passage Of several private bills and the
call of committees, Lsud (Rep, Gal. J

but by vote Of 100 to SO this WAS re-

son in the chair.
A vigorous arraignment of Republi-
can administrations OF the navy yard
by Cum mings, including reference to
employment of an extra force at the
Portsmouth yard for the benefit of ex-
Speaker Reed, and the sarcastic re-
joiader of Reed were the principal fea-
lures OF the debate on the naval appro-
pria sion bill, which occupied all to- lays
sessions.
Two pages Of the bill were read for
amendment, and the House then took a
recess until o'clock for the consider.

1t was hungry and Disguised crowd
that hled out OF the ball grounds yes
terday afternoon. And half Of them
were Disguised for two reasons, one
that Roanoke lost and the other that it
was so late when the game ended they
missed their suppers. The attendance
yesterday was smaller than usual, which
goes to show that S o'clock is not a pop
ular hour to commence the game.
The contest was an uninterssting one
from the start. Clark was in the box
for Roanoke and was just pie for the
visitors. In the first inning Hodge, the
first man at the bat, sent the ball over
the left field fence for home run and
this act was duplicated by O'Hagan in
Roanoke's half Of the inning.
The home team put up fair fielding
game considering the hard hitting done
by their opponents, McHooveter in par
ticular distinguishing himself. Roa-
noke was weak, however, in their base
running and lost several chances to
score thereby.
Kissinger pitched a good game for
Norfolk, allowing Roanoke to get but
five hits. The batting Of O'Hagan and
Hauptmsn were the features of the
game. the former having q home run
and two base hit and the latter four
singles.
The tale of woe is as follows:
