BILL JOYCE WILL NOT GO
No Truth In the Rumor That Hs
Is to BE Released.
Manager schmelz Says the Story Was In
vented Out of Whole Cloth-Yesterday's
Game with Brooklyn Postponed.

Several hundred crauks braved the storm
and gathered in front of the gate at Ma
tional Park, hoping that the game would
be played, and they would have chance
to see ByrDes' Brooklyn boys play ball.
They were doomed to disappointment,
however, as the weather was entirely too
bad, and the grounds in wretched condi-
ton for game.
The Baltimore Boston game at Baltimore,
and the New philadelphia game at
New York. were also postponed for the
same reason.
Manager Schmelz was seen last night and
when questioned about the rumor that had
been circulated that Bill Joyce was to be
exchanged with Philadelphia for Charlie
Reilly, ne emphatically denied it. He
stated that the story had been madeup outof
whole cloth as such an action had uot been
even thought OF.
This information will no doubt be hailed
with delight by the rootersas Joyce is great
favo1te and a good man.
He has not shown up well at the bat in
the few games that have been played, for
thesimple reasonthat he has gone up against
two Ieft-handed pitchers, and if there is
anything that Bill can't do il is to bat a
south-Saw twirier.
On the whcie, it would be a very bad
move for the Washington club TO let Bill
Joyce go unless they get an extra good A
No. man to fill his place. Not so much
his place on third base as on the team for
there are positions ne can cover much better
than thiTd-first base, for instance.

SOCIETY SAW THE STUDENTS
Mask and Wig Clubs Delightful Per-
formancc of an Extravaganza.
They Were Msgniacently Costumed and
panced Like Danseuses-fantom!mic
Game OF Football. = - .

The Mask and Wig Club scored another
overwhelming social ard artistic success
last night in their seventh annuai production
at the Academy OF Music The play rendered
was "KeuiiwoTth," an extravaganza writ
ten especially for the club by Mr.. McMichael-
The audience was late in arriving. 1t
was like some great seeial gathering when
society finally seated itself about the or
chestra nd III the boxes. Peoplei in full even
ing dress were howing right and left to
friends ard greetings were the order of the
evening.
The staging OF the piece was. quite up to
fhestaudard of the Mask and Wls. Clubasevi-
denced upon tie fclmer occasions of their
appearaucc-fu Washington.
The perfect drilling which the members
ofthc ciubhave raceiyedis evidenced unott-
ing more cUDspicuously than in the fine
dancing that always makes the success
OF all plays given by them.
When Amy Robsart came lightly bound
f1fg in upon the scene, in costume or
such abbreviated dimensions as that his
toricai and loUg-suffering parsonage could
never have donned in her dreaming hours,
| il was evident that the concession made to
the facts or the ease lay in the makeup of
| the lovely blonde wig aud the little velvet
cap, with which pictures of that heroine
! have been ha nded down TO posterity.
| Taken all in all, the Amy Robsart of last
night was a most charming looking young
| person, and gave frequent evidence of most
| graceful and finished powers of dancing
der companion inler wanderings through
| out the extra vaganZa was the faithful
| Janet, who to the iBdescribably comic
make up of a daughter of Eriu's most IN
| regenerate bogs, added the warmth or a
| fiery red wig that fairly seemed to herald
her coming like beacon light to an engine.
| In the first act the piece de resistance
was the duet between Amy Robsart aud
| Leicester: Every one knows who RumOr
is" This was sung TO the accompaniment
| of some especially high kicking and agile
| dancing that had To be repeated before
The next number Of the programme was
| allowed TO proceed.
The second act, which is laid in Kenil-
worth, gave opportunity for more good
dancing nad any number of entire acts

C. NJ. Faguo,s Resignation.

1t was a matter of much regret when the
board of governors OF the Columbia Ath-
Ietic Club received the resignation of G. NJ.
Fague as treasurer of the club more than
ten days ago, and which was not taken up
for action until the meeting of Thursday
evening last
Mr.. Fague regretted very much the ne
cessity for the step, which was made be-
cause Of the drain upon his time and the
interference with his personal business
interests.
IN justice to the club and to Mr.. Fague
1t is proper TO state that neither the fail
ure nor success OF the late club benefit
nor any other club matters had anything
to Go with his resignation, as published
in two local papers, for his resignation
had been rendered, as stated, nearly a
week before that event came off.
Final action on the resignation was de-
ferred until the meeting of the board of
governors, to be held during this week.

William Thomas, colored, twenty-tw
years OF age, and an alleged horse thief,
was taken in custody by sergt. Kenny, Of
the Eighth precinct, about 7:30 o'clock yes
terday morning.
The man, it is claimed, went TO the gypsy

;ered for sale a light bay mare attached to
a black top buggy, saying he would accept
$50 for the outfit.
A man named Bates, in the camp, sus
pecting the team was q stolen one, told
Thomas he would sell the horse if he
woald allow him TO show il TO a friend who
resided some distance up the road To
this the cOlored man agreed, and Bates
drove TO the house of Sergt. Kenny, who
was asleep, and awakened him. Tie Of
ficer, attired in civilians dress, accom-
panied Bates TO the camp.
When Thomas recovered from bis surprise
at the appearance OF the sergeant his captor
was lifting him into the carriage. He
made q movement as If be would escape and
was promptly shacked- The prisoner was
locked up in No station. In about an hour
afterward a Dispatch arrived from Falls

FELT THE DISGRACE.

Brother of John Allen, the Ducket-Shop
King, Commits Suicide.
Buffalo, N Y, April 27.--L. J. Allen, of
Oneida, r.. Y, committed suicide to-day at
stratford, Ont. He was a brother OF John
G. Allen, the bucket shop king.
That there is some connection between
the suicide, L. j. Allen, and the arr ested
and subsequent assignment of his Buffalo
brother, there can be n odoubt
The suicide was in no sense partner in
his brother IS brokerage operations, and it is
possible that he looked upon the publicity
which has been given the arrest and failure
of his brother as involving the honor of the
family.

NEwTowN's SECOND FAIR.
PROMISES TO BE A GREAT SUCCESS.

PROMISES TO BE GREAT SUCCESS.
The time is fast drawing near for the
second annual fair and everything prom
ises we'll for a successful exhibition,
weather permitting. There are to be adj
ditional attractions, this year, a drawing
contest on Tuesday and peg and bicycle
races both days. The local wheelmen
seem greatly interested in the latter sport
and will doubtless make fine showing.
With the extra room afforded by the tent
it Is hoped that the exhibits will not be
so crowded as last year. The vegetables,
grain and implements will probably oc-
cupy this space. st Roses drum corps
will furnish music, Tuesday, marching in
the grand procession of cattle, decorated
carts, ETC., at IL n. M, and playing Sc
lections through the day. st Johns or
chestra of Sandy Hook will give a con,
cert, Tuesday evening, in the hall. All
the refreshments at the fair will be in
charge of the Grange, and will be served
In the basement of the hall. Oysters,
baked beans, sandwiches and coffee will
be among the substantials in this line.
Ice cream and cake, lemonade, soda wa
ter and peanuts will also be dispensed at
popular prices.
