The Sabbath Immediately following the
termination Of the Moody meetings a gospel
service was instituted in @. A. r. Hall by
the chaplain OF the Department OF the Poto-
mac. and several of the chaplains Of the
posts OF the department and others.
A large choir. composed Of members of the
great Moody and Sankey choir was organ
lied, with Prof. Tracey as director, and each
Sabbath afternoon since, at O'Clock the
eN-soldiers Of both the great armies OF the
late civil war and their Immediate families
and friends have gathered In considerable
numbers IN the G. A. r. Hall TO listen to
the excellent and effective rendition of San
keys sweet and inspiring gospel songs,
and earnest and forceful addresses upon
gospel themes by the veterans OF both The
Blue" and The Gray" who no longer con-
tend with each other. but cOmmingle here as
Christian patriots. seemingly forgetting the
animosities and sanguinary. scenes of the
past.
These men, who endured the privation.
Snd hardships of many active cam
paigns thirty years or more ago. are not yet
back numbers. but are still fitted and ready
for active. aggressive work In a good cause,
and are yet power in the land for good
when their energies are properly directed.
These services, like the Moody meetiags
are evangelistic, and partake OF the char
acteristics of those great gatherings in Con-
yention Hall.
While these meetings were originally in
tended especially for the veterans of the
late Wharf.-The Blue" and The Gray"-and
their wives. sons and daughters vet they
are not exclusive, but, like the gospel they
are free to ALL and all who will may come
and be cordially welcomed

A PREvENTABLE DISEASE.
Report Of q Committee Of the Medical
Society On Consumption.

Society ON Consumption.
carefully prepared report on the preven-
ton and restriction of tuberculosis has
been prepared by a committee OF the Medi-
cal Society. of the District consisting OF
Drs. Charles II. Stowell, ]. X. Bryan and
E. A. Balloch. This report has been SUBJ
mitted to the society and will be discussed
at the next meeting.
1t is first stated In the report that 1T has
been proven beyond a doubt that consump-
ton is a disease which is communicable
from man to man, from man TO animals
and from animals TO man. The agent which
conveys the disease. the bacillus tuberculo-
sis. may enter the system through the
lungs, through the stomach or some other
absorbing surface. Every existing case
must arise from some pre-existing case.
Based upon these facts. IL follows that con-
sumption is a preventable disease. In fact.
II appears that there is no other disease
known which is more easily prevented than
this. The power of man to control the dis
ease is absolute when he himself is the VIC
TIM"
In the District Of Columbia, Il is stated,
from 1888 to 1892 inclusive, sob persons
died from tuberculosis of which number
4.Sl2 We're colored, the percentage of deaths
Ifom tuberculosis TO all deaths being 1881
during the ten years.
Some sugeestions.
The conclusions of the report are summed
up as follows:
First. That a committee be appointed to
prepare the manuscript for circulars or
pamphlets, with the view Of having the
same distributed among the people setting
forth the facts that each person having
consumption is a constant source Of danger
TO others not thus afflicted; that the disease
Is durable, and, above all, that IL is easily
preventable.
Second That the hospital authorities lie
urged 10 set apart certain wards for the ex-
elusive use OF consumptives; although your
committee believes that special hospitals
Tor this purpose are preferable.
Third. That physicians be especially re-
Quested 20 inform their consumptIve pa
tents Of the necessity OF thorough disin-
lection of the sputa and of the methods by
which this can be accomplished; and. fur
ther, that they insist that the rooms once
occupied by consumptiyes be thoroughly
disinfected before they are again inhab-
tied
Fourth. And that this society take such
action as Will best procure the enactment
OF a law whereby no milk can be offered
Tor sale In this city until the cows from
which said milk was taken have been test
ed and found TO be free from tuberculosis
The meeting of the society TO which the
report was submitted adopted the following
Important additional recommendation:
Furthermore. That the health officer OF
the District OF Columbia shall be requested
TO formulate such regulations as will insure
10 all persons purchasing vaccine virus In
this District a guarantee that the animals
whence such material has been obtained
were treated with tuberculin and proven
free from tuberculosis

The Millers gave the Brewers an
awful drubbing at Minneapolis Athletic
park yesterday afternoon. The score
was Is TO u in favor Of Barnes men.
The Atillcrs made six home runs. three
doubles and Ihree-bagger. with total
of forty eight bases. The visitors also
found the ball frequently, and i'll the
ninth inning they took so kindly to
young FraSer's delivery that Capt.
Crooks substituted ''Dr. Tanner" Par
vim, who retired the Brewers in one,
two, three order. For the i.rst three
innings the contest was very pretty,
each side scoring one run and the field
ers doing fine work. In the fourth the
visitors made three runs on a base on
balls, single and home run by Howe.
When the Miilers came TO the bat in the
next inning there was yell from the
bIeachers TO set the ball a-moving."
The ball was kept a-moving. and
Barnes was kept busy digging out new
spheres. In this inning the MillerS
made four home runs, triple and three
singles, making total of twenty-five
bases in one inning. the largest number
recorded in any inning on the grounds
this season. Wittrock twirled for the
visitors, and seemed very much aston
ished. as we'll as disguised. at times
when Barnes husky boys took streak
at batting. Fraser pitched good ball
until the last inning, when it was evil
dent that he was tired. The features of
the game were beautiful catch by
Visner of io8 line hit to left. and
pretty stop of red-hot liner by Langs-
ford, together with the general good
stick work of the Millers. Attendance.

