Meakin's Mastery Pitching Keeps the Bal
timores From Winning.
Meakin went into the box at Baltimore yes
terday and fully retrieved himself for his poor
work against the Bostons. He was wild, send
ing six to first on balls. but he pitched mastery
ball at critical times and saved the game. The
Baltimore Sun gives the following story Of the
game:
tall, 1.-THE, athletic young man is Pitcher
Meakin of the Washington Pase Ball Club
He came to Union Park with eight other ball
players from the capital yesterday afternoon
and defeated the Orioles by the score Of to 8.
Meakin was in superb condition. and the
Orioles were helpless before him. Only three
times could the Baltimores hit the bali out of
the reach Of their opponents. Treadway in the
fourth inning made three-base hit and in the
eighth a single, while Reitz in the ninth in
ming made n safe hit. All the other players
were unable to do anything at all with Meakin's
delivery. The Orioles played earnestly to win,
and in the ninth inning Stovey went to the bat
In place Of Mcmahon, but succeeded only in
striking out McMahon pitched well. and
would have won the game had his companions
been able to make few more hits.
Washington started the run making in the
second inning. Wise made safe hit and
reached second on Larkin's out from Milligan
to Mcmahon, who ran to first base. Wise scored
on Farrells single. and on Kelley's letting the
ball roll between his feet Farrell went TO second
base. Mulvey's out from second to first sent
Farrell to third and on Sullivan's single he

Two Acres Of the Oceans Surface Raised
Many Feet.
A New York SUMS Chatham, Mass, special
says:
Three thousand pounds of dynamite were ex-
ploded on Tuesday under the Vanderbilt yacht
Alva, which was sunk last August by the
steamer H. F. Dimock in Pollock Rip Slue,
within eight miles Of Chatham.
The wreck was a very serious obstruction to
navigation and caused much damage to ship
ping.
After the dynamite had been placed in posi-
ton the diver came to the surface and was
hauled into the boat.
The length Of the battery wire was about 600
feet. When the captain turned the lever there
was a terrible explosion. The shock was plainly
felt on the steamer. 1t was like the pounding
Of a sedge upon her bottom. The water for an
area OF two acres seemed to rise fully 200 feet.
The first of the water milky white. This
was followed by mass Of mud and water.
After the explosion it was found that hole
sixteen feet deep had been blown in the clay
Of the bays bottom. In the water that shot up
into the air there were huge timbers. large
pieces of steel, brass lamps and kettles. pieces
of brass rails and swords. Champagne baskets
came up in profusion. also many hundred
broken bottles, all of which had probably con-
whale about fifty feet long, which had
been watching the operations while the
dynamite was being placed. was near the sur
face after the water had subsidized. spouting and
plunging and flashing the sea as if in great
agony. At times he would rush forward with
terrible velocity. At time he came
dangerously near the contractors boat
After about fifteen minutes Of these antics he
made dart toward the bell buoy which marks
the entrance to Pollock Rip Slue. aud in some
way became entangled with it. After a struggle
he broke the chain which held the buoy to the
rock below and passed out of sight to the east
ward with the buoy still attached to him. ring
ing hard and loud. The ringing of the bell
appeared to make the whale wild, and the last
seen of him he was going at a terrific rate.
The United States government thus lost a
buoy, and unless another is placed there soon
vessels may run ashore in thick weather.

vicinity and many were killed and large num-
Der Of small fish we're floating about dead.
Huge waves caused by the explosion ran out
over the ocean. and passing vessels would roll
and toss as if in a great storm.
The Alva's decks are now all blown out and
the bow is badly shattered. Her sides have
been torn out completely and she is no longer
a menace to navigation.

Damrosch willing to Go to Chicago.

A special to the Chicago Inter Ocean from
Knoxville, Tenn. says: Walter Damrosch. the
conductor of the New York symphony Orches-
ira, was asked last night if he had been rendered
the position of musical director Of the worlds
fair. Tie response was: ''No, 1 have not been
given any positive assurance that would be
acceptable in such position"
well. Mr.. Damrosch. would you accept the
management of the worlds fair music if it was
offered you?" was asked of the musical con.
ductor.
With thoughtful and somewhat doubtful
look Mr.. Damrosch said: why should 1 mott

Thomas place, but because am anxious to

Three-fourths of Its Population Live n
Flats or Tenements.
From the North American Review.
A recent census report shows that there are
81 900 houses in New York occupied by . num-
Der OF families so great to imply that there
are nearly four families (S.s2) for every house
in the metropolis. When it is recalled that
there are thousands of beautiful bones In New
York occupied each by one family only, that
miles OF avenues and streets are lined with
houses each individually owned and occu pied
by one family group it viii be realized to what
extent In other parts Of the city crowding
occurs. when TO accommodate an average Of
nearly four families to each house the remain
ing houses only are available. Comparing the
condition OF New York with Philadelphia the
difference Is most marked In Philadelphia the
average number Of families TO each house il
lilo, as against So families and over in New
York for each house. In New York the average
for each house is - people. while in Philadel-
phia the average is not people per house.
The death rate tells the rest In New York Il
is Is in every ,000 in Philadelphia % per 900
While New York has 10 people to eseh house,
London has only z. with a death rate per
cent lower than New York. The extent Of the
crowding in New York is made painfully appar-
ent by the statement OF the national census
which shows that out of population of I. 800. :
600 no less a number than ], zoo. 900 live in
apartments, flats and tenements. Still further
is this confirmed by the sanitary census made
by the police in September last, in which ii was
found that there were herded In what the board
of health designates as the tenement district no
less than 5000 families. This number ex-
ceeding quarter Of a million families. sverag-
ing persons IN each. Is great TO excite sur
prise that such a condition can exist in the
chief city Of the new world, where conditions
OF civilization, as illustrated by the character
and number Of homes. ought TO have THAR
most perfect exemplfcation. But the facts, as
presented in official reports, in the death rate
and IN the personal observations of men and
women who take a deep interest in the con-
dition of human kind in the metropolis. show q
condition Of density full Of danger, in which
| the indications toward improvements are few

To The Editor of The Evening Star:
The account in your paper of last Monday
of the chess match played recently at Balti-
more between the Baltimore Chess Association
and the Washington Chess, Checker and Whist
Club contains the statement that the result
of the match was somewhat in favor OF Balti-
more. This is not quite correct, inasmuch as.
In addition to the actual score of eight and
one-half games to each club. of the two
doubtful games, one of which. Mr. Hanna's,
was favorable to Washington and the other,
Mr.. M:cfarland's, to Baltimore, it is easy to
demonstrate a sure win for Mr.. Hanna from
the position Of his pieces at cessation of play,
while it requires a most elaborate and searching
analysis TO prove that Mr.. Macfsrland's game
might not have been drawn. But even giving
the latter game to Baltimore the result is only
tie Of nine and one-half games each.
This result is the same rs in the first match
OF two years ago. and the Washington club
hopes to continue the parallel by gaining a de-
clsive victory in the return match to be played
here on the Goth, as they did two years ago.

Secretary W. C. C. and W. Club.
