quarter moon. Armstead even de-
MED the pie story and his statement SO dis
gusted Lawyer Hewlett. his counsel, that he
gave up the case and told the court that mis-
Judge Miller told the prisoner that he ought
to be sent to the grand jury for perjury. and
such action would be taken If it wore not that
| he appeared to have no moral conception Of
anything.
For the larceny a sentence Of thirty days was
imposed