YACHT CONTEST.
The Vigiiant and Valkyrie Will
Race on July 5.

The Vigilant and Valkyrie Will
Race on July 5.
GLASGOW. June est has been def
nitely settled that the Vigilant and Val
kyrie will engage in the first contest on
the Clyde on July 5, as neither yacht
will be ready in time TO race at all earlier
date. The Vigilant. Valkyrie, Britain
MIA and Satanita have been entered for
the Royal Ulster Yacht club regatta,
which will he sailed on Belfast Tough
July IL and II. The schooner yacht
Lasca, owned by John E. Brooks, of
New York, has been entered for the
cruiser race in this regatta.
The Nlgilant, Valkyrie and Britannia
will probably enter the Royal Cork
Yacht club regatta on July "a.
The match race between the Britain
mia and the Vigilant which, as already
cabled. has been arranged to take place
at Cowes during the race week at Good
wood in the early part of August, will
be sailed over the royal yacht sou adron
course.
In regard to complaints made bg
American newspapers at the alleged
refusal of the Royal Victoria Yacht
club to allow the Vigilant to sail for The
gold cup, the Field today points out
that neither challenge nor an intima-
ton from the Goulds has been received
by that club, SO 1t is not likely that the
Vigilant's entry has been rejected. The
paper adds that it Is safe to infer that
the committee of the Victoria Yacht
club will not stand in the way of sport
should the Vigilant challenge for the
gold CUB

CHICAGO, June 23.-Fred Taral, who
rode the hitherto unbeaten Domino,
said: domino should have won. The
pace was slow, and we were all riding
on typ of each other. The horse was
rank, and had orders to set no pace,
but hold back and come hard at the
finish. As result. I had to choke the
colt almost to death. I had a terrible
time with him. When too late I saw
that he was not in it with the other
horses. l lost good deal Of ground
while holding him in check. and had
the pace been faster the result would
have been different. My orders were
not to go out, but to play waiting
game. If had had my way would
have taken him out at the start, and
then would have won, surely"
Snapper" Garrison was satisfied with
his ride on Senator Grady. Il have not
much to say" he said. I'm my opinion
the best horse won. I was satisfied that
he could do the course in 1864. 1t was
cinch that I had all the Eastern
horses beaten. The only horse feare
was DespOt. 1t was good race, and
the California entry won because he
was the best horse"
Jockey Willie Van Kuren. who pilot
ed Rey Ell Santa Anita to victory, said !:
II was riding easy all way. l could
not get through until the three-quarter
pole was reached. was certain all
along that l would win. l made my
run in the last half and won easily. /
do not think that it would have made
any difference to the colt If the pace
had been faster. There were only two
horses in the race that | was afraid of.
They were Senator Grady and Domino.
felt certain that Rel Ell Santa Anita
could beat all the Western entries, and

Foley's Bowling Prizes Awarded
by John II. Ives.
Last nigh: the new Foley alleys were
in attendance. Nothing but expressions
of delight and praise were heard from
all corners, so pleased were they with
these alleys-the finest in the United
States. There were bowlers ana
bowlers. These represented all the
old bowling clubs at Foley's. Capt.
Robinson. of the Wabashas, and Capt.
Mannhart. of the Gophers, chose teams
from the several clubs represented, and
at once proceeded to give the alleys q
practical test.
Mr.. Foley provided the players with
a lunch, which. with appetites we'll
whetted by the exercise, they thor
ouehly enjoyed. Cheer after cheer re-
sounded from that subterranean world
where the bOwlers had merry war,
which, added to the crash OF falling
pins and the whirr of rushing balls sent
down the course by sturdy young
muscles, made the jolliest sort of
din imaginable. at the close Of
the game the score cards revealed
the following: Goods team de-
feated Mample's by score of
$40 TO SIS. Capt. Mannhart's team de-
feated that of Capt. Robinson by score
of l.2S3 to l,155. Then came an interest
ing feature. John ii. Ives. the attorney,
happened to drop in, and upon him the
pleasant task of awarding the various
prizes won by the Foley bowlers dur
ing last winters tournament and prac-
tice games. Mr.. Ives OH this occasion
acquitted himself with the same grace
ami eloquence as he has in many in
clally happy and felicitOuS presentation
speech. There were seven elegant gold
buttons presented. besides beautiful
gold badge.
MIR. Ives concluded his speech by
presenting the various prizes. To Capt.
Harry Clayton, of the SUBMITS: -ysas

beautiful souvenir of gold. The lalgh
score button went to Capt. Henry Esar-
