The prospect of teams from the various

infused new energy into gymnasium work.

feet, without obstacle of any kind. and a
SiX-foot portable screen extending the
length of the hall to protect spectators

develop every feature of the game.
TWenty-one candidates have SO far en-
tered the field for position on the first
team. nine regulars and three or four sub

With only two months of practice and

The Holly as the National Emblem

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
VIII you yield space in your valuable
columns for the insertion of suggestion
from a washington octogenarian" who
has read your paper from its first issce
and does not feel her evening complete I'M
less she has looked through The Evening
Star?
Has any one ever suggested our native
holly as a suitable national emblem? Older
nations have long ago adopted the rose.
the lily, the thistle or the Sha mrock, and
therefore our choice is low limited. Its
beauty and appropriateness must be famiI-
lar to all passing through the highways
and bywayS of our land, from Maine to
Florida. Its evergreen and shining foliage
ard brilliant fruitage, unimpaired even by
the SHOWS and storms OF winter its
strength of fiber, its perfect healthfulne
and longevity, all repel the thought of de-
cline or decay, and suggest lasting life and
prosperity 1t has, too, its strong though
tiny, weapons of defense. always ready to
resist and punish rough Usage or any I'M
necessary looping of its spreading branches
and scarlet berries. 1t has been sought for
and gathered for many, many years as the
adornment of our harry homes, and many
churches in celebrating the greatest and
best SlIt 10 man. in the birth Of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. Children love to
see 1t on their Christ mas trees and We old
1olkS value IL, as did our forefathers long
ago. The national emblem of this country
should not be a mere delicate flower, weak
and nervelesS and fading in a night how
ever beautiful There should stand for our
powerful, useful, ViTile and self-reliant ma
ton something more emblematic of it's
married characteristics. These, | think are
faithfully portrayed in the strength and
beauty, usefulness ard endurance OF this

It's honest front unaided by outside help.
and equally. amid the SHOWS of winter and
the heat Of summer displays that con
stancy which belongs to our dear land 4.

NIL NOTION AGAINST RACING.
Plenty of Excitement at the AIcxan-
der Island Track.

There was plenty of excitement at the
Alexander Island track yesterday One of
the books WEIGHED, the crowd disagreed
with the judges as to the winner of the
last race and, as a windup, an injunc ton,
issued at the instance of Gov. O'Ferrall,
was served upon the club by Sheriff
Voitch, restraining the club from continu-
ing the meeting. The welching book was
said to have been run by one d. b. Wal
tiers, and fell down on Mask, the winner Of
the last race. The club, it is said, had to
refund about $500. The crowd believed that
Little Bravo beat Mask in the last event.
The track was again in a terrible condition
and the races were run over the shute.
There was a large crowd present, and as
won the talent had the better OF the argu-
ment with the bookies. The winners were:
Ida R., 8 to 8; Classic. to 3; His Grace,

The Causes of the Deaths by AsphSia-
t;on.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Much has been said regarding the in
creased number OF deaths from asphyAia-
ton, and the cause given either being due
to defective gas fixtures, carelessness on
the part OF the victim or suicide. III many
instances neither of the above causes is
correct, Judging from my experience to-
night. About ten minutes ago the gaS In
my room became very dim. and finally
went out, much to my surprise, having
never seen the like during my four years
residence III the city. The flow of gas
seemed to be stopped, and for three min
utes could get no light at all. L am sure
the gas was not turned off by any one i'll
or about the house, and had ii been little
later in the evening and all in the house
had retired, instead of this morning, the
death list would have been materially in
creased for we have been in the habit
Of letting the gas burn dimly all night. 1t
can be seen how easily death could result.
and many of the fatal cases reported, if
the truth was known, would be from the
above cause. MITCHELL.

Result of the Bowling at the Institute
Last Night.

good game bowIed. that being the last one,
by the CAROLS which was Of the star
order All OF the other team scores were
just above the "yallow" mark, although
the first and second games were close and
exciting enough.
Birney Locraft did the superior work Of
the evening. He bowled down the greatest
number of pins-5l3, and also made the
highest individual run, lib pins for his
team. His games were all within four
pins of each other. 1t is refreshing to OBJ

Grant Ely Showed That He Was Il
Clever Pool PLAYER.

The 800 persons who were crowded in a
New York pool room last night were great
1y surprised "a the result of a pool match
between Alfred De ORC and Grant Ely.
De ORC is the champion player of this
country, and that he should be beaten By
a comparative unknown was indeed sur
prisng. The men played 2GO points for
$50 a side. DE ORC played in remarkably
poor form, missing many easy shots. His
young rival, however, was evidently in the
game to win, and his work was steady
TIN oughOut.
De Oro's friends We're amazed with his
showing. They could not account for his
lack of form and evident nervousness.
De ORC himself seemed completely taken
back by his opponent skill and GOODNESS.
The score was 200 to -.
After the finish de ORC offered to play
Ely for $1,000, or any part of it, but no
match was definitely arranged.
